LOGAN C. H., Va, June %, 1861.
Ncssrs. misunderstanding on your Gnxi.
| ety, and that of your readers, to hear from US,
| intrude this brief account of the spirit of
Logan now, that it may be known she has not
receded from that high position she SO early
took in tho struggle for independence.
We are grati6ed to see daily accounts Of lib
eral appropriations made by our roble sister
counties to aid in the struggle, and regret we
cannot vie with them in the amount contribu.
ted, as you are aware the strength of Logan
consists mainly in the strong arms of her sons,
her long rifles, and the practised, u~nerring aim
Of her 'markSmen.
But she has not been slow to contribute her
mite TO tighten the burden Of the Government.
Private donations are daily being made which
have already exceeded two thousand dollars, to
tit out volunteers who are daily coming in from
every part of tho county.
Our County Court, at its June term, all the
Justices being present, by an unanimous con-
sent, appropriated five thousand dollars to aid
in the glorious cause
Two volunteer companies have already gone
to the Kanawha Yalley-the Wild Cats. com
manded by Captain Beckley, and the Dare
Devils, by Captain Stone.

volunteer one or two blankets and other ne
ccssary articlcs-n thing which should be done
in every county. They must have such things;
and what Virginia woman cannot give q soldier
a blanket? This is a great saving to the Cow
crnment, and no Inconvenience tn, not even
missed by, the private donor. 1t PLACES ii in
the power of euery one to contribute valuable
aid TO the defense Of his country. A county
of n thousand families, giving but one from
each family, contributes a thousand blankets or
c~overlets lor any heavy, warm covering will
answer the purpuse) worth $4,000, and without
any Inconvenience thus saves that SUN to the
Government / cannot see why the press gen.
orally have not pointed out such q course and
urged it on the women Of Virginia Let them
see how much they can aid. and they will vie
with each other who shall do most
In addition to the two companies already in
Inc Kanawha Valley, Logan will soon have
furnished Two more. And we will still have
b:ave hearts. strong arms and long rifles enough
tn keep old Logan sacred from the tread Of
Abolitionis,s. There is but one sentiment with
the people of Logan. We count ali things gain
if we but conquer the enemy. And when we
hear Of a battle, although it has its Importance,
the enquiry is not how many we lost but
'werc Southern arms victorious p and show
many hath the Lord delivered unto us" We
invite them to shady ~resting.places in our val
leys and mountain Businesses.

This COUNTY has, as you well knox, contrIbu-
ted LARGELY 10Th III men and money " the war,
and il rcr.ns that the soldiers Of lOudOun are
not ouly destined for the defence Of The Old
Dominion but TO defend it in her own county,
ut its own Court House. We'll nigh all the
companies raised here, or at least Il large ina.
iority Of them, are c%ncamped near Lceshurg,
(our county town. at the junction OF GoSse
Creek and Potomac river, witt. only the latter
stream, (Which is very narrLT ut this point,
being only five or six hundred yards wide)
rolling between them and the foe. The report
that Lccsburg was occupied by Federal troops
was spread throughout the county rs well as
trumpeted by Northern journals; but, llkcallthe
rest OF their boosted cnnqucsts, turns up "oosit'
and ut least on our side, nobody hurt" For
some days after the appearance Of the enemy
on the opposite shore Of the Potomac, tue
Confederate camp vas visited BY many Cit.
zcns for the purpose Of trying their guns and
craftsmanship; and, from the accounts oil most
reliable gentlemen, more than one OF the VAN
dals bit tho dust. The camp echoed contln.
ually with the whistle of Minnie balls, but,
thanks to their bad aim, Nobody was hurt"
again. a regiment Of South Carolinians
moved to Leesburg from Cainp flchehs iasl
week, and are in readiness, and will doubtless
give the Yankees I warm reception, should
they show face ''ovcr the waters"
Crops i'll this section are in b ilourishlng
condition.
The ladies of this goodly town hearing that
the sick of our soldiers were in want of bed
ding, clothing, &C., promptly and patriotically
formed an association for their relief, and
wagon after wagon is dispatched laden with
an abundance for their comfort. 1t must be
pleasant after trial AID suffering have prostra-
led the soldier, to reflect that, though no fair
hands administer bis food, md no fair form
hovers around his couch, yet the hearts of the
fair sex are with him, and that from every
bosom swells a feryent prayer-"God speed
And from every soldier comes q heroic res

Tho 4 rms OfGcOrgiu,

We see by the Press, and we learn from ma
ny persons with whom we have conVerscd,
that much dissatisfaction exists at tho course
pursued by the Executive Of Georgia in relation
10 the retention Of arms, at such an important
crisis rs the present, when an additional sup
ply Of the effective weapons now idle, and in.
gloriously resting in Georgia, might suffice to
turn the tide Of invasion from our soil, and roll
it back upon the homes Of the arrogant enemy.
We cannot believe that the same gallant and
intrepid Governor Brown, who 50 ctfcctually
brought the New York authorities 10 their
senses BY his retAliatory seizures, will persist
in withholding any arms from the battle field
on such 4 momcntous occasion as the present,
when their absence might be fraught with con-
their presence might be the theme Of rejoicing
for many generations.
We have every reason 10 believe that the
vigilant Secretary of War, amidst his multitu.
dinous engagements, has omitted no opportu'
nifty TO appeal to the Executive OF Georgia to
relax tic ~stringcncy OF T. rule, which, under
different circumstances, would be eminently
Just and proper. Indeed, we have seen a strik.
ing extract from one of Secretary Walkers
letters to a volunteer officer in Georgia, who
had rendered his company for the war, but
who was uodcr tho necessity Of confcssing that
the rifles OF his brave men would have to be
giren up if they marched into Virginia. The
Secretary wrote AS follows: AT is TO be much
regretted that the rifles Row in your possession
should not be permitted 10 he used against the
common enemy; and be liable TO be retained
in irglorious inactivity, while t'e bcst
blood Of the sons of the South is poured
freely in resistance to the Northern inva.

This body last evening adjourned pursuant
to an order Of a previous day, to meet again
OH the second Wednesday Of November next.
\ large amount of unfinished BUSINESS was
completed, md the most important ordinances
upon the table taken up and passed.
1t is believed however that the most impor
tant business was transacted in secret session,
in which two or three hours were consumed.
Among other acts passed was one authorizing
the Banks to accept Treasury notes, and a Sc
ries OF res"!ul:ohs transferring the Provisional
army Of Virginia 10 the Confederate States.

Tie telegraph, ialsIiyins as it has usually
done since it has been arbitrarily controlled
BY the abolition authorities in tho North, ad-
viscd that Mr.. Russell, the celebrated London
letter writer, had made a speech OH his arrival
ut Cairo, in which he contrasted the Northern
forces with those lie bad seen in the South, in
a manner very complimentary to the former.
This is all CANNON, ms the following from the
abolition correspondent Of tue S.. Louis DEM
ocrat, writing from CAIRO, shows:
W. II. Russell, the correspondent Of the
London Times, arrived here last evening from
the South. He is very distant and reset ved in
regard to making any statements of the force
or movements Of the Southern rebels.
The officers and troops here show q marked
GOODNESS OF attention to him, and, in fact, very
little courtesy. He is accused Of having cot
toned too much TO the Southern rebellion. and
has lost his influence aud the respect which
attached to him before he made hiS Southern
tour.

The Cause and the Mareriel-Each Side.
We make the following extract from one Of
the late letters of "Personne," the intelligent
and observing Richmond correspondent Of the
"Charleston Courier: :"
Contrast, for a moment, the two causes
On the one side, We are defending the prin.
ciplcs promulgated by our fathers-the right
Of sclf-governlnent. On the other is arrayed
mere mercenary interest, and the hate Ct a
people who seek the ~subjugation Of a race they
cannot use.
Contrast again the leaders in tho contest.
On the one hand are Davis, Tcombs, Beaure-
gard, Lee, Johnston, Huger and Bragg. On the
other are Lincoln, Seward, Scott, Pierce, But.
Ter, Banks, Cadwallader and Patterson. The
first a tower Of strength, resting upon the solid
foundations of an unselfsh patriotism the
lasta rotten Pile Of political d~emogogues, look.
ing only TO prefrrment and reward, and sup.
ported only by the btyonets Of their hirelings.
Contrast, still again, the rErn in the Geld.
On the one side is Dan Srckies, the assassin :;
Billy Wilson, the shoulder hitter; Billy Mslli.
gan, the gambler and thief; Ned BuntlIne the
penilcntiary bird; Farnhaln, the New York
tire rowdy Penderg!a3t, the niger minstrel ;
Bendix. the lager beer man Bartlett, who has
no particular forte, beyond d ready facility for
getting drunk, and a host of others, whose
names and regulations are not worth writing.
On the other hand, We have gentlemen like ex.
Governor Manning, WIN. Purcher Miles, John
S. Preston, Wade Hampton, Gen. Bonham,
Maxcy Gregg, Hamilton and ksrshav, of the
noLLesss Of South Carolina ; Wise, Floyd, Ma.
gruder and Pryor, Of Virginia Gov. Brown,
Joseph h. Davis, Lucius Q. c. Lamar, of MIS-.
~sissippi; Barlow, jackson, R,msey, Herdernan
and Colquitt, Of Georgia; Ex-Governor Wins.
ton, Lomnx and Scibles, Of Alabama ; and a
score Of others whose names are recorded
upon the roll Of honor Of their respective
States. Who will say that in a war, the moral
characteristics OF which are so distinctly
marked i'll its representatives, in which the d.
viding line between g%entility and rufRanism is
as broad as the belt between Heaven and hell,
the sympathy Of the civilized world will not be
with us.
