All "is quiet at. Charlestown, but the military forces are steadily augmenting there. The barns, stockâ€"yards and farm- ing implements, amounting in value to many thousand dollars, the property of Messrs- John Burns, George H. Tate and 31. Shirley, all. of whom were jurors upon the late trials have been destroyed by in- cerrrliar'igas. Rumors obtained circulation at Charlestown and at. Harper’s Ferry, to the effect that a large body of armed men had passed the Ohio near Wheeling, en route to the rescue of Brown. had created the utmost consternation, and Col. Davis, the commander of the Militia left at Chorlestown, had telegraphed to, Gov. Wise for the additional force oll five, bundrdd men, as he was on the eve. of a sanguinary battl-.:. ' A despatch from Wheeling, however, sets this prepos- ranciug from I’etersburgti. Harper‘s Fairy. Nov. ‘20. The fresh exoitement was caused by the arrival from Bellair, near Wheeling, of a man named Smith Crane, who stated that. he had incidentally overheard a conversa_~ tion between some men, who had organi- zed a band of five hundred to march to the release of Brown and the other prisoners at Charlestmvn. He immediately set out for Harper’s Ferry to apprise the inhabi- tants of the fact. It was also rumored at Charlestown that a fight had occured in Clarke County be- tween some citizens and a party of stranâ€" gers. and a detachment was sent to the scene of disturbance. On the receipt of these rumors desâ€" patclies were sent by Col. Davis to Gov. Wise for five hutrdred more troops, who arrived here this evening, the Governor being with them, and our town is again bristling with bayonets arid considerably excited. No one, however, is at all afraid ,oftlre result, even if an attempt should be 'made. Col. Davis has made ample pro- vision for any. number of the enemy who imay make a call. More troops are being '; demanded of the Governor, but. this may be as much to protect the prisoners from, the populace as anything else. As far as lcan learn there is no cauSe to appreâ€" hend danger. Washingt on. Nov. 19.
