Wc learn that Dr. Cox, a notorious nnd j miscbievious secessionist out at Went Lib- j erty, in this county, has got buck again, having been headed off at Parkersburg, . en route for Charleston, by a telegram sent ! by some of the Union men of hi* neigh borhood. While down in the vicinity of Parkersburg, and when be thought he was sure to get into Charleston among hid brother conspirators, he sent ns a letter, saying all the instilling things be could, cursing our paper just like all the traitors do, and swearing terrible vengeance against us wheu be got a chance. He dated his j letter at Charleston and pretended to .vrite to ui from there, and taunted us that des- | pits our warning to the people, be and his gang of pirates had got off. The Doctor, j however, as he has done before, canglit himself in a lie. ami now he can write to ug from West Liberty and date his letter from Charleston, if he wants 10. Since be got back, we are told, be has been fulminating all sorts of threats? '?ragging how soon Wise would be up Ibis w?y, and how, when he did get here, he would hang every member of the Legisla ture?the Governor and Council inclu* ded. He rides in and oat of West Lib erty hugely armed, and endeavors to im press bimselt terribly upon the minds of the Union men. He told u gentleman there the other day that he wonld gladly enlist five hundred men, if he could, to help wipe us all out. We have no doubt of it. Not a bit. The fact that this fellow goes at large, and is permitted to pratice bis threats and terrorism with impunity, shows to whnt bounds?what mistaken bounds in all like lihood, the Union men have extended their clemency. All that he, and those banded together with him In that nnd other 1 neighborhoods in the country around us, desire, is just a good opportunity to stealth ily attack Union men. The miscreants are only waitiug this chance, and this fellow Cox bousts that it will soon arrive. Tun Charleston Mercury docs not think so highly of the Knglisb nnd French gov ernments *? it did before the; decided tlmt they would not open their ports to priva teers, nnd it threatens those powers with ihe terrible wrath of the Southern Con iederacy. It recommends that iutcrcour.se with these nations be suspended, and that exports to those unfriendly countries be prohibited. Our blockade will assist them very materially in the execution of the last part of t'ue threat. The Mercury says: "Possibly England and France, as well as the United States, have yet something to learn of our power nod our statesman ship. The Confederate States can make themselves felt in every homestead in France and England ; nnd wc mistake the character of the statesmen who rule our councils if they do not use their power if necessary. They need, not beg?they can command the friendship of the great na tions of the world." Jtmti Q. Weil, ot Wetul. The speech of this gentleman, member of the House of Delegates, from Wetzel, pub lished in our paper yesterday, was the theme of nil pmi?e on the street*, and wherever else it was talked about. Such inen as Mr. West, so temperate, yet so bold and clear beaded in their political utter ances, are an honor to the times iu which we live. We look upon Mr. West as one of tbo most valuable men to the Lin tun cause that we have in Western Virginia.? It is a credit to the Union men of Wetzel that they selected bini ns their representa tive. lie administered a severe but a much de served rebuke to Arnold, of Lewis, whose speech stands iu discreditable contrast in the eyes Qf all true men, to that of all the other members who spoke. "The Category of I lie InAnlta." Did any body ever read a sentence like this: "The category of the Infinite, as nn idea of development, must be rejected, except so far as the golden chain which connects the throne of God with the Earth, bis foot stool." Tbii sentence Judge Thompson got off shortly after he got off that famous John Brown abolition speech at St. Clairsvillc, Ohio. Tl?e Cincinnati Papers. There are now no bettc r newspapers in the country than the Cincinnati Gazelle and Commercial. Tbey are gaining on the prestige of the Sew Vork Journals every day. Tbey deserve their success. A Judicial Question. A gentleman request* u? to ask Judge Thompson, that If "the cnlejory of the infinite, as an idea of development, most be rejected," what the d?I is to be done with It. _ Till Looisviiie Courier fays?"In all, three hundred and sixty thoniand troops (bas far bar* offered fbeir services to the Confederate States to engage In tbo war ?gainst Lincoln." j What SmcuIob would do among Fi had It a chance. The Cincinnati Commercial has a striking | and sensible article, showing what the consequences would be in that city and in all cities and towns along the border, and in the interior, for that matter, were the people to any considerable extent divide j on the war question. Part cf the comments are in reference to ! Jeff. Davis' programme when the rebellion I first commenced It says: He expected the North to be divided.? lie counted on his white niggers. So lie proposed tu burn a few Northern cities, and i talked of Southern harvests growing after ? the war, while the Northern cities that were 1 to be demolished could only be rebuilt l>r other generations. The unanimity of the people of the North prevented the capture I of Washington, and an advance upon Phila delphia and Cincinnati. Now, Davis hears the voice of thetories tor which he listened ax-bile in vain, (announcing meanwhile that he had never intended to take Washington.) and he begins todream againof nn invasion of the North. The tories of the Dai/von Em pire breed are inviting war within the bor ders of Ohio, and if the lie of the Ktnpirc, to which we called attention yesterday, were true, our cities would be in flames and nor fields deluged in blood, in le;3 than sixty days. It is the solidity of the North that has rolled the scenes of war far from its borders, so that no free State city or neighborhood lias yet heard Ue firing of n hostile gun. The sympathizers with secession among us, are directing their en ergies to bring the worst calamities of civ il war upon us. So long 115 the masses of the people stand firmly by the Government, u e glial! have peace at home. If the efforts of party wire-workers to make political capital out of the stormy elements around us, were responded to, we should have feuds in neighborhoods, and war to the knife in our streets. There is no security or hope for the preservation of life and property now, bnt in the unity of the peo ple in support of the Government. Those who would thrust partyism into the strife, and inflame the old animosities of party men, know not what they are doing, or are reckless of blood aud the devastations of the torch of the incendiary. We must support the Government iu its struggle with rebellion, or no citizen can long be snre bis properly is bis own, or that his homo is n place of refuge for his family. The rebellion of which Jeff. Davis is the head, must be crushed out, or the hurri cane of revolution will sweep throughout the land, and the Republic will perish in a deluge of blood and a tempest of fire.? The men who arc miserably aiding and comforting treason, for the sake of a par tisan and personal advantage which they deem possible, are inviting (thongh their darkened understanding may be incapable of the recognition of the fact) the horrors of a revolution as terrific as that of France I.et all parties go to the wall. The peo ple have abandoned party. Leaders. He publicans and Democrats. rnu?t abandon it and follow the people. We have faith in the people. They arose in their majesty when war was commenced in Charleston harbor by order of tho Montgomery trait ors. They will rise again and again, and inrn and overturn, until the politicians who have long believed themselves '-lead ers," will learn their mistake, and uutil peace will compatible with the honor of the nation. \ RatlouulCelebratlonof the Fourth. The Wellsburg Ileratd of yesterday gives an interesting account of a happy cele bration of the Fourth of July at the grove, near Well's School Honse in that eonnty.? The "cream" of Brooke county, the Herald says was there?thai is the Union people? while '-the skim milk, or secession class had a gathering of their own somewhere on Cross Creek; and cither betook them selves there, or employed themselves in haymaking and curbing the 4th of July.? Very few specimens were to be seen at Wells' School Honse, and the few that were discovered had an uncomfortable look. The exercises consisted as follows : Prayer by the Rev. David Hervey ; read ing of the Declaration of Independence by Sir. M L. Hill, and Flag Presentation to the '? Liberty Ilall " Home Guards. The Stars and Stripes were presented by Miss Emma Bane, in bebalt of the ladies, with a verv neat and pertinent uddress. Besides these exercises, there was a display by the Wellsburg Home Guards nnd one of the fire companies, and the whole celebration wound up with patriotic addresses from Prof. Ross and D. M. Kdgington. Esq., of West Liberty. The following resolutions crowned the enjoyment of the day : Itetolved, That this meeting heartily en dorse the action of the Wheeling Conven tion in reconstruction of the government of the Commonwealth, and pledge to the organized government their most hearty support. I.'etolred, That it is the duty of all Union men in Virginia to rally to the support of this reorganized government, as the surest menns of retaining Virginia within the Union, and restoring her to her ancient prestige in the Confederacy. Resolved, That this meeting most hearti ly respond to the masterly address of the Wheeling Convention, and regard it as a caltn, dignified and statesman-like exposi tion of the wrongs of Western Virginia, and an unanswerable vindication of their action. (In motion of Montgomery Walker, Rcolved, That the foregoing resolutions be published in the Wellsburg Herald and Wheeling Intelligencer. A gentleman lately arrived at New York from the South, who is accurate knowl edge of the condition of things, says that even in Alabama there is tut a hare ma jority now for secession, and there are counties in the Northern part of the State where it is not even safe to talk secession. ; ne is confident that Mississippi is still for ! the Union, though dragooned into seces [ sion.and Arkansas is anything but unani mous for secession. He says the great j strength of the rebels lies in their beliel ; that Northern men are cowards nnd will not fight. The first great victory of the Government, he thinks, will dispel this il lusion and cause a quick collapse of the whole secespion movement. Tb? Explanation. Judge Thompson says in his pamphlet that he "has fifty-five years of practical experience nnd knowledge of the humnr heart nnd human affairs." This wouli! make him at a reasonable calculntior nbont eight/ years of age. And it is no wonder that his dotage bfli come. No won der he cant spell or writo a sentence cor rectly any mure.

Mr. Vance called up the resolution that ' he offered yesterday, in reference to an ad journment, fixing the time lor Thursday next. Mr. Bokkman opposed the adoption of the resolution. He did not thiuk they had Riifficientlv matured their business to : know when they could adjourn. Mr. Smith hoped the resolution would not prevail. He was as desirous us any one of getting through with the busines - and goine home, but he thought it would be impossible to get through by the time mentioned. Mr. Vance said he offered the resolution for the purpose of hurrying up business by fixing a lime by which it shonldbe complet ed If they staj-ed thereso long they would be likely to do a good deal more legislat ing than was necessary or desirable. He thought they should doas little legislating as possible, or as would meet the require ments of the times. The resolution was rejected. Mr. Arnold called up the resolution of fered ou Wednesday by thegentleman from Harrison, instructing our representatives" and Senators to vote against the resolu tion offered in the House of Representa tives by Mr. Lovejuy, of III., favoring the repeal of the Fugi'.ive Slave Law, and against all others of like object. [A lengthy and spirited discussion fol lowed, in which Messrs. Boremau, Vance, Arnold, Ruffoer, Miner, Porter, Smith, Lo gan nnd Farnsworth participated.

The House then adjourned. [For the Wheeling Intclllgencer.) From Marlon Comity. Kaihmont, Ya., Julp 13, 18G1. Gov, 1'ifrpoiii/ : L>kab Slit:?It is currently reported and generally believed that small parties of secessionists are banded together, armed . and equipped, in different sections of Marion county, for the purpose of carry ing on n system of guerrilla warfare against the persons and property of the loyal nnd peaceable citizens thereof. Threats are constantly being made upon public and j private property, and the (ears and anxie- . ties of the military nnd our citizens are , thus continually excited. I ask you, sir, i how long this conduct is to be endured without employing any edequate nnd law- i ful means to suppress it. Is not loyalty j to he respected and protectfd ? and is not treason to be crushed and punished ? Cer- i tainly the time has come when there ?bonld be a wide and manifest distinction made, ! in a civil and military point of view, between citizens who are struggling to respect and maintain the laws and organized govern- j ment of our State, and of the United ' States, and those who are combined for } revolutionary resistance to the constituted ; authorities and the laws of the land. Are not the former class worthy of the protec tion of the lawsand are not the latter class proper subjects upon which to era ploy military force and constitutional law? And if so, why is it not done without de lay? If takeu in hand now, these armed enemies of constitutional liberty may be crushed out without bloodshed, but if left i alone much longer, the task of suppress- j ing theui may be attended with some ditfi- . ty ; and it may be that procrastination will only tend to cause their lives to pay the price of their treason. This result should i Ko urniilnil if Thev should be routed at once, disarmed and dealt with according to such laws as they have al ready violated. All persons who disclaim j their allegiace to the United States, its laws and institutions, as these traitors have done, should he bunted up, arrested and made to suiTer the consequences of their conduct. They should be held up to the world in the light of open and dan gerous enemies to their country. All such persons should be immediately dis armed. I should, perhaps, add before closing this note, that there are some secessionists i in our county who have acted the part of Rood citizens since the advance of the Federal army into Western Virginia, and they have not been harmed in any shape or form. They found the Federal army to be j American citizens, and they were satisfied. ' Why cannot all do so ? It is their right,; their privilege, and their duty to do so. Appealing to your superior judgment, I j leave the case to which 1 have referred, in ; your hands. Yours truly, Loyal Citizkx. A Fanatic Served Iltght. On Monday last, as we have already noted in telegraph, Lovejoy of Illinois, of fered the following resolutions: Retolved, That in the judgment of this House, it is no part of the duty of the sol diers of the United States to capture or return Fugitive slaves. Ketnlved, That the Committee on the Ju diciary be instructed to inquire into the ex pediency of repealing the law commonly called the Fugitive Slave Law. Whereat, Major Emory, of the United States Army, resigned his commission un der circumstances showing sympathy with rebellion against the Government, there lore, Re?o!ved. That his restoration to the ser vice was improper and unjustifiable, and that this House, in the name of the peo ple, demand of the Execntive his immedi ate removal. After debate the resolutions were laid on the table?87 to C2. The prompt disposition made of this firebrand is satisfactory. However objee- J tionable the provisions of the fugitive slave law may be, some law for the rendi tion of fugitives is demanded by the Con stitution we are striving to defend. The unpleasant features in that instrument are as much obligatory upon us as its uoblest provision?, and it would trouble Lovejoy to show that even the present, fugitive slave law is doing, or can do, any great harm at present, lint the repeal of the law, or even the discussion of its repeal in Congress, would furnish to the traitors in the Border States ju3t the argument they need?the violation by Republicans of Constitutional obligations. It is hardly worth while to put such a weapon into the hands of secession. A female military company named tlie Union Captivators has been formed at Fal mouth, Ky., and over thirty of the young ladies of the place have joined the organi zation. The uniform is an apron of the old fashion cut, made of red while and1 blue?that part covering the bosom repre senting the stars." The Boston Post comments on the above statemeut, and thinks that, considering the position of the stars, the young fellows in Falmouth will spend a good deal of time in the study of astronomy.

FROM GRAKTOX. 'Corre#poii'teuce ?f thw IntrHigoucrr.] Grafton Holsk, Gkaftox, \ July 12, 1801. ) Nothing yet from Laurel llill tliat con bp relied upon. Madame ruoior lias it tbiscvening that the enemy proposed terms of surrender, and thai the General com manding the Federal army would not con sent. except it was unconditional. Trave lers arc 11 jt permitted, or at least will nut have the protection of the military, who go in :t Laurel Hill direction how, except they are on business connected with the army and that accounts tor your corres pondent being still at this point. The funeral of Henry II. Hales, a private in Capt. Ktihn's company, whose death I noticed yesterday, coine o!f this morning at S o'clock. The three companies of the first Virginia regiment, stationed here, at tended the remaius to their last resting place. At half past 5 the men formed in front ot the hospital. The remains of poor Hales were then brought out followed by a squad of Rough and Readies, under arras who acted as nil escort of honor, the bal ance of the men having side arms only.? The procession then moved slowly to the plaltorm where] a train of cars was in waiting for Fettcrman, the place of in terment. Sergeant Craig had charge.? The commissioned officers of the three companies named. Quartermaster Pum phrev, his assistant. Doctor Carr, and Captain Hall of Gen. Hill's staff, together with a host of citizens, among whom was your correspondent, occupied the rear.? Arriving atl'cttermann, the procession was again formed and moved quietly to the shady spot east of the town, where now sleeps the lemains of him who but two short months ago crossed the Ohio in the prime of life, to help us do battle on this side for a Constitutional Union. At the grove the procession halted and opened ranks, the commissioned officers, Doctor Carr, and Rev. Freeman, Chaplin of the Ohio 8th, passing through to the front. In a short lime the corpse was lowered, and the services for the dead, according to the forms of the Episcopal Church were com menced and gone through in a very soletnn and impressive manner. All looked grave and serious, and many no doubt heaved a sigh as the thought passed through their minds, that ere this campaign be ended, they loo wonld be summoned to that grand parade in the presence of that Commander before whom all must yet appear. The services are over, the grave is closed, the Rough and Ready escort fire a volley, re cover arms, then the commissioned officers, ka., proueed down to the rear, the ranks are closed, and the procession by counter march proceed to the cars and are off for Grafton, and that is the last of the poor patriot soldier, Henry II. Hales. This morning the news from Laurel Hill is not of a particularly important nor exciting character A lieutenant in Ihe rebel army at that point has just arrived here a prisoner of war. He reports the rebel army at eight thousand strong, and well equipped, and provided for about one j week ahead, Willi a Mir supply ot cannon well placed. Ho says lio expected to tie put to death immediately oti entering our camp, and that the soldiers and subaltern officers of the enemy have all, got the same impression. The soldiers from Virginia, and especially those from the western por tion of it, are not allowed to mis or talk with those from the cotton States : in fact, he says they arc watched as closcly as if ihey were prisoners. Gen. Morris is now in a splendid posi tion, and can do the enetny great harm with shot and shell, without exposing his torce to any serious dang-r. There will no doubt be a battle in a very short time, and, from the way Gen. McClellan is going about it, it will be short and decisive The weather is cool and pleasant, and our boys at thi.s point cap a pie for any emergency. I forot to in*? ition that G *n. M ?rrM bu ried twenty of the enemy in his camp on last Monday. They were killed in the en counter an account of which I furnished, yon a few days ago, ITarry. How a Traitor treats his Mother.? A correspondent of the New York Tribunr. writing from New Lisbon, 0., relates the following, to show the character of the no torious Vallandigham, who disgraces a loyal constituency by sympathizing with the rebels. This notorious Vallandigham has a poor old mother, well stricken in year?, who daily realizes. '-(low *hnrp?r than a serpent's tooth It Is To liave a thanklc&t chil'l." This worthy old lady is a respected member of the Presbyterian Church, in Dnvton, and, although the mother of an honorable member of Congress?a man very well off in worldly property, be sides his 83,000 a year and mileage?she is literally left to the care of the pat-wit. At the last meeting of the Xew Lisbon Pres bytery, on the motion of Rev. O. M. Todd, relief was granted to Mrs. Vnlhiudigham ?by vote of the body. And for several years past she has been regularly relieved in the same manner. The congregation of the church of which she is a member have also, from time to time, furnished the means of support, without which she must have suffered the last degradation of vir tuous poverty?the poor house. From these facts your readers can judge how lit tle of manlj truth and conscientious scru ple stood in the path that led Vallandig ham to the camp of his country's enemies. The man who thus ncglects a helpless mother, would very naturally incline to the side of thief and treason. FOR THE HARVEST OF 1861.
