The Harper's Ferry Affair. --A letter from Hagerstown, dated on the 19th, says: "We were all set astir this morning, about twenty minutes after seven, by the appearance of United States soldiers, about fifty in round numbers, dragging themselves up towards the depot. They were the most haggard individuals I have seen for some time, soiled and muddy, and so tired that they were scarcely able to drag their arms after them. Their intention was to get on the cars and go to Carlisle. The history of their adventures last night at Harper's Ferry I presume you are acquainted with already. We could get but little out of them; some dropped hints of what they had done last night, and some said if 'they had their say they would be in some place else.' They all appeared quite uneasy, as they came 'too late for the cars,' and not knowing what kind of reception they would receive were anxious to be off as soon as possible. The poor devils were too tired to walk, as they had come

From the South. One of the South Carolina volunteers, who arrived last evening, mentioned a rumor that Fort Pickens had been taken by Gen. Bragg, after a terrible battle, and a loss of 1,004 men on our side. The report needs confirmation. New Orleans, (Via Charleston,) April 22.-- A meeting was held here to-day to clear the city of Abolitionists and suspected persons. Two are under arrest.

Commander Joseph Myers. U. S. N. --In noticing the resignation of Capt. Myers, of this city, of the late "United" States Navy tendered to Lincoln on the 22d of April, an error was committed in saying that Capt. M. had been connected with the Navy "for nearly thirty-five years." He was, we learn, connected with the naval service for nearly forty-seven years, and during that long period rendered good service to his country, as the records show. Lincoln must be small potatoes indeed, when grey-haired veterans of the Army and Navy quit in disgust at his impudent assumptions and unwarrantable assaults on the constitutional liberties of the people whom he disgraces in pretending to represent as head of the nation.
