To the Lceislature of Wejl Va.
GsMLKxtx: ? Many things #ro Dow
engaging your attention. The people
ore expecting much at your hands; jidiI
they are confidently waiting for yoa^io
throw off nil the old influences wwiph
bore hitherto held themselves to a peo
ple which were in no way of them. It
seemed to be the policy of their recent
masters bf the East, to keep tlio people
of the West in ignorance,?all the en
actments of Richmond bear the impress
of this policy. Unlike a government
seeking the enlightenment ol its people,
it withheld from them important knowl
edge, the laws by which they were to
be governed.
West Virginia to day wants and do
mands of jou the rcverso of all this.? ?
The u oh oily rebellion now rasing in the
land, has opened the eyes of her people.
While they trusted to their leaders their ,
all, ruin lias come upon them. Now,
tboy will improve ly the terrible lesson,1
and instead of their officers being their j
masters, they will be held as the servants
of the people. The people will know
wha their servants are, and what they
ore doing, and how they do. They want
to know of you gentlemen of the Legis
lature, what you are doing?they want
the laws you make published to them,
that they may see and know and Judge.
In behalf of the pcnplo, therefore, we
ask you to have all the laws published
in the loyalnewspapers of the Stale.
The Laws Again.
Why it is thero is so much hostility,
in the House of Delegates, to llio publi
cation of thu laws passed by our Legis
lature, in the loyal newspapers of the
State, is really a mystery lo us. They
certainly do not desire to oppose the
wishes and interests of their constitu
ents; vc it would seem so, when it ii
known that they refused to tako up the
Senate's resolution to appoint a commit-,
tee composed of the members of both
Houses, lo determine the propriety of!
having the laws published as above.?
They cancortainly nut be deterred from '
the passage of such an act on account of j
the i.eptnte of publication, for it will not j
require fine cenli from each tax payer to
delrav the entire expun^o of publication.
Who is there in West Va. who would
not give at least five times that amount
to have our lows published? But, may
be, they are like Carlde was on this
subject when he was a member of the
Wheeling Convention. He opposed the
publication of the laws on thu ground
that it would create a 'newspaper specu j
lationl' Hut, mark his course; As
soon as he became U. S. Senator, the j
first thing he did was to establish ?> j
uewspnper at Clarksburg, and the next
st.-p he takes it to stcure the publication J
of the United States laws ? matter cer
tainly more foreign to the interests of.
West Virginia than their own local
laws. Hut, then, Carlilc hod concluded
to go into the 'Speculation!' Now, gen-1
tlenien delegates, oro you going to fol-1
low in (he footstep of this illustrious in |
dividual? Ifso.wohave nothing more
to soy. But, really, gentlemen, 'show J
your bond,' that your constituents may
know what you are after. They aro in- j
terested in this matter.?[Ritchie l'ress
XfTNearly three hundred refugee ;
Tennesseeans arrived at Lexington on
Wednesday, under charge of Col. Line,
after a terrible journey of nearly two
weeks in the mountains. In Powell's
Valley a large rebel foree of cavalry at
tacked them, and though but a part of,
the fugitives were armed,' they rushed
upon their assailants with e yell, and,
cutting a passage through them com
pelled them to retreat. The rebels how
ever, corrieu off sixty or severity of the
T?nncssenns os prisoners, who were loo
tnuoh exhausted by fatigue and hunger
lo make any resistance. On Tuesday
another largo body of those sorely afll c
ted Union-loving martyrs reached Lex
ington, and they nre coming in contin i
uolly. They are entirely destitute, with
bare bends and feet. Old men with sil
ver hair, and boys with the curly flaxen
locks of youth, ore among them, all hav

&3T Doctor Trumbull, of Liverpool,
stales that the sulphate of nnilino is a

The Disaffection in Noutb-Caroliua.
The Rileigh {N. C.) Slnndurd of ibe
2-lth ult., has a severe article in reply to
0110 attackingTh tlje Richmond Ennui
rer, tn which the latter said that if the
Standard represented "tho opinion of its
state, then the state ought to (to out of
the Confederacy and m*kc submission
on J13,own account," To ibis the editor
of the Standard replies, that tho views
of his paper in favor of peace "are those
of at least two thirds of the people of
P>orlh Carolina ' and, by way of reply
to the suggestion that tho state ought to
quit the Confederacy, (toes on lo say:
'huppose this slate, thus invited to
ff? ?u'> had not gone in, where would
the Confederacy have been to-Jny??
Whoro would tho cotton states have
been? Where would Virginia have
Been? Ovetrun and trampled down.?
Hichmonri would have been long since ;
in the ban Is of tho enemy, and tho stales
south of us would have boen occupied
at every point and their people crushed '
into the earth. North Carolina troops
saved Richmond when assailed by Mo
Clellan; they won the battle of Chan,
collorsville; and daring the recent move
ment on Pennsylvania they defended
nichmond under Gen. Hill. Our poo
pie and troop3 Lave done more for vir
ginia and the cotton 'Statos than they
huvo done for themselves. And now, be
cause they do not act in such a wny as
to please the Richmond Enquirer in all
respects, they are invited to take them
selves out of the Confederacy! They
will do so if they please, in their own
Rood timo. They will not ba hurried
nor retarded by thoir enemies."
1 he Standard concludes its article?
which has some significance from tho
apparent consciousness of popular sym
pathy which characterizes it?with the
following remarkable language:
? Does not our critic know that in tho
event of being overrun and conquered
by tho enemy, reconstruction would
bo impossible? JWlic not know that
Mr. Lincoln would soy. "Oenilemen,
you cannot reconstruct (hat wlrioh you
have not destroyed. Indeed you Inve
never been out of tho Union. You
thought you were, bu; you wuro mista
ken. Resume your duties as members
of the Union, on a fooling with the most
favored Stales? Wo lell him that we
have been, and still are, devoled lo the
cause of independence;?but, at we sla
te I in an article on the subject of peace,
we fear I hut the chances arc against us.
We did not make those chanous and
we ennno^change them. We'are ties
pondent. but we arc not in despair. Wo
lell (he people llio truth, and for this we
are censured. We should feel the hu
miliation of a restoration to the old gov.
ernment at profoundly and acutely as
tho editor of the Register; but if the
people of this Stale, with subjugation or
restoration staring them in the face as
alternatives, should sidly and reluctant
ly accept the latter, it would not bo in
our power lo prevent it, even if wo
would."
Attempt by Butternuts to A**u*innle
Cnpt. (Jeer.
The Springfield (0.) Republican fur
nishes some additional details concern
ing the cowardly attack on Rev. Capt.
Geer in Delaware counly, ou Sunday
1 >st:
On last Sabbath, at three o'clock P
N ' He*- Captain J J' Ge"' ?f 'he M.
I. Church, preached at tho 'Fulton Creek
Meeting House,' in the edge of Dela
ware county, for a brother minister of
the same Church, Rev. T. B. Graham.
It was expected llut some disturbance
would occur, as the Butternuts of the
neighborhood had notified Mr. Graham
by letter that he ''could not preach at
that place any more;" ond to prevent
violence, quite a number of Union men
from the vicinity of Rich wood accompa
nied the two ministers to their place of
appointment. A large concourse ofpeo
pie were assembled, among whom were a
number of persons wearing emblems of
disloyalty.
After the services, as Captain Geer
stopped from the door of tho house, he
met a man having on one of theso em
blems.and stopped to ask what ho meant
by wearing it. Without answering the
question, (he Butternut withdrew in tho
crowd, and at that moment another ad
vanced with a knife and slruck n blow at
the Caplain, which was evidently iuten -
ded to enter his neck, but he parried it
in part, nnd the knife entered his face
within an inch of his eye, Captain Geer
then knooked the fellow down, and pro
ceeded forcibly to punish him, when a
third Butternut stabbed the Capt. badlv
with a bowie knife. Tho blow was
aimed al tho heart, but the ruffian's
stroke being misdirected by tho josllioc
of the people, it took effeot on the inside
of tho arm, immediately below the axilla
making a gash to tho bone, ond about
three Inchon in length. Tho villian who
inllictcd ibis wound, immediately flod
and jot out of tho crowd.
Wounded as ho was, however, tho
Captain "saved" his first man, who, af
ter being knotted down lovernl times,
Wat at length overpowered and laken to
the Delaware Jail, The other ossassin
was captured next day, (Monday,) and

A lost Lender.
Tboso who hare been so loud in do.,
daring, lince the inv??ion of Pennsyl
vania, that the only hnpo for the country 1
i ley in the recall of General McClellKii
to thecommsnd ol tho Army of the I'o
moo would remember jhat it will bo
very hud for the people to believe that
the national salvation depends this week
upon on officer whose natno was choerod
with that of Jeff. Davis, by b mooting
which insisted that we were "whipped,"
and tljgt we must bave peaoe at any
price.
Nor will tho popular confidenco in that
commander bo stimulated by tho fact
that the Common Council of New York;
a bods celebrated neither for uncondi
tional patriotism nor for unswerving >
hono&y, wk for his re-appointment by
a resqflution, staled to havo been propa
rc<1 by a Mr. Kerrigan, who before ihe
rebellion was declared, in raising tj-oopi
apparently to aid it, nnd who afterward,
having obtained n command in our army,
was c^urt-martialed and cashiered.
Nehhcr, as we have heretofore said,
ran Oljaneral MoOlellan himself bo sur
prised by the apathy to ward him of all
earnest loyal men, when he reflects that,
at sit Copperhead Conventions Ilia
name is hailed with tho loudest ap
plnuso, and that all tho copperhead pa
pers and orslors, who are doing their
utmost to paralyze the Administration
ond secure the success of tho rebellion,
constantly commend him and his servi
ccs
Certainly it was enough to destroy all
faith in the loyalty of Vullondigham that
his name was mentioned in the rebel
section with admiration. But docs nny
loyal man feel that there is any loss pol
lution in tho applause of Fernando
oodfs faction than in that of JefTetson
Davis? Whoever coiisonta without pro
test to bo commended by rebols, or by
masked sympathizers with rebellion, vol
untarily shares the odium ofthe company
be allows to praiso him.
Ooneral M'Clellar. must see that every
loyal man necessarily asks himself, 'Why
do thejopen enemies of the war praise
?McCWlnn? They do not praiso Grant
n6r Eosecrans, nor Dupont, nor Foot,
nor-Dij, nor Fremont, nor Barnsido,
nor Schofield, nor Butler, nor S'ircI, nor

Oou*Vnof- Banks, -nor Farragut. An 1
why not? These men aro not called up
on to protest?ond why not? Their
fame is unsullied by tho applause of
Cox, Vallandigham, Rynders and Com
pany, the men who aro to be satisfied by
tho nppointmont of a commander of the
national forces in a perilous crisis? Is it
not tho clear duty of the Government to
nsecrtnin who would bo most agreoable
to the Copperheads and then avoid him
with energy?
A Dead nnd Hurled Soldier Turns up
Alive.
The Detroit Tribune of tho 1 Jth inst.,
narrates the following story:
"A catc of mistaken identity has been
brought to our notice, tho result of
which has crcated o thrill of joy toon af
flicted mother, and at the same lime
shows how easily it is for one to be
mistaken. In March last Mrs. Julia Es
mond, of Parma, Jackson county, in
this state, received a letter from Cap
tain Soule, of Company I, Sixth Michi
gan Infantry, announcing tho death of
her son, EJwaid V. Esmond. The let
ter adds:
"The Surgeon informs mo that he was
buried in a beautiful spot by a kind
old lady and her daughter, the grave
covered with evergroena and a nice
head hoard bearing his nome, age and |
resiilonco, together with the regiment
and company." i
"Young Esmond, the identical fellow
alluded to in his letter as having been
burikd, arrived in Detroit a low dayi
ago, and reported for duty at the bar
racks."
"As soon as Mrs. Hsmond received
tho letter announcing tho death of her
son she sent it to Captain Robinson,
commanding at tho barracks, with tho
solicitation that he ahould make the ne
necessary inquiry into the case, and, if
possiblo, aid her in obtaining his remains
&o. Captain Kobinson broko the soal,
adjusted his spectacles, and read the let
ter. While engaged in reading a young
man--apparently o strangor?walked
up to him, and with hat in hand await
ed his leisure. Aa soon as ho had com
ploted reading the letter thoyoung man
accosted him with "are you tho com.
inandor ol this post?" "I am," said the
captain. "Then I wish to report for du
ty,'' said the atrangor- "I em from tho
Sixth Michigan, and having just thii
moment arrived from ray rogimont, I do
sire to bo sent back ns soon as you may
have a detachment of men roady to go
thero." Upon beini osked his name no
told it. Tho Captain informed him of
-the contents of tho letter which ho belli
in his hand. Thoyoung man assured
the captain that ho was the identical
Edward V. Esmond, and desired n pass
to visit his mother. Tho uttcesaary doc.
umenls wore of courao granted, nnd he
departed for his home. The story, as
stated by him, is that he was engageojin
a skirmish,but having got lopatatod ftom
his regiment lie wnndered about in ihe
marshes for some days, o rebel force
cutting lilin off from rejoinin g his com -1
rades. Aftor remaining out some limo

This he did, too, boforo ho vi?itod his
mother.
A niiantic Nwiudte.
One of the boldest and most unscru
pulotis swindles over perpetrated in this
city, was consuinatod on Thursday last. I
1 lie facts in tho case are as follows: |
About two weeks ago n genteel look- i
ing lady, calling herself Mrs. S. E. West,
claiming to resido in Sandusky Ohio,
enme to this city and introduced horself'
to Samnel A. Sargent, Esq., Heal Estate
Agent, doing buftincRsjit Room No. 4 in
Metropolitan llull Rlock, ami oxprowd
a desire to invest to a considerable extent
in oily property. Mr. Sargent deeming
himself fortunate in obtaining a custom
er of so heavy a caliber, placed himself
at her servico, and proceeded, with nil
requisite attention to show her such eli
gible roal estate as ho controlled. Lots
on the west and south sides woro shown
her, and terms of side statad. Among
other properly which sho desired to pur
chase, was one for manufacturing pur
poses, for her brolhor. This was select
ed on Stato atreet, at the price of |3,.
fiOO. A boautiful resiilonco lot, 0110
hundred nnd fifty feet fqunre. at tho
corner of Michigan avenue and Ringgold
place, was also solected and bnrgainod
for, at the prioo of t?.500, and die of
fered 93,'IJiJ for another valuable lot in
the South Division. The bargain for
these lots were dosod so far that nb
(tracts of title for them were obtnined,
and these abstracts wero plnccd by her
in tho hands of Mr. Heed, of tho lav
firm of Iinox, Euataco & Heed, of this
cjty, lor. examination, to whom, also, tho
circumstances of the purchase wero rela
ted. She olso informed Mr. lloed that,
in order to make the first pajtnonls on
the property, it was necessary that alio
should get a draft cashed, and, an she
was a stranger here, that alio would liko
to be introduced at the bnnker'i by some
responsible nnd well known person.?
I'or this purpose Mr. Reod uccompnniod
her to tho "Merchant's Havings, Loan
and Trust Company's oflico, on tho cor
ner of Lake and Dearborn streets, whoro
slto presented a draft by an Eastern
band upon another in Now York city, for
the sum of {(15,000. Sho also stated
that as she ncedod but 11,000 at the time
she would leave the balance of tho mo
ney on depmit. This apparent fairneis
and tho factofMr. Rood identifying her,
had tlio desired pfToct, and alio received
the amount named, nnd tho neoensnry
receipt for ?4,000 left on doposit. Since
that limo sho hat not been soon or. heard
from.
After duo course of limo, it has been
ascertained that the draft in question
was originnlly drawn for the pitiful sum
of fifieon dollars, and raised to 815,000
by the simple addition of tlireo ciphers.
A gentleman well acquainted in San
dusky, when informed of the transaction
"luted that the name of West, given by
the woman, was evidently an assumed
ono, as the families of that name in San
dusky are well known and highly res
pected?[Chicago Journal. I
Tlic Death of Vnnccy.
Tho death of that arch-plotter of this
turrible Southern rebellion, William L.
Vancey, is deplorod among tho rebel
journals as involving the loss of a saint,
who ombodied in himselfalmost, if not
quite, all the talents and all the virtues
of all tho great men of ancient and mod
ern times. But justice to other dead
men, even as rebels, requires (hat Yan
cey, in his truo merits,should be hnrded
over to in admiring posterity. Ho was
nothing more than a restless, plotting
revolutionist, a noisy fire-eater, an elo
quent blatherskite, always in hot water,
and nover satisfied to let well enough
alone in anything. With his docease u
great bng of wind has collapsed, and
nothing more.?[N. Y. Herald.
SThe troops detaohed from tho

it-irTho Andaman lalands must afford
groat attractions to those disponed to

on thai region says that 'both sexes have

overy Evening, to protect them against

About lubitltuteit.
As in oil probability the dreft ifiU

?Since the draft was bosun aubatiluta
broken hnvo sprung up like fungi on a
rotlen stump. Thoir advertisement!

of such papors as circulate among the
class likely to bo open lo speculation.?
Tlio brokers cliargo from 8200 to 8450
for a man. The fact is that the pooplo <(
who go tho brokors act unwisely. Tlia .
placo to apply for substitutes is at the
oflico of the Provost Marshal. In every
district large numbers of moo hove ap
plied for chances m substitute them
selves for drafted man. Instead of go
ing to tho brokers, many of whom od

ply, application should bo made lo tho
Provost Marshal. At Broad and Spring

the thing. Wo saw its oporation. Mon

While somo wore filtering claims for
exemption, others wnro negotiating for
substitutes. About JlfiO was the aver

to inquiro,
"Substitutes" aro coming into the et'ty
very largely from other places. They
como bjr do/ens on coasting vessels from

they aro likely to desert in the sam*
manner. The third class hotels sll a
bout the oity aro full of adventurers,
willing to lake a bonus of 9300 by assu
