Subsequent Release of the Prisoners.
Martinsburg, July 1—12.35.—Col. Harness, formerly of Ashby’s cavalry, captured Moorfield on Sunday afternoon, and about one hundred of the Maryland Home Guard who held the place were all taken prisoners.
They were subsequently paroled by Harness and sent to Cumberland with accoutrements, but without guns. The Marylanders were deceived about the number of rebels. They were reported 4,000 strong. Harness has got himself in a bad box, as he can’t escape capture.
Captain Carpenter, of the Jessie Scouts, was shot in the leg by a rebel female at Cumberland last night. The wound is not dangerous.
