ftailg gnitUigmtt CAMPBELLSt M'DEBICOT, (. IDITOSS AID r>OrBI>TOBB. W H E K LI N G: Thursday Morning, April 3,1882. The KIcrtloB To-D*j-. We are glad to know that through the energy of Mr. C. D. Hubbard and others of our cltizeoi, ample provisions has been made to secure to the people of Wheeling an expression of their sentiments on the free State question, to day. Books for this purpose have been prepared and will be fonnd at all the polls in the city. We are also glad to know that the officers who will conduct the election at the various precincts, will interest themselves in elici ting an expression upon the question.? This arrangement although necessarily im perfect and hasty is a great deal better than none. Every man who casts his vote to-day tor a free State will show that he is an earnest man, and a large vote will ?bow to Congress and the country that our people intelligently voted for a new State, and that they meant progress, industry, in crease, in so voting, and that they never meant to perpetrate the farce of voting themselves out of a big slave State into a little one. It will Bbow that they had a purpose that will commend their movement to history; that their action was no idle change for mere change's sake, but that it was induced by the deeply grounded conviction that the Institution of slavery was alien in every respect to the soil and best interests of Western Virginia. In a full vote on this question we have every thing to hope tor. If anything in the world can influence Congress to admit us with our present Constitution it will be in ooosideration of the vote that our people poll in spite of that Constitution, for a free Stale. It will speak a language to the people of the free States that none of us can appreciate here. It will belike the spring call which the husbandman receives from the fields just growing into green.? Thousands of eyes will no longer turn westward for new homes and new fields of labor and enterprise. Convinced that we are in earnest and that we mean sooo to be thoronghtly identified with the great States on either side of us, the peo ple of the free States will no longer pass by our borders as they have done in years past. An other thing is to be considered in the vote to d*v. Several members of the Con vention declared that at a very e.irlr day the legislature would do what the Conven tirn did not do, viz : pass a gradual emanci pation law, similar in substance to Mr. Bitelle'a resolutions. If they were speak ing In good faith when they so declared, they must be earnest desirers of a foil free State vote to-day?for such a vote will be in the nature of our institutions from the people to the very next Legislature. There fore it is doubly and thribly important that we cast as full a vote as possible for a free State to-day. Important in' our relations to Congress, because it is the only thing that will admit us?important in our rela tions to the free States, because trom them we expect to draw our future sources of prosperity, and lastly, important to our selves, in that it will induce the legisla ture at an early day to remedy the mistakes of tbe Convention. Need we say more to our people T We earnestly trust that there is no need for even this much. That man must be blind and perblind indeed, who is so inconsis tent as to profess himself a desirer of a new State and not equally and for the same reasons exactly, a desirer of a tree State. In our best and most candid judgment there can be no such thing as a sincere and ardent new Slate man, who is not also a free 9tate man. Mow t? tbe Time. .Many of our citizens who did not at first favor a division of the State, ardently fa-j vored tbe project of the Pan Handle cot ting loose by herself and going to Pennsyl vania. There is a strong reason why such persons should vote to-day for a free State. In case we fait before Congress and are re manded backagaiu to the tender mercies of Eastern Virginia, she will be convinced thatwe arr-In earnest in wanting ont from under her one idea and one interest rule, aiid she will feel a great deal like letting ds go to Pennsylvania, when as she and all the rest of the world well know we geo graphically belong. Vote. There are some persons, probably, who would vote on the question of a free or slave State, who will not vote for the Con stitution. It should be understood that a man can vote just aa much or as little as he pleases. He can vote on the free State question if he wants to, without voting for anything else, and vice etna. We believe it to be the vital interest, however, of ^very citizen of Western Virginia to rote to-day both for the Constitution and a free State. _ _ Remember Thll, . That every person otherwise qualified, who has been in the State one year and in tbe county thirty days, is a voter to-day. It would be well for the officers of the election to let this fact be aa generally un derstood us possible. "Who and What have made the'City- I of Wheeling. What is it, and who is it that bave built up the city of Wheeling? Let those who worship, tbe nigger inter est answer this question.' Hare niggers made tbii oity? lbs nig ger legislation mad* it? .Hare those who swear by the nigger made it? No! No! Far from it. Anything else, and anybody else but the worshippers of nigger interests. Tbe skill, hard work, and "diligent, pa tient toil of white men from abroad?from the great free States, have made this city. To them she owes her prosperity. She would never bate been more than a miser able, decaying, sickly Virginia town bad it not been for tbe enterprise, the life, the work and capital that has found its way among us. Who is it that build our wagons and car riages in this city? Free State men.? Who is it tbat manufacture our glass and paper? Free State men. Who is it that makeour nails, spikes, axles, railroad iron 4c. Free State men. Yes, free Slate men, all of them.? Nearly all the business of this city; nearly every branch of trade that given the city importance has has been built up and carried on by free State immigrants. They are the life, bone, muscle and sinew of the city. Take them away and the city would not bring tbe price of old clothes. Men of Wheeling 1 do you not see this great fact ? Do you not realize that yonr true interests are with the Stale9 from whence these men came ? Will you vote to-day to encourage or discourage tbe further immigration of suoh men Into Western Virginia ? * To be or not to be 1?That la (Just Ex actly) the Question. Let every man to-day assure himself well of this pregnant fact, that unless we get a freeStatein West Va. we will never have any sort of a State, in all human probability. Congress will not cut Virginia in two, sim ply to make another nigger Slate, and we may as well see this truth first as last* It will cost us less to see it now than to re alise it) after while, when we are deeply out of pocket by our culpable blindoess. We bave tbe chance to get a new Slate, if we want it. If we think more of niggers and nigger interests, however,than we do of all other interests, why let us not go near the polls, but suffer the project to go by default, and creep back into tbe prostituted bosom of rebellious Eastern Virginia, after the war is over, and become her bondmen again for all time to come. This will be exactly our fate in case we endeavor to cut the State in two simply to make another hot bed for Stales right's niggerism and secession to grow in. Con gress will laugh at ns in derision ; so will the people on either side ot us: and even poor, old, worn out, played out and bank rupted Eastern Virginia herself, will de spise us as we come straggling back to ber, after having been refused elsewhere. Panon Brownlow on Gen. Fremont. It seems tbat Gen. Fremont is very popu lar in East Tennessee. Parson Brownlow said in his speech before the Chamber of Commerce in Cincinnati, tbat "Fremont was a msn after his own heart," and tbat he meant to go back to KnoxviUe with the General, and superintend tbe banging of a good many rebels there. Tbe reason why Parson Brownlow likes Gen. Fremont, is just tbe reason why a great many demagogues and partisans and ignoramuses dislike him, viz . because he wasn't afraid to take hold of the nigger question in its relations to rebels. If tbe Parson bad been in command of our forces at the West, we have no doubt; that1 he would have issued just such a proclama tion as Fremont did, and would have con fiscated every nigger of every rebel fonnd iu arms. Southern men by birth and education, like Fremont and Brownlow, understand how to hit the traitors where it will hurt, and what's more, tbey are not afraid to bit. Andy Johnson and Emerson Etb eride are also men of the same stamp.? They are none of your people who bave ten words of abnse for non-believers in the nigger, to one of condemnation for destroyers of the Union. The center of our army across the Po tomae is now at Warrenton, and is push, ing the enemy grodully backward. The rebel army is now beyond the Rappahan nock at that point, having resisted our advance only by occasional skirmishing, to cover their retreat. The right wing. General Banks' division, is at'Strasburg, and Jackson's force is supposed to be at Woodstock. Our left wing, some 80,000 strong, which went down the Potomac, is supposed to be in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe, and is likely soon to be heard from. Watching for the iron-plated bat tery Virginia is now the matt$rof absorb ing interest at the Fortress. It is under, stood that, in addition to the smart liitle Ericsson Monitor, other and novel means of assanlt on the rebel monster have been prepared, upon which great reliance is placed. LrrriNa tbi Cat Oct.?Ono of the just captured rebel officers in the West, said to a Union officer, lately: "The old United States government: we want to have aright government here; that is, a government based on property, and not a d?d mechanic in it!" We wonder if the' rebel volunteers assent to thisT This is exactly the kind of government the South ern "chivalry" want Facts ai Fact*.?It now turnaout, that, had not General McDowell com menced the attack at BuURun^lfc^u regard would have met him beforenoon at Centrevilleon the Sunday of the bat-' tie. That fact might aa well be remem bered. Antf-SIavery Opinion In Tennessee* The Nashville correspondent of the New York giving an account of Emerson Etheridge's late speech at Nash ville, make* these interesting statements about the anti-slavery opinions of Tennes see: v. ? "It this war is protracted, exclaimed Mr. Etheridge, then confiscation and emancipa tion ! And slaveholders shook him by the hand afterward and said amen. I have beard and seen enough here to convince me that Tennessee is beyond an; border state on-the slavery question, unless it be Delaware. I have been told by large slave owners that they would be mightily glad to get rid of the institution. They spoke in praise of President Lincoln's last mes sage. They are in favor of its experiment. One gentleman said: -'I was born among slaves; I was nursed by them, brought up with them; and have always owned tbem ; but I confess to you that I am thoroughly sick of the whole institution. When tbls army, came I called my negroes together and said: '11 you have any notion of leaving me I have only one request to make; leave me altogether and forever; stop no where within my reach. If you turn up around here I'il take you back and flog you; if you get out of uiy sight I'll not stir a step after you.' 'Sir,' he continued, 'the owner is the slave in the border States.? Free white labor is the best for all concern ed.' Upon expressing my surprise at such sentiments, I was told they were nothing unusual in this State." From London Conntjr? The progress of our army through Lou Jon county and the adjoining regions of this State, has opened up the way to onr old subscribers again, and they come straggling back to us with renewals of their subscriptions. From PurceUrille we yesterday received the following letter, written in a quiet private way to us, by an old reader, but a part of which we take the liberty of pnb i li9hing : '?[ '?Please send some copies of the lnltUi gencrr, as we want to see its welcome face again. It was a popular paper bere in times past, before the iron.rule of seces. sion had begun to tyrannize over ns. The I rebels used our good old county very bad lv Almost every farmer lost bis wagon | and horses by them, and this Ipsa waij but one of many untold evils with which they 1 afflicted us. We should like very much if Gov. Peirpoint would spread his wing of protection over this way. Please tell bun so, and ask him to inform us what we must do to get his protection. Must we petition I him, or will he do it without any move ment on our part. Nearly all the of the law have Rone South, and left us | without any protection." The Hope for Re-TTnlon. . Some of .the- reasons for hoping for a I restoration *f the Union by the act of the Southern people are well stated, and not too confidently, in the following paragraph from the N. Y. Tribune: We happen to know tbat a very large proportion of all the white population of ail the slave States?South Carolina pos sibly excepted?desire to live and die citi zens of the Dnited States. We know that I most of those States were coerced into a seeming assent to secession by secret con spiracy and open violence and terrorism. We know that the rebel armies are largely made up of foreigners and others pressed into the service, and that thousands who have nominally volunteered did so under a moral coercion less stringent than actual conscription. We know that thousands who have fought against the old flag de sire to do so no longer, and that many, even in Alabama, have this month volun tarily enlisted to fight for the Union.? Hence we justify our belief that, if the the rebel armies are vigorously though cautiously pressed by our generals, the bottom of this treason will fall out before the first of June. ??atargret Hovrtb." This work, wriUeu by a lady of Wheel ing, is thuB noticed by the Providence Journal This story was originally published in successive chapters in the Atlantic Monthly, and has already met with a deserved suc cess. But it is not a story to be read by piecemeal in the monthly installments of a magazine. It should be taken as a whole to gain a right conception of the authors meaning, and few will read it a second time without discovering a depth oflhought and a beauty of human sympathy and elo quent expression in msiny passages which on a first perusal they neither appreciated nor understood. It is full of in earnest faith in human nature, and a just rever ence for human virtue wherever it may be found, even in those bumble conditions of life where we are least disposed to look for it. The book also abounds in picturesque and splendid descriptions of natural scenery, and in strong and sharp delinea tions of character. Men aad things are alike skilfully treated, and the author may well be proud of her literary success. TheChristian Inquirer (Boston) thus no tices it: "We pass the book. It will do. Peo ple will be better for reading it. They will learn that it iB not all of life to live.? They will see that great problems are working in the humblest brains or the com monest people. They will learn anew to reverppce that glorious human natnre, kindred to the divine, not common or un clean, never wholly lost, always wholly to be recovered, sounding on its dim and per ilous way. never utterly losing the glory of the God it came from, and sometimes catching ilrange foregleams of the glori ous heaven it is going to. Read and pon der 'Margret Howth.'" It has come outon a recent ; trial, of a man named Byrne in Richmond, that he TOS the captain of the band that was to take the life .of Mr. Lincoln. This Byrne used to be a notorious gambler of Balti more, and emigrated to Richmond shortly after the 19th of April, of bloody mem ory. He was recently arrested in Jeff Davis' capital on a charge of keeping a. gambling house and of disloyalty to the chief traitor's pretended- ghyernment? I Wigfall testi9ed- to-Byrne's loyalty to the rebel cause, and gave In evidence that Byrne was the captain of the gang who werr to kill Mr. Ianooln, and npon this evidence, it appears, he was let go. ? The Itlutle M Mattel? (sr'iytU. The Atlantic Monthly toe April la one of the best numbers ever issued; not of that popular periodical merely, but of maga zine literature sinoe its first inoepUon. It is fhll of rieh thoughts clothed in well choeen-words, the' ripe traits of culture, presented with admirable taste. , ? - Number 10. Abmt of th? UusiHSirri, \ Ciur nbae Nkw Madbio, March 2l?. J Editori lnttlligtncer: ?/ , , .. Oar Division is Still oncamped at tl?l? Til lage. TheroarofOom.Foote'smortaisare ringing In oar ears obntlnuoHy. The newspaper accounts differ greatlyss to the effect our Bring is having at No. 10. From the time they commenced ono would sup pose they conld have hammered one an other to atoms by this time. t,0?# ??'* respondents consider it as intolerably dull. work, others consider It just the thing ox-". actly.. And still another class try to do tract from and vilify the actions of thd army. This class are as mean, low a set of sycophants as-ever sponged a dinner at a naval officer's table. Since we have taken possession of New Madrid, we have bad some chance to look around and enquire into the actions of the rebels while holding this point. They have respected neither the rights of friend or foe. Buildings in the town which interfered with thcir arrango ments for shelling us, were either cut away and .Sloped to fall or burned. ? Among the buildings burned was the Court House and jail, thereby destroying the en tire records of the county. The citizens were not allowed to rescue a single book or paper from the flames. A description of this town is not necessary. Justlmnglno a town of seven or eight hundred inhabi tants situated in a slave State, and you have it to a nicety. I noticed a fine orchard about one fourth of a mile from the town | which had reached a fine bearing condi tion, leveled to the earth by these rebel cannibals, who, if not in body, do in sub stance eat both friend and foe. The town of Mew Madrid furnished bat few soldiers to the rebel army. The inhabitants were driven off. But since we have taken possession they come cautiously, slipping in one at a time, | as thongh to ascertain whether they would J receive any better treatment from us. They appeared greatly pleased and surprised when informed that all that was necessary was that they should conduct themselves as good and patriotic citizens of the United States, which they willingly did, appearing willing to secure peace and quiet again at any price. But more than all, rejoiced to I receive it on snob liberal terms from mVn they bad been taught to believe would murder, steal, raviBb and destroy as they marched. I have bat just now been in I formed that the rebels have erected a bat tery opposite the mouth of the creek, or I bayou, that comes in above town. Commodore Foote intended, and partly I accomplished, the feat of sending steamers I for transports from above Island No. 10 to this point, by the extensive swamps or bayons running inland, and connected by 1 the high stage of water, on the Missouri I side of the river. And the boats hnd I reached within a few miles of this point when last night it was discovered that the rebels had erectM a battery on the oppo I site shore, commanding the mouth of the 1 bayou, where they were expected to come I out.- Now all this was brought about by I the sycophant correspondents connected I with the fleet. I suppose the Commodore I has found out by this time that such men I can tting as well as flatter. The plan was I to send these transports to Gen. Pope.? I This division could by that means have been in one night thrown across the river | and by a march of ten or twelve miles I reached the rear of the enemy, thus com pletely surrounding them. But before the boats had passed over half the dls I tance,having greatdifficulties to surmount, the whole plan was published to the world by these men who abnse one man to benefit and baild op another. Several of these correspondents have spoken very disparagingly of the West I ern army, compared with the gunboat I fleet, when everybody with one grain of I common sense knows, that if it had not I been for what has been accomplished by I the Western army and the sea coast fleet, this rebellion, instead of being on the de cline, as it is, would be ahead of the gov ernment, and in a fair way, If not already I recognized by foreign powers, the Western I gunboats and Eastern army to the contrary I notwithstanding. What have the gunboats lever accomplished? At Fort Henry the I rebels ran withont making a stand. At Fort Donelson the gunboats wero with drawn without silencing a battery or a gun. When we came close to the town the peo I pie were all ardered to ieave, or they would 1 be arrested and sent to Memphis. Several | Germans living here have been greatly per I secuted. They are Union men of the .most I uncompromising kind. I It is amusing to read letters from here I published in different newspapers. Each | regiment claima to have done all the fight ing. The only coricct account I have seen is Gen. Pope's official to Gen. Halleck; The First Infantry Buffered the most; having I .two killed'and four wonnded, three of I whom have since died. I Soring the engagement, Lient. Col. Swayne of the 48d, was sitting on (lis horse, one he valued highly, cooly survey ing things, when Col. Smith informed bim that the rebels In the fort .were trying to get a shot at him. He cooly dismounted, patted bis favorite on the neck and talked a few steps from bim, when a six-pound I rifle shot struck the horse, completely dls I emboweling him. About 12 o'clock a shot from one of the I rebel guns disabled one of ours, breaking a piece out of the muzzle, killing two men I and wounding four. They jumped up on I the ramparts and'commenced cheering, for getting their own guns, which gave onr I gunners a fair chance. Our 64-pounder I was carefully loaded and sighted, and a ball sent whistling through the air before I they could'hide, which dismounted a 32 I pounder and killing and wounding twelvo 1 men. As we were within eight hundred yards of the fortonr officers could by means I of their glasses see every movement. Then I you should have heard us cheer. It was a specimen of a regular norwester. The health of theregiment is remarkably I good. Onr company has but four on the siek list and one in the hospital. T. I Co. D,' 43d regiment O. V. I.
