GRAFTON, Friday, June ID 1861,
Nothing worthy of note has occurred
here since my last, beyOndthe usual march,
ing and trnmping, drilling and parH'ling of
tue men.
Quite stir was created here last even
ing by the report that 500 secession troops
were routed from ROmney, Hampshire
county, Va, by small force of Govern
mrnL troops from Cumberland. Rnmaey
ia % miles distant from Cumherland. 1t
is said ten or twelve of the tories were kill
led and lurge number wOuad Il.
Considerable trelinG has horn manifest
ed among the officers of the Virginia regi.
ment, on account of Cot Kramer's decl.n-
sion of the Lieutenant CUlonelry. The
Col. was elected ,me two months ago, and
notified accordingly, hut for some cnnse,
did not see proper to take action one wNy
or the other, till yesterday, when he declin-
ed. An election will be held to-day in
Phillippi, most ofthe officers of the Virgil
mia regiment having repaired there for that
! purpose. Capt. Henry Hubbard, of your
vacancy. His election and acceptance
wonld be hailed with delight ny many Of
6ccrs and soldiers in the regiment.
One hundred transport wagons have just
arrived here from PArkcrshurg. No doubt
a turG of considerable Importance will take
place soon, perhaps this very day or night
| The move will no doubt be made in the
direction Of Beverly, SmGnton. g.. The
hope is freely indplged in that Jim Jack,
son or Mccullough, or whoever the com-
mnnder Of the rebels may he, may make /
stand and give US a chance of meeting il
battle array. Our boys will then make thei
mark, and secession will he wiped out for.
ever-at least, on their side of the Blue
Ridge.
Col. Kelley is improving rapidly. and thi!
day expressed the hope to friend, that HI
would be able to take command in II few
weeks, hope which your correspondent
heartily joins in.
A very sad affair occurred at Phillippi =
few days ago. A captain ia one OF the
Ohio regiments, being officer of the day
went his rounds and thought he observe,
one of the sentinels carclessly reclining OF
his post. Il was, of course, advanced il
the night. The captain WAS quietly APP
proachinS the sentinel through thicket
when he stumbled and fell convenient L
the senIinerS beat, making considerable
noise. The sentinel being thus surprised
took aim and shot him through the breast
without even the customary challenge, anC
killing him instantly. He was, am told
brave aud gallant soldier aud gentle
NAV, and his uuiimely end will cast
gloom over his many friends aud acguaiRt
ances. will give you his name, place o
residence, company, regiment, &c, III nj
next.

The wellsburs Herald, in commenting
on Judge Summers recent letter, says:
The Judge, in our opinion, may he set
down rs unsafe to tie to. Whether lie, or
the rause, will lose most by it, remains to
be Developed; our opinion is, that public
opinion in Western Virginia has now
reached the point when ''geeat men," If
they undertake to oppose, will have to go
under. Their suhmersiun will not make 4
ripple in the current. There need be no
apprrhensiOns Of scarcity of the article.

Thus far the Convention has shown q
most remarkable harmony, indeed we
might say unity of opinion. They have
come mp from the different counties as one
man to the goud work, and most nobly and
earnestly have they entered on their lnbOrs.
Yesterday the 6sst debate of any import
aure ensued 1t originated, as will be seen
By our reports, Upon the phraseology of
some parts Of the declaration reported
by Mr.. Carlile from the Committee on Blu
sineIs. Mr.. Dorsey, OF MonouEalin, thought
he detcctelsomething squirting tOwardsan
acknowledgment Of secession in the word
ing Of the opening understanding
that, unexplained, might be construed that
way. Sir. Carlile indicated the commit
tee from the criticism, and very satisfartO-
Fily, too, as all will admit who heard him.
He Up Ike at considerable length, and Mr..
DOr-ry replied at equal length-not exactly
SO much in the shape of reply as OF IA
speech adverse TO the plan If a pro-
VisiOnal government for the whole State,
Instead of the establishment of sep
arate government for Western Virgin
ia. Mr.. Dorsey made a good speech
and laid down many foTcible points
ia favor of an immediate separate organ
izltiOn. As We said the other mora
log, there is nothing in Mr.. Dorsey's plan
that is not perfectly legal aud constitution
al, and UpLer other circumstances, we
doubt not, it-would receive the unanimous
adoption ofthe Convention. THERE'S danger
rs Mr.. Dorsey said, that when the Govern
ment shalt have put down this rebellion and
restored the original status of not only the
Union, but of each State in it, that we
shall be u Eastern Virginia as we have
been in times rast-her subordiuNte-"he,
newer of wood and drawer OF water" a.
Mr. Crane, of Tucker county, so well term
ed il in his speech. Still we cannot dis,
mise from our minds that the first poin
of all to be gained is to put down the re,
bellion in every county in this State ii
which II cxistS-in LOudon, in KAnawha
in Tucker. in Randolph, as well as it
Henriro and other counties east of thu
Blue Ridge. 1t would be hard, indeed
now TO draw the lines. In fact it woull
be impossible. When the time comes fo
our separation from the East, we want al
the counties that geographically belong t,
US. As matters now stand we cannot ge
them all. By their mnjorities or thei
miuOrities they are now dsaGeeted anc
want the sAlutary treatment of strOu,
governmental nrm stretched out eitbe
around them or over them. We all know
for instance, that London Ceunty is viii
rs aud yet she is not represented in tb
Convection. We know the same of Kau
Owha, get she, too, is unrepresepted.
TheOe are only II few of the valid ohjec
mons to Mr.. DOrsey's plan. What he pro
poses is just what We ought to do an
what We will do ere long. The only differ
eure between him aud other members
,0ns Of time.

Mr.. Crane, Of Tucker county, made an
excellent speech yesterday at the after.
noon session of the Convention. We have
rarely heard the grievances Of Western
Virginia set forth more clearly or more
feeiiugly. He drew picture of the debt
that had, dollar by dollar, been piled upon
rs until it now amounted to some forty
Siz millions of dollars, and all for the
benefit of Eastern Virginia, too. Stand
lug on the porticO of the Capitol at Rich
mond, he said, it had argered him to look
upon the waste that had been made of
our hard earned money for the benefit of
those who looked down on us aud consid-
cred aud treated US as their interiors;
With our money two lines of railioad had
been built from Richmond to Washington,
one not being enough. With our money
two had been built to Norfolk, two to
Lyuchburg, besides water line. Two
had been built dawn into North Carolina
and Tennessee. Under pretence of raising
a monument to Washington hundreds
of thousands of our money had been
squandered.
These remarks came with peculiar
force from Mr.. Crane, Tor he is a Ri b.
nOnder by birth, aud has at this time a
distinguished brother. Hon. A. j. Crane,
living there. Blu. he has lived in Tucker
county since his boyhood and is thorough
" identified with Western Virginia iu in-
terest and feeling.

Peace or War:

Under the meek garb of peace assassins
go about TO put the Government to death
Under the plea that free.speech must he tol.
Grated, treason and sedtion wag their vii
lainous tongues in our Legislative halls, and
drive their untiring pens through long and
canting eXhortations for compromise But
some, bolder than The rest have thrown
aside the mask. Open violence has, at
last been resorted to in our own State to
prevent the utterancc of Union sentiments :;
and the papers tell us that only last Satur-
day the life of Union man was threatened
at Union meeting if he should persist in
demanding a vote upon Unconditional Union
resolutions" The time has arrived for the
application of prompt, vigorous and certain
remedy for the poison Of sediton and rebel
lion throughout the land The Nation is, we
hope, in good hands so far as the question Of
its perpetuation is concerned There is
abundant reason to hope that the civil war
commenced by the rebels at Fort Sumter,
will ere long be followed by a peace. That
peace will be conquered unless rebellion vol
unfairly lowers its stiff and insolent neck
The power of the Government will be ire-
sistible when it is brought to bear. Mean
while we hope that if Union men in this State
happen to be overpowercd at any insigniti-
cant point, as they were on Saturday at
Woodbridge, San Joaquin Co., according to
a statement published in the Union) they
may be reinforced by others from their vicin-
ity, and that patriotism may not be prevent
ed for any considerable length of time, by
armed disturbers of the public peace, from
expressing itself in its own terms. The vic
lent portion OF the Sccessionists have thus
far been treated with much patience. Their
weakness has been pleaded for them, and
they have gone unframed when they have
given offence in public places. If, not con-
tent with being let alone. they are mad
enough TO resort to the bowie knife and the
pistol, in petty localities where they happen
to be the strongest, they will arouse n power
which will not again see quiet, until treason
is either hushed or eXterminated. Wehope
the peace organs of Secessonism will exhort
the more wolfsh of their friends to keep the
peace throughout the State.
Daily national Democrat., 1861-05-17

WE observe that some of the war papers
are much concerned, because the Express
noticed favorably the letter addressed 10y
Gov. Downey to the officers of the Union
meeting held in San Francisco on Saturday
last We have done nothing more than those
papers have heretofore done. The only dlf'
ference between them and us is that we are
consistent and they inconsistent.-ETpress.
If consistency consists in standing by all
that Gov Downey says and does, why did
not the peace organ support Douglas last

The PEOPLE ARE NOT FRTGHTENED.-Tht
loyal people of the United States have nc
fears that the Government can be overthrown
They would have all voted for Breckenridge
if they had feared the ability of the Dis,
unionists to carry out their threats. Very
few were frightened into so voting by reason
of the menaces of the fire-eaters in Congress
or on the stump. The National Democracy
feared the Furiosos of the South Just as little
as did the Republicans. Had this been other
wise, they never would have nominated
Douglas. They would have run any man de-
manded by the ultras, and would have stuck
a protected nigger under every plank in the
National Platform. The present rebellion
has been promised for so many years, that the
old stagers had to try it, or stand convicted
of cowardice. 1t will purify the atmosphere
Just as a thunder storm does in summer. It
is violent tonic required after the saliva
tion the country was subjected 10 W James

THE Douglas faction has good and true men
in it, but as an organization it is no sounder
upon the Union than their pet Governor
whose name is now ringing with reprobation
from one end of California to the Other. -
Appeal.
Party spirit could not well go further than
this, in doing injustice to the loyal and patri.
otic men who compose what the Republican
organ is pleased to term the douglas fac
ton We should despair for the country if
we could be made to believe that the Repub-
ican President and his Cabinet permitted
such a spirit to control them during this cri
sis. We see no charges made by the Repub-
lcan leaders ia the East that Douglas, Dick
inson, Cass and other great Democratic
leaders are "unsound" on the Union question
the country would soon go to the dogs if the
anti-Republiean Union men were to sink the
cause of the country in the cause of party
We DO not ask permission to be Union men,
nor do we ask any rabid partzan to
give us credit for sincerity The Union DEM
ocrats of this State will do right for the sake
Oh rlShlj anu VIII ehler lHIo Tue cahpHlSu on
the Union issue alone, holding partizan opin-
ions in allegiance until the country is out of
danger. They desire to unite with all Union
men of all parties, who can also hold their
political opinions in allegiance, until rebellion
is crushed out They will not, however fall
down and worship at any party shrine the
Republicans have set up for the sake of incl
dentally declaring for the Union. Our motto
is the Union fret, and above all tbingG"

ANOTHER BLACK REPUBLICAN We see it
stated that Col. A. P. Dudley, who was a
Breckinridge candidate for Elector in Novem-
Der last, made a stirring Union speech at
Mokelumnc Hill, few evenings since He
made no reservations but was for the whole
flag with every star-or fight. The Express
should keep its readers posted with regard to
the apostacy Of its old party comrades. The
Democratic party to which it belongs is
rapidly "sloughing off" ali "putrifying sores
and will be so well CLEANED" before Septem-
Der next, that it will have no members in this
county outside Of the California Express
Office and the Court House.
