In q Nutshell.

The questions involved in the matter
OF the arrest Of Mason and Sldell on
board British mail steamer, by pub
lie vessel OF the United States, are thus
stated by contemporary in nutshell:
"Ihis capture, if justified by the Ad.
min'stratlon, as reported, is justified on
the ground Of belligere rights andne
trail duties. No foreign vessel ,., u
searched for the purpose Of 20. DC
criminals who have vioIa. arrest'ng
the country from W. .ed the laws OF
If treaties Of . nlch they have fled
must be v -xtradition exist, demand
men. .nade upon the foreign govern.
in the regular way provided by
law or treaty. But enemies and enc
mes property may be taken from q
neutral vessel on the high seas. A neu
trail vessel may not carry contraband
goods-lt it co, the goods are liable tc
capture and colfscation, and if the car
50 belong to the owner, it shares the
same tate with the ship. AS the Con.
!ederatc States arc not recognized as Al
independent power, they can have nc
ambassadors, and Mason and Slide can
not claim that protection.

INJURED WHEAT AT TIE WEsT.-From
various parts OF the country We hear re.
ports concerning the wheat crop of MANY
farmers, that are not at all encouraging.
Everywhere an immense crop OF first

predictions OF an unprecedented rich har

season, arc not contradcted by the re-
suit. But large number Of farmers
have not the wheat to dispose of-noth.
ing near the amount--tha they at one
time hoped; and in cases where they
have the number Of bushels that was
calculated on, it has been found to be
sadly deprecated in value. The straw
grew so rank as u make it impossible
to put it in barns even where barns
are usod-and so it was stacked in the
open fields. We are assured by nersons
wto know about it, that stacks Of wheat

The Battle at Laurel Hill.
Especial to the Cincinnati Gazette
rynop u. r-rr u IN Cur.rRrurp

FIELD OF BATTLE OF CHEAT RIVER,
GARRICK's FORD, MILES SOUTH
OF ST. GEORGE, July IA.
On the night of the llth, the rebel army at
Laurel Hill, under the command of Briga-
dier General Garrett, late Major in the
United States army, evacuated its camp in
great haste, Immediately on learning OF Gen
eral McClellan's approach to Beverly, and
retrested in that direction, apparently hop
ing to pass Beverly before Gen. McCiellan's
arrival, and thus escape the trap set for them
by passage through Cheat Mountain Gap.
The evacuation was discovered on the
morning of the 18th, and pursuit instantly
ordered.
By ten o'clock the 9th Indiana entered the
rebel camp on Laurel Sill, and found large
number of tents, a lot of -four, camp equip
page and clothing, and dozen of their sick
and wounded, with note asking US to 6 i've
them proper attention.
The whole road, for over twenty miles, was
strewn with the baggage thrown from their
wagons, 10 tighten the loads and hasten tn II
retreat, and DISTRACTED by fallen trees to de-
lay pursuit.
The rebel army went within three miles of
Beverly, and there met the rebels flying from
Rich Mountain; and finding an escape to
Huttonsville Impossible, all united and re.
tnrned toward Laurel Hill until they reached
the Leading Greek Pike, and took that road
in the direction of st. George.
Gen. Morris army pursued them for a
mile or two beyond Leedsville that night,
and halted from eleven clock till three this
morning, when the advance resumed the pur'
suit. and continued it all day in spite of the
incessant rain pouring down. On the route
of the rebel army, the latter left the pike
struck Cheat river, and pursued the moan,
tain road down the valley. Their passage,
with heavy wagon trains, rendered the road
almost impasssbie. They were still without
food-some for tWenty-four houre.

IN 4 B. RoBEKTsoS. ESD, returned yester-
d.v from brief visit to Virginia to. his gal
I..t son who is with Col. Bates Regiment of
Tennesseaus. at Aqua Greek. He left the
camp last Friday. We are gratified TO state
that the regiment is in fine health generally,
there being but few cases OF sickness, and
that The boys were in the most buoyant spir-
its and ardently longing for an opportunity
70 meet the enemy. The place chosen for
their camp is delightful spot, with plenty OF
shade. excellent water, and the purest air.
Col. BATE is assidaous in bis attention to his
men. careful to provide them with every COM
fort and convenience in bis power, and though
strict in his discipline, does not presume mp
on bis authority. He possesses not only the
confidence of his men but of the command
ing officers. the Secretary of War, and the
President. His regiment is favorite, and
we may rest assured that they are rightly so.
Whenever there is an opportunity for them
to win donors on the battlefield, they will
gladly embrace it, aud. depend upon it, they
will add TO The well-earned reputation of the
volunteer State.

WHO ARE REsPoNSIBIE?-If our fathers
found, with all their opposition to slavery,
when slavery presented no advantages, and
was necessary to only small number OF the
white race out of the Southern States, that it
became a political necessity to make compro-
misses with the institution, in order to pre-
serve the Union, how much more necessary
did it become to legislate in spirit OF COM
promise and concession last Winter, when
the South had become so strong, and the
North materially dependent upon it? Our
Abolition fanatics, having obtained the con-
troll of the Government, determined to in
augurate their wicked schemes IN despite OF
consequences, and in the dread certainty
that civil war must be the result. and that
the commercial and business activity OF the
North would be completely paralyzed there
by. In spirit of blind intatuation and insane
confidence in their own power, they turned
deaf ear to all counsels for peace and pro-
fessed themselves ready to welceme civil war,
with all its boriid contingencies, IN prefer
ence to a quiet settlement OF our difficulties
BY wise measures of compromise. Nay, they
went step further than this. They persis-
tently refused 10 leave the question to the
people of the Northern States to settle at the
baliot-boY, because they very well knew that
the people would repudiate them and their
Abolition league to effect dissolution OF the
Union. Had they possessed the foresight of
sagacious statesmen and the bumaniziBg in
fluence which usually regulate the judgments
of wise men, they never would have commif-
ted this folly but weakminded, INSCRIPTIONS
demagogues and fanatics bore Iuie at WASH
ington Their clutch was upon the helm,
and the ship of State, as the angry tempest
was gathering in its wrath. was under con-
troll of madmen; the men who pronounced the
Constitution "a league with hell, and a
covenant with death - the eagle OF the
country. the vulture of the Union"-the men
who had desecrated the flag of the Union by
erasing nearly nehalf of its stars. were ID
nover- and hence she drove madly on to
meet the tempest, without one preparation TO
wrestle successfully with its strength. Pres
ident Lincoln has not dared to aliude to those
off,.rs and those contemptuous rejections OF all
comnromises and concessions by the party

not hesitate to charge him and his party VIII

withdrawal of L. M. Bentley, Esq.

LAWRENCEBCRti, July I0lD, lCOI.
EDTroRs PATRIOT The public welfare and
nv private caIamities alike demand nay
withdrawal as a candidate in this COngres-
sional district.
Unanimity, haromny and the promotion
of good feeling being so essential, and OBJ
iects of paramount attainment during the
existence of a revolution, and the private
reason assigned, will furnish approval rather
than dissatisfaction with the course that
have felt it great duty to adopt.
can never be unmindful of renewed obi
cations to personal friends and political asso-
ciates for their manifestations in my behalf;
and especially do tender the gratitude OF
NV heart to our late Union friends in the
Western counties for their disinterested and
uudeserved expressions of kindness and con-
fdence; and that they are a noble and patri-
otto people, the future will fully develop.
With much respect, am yours &c,
LEE NJ. BENTLEY.
