copy OF the Richmond Wing of June
!, elst, reached MS yesterday. In it we find
q q the following under the head of "outrages
i in Wheeling.
A friend in Eanawha gives Us some par.
ticulars of outrages upon individuals per-
petrated by the vulgar rufians who have
control of Wheeling. Among others, who
have been forced to leave, are the Rev. Mr.
Moore, of st Johns Episcopal church aud
the Rev. Mr.. Perkins Of st. Mathews
Their families were insnItcd by rufian
mob, composed of Carlile, Caldwell, HHb-
hard aud others of the same stamp. Sir.
Mr.. Moore had already arrived at Charles
ton, and Mr.. Perkins was on his way to
the same place.
In addition to the above precious peice
of news, we find other items of interest.
Under the head of Weston Luuatic Asy.
lum lat weston) we find the following
item;
Mr.. Williams submitted resolution,
which WAS adopted, directing inquiry into
the expediency of suspending the work ON
the work on the Weston Lunatic Asylum
and of repeating the loan of SIS OOOto West
Liberty Academy in Ohio comfy, etc.
We read further that the President laid
before the Convention communication
from Letcher, responsive to resolution OF
the Convention, calling for information as
to the number of troops from Ohio and
other States "that have invaded North
western Virginia" The communication
closes with the remark: "Gentlemen from
the Northwest who arrived in Richmond on
! Sunday and Monday, think no part Of The
! troops arc negroes, while others entertain
different opinion We presume that
among the rest " the talented young edit
or, recently arrived, gave itas his opinion
that part OF the troops were negroes.
! Passing on in our interesting explora-
tiOns through this number of the Whig, we
find that Mr.. Cecil. in the Convention, is
very indignant at the course of Gen, Scott,
and also the late "Old Public Functtonary'
James Buchanan. AS relief to his in
dignatiOu, he offered resolution that
whereas, Gen. Scott ''has taken sides with
the enemies Unconstitutional liberty, there
fore,
Be IL Ordained, That all the acts of the |
Virgini" Legislature heretofore passed in |
commentator or honor of said Winfield |
Scott he, and the same are hereby repeal
cd, and forever aunulled.
Ind be ii Further Ordained, That the
name of Scott, heretofore given to coun-
ty of this commonwealth, be, and the same
is hereby changed to the name of Davis.
And, whereas, james Buchanan, late
President of the United States, has con-
tributed means from his private fortunes
to enable the military despot at Washing
ton to subjugate the good people of this
State; therefore
BE it further ordained, That the name of
buchanan, heretofore given to a county of
this Commonwealth, be and the same is.
hereby changed TO the name of Stephens.
we find that tho seeded Sam Woods,
from Phillippi. is in the convention again,
attempting to represent Barbour county.
Aud We ind also that he, under the head
of proceedings against traitors" submit
ted the following resolution:
ReaolDsd, That all sales, contracts, and
cOuveyauceS, absolutely, OF in trust. all in-
cumbrances, or lieus created, or suffered to
be created, upon, or in respect to, any real
estate, or any interest or share therein,
held or owned by any person who has COM
mitted treason against the State of Vir-
giniH or the Confederate States, or any of
them, or who shall have committed any of
fence mentioned in the lst section of an
ordinance passed by this Convention on the
LIST of May, 1851, entitled, IAN ordinance
for the prevention and punishment of of
fences against the Commonwealth" shall
be null and void. And any person making
such sales, contracts, and cOnveynnces, etc,
and all persons who shall knowingly aid or
assist any such person therein, shall be
deemed guilty of the larceny of such sums
of money or articles of value as may be
received therefor.
The above is pretty good for Sam. He
will have a good time with his ''articles of
value" when he gets back to the region
around Phillippi.
Aiph. Haymond-the adorable Alph, is
also there, and is chairman of the Com
mittee on Military AGairs-and has we see
much to say, as usual. He reported an or
diuance concerning the Huttonsville and
Martins Bottom turnpike-bul what it is
the paper don't say. He also presented
report from the Committee on elections, IN
which he notices the absence of the follow
ing members of the Convention; viz, Caleb
BOggess, Geo. W. Brent, Sherrard Clemens,
John A. Campbell, John Echols, Samuel
Garland, Samuel L. Graham, r. E. Grant,
A. S. Gray. ]. w. Hoge, R. C. Kent, James
Lawson, James Marshall, Thomas Marlin,
spicer Patrick, Edmund Pendleton, Bur-
well spurlOck, FL Turner aud Benjamin
Wilson. He is pleased to graciously say,
concerning these members that 1.-THE Com
mtttec have not been able TO ascertain that
any of the members are absent from their
seats by reason of dislOyalty to Virginia,
