BrewnIow's view OF the~Far.
TProm the Knonviilr Wbir Ma AL

However much VIC may all deprccato
the state Of things now surrounding u.s.,
and however anxious we may DO for
peace and compromise, us candid men,
Il we arc at all intelligent, we are forced
to admit that the President would be
false to his sworn duty, Il he failed to
meet the crisis with less Of energy than
ho has displayed. The supremacy Of
the Government must be vindioated by
its power, or DO disgroocd In the eyes OF
tho civilized world and tromPled under
foot and extinguished forever. Walktr
the Secretary Of Wor Of the bogus Gov
crnment al Montgomery, has opeAly pro-
claimed, In q public speech, after the
fall OF Fort Sumter, that their purpose
was, in sixty days, to plant the nag OF the
Confederate States upon the dome
Of tho Capitol at Washington
Aud a. proof Of this design, thty have all
the time been recruiting men and march-
ing in that direction. Let them attempt
. il, 10 their madness, " they choose, aud
the terrible consequences will be their
reward
This is now war Of conquest or subiu-
cation, on the part Of the Government
At Washington, but a war Of protection,
10 establish the supremacy Of the laws
/ by G overnmont strong enough 90 en-
force the rcpcct due q its nlg. Bitter
curses are heaped upon the Northern and
Northwestern States, for the readiness
with which they respond TO the call Oft
/ President for men. Men should oonsid-
cr that the issue IL such, TINT duty and
patriotism call upon those States, In
thunder tones, 10 Fivo tho American
Flag, and those who bear IL onward a
generous support. Gen. Scott TAX
this view Of the subject, and under the
binding obligation Of his oath, stands
Arm Ut TIE head Of tho Federal army.
As an individual, wa have three tr
four idcus planted firmly In our brain,
which, " removed by brgumen', OF any
array Of facts, authentic and reliable, " .
would at once declare for the Southern
Confederacy. Until the8c ideOs are re-
iuted, we will submit to be eruciiod be.
/ fore we will surrender our opinions
We briefly state the points:
! First, this whole m,vsment TO break
up the Government, and disolve the Un-
! ion, is the work Of corrupt, designing
and unPrineip'Sl domOgogues, who seeh
their own, and not their country's good
Second; this wicked work Of dissolving
tho Union has been contemplated fol
thirty years: II originated in the tory
State that led the way; and the Negro
had nothing to do with II, but was made
the occasion Of the rebellion.
Third, the Southern Confederscy is II
the hands Of worse men, and will bo con
trolled by more reckless and unprinei'
! pied men than exist elsewhere.
Believing these fnets with as much
sincerity as we do the teachings Of the
Bible, we can never sanction the move
ment Of the Southern rebellion.

A West VirEiaia View ofLrichs
sr's Bargain ana sale

In our paper this morning we give ths
official bargain aud sale BY whieh on the
2jth day Of April, the State Of Virginia
was nouinslly sold out By the Star
Chamber dcspots Of Richmond to Alex.
u. Stephsns, Commissioner from the
JEFF. Davis Government at Montgomery.
There will scarcely bo moro than ona
o ohni5n, we believe, In this community
about this infamous usurpstion. II will
be rcpudiated and dehe3 here. Yct tha
Wheeling Union--the suppiiant echo {
every word and work Of the oonspIrstors
IN an extra Of yesterday, makes bold 10
say that this document "will DO read
with unulloycd satisfaction hy every
Virginian." The assertion is rroSs
calumny upon our people, and enc, were
u true, that would call for the 0aneraf
Government and the ncif h5oriug Statcs
on either side o us 10 at once ueifo aud
occupy the ground on which We stand.
Were we such nest Of traitors and cnn-.
spiratoH as the Wheeling Union would
represent us, we would net be safe a day
nor an hour. But our neighbors know
better, They know that s cossion 10
this community is almost fimily affair
that Il has no real foothold uf0ung a.
that Il cannot stand a momcnt-ayc, not
o,nd, before the thousands loyni
hearts and brave aud sturdy arms Of the
lyevmanry Of Northwestern Virginia,
backed up und aided az they will 30 by
the eager aud swarming multitudes TO tho
right and to the lefl Of us. Proudly con-
scious that We speak tho overwhelming,
tho almost unanimous Soico Of the peo-
pic Of this city we, before tho country,
before our friends and ncighk==s, hold up
this unparalleled sale 10 public exeors-
ton, and derounee Il for all that a. infs-
nous and unholy.

cause we have for complaint, Is for want
Of equipments. Our clothing is poor
Shoes are about to be furnished BY the

Our health is generally very good
Only few slight Eases Of sickness have
occurred in our company. We are all
willing and ready for service. No one
wishes to deseft. We ask only for
soldiers rights. Our camping ground is
very muddy. Our treatment when we
came into camp was not such as iS due

say no apprehension need be entertained
for the safety Of that pla ce. All that is
required to render It impregnuble ssainst
any force that can be sent against il, Is
heavy ordnance, which is momentarily
expected. There are now five distinct
