The Press, of yesterday morning, copies
an article from the wellsburg Herald. an
nouncing that 80. W. LangGt and other
influential parties in the Constitutional
Union, anti-war Democratic interest in
Brooke county, intend to make an effort to
have Judge Berkshire set aside the recent
county levy for the benefit of the families
Of volunteers" Upon this the Press says:
We earnestly hope neither Mr.. Longftt
nor "any other man." will make any such
attempt as is intimated above. Such n
levy can only be productive Of good, and
it is not the part of true Democracy to op-
pose it. We can scarcely credit that Mr..
L. would do so. If he should, it would
be from other motives than those of the
''anti-war Democratic interest"
Are we to understand that the Press
speaks for the nnti-war Democratic inter
est? How does the Press know what mo-
tlves govern 0. W. Laug6tt and others, in
this matter2

ON PICKET.

l return, for a moment, to Hurricane
bridge. parted with you there to go on
picket. Gentlemen, were any of you ever
in "tbis fix" on "a bitter cold night, in an
enemy's country? If ever you were, my
word for it, the event is "burned into your
memory" | know | shall never forget it.
At dark, the voice of the officer of the day
came up from the camp to the cold hill
where we stood, with the very comforting
words, "Put out that fire!" and the fire
was put out, and from that until morning
we were doomed to stand or lie there, und
shiver in the cold. Unfortunately for
picket, on a cold night. he has not only to
stand without fire, but he has to stand still
and keep hid ms much rs possible, lest lin
this country especially he may be deserted
by the 'cat-eyed bushwhackcr," and sent
to "that bourne from whence no traveller
returns" ra
This was the more necessary in my case,
as my post was the very spot where the
young soldier had heen fred at, mention
ed in my last, and who slew the would-bc
murderer; and from three or four points
could be. easily reached (as the moon was
shining) by IL good marksman, without the
probability of my seeing the approach to
either of them, MS the woods would conceal
him, and stood upon Il bald hill, with on
ly a low fence on one side. But such was
the intensity of the cold (it having been
the coldest night, up to this time, this fall
in Western Virgiuia) that the blood of the
slnin man, which lay almost ut my feet, AS
we'll as the danger to which was exposed
was almost entirely forgotten, and when
my turn came to lie down on the cold hill,
with one blanket and no FIRE, 1 can't see
that my condition was much improved, as
sleep was out of the question.

conception of the feelings of Bonaparte's
soldiers on their retreat from Moscow,

masses of them would fire villages, and
then rush into the flames and submit will

But what Gun the Major do 1t is the
only course left him by the laws, aud yet
think that he believes, with your cores
pondent, that suspension to the limb of
the nenrest tree would be the more just
proceeding with many OF these bush-lov-
ing gentlemen. Just ut this point | am
informed that Mr.. Morris, the wealthy Sc
cessionist of whom I spoke in another part
of this letter. has delivered himself up.
l did not see him, but the Major describes
him rs fine old Virginia gentleman, dig
niflcd in his bearing, and apparently can
did in his statements. MIR. Morris told the
Major he was Union man Mt one time,
and ran on that issue for Congress, but
some Union troops passing through the
country, despoilcd him of some of his
property, which so disgusted and outraged
him that he went over, '.horse, foot and
drngoons," to the euemy.
He says we served him just right, and so
deeply was he affected by the Majors hu-
name and gentIcmanIy bearing toward
him, that while taking the oath he was
affected almost to tears. | am fully con-
vinced that he is cured of Secession. An
other than the Major might have left him
