From the Oorreepondence of the N. T. Herald.
The Arrest el Gen. Harney.
Wasiunqton, April 80, 1861*
It is unnesessary to say that a paragraph
published in yesterday’s New York 1Vines,
purporting to havo been telegraphed from
front Washington, to the effeot that Harney
purposely enueed his own arrest at Harper’s
Ferry, is a baseless alaadsr. I have just re
turned from an interview with General Har
ney, who makes the following statement:
Early on^Thursday morning I was apprised
by the railroad conductor that we were at
Harper's Ferry, and that there were indications
of an intention to arrest me. I did not believe
this wts intended; but a party of soldiers
presently entered the ears, and apologising for
disturbing me, said that I must oonsider my
self their prisoner. I asked, hot was not al
lowed to |telegraph to the Secretary of War.
i was taken to Gen. Carson’s quarters, and
informed that I should be required to go
to Richmond. Accordingly I left, before day
light, in a carriage, attended by five offioert
of the staff. They had proposed to send a large
force as an escort, but I assured them that
it was above my dignity to attempt an escape;
that the matter was between them and my
Government, and that I did not wish to receive
an unnecessary amount of attention from the
publio on the way. We were three days on the
journey, which was made partially on wheels
and partially by rail. I was treated on the
route, as well as at Harper’s Ferry, with the
greatest courtesy. Regret was expressed that
orders were such as to oompel my detention.
No disagreeable subjects were introduced, and
no effort made to obtain my oonfidenoe. On
Sunday evening we reached Richmond, and
went at once to Gov. Leioher’s house. The
Governor was dining out, but was sent forim*
mediately. He released me, stating that his
orders had been misunderstood. I learned
that the Harper’s Ferry force had been direc
ted to atop all armed bodies, and that the tel
egraph had announced me as coming at the
head of fourteen hundred troop*. I was treated
with great attention at Richmond by Governor
Letcher, Colonel Lee, Colonel Johnson and oth
ers, whom 1 hate known, and was waited up
on by a number of other prominent oitisens.
There seemed to be some curusity to see me,
and some belief that 1 intended to resign my
commission in the United States Army. On
this latter point they were deoeived.
At half past five on Monday morning I left
for Alexandria, where I arrived in the after
noon. Gov. Letcher offered escort, which I
refused. The people along the route seemed
to have heard that I was coming, and at some
of the stations were gathered in considerable
numbers. At one point there was a great
crowd, who stared and called me to come ont
and show myself; but exoept by some boys no
disgraceful remarks were made. I did not
•ee more than a half a doxen soldiers in all,
and no fortifications and no batteries at Alex
andria, which seemed like a deserted village.
At Richmond and Harper’s Ferry, it being
dark, I saw a few troops. At the former place,
I notioed, aa I came away, three large seces
sion flags in the main street , but the display
of bunting waa as nothing compared with what
I had observed in Cincinnati and other North
ern oities. Throughout my journey, as at its
commencement I was treated with great cour
tesy, even delicate of attention. So far as 1
could judge from conversations which I had,
both with officers and civilians, the tone of
Virginia is calm but resloved. 8be hss no in
tention of attacking Washington, bnt means
to aot on the defensive, olaiming, according to
th* dootrin* of States rights, that she can
leave the Union at pleasure, and believing the
North and South are two diatinct people, which
ought to have separate Governments.
1 beard much regret expreesed at the pre
sent condition of affaire, but no indioatione of
the existenoe of an unkind feeling towards the
North. 1 was assured by Governor Letcher
and others high in authority, that Virginia en
tertained no idea of attacking Washington. —
This of course oannot cover Jeff. Davis' move
ments ; but [ cannot believe be, though stub
born, bas so little ebrewdness as to undertake
the enterprise.
I left St. Louis on Thursday. I think that,
although since the affair of Fort Sumter, the
feeling in favor of secession baa strengthened
in Missouri, she will not attempt to go out
of the Union.
General Harney reported to the Secretary
of War this morning. He has at yet received
no ordere, but will probably, inasmuch as he
is the only general officer of the regular army,
exoept General Scott, now here, be placed in
command of this military department. Gen.
Harney aaw one ef the regiments from the
East oa ths avenue last evening. He says he
never saw better marohing.
General Harney looks older than is gener
ally imagined. Hie hair is growing gray,
and his mustache is snow white. But he is
fine looking, unusually tall, and *nt the same
time a robust man, of welt koit, muscular
form, active and energetic.
