Richmond Papers. We are under obligations to Gen. Mil roy for late Richmond papers. He sends us from Winc'jpp'ler, the Enquirer of the 25tti and 27tb, and the Dixpatch of the 25th of Dec. They were captured at theStms burg post-office by Gen. Cluseret's com mand on the 3d itist. The leading .irlicle in the Enquirer of of the is bended the 4*Virginia Sena torship," in which it argue? that some per son of Whip antecedents ought to be elec ted to the Confederate Senate, in the place ol Win. Bollard Preston, recently deceased, iunsmuch as Mr. Hunter, formerly a Demo crat. is the other Senator. The editorial coni-ludes thus : Whether the ancient division of East and West Virginia is to bo continued by selecting the next Senator from Western Virginia, will be tor the Legislature to de termine. For ourselves, we have long de sired to see tbi-? unnecessary and often unfortunate barrier removed, and all Vir ginia, trom the Atlantic to the Ohio, known only as the Old Douiiuiou. It was a division of office that grew up un ler the United Stste*. and we hope the revolution has so intensified the patriotism ot all Virginia, that hereafter no such sectional divisions wi'l be known. Those who urge the claims of Western Virginia, cover up too ofteu a selfish motive. Wes ? ru Virginia has no such interest in con flict with Virginia. Let us leave the name of Western Virgiuin to Pierpoint, for the name is all that he will ever get. Among the local items in the Enquirer we find the following, to which we desire to call the atteution of those babbling dis loyalists in our midst who are forever harp ing 0:1 the ??arbitrary arrests" of the gov ernment : Takkn tiik Oath.?F. De Smith, who was arrested some months ago, and con fiued in Castle Thunder, as a Unionist, was released on yesterday by order of the Sec retary of War, he having at length conclu ded to take the onth of nllegiance to the Confederate States. The only offence of F. De Smith it seems was simply that be was a "Unionist.'' That is all that is alleged, aud as if that was an all-sufficient one in poiut of beinou?ness the Enquirer merely mentions the fact that for some months he had been con fine! as a "Unionist," and wa.? at last released after being compeiled to take an oath to support the rebellion. Sup pose that any man in this city, afur who^e name "secesionist" could be written, just as "Unionist** was written after the uarne of F. De Smith, should be taken up and put in confinement until be look the oath to the government, what a howl we should bear. And yet would it not souud infinitely better aud more reasonable and more right every way to a true American ear, to read that "Mr. A? B?, who was arrested some months ago, and confined in the Atheneum, as a secessionist, was re leased by order of the Secretary of War, he having at length concluded to take the oath ot allegiance to the United States.1' Secessionists iu our midst think it is a ter rible thing to be compelled to swear allegi ance to the established government of their fathers?to the government under which they were born?yet it is nothing to them that all through the southern land huudreds of true men are rotting in filthy prisons, t?imply because they will not join in the conspiracy to destroy the government under which they and their fathers were boru and reared. We do uot read iu any of the Southern papers, auy tebukes for these imprisonments. No paper there dares open jts mouth to say even a cold word of syrnpa. thy for such men as Botts and his heroic fel low sufferers. Yet here on this side of the line we have papers and people who will humiliate themselves even iu the eyes of the Southern conspirators,by lionizing such men as Dr. Olds', of Ohio, MarshalJKane, of Baltimore, Judge Thompson of Wheeling, and many others who could be named. Each of these men could not live an hour in the South, out of jail, if they had ever dared to say one tithe against the conspir acy that they h*ve said against the Union. Aud yet see what a howl these men and their truitorons sympathizers raise over their pretended injuries. Every traitor of them richly deserved all and much more than he efer got. Not a man of intel ligence among us, loyal or disloyal, but what is forced to acknowledge this to him self. And the reason why our government has not thus far coped successfully with the rebellion is because it has permitted such men as we have named to embarrass and distract its strength of purpose. The rebels have clinched Union men and re morselessly pot them under, never allowing them on any pretext, to run at large as our government has so weakly and discoursgingly done in so many instances. No man dare say in Richmond that he is a'jUnion man. Yet men dare say they are secessionists here in Wheeling. No m in in Richmond would ever dare to demand that the Confederate flags should be taken down from any public ball in order to make any public demonstration less offensive or more popular to any portionof the citizens. Yet that thing has been done here. On the fide of the rebels there is a constant and cit ln lf h discipline in vindi.

Senate. Thursday, Jan. 8. The Senate wa9 opened with prayer by I the Rev. R. V. Dodge: I Mr. Cather offered a resolution that the President of the Senate appoiut a commit tee of three to consider the propriety of re pealing the act creating the county of i Tucker. Mr. Flksber submitted a bill authorix- j log C. B. Waguer, as Trustee, to sell cer | tain lands in Mason county, which was read and referred. Also an act reducing taxes on certain property. Mr. Stewart reported n bill for the re lief of Theodore Davis. Read a first time and ordered to be printed. A communication wa? received from the House announcing the passage of House bills N'os. 19, 27 and 35. On motion of Mr. Fleshkr the joint res olution proposing to go into the election of a Public Printer ou Friday, the 9th, was taken up and loat. Mr. Watson called up the resolution of fered by himself and laid over, proposing, on the 12th day of January, with the con I sent of the House, to go into an election f?>r i United States Senator, to fill the vacancy which will be occasioned by the expiration | of the term of Wuitman T. Willey. Mr. Stewart huid that the time propos t ed by the resolution was two days ufter the j lime fixed for an adjournment by a public j meeting recently held at Kiugwood, in Mr. | Gathers' district. He wanted to know | what was to be done about this. Mr. Gather said the meeting alluded to was composed chiefly of Browns, about thirty-five men and boys and a few old i men. lie thought we need not allow that meeting to bother us at all. Mr. Gist moved to substitute Tuesday I the 13th for Monday the 12th. Adopted. " j The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Flrsher called up the act staying the collection of certain debts?known as the Stay Law. Considerable discussion ensued, upon an amenduient of Mr. Stewart's striking out! the portion of the bill requiring creditors ! to puy semi-annual instalments. Mr. Burlky said that the whole State was opposed to these stay laws and al ways had been. All such laws were de moralizing in their effects. There is a great deal of money iu the country, as much as there ever will be again. He was in favor of a compromise upon the provisions of the bill and if he could not effect that he would vote against the whole bill. Mr. Jackson Haid lie was opposed to the bill. He considered all such laws uncon stitutional, as they interfered with the ob ligations of contracts. Mr. Flesukr adhered to the original bill. He ulluded to the differenca between thecondition of his people and the people represented by the gentleman from Mar shal (Mr. Burly.) His people had been overrun and impoverished, while those of the Pau Handle enjoyed peace and pros perity. In reference to the obligations of contracts he alluded to the contract of Sbylock for the pouud of fiesh. Mr. Stewart said he believed if the Legislature had never passed a stay law the condition of the State would have been much better. He had never favored a stay law, because he thought there was no mouey in'tbe country. It wag because property exposed to sale at this time would not briug anything like,its value. For this reason he would stay the whole or none. He spoke some length in favor of his motion to strike out. Messrs. Gather, Flesher, Garskaden and others participated in the debate which was quite lengthy. The motion to strike out was lost, and the bill was recommitted to the Committee on Courts of Justice. The bill for the relief ot Stephen W. Downy was taken up and passed. The Seuate bill in relation to co-ter ininus coal lands west of the Blue Ridge was taken up aud passed.

A Review or the Past. Wischbstkr, Jan 5, 1863. Editors Intelligencer: Again the slow and silent wheels of time have made their annual round. It is a fit time to review the past. The jear that has just closed, with respect to the history of this country, has been a moat eventful one. Leaving the historian ;to collect and ar range, in'tbeir proper order, the events of the past, I shall notice a few facts connect ed with our brief career as soldiers, which may interest our friends in West Virgtoia. Foremost among those who responded to the call of the President, made July 10th, for 300,000 volunteers, were those who now compose the 12th Virginia regiment. And now, on looking back over the past i five months of our history as soldiers in the i service of our country, although it has not | fallen to our lot to meet the enemy upon j the battle-field, yet we have performed i many rapid and fatigueing marches. | Our regiment baying been separated I several times, and arriving at the same ' place by different routes, I am not able to I state exactly "the distance marched by I all, but the greater part have marched 600 miles on foot, and traveled by railroad over I 200 miles. The marching was accom plished in 32 days. The greatest distance | marched in one day was 34 miles. These | rapid 'marches and an entire change of I life, have not been without their corres j ponding effects. Many, and even those I among the mure robust, have been pros trated upon beds of sickness, and some have been consigned to the 41 narrow house appointed for all living." | The number of deaths in the regiment, | up to this time, is nineteen, and the hum 1 ber sick in hospitals and at home, about two hundred. The weather, for the moat part, has been very pleasant, the roads dry and solid as in midsummer, and, indeed, everything has been exceedingly favorable for an active campaign. The repulse of our army at Fredericks burg cast a gloom over us, as I suppose it did over you, and'some were ready to de spond, but already the skies begin to bright en, aud the new year opens with new hopes and bright prospects. Not the least among which are the formation of the uew State of West Virginia, and the prospect that I before the close of another year the cor ner stone of the Southern Confederacy? | American slavery?will be iti process of I dissolution. 1 am strengthened in my be j lief that such will be the result, from the | fact that the President has sigoed the bill for the former, and reiterated his procla | ination of September 22d, and designated I the States and parts of States upon which | it is to operate. May this baptism of. I blood, through which we are passing, have ] a tendency to purify and elevate us to the j most honorable position among the nations ' | of the earth I I A part of our regiment reached here, via ] Strasburg, on the 24th ultimo, and the re- | | mainder, via Romney, ou New Years day. i A rather exciting occurrence happened on | | the road between Moorfield and Koiuney. About six miles from the former place, as a | supply train wa3 pausing, about fifty rebel cavalry dashed down upon it and captured forty-nine horseB and harness, thirteen wagoner8,and three or four soldiers. There were no guards near the wagons, and the attack was made so suddenly that it was impossible for the wagoners to escape. Gen. Milroy was sent for, and soon appear ed. Oarlin's battery ?vas ordered to shell the woods, scouts were sent out, but all to no purpose; the rebels escaped with all their booty. The horses belong to citi zens of Taylor and Monongalia county, Va, aud Fayette county, Pa. i New Year's Day was one of the loveliest j of the season Strange contrast with the j scenes aroundl The streets of Winchester ' were not thronged by the gay and fashion- | able; the shops did not display the-inviting and attractive gifts usually seen on such a day. All is quiet, not a shop or storo is open, desolatiou and ruin are apparent in every direction. One thing struck me most forcibly, and that was, the large propor tion of ladies dressed in mourning. The words of the poet Burns, came foroibl}' to mind, "Man's Inhumanity to man, Makos countless thousand* mourn." There are many Uniou people here, and many have fled to the North. There are many who bold a neutral ground and who wish to see the war closed on almost any terms. The truth is, starvation is appa rent, as this valley, from Staunton to the Potomac, is stripped of everything neces sary to the support of man and beast.? Confederate scrip, of all kinds, is more plenty than good letter paper, and fabulous prices are paid for the necessaries of life ? The entrance of the Union troops, has had the effect of reducing the prices of many articles already. Hoping that a better state of things will soon be brought about, uot only here, but in all rebeldom, I remain yours, W. A. S. 12th reg't. Va. Vol. Inf. THE STAY LAW. Editorm InttUigenccr : Whereas, tue citizens of the county of Putnam have observed in the proceedings of the Legislature at Wheeling, that the Stay j Law has been extended to the 1st of Feb'y, i 1863, and in all probability will take up | that subject again before the said 1st of February, 1863, and extend it further. The loyal citizens of Putnam would sus tain heavy losses by any furtner extension of Baid law, as they have already done. The rebels of said county are smuggling their property largely and are taking off South large portions thereof. The loyalists think they wonld be great ly injured by any further extension, more especially in view of the Bankrupt Law which is agitated in Congress and may pass that body. In the collection of taxes, the first thing the peaple plead is the Stay Law, which prevents them from collecting their debts. Therefore the citizens are strongly opposed to any further extension of the aforesaid Stay Law. PurNAM. CHARTER ELECTiONT^ IVSS*, SrPKRINTBNDBN T ot the BKS^WATBH WOJ&KS.?Mean.
