Saturday Morning. July 13,1881.
Otel guard ear and keep whtttr
Each u bright aa now tLr j wave.
Still Qiika It iod vnr ruki io war,
^CHI above ?>weli patriot'* Krure,
lMath to tbr traitor that would dare

Arrived Back Again.
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 said he offered the resolution
for the purpose of hurrying up business by
fixing a lime by which it shonldbe complet

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

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.

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.
TO 3?* A R-M BUS
\rOGR ATTENTION IS INVITED TO MY STOCK
X of Harvesting Implements for the coming Har
vest. I havo the sole Agency for the justly celebrat
ed Buckey Mo aer Si Hkaper for twelve counties in
Virginia. This machine stands unrivalled among
Harvesters. It is the most convenient mnchine to
operate th.it is made; is so simple in its construction
that any farmer can set it tip and work it. Anu it Is
very stro.xo and durai.lk. I n short it has proved
itself to be the best Harvester in use. And as an
evidence of this?It is a Fact that all the late pat
ented machines have copied it as nearly a* ootiltl be
done, without infringing the patent. And the better
proof of all is. thai it has never faile.l to give entire
satisfaction when tried. The manufacturers are now
miking two sizes of this machine. either of which is
fully warranted to be all that is claimed for them,
tint is. thai they arc unequalled. And to Farmers
who want the BtaT M lCUXJfE ix use. we say buy the
Buckove.
I tun also the Agent lor the HUBBARD LIGHT
MOWKK, which is sold at the low price of $76 and
?o0. This Mower is undoubtedly the best mowcb
made r<>R me prick. It Ib much better built, is
stronger And more datable than any other mower
that competes with it in price. It is of very light draft,
ha? two driving wheels, aud draws from the centre,
and is warranted to give entire satisfaction. As a
number of persons were disappointed in getting ma
chines late in the season of la.-t year, we request per
sons who waut eithar ot the above machines to tend
their orders soon.sothev may be certain to get them
this year. My stock of the smaller Harvest Imple
ments, such as Grain and Grass "Scythes, Grain-Cra
dle.-. Snaths, Sickles, I takes, Ac^.Vi- , is complete, mul
1 will sell them low. Give me ? call nt the Seed and
Implement Depot, corner Main and Quiucey street*.
