AU honest Lsort* its lot will share %.nd follow it to Death or Fia?. B'Ulih Mistakes about tl*e Procla mation. Among the American diplomatic papers in the British "Riue B.ok,'' jast printed, is a note from Eari Raise! (the British foreign minister) to Lord Lyons, dated January l,tb, which is remarkable for a misapprehension of the nature of the Pres ident's proclamation and the reasocs for it, so complete and inexcusable as to make it appear like a perverse misrepresentation of the measare. Eiil Rassell begins by declaring the proclamation "of a very strange nature," and be proceeds to show in what respects be considers it strange. It professes, he says, to emancipate tba (lares where the United States has no ju risdiction and can exercise no authority, but leaves the negroes still slaves in the districts occupied by federal troops, where emancipation might be carried into effect The minister must have got this idea from hostile criticisms of the proclamation. If he had read the document be would bave s-eo tuat it taakes no such distinction. It declares emancipation in the Slates and parts of States that had persisted ii^rebel lion up to the first of January, and exempts the States and part of States where the au thority of the Government had been re-es tablisbed nod acknowledged, at least nom inally. Earl Russet proceeds further to criticise:? ' There seems to be no declaration of a principle adverse to slavery in this procla mation. It is a mia a:/ of war, and a measure of war of a very questionable kind. As President Lincoln has twice appealed to the judgment of mankind in his pr.,clama. tion, I venture to say I do not think it can or ought to satisfy the frieods 01 abolition who look tor total and impartial freedom for the slave, and not for vengeance on the aiare owaer." This is a dishonest and piltry trick of w>rds, and discourteous at that. "Ven g-aoce on the slave owner" i3 neither ex pressed nor implied in tbe proclamation, as E?rl Russel should bave known. Nor was it the cbject of tbe proclamation "to satisfy the friends of abolition." The pro cUumuoo was not issued by the President of the abolition society but by the Presi dent of the Doited States, as Commander in Chief of tbe army. It was a war measure, aud tbere was no occasion to declare in it principles adverse to slave ry. Any such declaration would have put tbe measure upon a false and indefensible basis; and exposed it to real objection. A single hour of honest study of the relations of our State and .National governments wonld show Earl Russel that tbe general government ba3 no control of slavery, and that it wonld be a usurpation for tbe Pres ident to touch it except by act of war and for military reasons. It follows or course that be cannot abolish slavery in a loyal district or State, unless he can make it ap pear that its destruction there is needful to the success of bis armies in the insurgent seciion. The most clamorous abolitionist has never undertaken to show this. It is provoking to seo such entire rnisre presentation of onr affairs from the author ized mouthpiece of the British government. Did Earl Russell write this note for effect at home? And was it his aim merely to neutralize the rising sympathy with onr cause produced by the emancipation measure? It looks like it. And it shows that tbe highest members of the British above the sma" ^ tl,TV0,l,iCe by ,he"^i?apoli3 Journal that the Lmon farmers residing in tbe vi cintty of that patriotic city, recently turned out in a body and brought in wi'th their teams one hundred cords of wood, which they distributed to the wires and children of the soldiers who arc in the field fightine for the Government. It was made a Ri|, day, tbe procession of farmers and their Uemiu??yB CSC?rted ,hroa*h ,he by At Oentreville, Indiana, a similar pro cession of generous farmers brought in S3 cords of wood and a large amount of other articles, for the soldiers' families. The glorious farmers of Wayne county Indiana, have, however taken the lead in contributing of their abundance to the comfort of th? wires and children of absent volunteers. They came into Richmond in five long processions, with banners and music, bringing 450 cords of wood, 15 000 ponnds of Hour acd meal, and larKe amounts of potatoes, turnips, chickens. lTberal' H^s *? b?aor' *?

Tins work of consolidating decimated regiments has been commenced in tbe armjr of the Rappahannock. j* - A^parcet'"t>f correspondence between j James M. Mason and E*rl Russell has jast been published. It is very heavy reading, j We bate waded through it. and find that , Mason has been boring the British Secreta ry of Foreign Affairs with stories of the in- , efficiency of tbe blockade, and of the power , | of the South to sustain itself, and that the British Secretary bas burdened his heart and stiffened bis neck against conviction. Mason undertook, as all such beef cattle always do, to argue tbe right of secession. Rus-eil couldn't see it. He did not pre sume to decide on that point. July 24th, Mr. Mason addressed Earl Russell thus: "Mr. M*son presents bis compliments to Eirl Russell, and, if agreeable to bis lord ship, Mr. Mason would be obliged If Barl Russell would allow him the honor of an interview, at inch lime as may be conveni ent to bis lordship. 4*Mr. Mason declines to submit to Barl Russell some views connected with the subject of the letter be Las the honor to transmit herewith, which be thinks may be better imparted in a brief conversa tion." : July 31. Russell presented bis compli ments to Mr. Mason, and said : ?'Earl Russell does not tbiok any advan tage would arise from the personal inter view which Mr. Mason proposes, and most, therefore, decline it." And so Mason went at it and wrote Rus sell another letter about the Southern Con federacy. Rnssell had the hardihood to reply: "In order to be entitled to a place among tbe independent nations of the earth, a State ought to have not only strength and re sources for a time, but afford promise of sta bility and permanence. Should the Confed erate States of America win that place among nations, it might be right for other natioQS justly to acknowledge ao independ ence achieved by victory, and maintained by a successful resistance to all attempts to overthrew it. That time, however, has not, in the judgment of her Majesty's gov ernment, yet arrived After a time Mason broke out largely on the blockade?claiming that it bad been smashed, vide proclamations of Beauregard and Magruderat Charleston and Galveston, February, 19, Russell replied : "I have the honor to state to you that the information which her Majesty's Govern ment have derived from your letter, and from the public journals on this subject is not sufficiently accurate to admit of their forming an opinion." That was unkind on the part of Russell. It almost insinuates an imputation on Ma son's personal veracity. February 27, 1803, Russell acknowledged another ponderous letter from Mason, and curtly replied: "I have already, in my previous letters, fully explained to you the views of her Ma Jfesty's Government on this matter, I have nothing further to add in reply to your la3t letter, except to observe that 1 have not in tended to state that any number of vessels of a certain build or tonage might be left at liberty freely to enter a blockaded port without vitiating tbe blockade; but the oc casional escape of small vessels on dark nights, or other particular circumstances, from tbe vigilance of a competent blockad ing fleet, did not evince that laxity in the bel Ugerent which inured. according to interna tional law, to the raising of a blockade. I am, &c." A Rebel Letter. Tbe enclosed letter was captured in a I rebel mail uear Winchester the other day by one of our boys and handed to us by a | friend for' publication. Longwood, the 1 place where the letter is dated, is a farm | near Winchester. Tbe information con tatned is quite interesting as adding con 1 firmation to the reports already received of tbe destitution and general bad condi I tion of tbe rebels: Longwood, Feb. 16, 18C3. Mr Dbir Bassbtt?I write .o you to I get us help in our great oeed. For heav I en's sake make application to the Governor I and the War Department, to send to our I assistance against the Yankees. If help I don't come soon we will be entirely ruined. I Tbe people ot Winchester are in a deplora ble condition. I am told they cannot buy I a load of wood, a pound of butter, or any thing else, unless they take the oath of alle giance. We in tbe country are also in a terrible way?they send out and press teams to carry the negroes off- take horses aud everything else they want. Milroy's proclamation to the negroes is having its effect. Any who choose apply to the Gen eral and he sends a guard in open day and takes them off by families, nud we can't | prevent it. A negro went to the hall the other day, and took his wife and children, and then to tbe smoke house and got meat to support them, aud this thing happens somewhere everyday. There will be no labor, horse, or man, left us soon to culti I vate the land, and tbe villains riding all over us so, is horrid. Tbe force in Winchester has been estim ated at from three to 6vc thousand?not much over the former I expect. What there is at Martinsbnrg and Harper's Ferry I do not know. I am told they are trying to or ganize a negro regiment in Winchester.? We cannot think tbe authorities know the condition of things up here. Our men have for the most part gone willingly to fight for the country. Wo have given freely of what we have, and now we ask help. It would not take mnch of a forco to drive these fol lows off, and if it could come soon, much might yet be saved us. Do, my dear boy, see what can he done?get friends to work for us. AU our friends are well, Reuben has just recovered from an attack of jaun dice. Evelyn Lee is with us to-night.? Lucy and herself join me in much love to you and yours. Very truly, Johs Page. The Trcaehcroaa Poller of tbe Dem ocratic Leaden?Lord Lyon* again. j In another dispatch from Lord Lyons to his Government, written in January, we find his Lordship again divulging the se cret, treacherous policy of bis confidential friends, tbe "leaders of tbe Democratic party." He writes: The Democratic party seeks to profit by the difficulties of its opponents, without committing itselt to any very definite policy. Thus it attacks the arbitrary arrests and the other extralegal measures ot tbe Cab inet, and, above all, the military adminis tration; but it does not risk its own popu larity by declaring against the war, or pronouncing the word "separation." Its leaders know that it is felt to be the Peace Party, and that it really gets all tbe votes of those who desire peace. They will not iccur the danger of losing other votes by avowing a desire for peace themselves. They desire to throw on the Republicans all tbe responsibility of any unpopular measures which may become necessary. Foreign mediation is not likely to be ac ceptable to tbe people at larg*, and tbe Democrats would be very glad to escape ih share of the nnpopnlarity of bavin? ecourse te it. From the WeUsbuis Herald. The Recent Kleetlon. The result of the recent vote on the rat ification of the Willey ?^e.nd?c?l i*-? ^ new State Constitution surprised the friend of the project probably as much a3 it did its opponents; for the most sacgaine hara ly expected so decisive a vote, and we are satisfied that the opposition dil DOt expec that the recommendation to abstain ,ro? voting would be 30 generally regarded. It is rare, indeed, that a recommendation in political affairs is so generally ob3?"f?! and the secret by which it was effected would be a most valuable acquisition to future managers of such aff?ir3. Ten days before the election the opponents of the ! new Stale, at least in some qaarters, seem ledto be all back bone, were elate and spunkv, talked largely and were willing I even to take reasonably large bets on the re sult" such a thing as declining to vote ! never occe seemed to have entered into i their calculations, bat lo I what a change. i In the coonty of Brooke, where it was rea | conably assumed tbat in no event would the new State bare over a meagre majority, ? some 600 votes were polled (iucludiug the j soldiers,) and but one solitary man ; ed bis name against it, and he probably i more from constitutional contrariness of i mind, than for any other reason. Even ! assuming that all those who failed to vote, ! would have voted in the negative, and this would have been by uo means the case, a clear and indisputable majority of the vot ing population voted in its tavur. The ex ' ireae Tote of Brooke county little, if a.oy, exceeds 900; so that there is, in any event, ! a clear majority of about 300. This effect ually spoils the game sought to be played bv the managers of the opposition, so far as Brooke county is concerned ; and the same may be said in regard to Hancock, Ohio, Marshall and many more, if not all, [of the 48 counties. We have no -lata whence to estimate, but there is little doubt but that a clear majority of the legal voter3 1 of the State of West Virginia, soon to be, i pronounced on the 26th of March, in favor | not only ol division, bat of the new Con I slilution as amended, with the distinct un derstanding that it provided for the cer I tain extiuciion of slavery within the limits of the said new Slate. It is true, tbat even had there been les3 than a clear ma jority of the legal voters, the affair would have been just as legally settled, provided tbat a majority of those who did vote, voted in the affirmative; nevertheless, it is belter as it is, insomuch as it will stop the months of all demagonges in the future, who might endeavor to make trouble by false repre sentations of military coercion, intimida tion and other similar pretences. West Virginia comes iD, as a free Slate, with a clear record. It is now the duty of the President of the Convention to certify the fact of the ratification to the President of the United States, whose duty it then becomes to de clare by proclamation the Stale of We3t Virginia a member of the American Union Sixty day3 after the issoe of this procla mation, it takes effect, and the new State becomes in fact, nod in every respect a sovereign State. During the pendency of this sixly days, at a day to be named by the Governor, as provided in the schedule to the recent convention proceedings, an election for State officers under the new constitution will be held, at which all legal voters, civil and military, may vole; and the officers, State and county, then elected, will be the parlies upon whom will devolve the duly ot putting into motion the ma cbinery'of the new constitution, so far as yet provided by legislation. An Error Corrected. Point Plbasast, April 2d, 1863. Editort Intelligence : Giktlemes :?Please rectify the otrors that unnccouutabiy have obtained currency in relation lo the battle of Point Pleasant. Capt. Carter, of company E, commanding Post, with but 50 men, look a position is our Court House and repulsed the enemy several times, and tbey finding it impossi ble to capture the place aod the gallant Captain treating their repeated summons to surrender with contempt, ihey, aftei four boars fighting, bt.at a retreat, which, by the arrival of reinforcements from Gallipolis, O., was changed into a disgraceful flight, each regged vagabond for himself, throwing away much of bis encumbering plunder, swimming the creek and running tor life. The results of the fight were: Union loss one Lieutenant badly wounded, one private killed and one mortally wounded, thirteen captured and paroled and one citizen wounded in arm. Rebel loss 20 killed, 25 wounded and 27 taken prisoners, including a Lieutenant Colonel, two Captains and two Lieutenants. The property lost was some six thousand bushels of corn cribbed a little back from town and two stores partly plundered, also some horses. 'Tis true this Point was surprised, but it was never captured, and therefore could not have been recaptured. By request of mauy citizens this correc tion is solicited, thai justice may be done our brave "soldier boys." Respcclfully Your?, E. M. Fitz Gbrald. The Vote In Tyler County, Editori Intclligenctr: I send you the fall return of the votes polled in Tyler, on the 2Gtb of March, ex cept one small precinct, which will increase the majority in favor of tha new State about thirty. The vote stands : For. Against. Sistersville 198 1 Middlebonrne? 154 Cenlreville 160 John's 69 2 Uissam's 73 Dancer's 57 2 Total 716 5 The above vote added to our voters in the United States army, will exceed the whole vote cast, when the Ordinance of Secession was voted upon. This vote speaks well for old Tyler, she has acquited herself with credit. Although the weather was inclement, the people came into town early on the 26th, eager to cast their votes for the amended Constitution Old men who under ordinary elections eonld not be induced to turn out, exposed themselves to the inclemency of the weather to cast their votes, to free themselves from the dead carcass of East Virginia, and really become a free people. On Tuesday evening next, we will bare an illumination of onr town in honor of our Xew State. Kanawha. From the Point Plauul Begiater. Battle of Point Pleasant. On Monday last, at 10 A.

Major j Waggoner was 82 years of age, and one of our most loved citizens. He repulsed tbe British at Craney Island in the war of 1S12, and died for the Union in 1863. From the Point Pleasant Register. The New State Election. ThanlrGod! We3t Virginia is at !*st an I independent State. As bad been confi dently anticippated. West Virginians last Thursday ratified the amended Constitu tion by an orerwbelming majority. The vote wa* heavier than tbe most sanguine predicted. It may reach 30,000 Old ila 50Q responded nobly, giving 1.140 (or, and but one agaiust. The line is tightly drawn between the friends of West Virginia ucd its enemies. Those that bad ati opportu nity and refused to vote for tbe Sew State, will not be regarded as its friends, and will be eschewed by New State men ever here after. The record is made up, and we are in fact, as we of right long ought to have been, a separate Slate. God divided ns and man never attempted to unite us, but?ice ourselves have now finally and forever, severed the political tie that bound us. Now that we have a new State the respousible duty remains of putting i:3 machinery in sncce?ful oper ation. Much of present prosperity depends upon a judicious selection of officers, from Governor down. Let us do our part to have throughout the list the "right men in tbe right place." See to it men of Mason county that you select suitable, true men to represent you in the State Convention to be held about the middle of April at Parkersburg. West Virginians, demand a wise, resolute man, at ibe helm, to steer U3 judiciously and successfully through the breakers ahead. Our State has beep born in tbe throes of revolution, has al ready been baptised in patriot blood, and is being cradled amid storms and tempests How careful we sbouid be in selecting its guardians. Tlxe W?y Rosecrani Talks to His Soldiers. A correspondent, giving an account of ihe review of one of tbe divisions of Rose cr<tns' army by the Commanding General, says : In passing along the line he (Rosecrans) frequent!}* stopped to speak to the soldiers and give them a word o; advice or enconr agement,a profeediojr which endears to the men their General. Seeing one of the sol diers iu the ranks wettriug a seedy coat, he asked him why be didn't get a new one. The soldier replied that be had tried to get one, but none were to be had. 41 Well," sajs tbe General, "try Again, aod keep try ing?the more you try tbe sooner your!l succeed, and ihe m^re you pray the sooner you'll get to heavou.*' Briefly Stated. The New York Herald?certainly not a '?Radical" journal nor hostile to the "con servative party"?sum? up tbe testimony of Lord Lyons against the ''leaders of the Democratic party," as follows : The sobstance of Lord Lyons' discover ies amoog the democratic leaders who thus enlightened him may be siren in a few word3. They tcere ready for peace upon al most any terms of reconciliation or separation, and were somewhat desirous of English mediation in favor of an armistice and a convention, but were afraid of the people ; and so Lord Lyous, failing to obtaiu any thing substantial, definite or satisfactory from these democratic leaders, wisely sug gests that tbe true policy of Eogland i3 to stand off, look on and await the course of events.
