Harper's Ferry to be Occupied.

--Among the first movements of the War Department will probably be to occupy Harper's Ferry with Northern troops. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the following by telegraph from Washington:

‘ The Hon. John Covode intends to muster a regiment in the centre of the State of Pennsylvania, which Gen. Cameron will order to Harper's Ferry Armory immediately, as he says that some of the best men in the Mexican army came from that region.
