Cap*. Lilb1, Book. We hare received from B C. Grtres & Co., the ageat* for Writ Virginia, a cop/ of Capt. Leib'a book, called "Nine Uontbi io the Quartermaster's Department; or the Chance* far Making a Million." Tbe copy before ui U paper covered, got up io tolerable atjrle, somewhat after the Cub ion of yell eir-backed poreli, and is told at 50 cents. Tbe frontiipage ia ornamented with a portrait of Capt. Leib, and it la as natural as life. The tame big-headed, bald-front ed, double-chinned, booked-nosed, mous tached individual that many of oar citi xens have eeen on oar etreeta i> aeen in tbii book. We bare examined only hurriedly the two hundred page* which make np the book, and caanot speak critically of all ita content*. Tbe ityle ii very loose, and principally conversational. It is mora a compilation of fragmentary personal scenes and quarrels and aet-toa of one kind and another than anything else. It is evident ly published more as a vindication of Capt. Lleb's administration of tbe quartermas tersblp at Clarkiborg than as a book ol general entertainment and instruction.? Tbe Captain figures promin ently in about every chapter, and bo always turns ap first best In every difficulty. Taking tbe book aa a reliable history of his career as quar termaster at Clarksburg, an l it makes out a good case for hint. Indeed bis pen al waya compels bis fault-Gnderi to come down, and convicts them in every instance of bitter prejudice, a mercenary purpose or pitiful ignorance. Innumerable dispatches are published, sbowiog what an embar rassing time Capt. Leib bad in the way of wading along through the clamors and complaints of tbe military and the outside public. He particularly gives fit* to hia diaappolnted enemiea around Clarksburg, and by their initiate takes bold of some of tbe prominent people aronnd there and be labors them in a most caustic manner.? One of bis pictures is a view of tbe "ISart lett House, tbe principal hotel in Clarks burgh," as he atylea it. It la made to look ahackley enough. We did not know be fore that tbe half resurrected ruin of the "Bartlett llause" was considered tbe prin cipal botel in Clarksburg. We supposed tbe old '?North Wostern" claimed that dis tinction. The "Bartlett House" may have been before it waa burned down. Of the town ltaelf, be aaya: "It ia a motley collec tion of rickety frame bouses, dirty looking brick dwellings, and old atone buildinga, aome of which are propped up by large piecea of scantling?shattered monuments of tbe first families of Virginia. For the most part, the grouods around the dnrell iuga are'alike dealitute of good taste or comfort Tbe town boasts a Court House (a most extraordinary specimen of archi tecture,) wbioh ia used for every purpose bealde it* legitimate one; for fairs, balls, partiea, political, indignation and. other meetings." Concerning the appearance of people in and around Clarksburg, bo says: ' 'An air of listless inactivity broods orcr the whole town. Uany of tbe people tire hospitable and kind, tbe ladles refined and educated?have more energy tbnn the men ?wbo, for tbe most part, are laay, indo lent, and delight In Interfering with the affairs of strangers. Their principal oc cupation, in the drowsy summerafteruoons, is to sit upon their door-steps, with their little negroes playing at their feet, gazing into the street: at times discussiog tbe war, and marking out plans for our gener als to follow. ? ? ? The languid Inac tivity of tba totfn reminds one of tbose primitive Dnteh places la New York, so graphically described by Washington Ir ving. There tbe resemblanco ends, for an ancient Dutch bnrgber would be horrified at tbe unlhriftiness and laziness of tbose claiming to be descendants of the cava liers." Tbis is Oapt. Lelb's description of the pleasant town of Olarksbnrg. It is evident be does not remember the place happily, and that he does not care to do justice to Its attractions. Aftar bitting off tbe town, be proceeds to bit off some of the inhabitants, and he draws soma bitter sketches of several peo ple., . He concludes Clarksburg by saying that When the question as to the loation of tha capital of the proposed sew State was discussed, Clarksburg entered tbe list, bnt no two men could agree as to where the public buildings should be erected. Fifty years ago, tbe people had more enterprise than bave tbose of the present generation.'" One of his funniest pictures Is 'a take off on the lodignation meetingtbatwas got up ' against him at Clarksburg last fall. It looks like tha illustrations of some meet ings which Dickens describes. It would be diScnltto conceive that ao hard a crow J .J ooold bo mastered up around Clarksourg. I He says that the following Is a specimen ol ' tha klbd of bills that tba people around ' there brought in. against. the government: f Captain Libe, United States 1 To Buock Seers. dr. 1 tn 19 tnrkes tuck by solgtrs 20.00 C " . mo '" ditto' 1 pigge 10,00 .

"1 cannot pay it." "All I've got to say, if that'* the way you're gciog to do, I ihanl be a Union man any more." "Good morning, fir." "Like many more," conclude! the Cap taio, "his loyalty depended upon what he could make oat of the Government." Capt. Letb'a book la foil ot scenes of thia character, iloit of them ending aa the above, with "good morning air," from the Captain, which seems ?o bare been hit way ? of shutting down on a mau when be want ed him to leave. Nearly all these scenes hare more or leu local interest, and we ?ball probably find apace to publish some of them from time to time. We will con clude to-day with what he says about Capt. Craigs experience in first coming to Wheel ing to muster in troops. '?Shortly after be was appointed Captain and Assistant Quartermaster, he wag di rected to proceed to Wheeling and muster into service such companies as could be organized in Western- Virginia, which the government, from dispatches and letters received were led to believe were numer ous. He declares that Instead or belog met by twenty two hundred men, ready to be enrolled, as bad been represented, he was met with nothing but soeers and jeers at I every corner, and with epithets of Lincoln Abolitionist, and mercenary hireling, and that such a thing ma a star spangled banner conld nut be obtained in the city of heel ing for love or money." Not daunted with this discouraging re ception, he determined to see if some good I could not ".out out of Nazareth," had flags made, purchased druma, hired musi I ciaoa, and, after two weeks of hard labor, | succeeded in raising one company. While there was a strong Union under-current I in Wheeling, men reared to avow their opinions, and the few who boldly did de clare that the Union must he preserved at I all hazards, and the President sustained, did so at tbe peril of their lives." Any one can see that the above state I raeut is far from being trne, whether it I emanates from Capt. Leib or Capt. Craig. Long before Capt Craig oame .hero Major Oakes had come, and had mastered in sev 1 eral compaoies, and there were numerous flags flying even when the Major came; in I fact, there never was any other flag flying in this city than the Stars and Stripes, and at no time conld any other have been rais ed with impunity. There was a time, it is I true, when but few flags floated. be lieve tbatthis office threw ont tbe first one after the ordinance of secession passed, and Laugblins tc Busbfield tbe second. [ Some three or four flags floated alonefor about a week, but after that they increased rapidly. On the 13th ol May, before Capt. I Craig honored Wheeling with his presence, the first Convention met here in Wheeling. 1 Every body that was here will remember that tbe city was literally alive with people, I flags and banners were everywhere, tbe city flattered with them from end to end, and tbe enthusiasm that prevailed bad not been equalled for years before, and has not been I since. Tbe secessionists here had long be fore Captain Craig came become very I docile and scarce, and if be encountered so I many it must have been because he took especial pains to fall in their way or they I in his. All tbe talk, therefore, of Capt I Craig's experience is simply untrue. Tli? Blcfc and Wounded of the Pint Virginia In the llospttealsat Alezan . drlee, Washington and Frederick. Maryland. Iter. Mr. Bitteile, Chaplain of the 1ft Vir ginia Infantry, arrived at borne on Satur day last, quite ont of health. He has been with the regimont ever since tbe mid dle of February, and has participated in al! of the Exciting and rough exposuro ot the regiment since thai time. Be was with tbctn at the battle pt Winchester, acd on that dangerous reconnoisance near Colum bian bridge, in Pago count/, where they were so nearly surroonded by the enemy, and also on.their killing march to Frede ricksburg and back?some two hundred and sixty miles. On tbe 4th of Jane; being too unwell for camp duty, be was sent by Ool. Tboburn from Luray back over the Manassas Gap railroad to Alexaudrla and Washington and Frederick city, to look. In to and report upon the condition of our wounded, sick and disabled in the hospi tals at those places. He found all our un fortunate, are glid to say, in a confut able aud convalescing condition.

Now, what is the open declaration ol the Tntelligencert Why, as tale as Saturday morning, it put for'h this sentiment?"The Union can never be restored as it was, no more than a man can call back bis life and lire it over." There is a marked resem blance between the declarations of, the leader* of the rebellion and the declaration of onr neighbor. The similarity is so glar-r ing that any one can see,it. It is Very evi dent that his presentprpellvitlei, compared with bis late antecedents'; plainly indicate that ha prefers & dissolution o( tpe Union to its restoration to ils original position ? Hence,- hlirdjsanldplsm.?- Wheeling'Preu of yalerday. In our limited newspaper experience we j hare seen, and been made the subject of some very mean instances of garbling and misrepresentation; bat nothing that we now remember "ever equalled the above para graph. The Pre** is tike a certain animal, which, when cornered, resorts to lbs only means of defense nature has given it Wanting a decent argument, it obeys its natural instincts and falls back on perver sion and falsebopd. Driven to the wall by the Intelligencer of Saturday, it picks out m single sentence from a long paragraph, isolates It, taking it rway from its con nection and giving it an interpretation precisely opposite to its real meaning, calls it a "sentiment," and then with an ineffa ble and brazen mendacity that would do credit to the Satanic Iterald in its happi est efforts, it attributes that sentiment to us, to make it appear that toe are in league with the infernal conspiracy for which we have already shown the Pre** has too warm a sympathy. It is the habit of low natures to resort to tricks, dodgei ?.*>:! turns when they get into tronble. It is an instinct given to compensate, in some measure, for a lack of sense, which. per vades the animal kingdomj and is some times found in man. It is that which im pels the hard pressed barglar in the street to cry out''Stop thief 1" or the low bred bully to higgle about fair play. Among ibe lower animals it is very well, but in a newspaper it is something worse than con temptible?it is inexcusably mean. When we penned the paragraph from which the Preu makes its selection, we felt a very strong conviction tbat tbat* delectable sheet would do precisely what it did. We knew its instincts, and could calculate with an accuracy next to certainty what tbey would impel it to do. Our previous expe rience bad discovered to u's that it bad a talent in that direction?the only talent, we may remark, it was ever known to ex hibit, except for heavy locals, and general stupidity. la proof of what we assert, here is the paragraph (rom our article of Saturday, from the lid-bit picked oot by the Press to its conclusion, wbicb, taken as n whole, expresses this "sentiment :" That the Union oan and will be restored, not literally ns it wns before the rebellion, for the lapse oi time and the wear and tear of events ren ders that^iraply a physical Impracticabili ty, but restored as vindicated, purified and strengthened by the struggle for the main tainanco of its cxisteneo. It will be seen that the first sentence taken alone, would mean precisely- the reverse,.l?ut read in its proper connection, means exactly what we have stated. We take the liberty of itali cising those portions which directly contra dict the perversions of the 1'reis : The Onion never can be lestored as it was, nomoretbanaman can call back bis life and live it over. The past is irrevocable?the , mischief of the past is irreparable. . Can you restore lo life, to their families, to so-. | ciety, the thousands of gallant, and gener 0119 souls who were murdered, and mangled afterward, by "armed traitors, because they would not tamely aurrender their Govern meut and Constitution?their free ipstitp Hons?their civilisation ? Can yau restore the inilliooe of treasure tbat bare beep swallowed up because the Union has been assailed and must and will be preserved,? If you cannot, then yon oao not restore the Union aa it was. But you- may restore it, and make it belter than it-wot. .Yon may sink, conspiracy, against . freedom and hu man rights so deep in tbeoceau of infamy tbat no plummet cattiever reach it, and no bubble will ever corns up. to ihow where it went. down., forever. - You may make the Union tetter than it vat, strong tr than ev er,. more respected abroad . and loved at home, but you nl first expunge the laet vestige of secession, otherwise it will lin ger like the dreaded plague, and the war for our institutions will every few 'yean have to be fought over. Can anything be plainer than that. ,The man who could so garble and falsify a' newspaper paragraph, would garble, the holy scriptures themselves to prove himself a saint end every one else a devil. Will iho'Prets have the manliness to print the paragraph witfe, those oommenu 1 .We pre sume not. : ti?v ,j : The trouble is: that the iVus don't like our -way of restdrintfthe'Unibn.

A meeting of the Board of Tntdrf ' ru held, and the bill endorsed and lent 08" to onr members, with a request that they ue their influence to have it passed The bill passed the Hsnse and is now in the Senate. wjth a reasonable prospect of con curreace bj that body. | So all Jraj well; there could be no objection to so important an Improvement, as' the bill stipula ted that the piers should be three hundred feet apart, so as not. to obstruct navigation; bat, yesterday, a dispatch was receiTed from Senator Cowan setting forth, we believe, that there was a very large "an aconda" in the bill, under which any num ber* of bridges might be bnilt across the Ohio without any restriction as to the space between the piers, and asking the Board if they- understood what tbey had endorsed. Another meeting wu etonce called, and 'resolutions' kdopted'requesting the Senator to ..use his influence to defeat the bill. Tbe action of the meeting was telegraphed to Mr. Cowan yesterday, bat what the revolt will be remalos to be seen. That our readers may the better understand the force of Mr. Cowan's objection to tbe bill, we submit that section in which it Is claimed the "anaconda" was discovered : BXCXS0S3. And belt further enacted. That ft shall be lawful for say Other mllfead company or ooupa niea, whoee Una or UoM of road s?r no* or shall hereafter be bafft to the Ohio river, fn accordance with the terms of the charter or charters of each cotapany or oompaelM, to bolld a bridge aero? aid fiver for the mete perfect connection of aay saeh roads and for the r'??? of trains thereof, ander the limitation* and conditions hereafter provided. The limitations here referred to are very clear and precise. They set forth that the bridge msy.be built either os n draw, or with unbroken or continuous spaas, pro vided, that if it "Ihell be made with unbroken and continuous spans it shall not "be of less elevation than ninety feet above low water mark over the channel of tbe said river; _nor shall the piers of tbe same be of less distance spsrt than two hundred feet: And provided also tbst if any bridge built under tbe privileges of this act shall we constructed as a draw bridge, the same may be constructed with piers not less than two hundred feet apart, except that at the interval designated for the draw, tbe space of clear waterway may b* reduced to, but shall not'be less than one hundred feet on each side of the pivot or central pier of tbe draw; and tbst said draw shall be located immediately over the channel of tbe said rirer as understood at the time of the erection of tbe bridge.? And provided, also, that both spans of said draw shall at all times remain open for the passege of boats, except' when required to be closed for flie passage of engines or trains, and for ten minutes preceding tbe time any such engines or trains may be due." The Philadelphia Nqrth American urges tbe passsge of the bill in an article in yesterday's issue which we giro below. Itssys: We print to-day tbe bill cow pending in tbe 8enate of the United 8tates making the rafiroei bridge orer the Ohio rirer at SteubenrUie a poet route, and thus restoring all obstacles to its construction. This mean ore ha I previously passed the House, but hangs Are in the Senates chiefly on accountofthe strange oppo sition of Mr. Cowan, of Pa. It is true that this gen tleman is from Westmoreland county, which 1* Hemp field all orert but we can hardly suppose tbat bis op position* to tbe bill arises from the riralry existing be tween the Wheeling and Steubenrllle Interests. We hare always adrocated the building or the llempfield Kail road, but if Is to stand in the way of all other im prorements In that section of the State, tbe people of PennsyIrsinla and Ohio will be xerf apt to rote it an intolerable naisaooe. Whaterermay be Mr. Cowan's reasons for opposing the measure, although the feet of this antagouistn being manifested by a Pennsylni nia Senator is most unfortunate* still we think tiiat tbe Senate ought not for that alone hesitate in doing for this bridge what it did for the one ot Wheeling.? That structure Is necessary to the completion of a great line of-railway extending through Petrasylre ula, Ohio and Indiana, and It ought not to be author ised by Congress. ?Since the above was put in type wo have aeeu Ibe Hon. Robert M'Kniglit, nod lenroed from him some facts iq. relation to tUe passage of the bill through the House. It was rushed through under the previous | question, belore our members hud an op portunity of examining its details. They were under the lmpressioutbat.it called for a clean channel-way under any bridge that might be bnilt under its provisions, of two hundred feet, but upon examination it was found that if a draw-bridge was erected the bill provided but for a obaonel-wny of one hundred.feet. As soon as this dis covery was made, opr. members visited the Senate, and saw several mcmbej-s of that- body with a view of securing that defeat of the bill, or having it amended so as to ptovide for a clear channel-way of two hundred feet<... One of the- greatest difficulties against which our members had to contend in endeavoring to secure the de feat of the bill io.tbe Senate arose from the action of the Pittsburg Board, of Trade in memorializing the Senate forJts passage, vet this very same Board bad the coolness yesterday to pass a resolution, concerning I our representatives, because they failed to discover a "snake," of..the presence of which they themselves, though they under took to endorge'lbe bill, bad not the remo test Ideal- We are informed that both the members from here are opposed to the bill a* it stands, sod'that no effort will be left untried to secure its defeat in the Sen ate.
