A Great Prize for the Loyal Virgin-
ihns--Seizure of S27. 900 in Gold.

From the Wheeling Intelligcncer, July3.
Captain John List returned to this city
last eveing, having in charge twenty
seven thousan dollars IN gold, taken from
the bank at Weston, Va, where iE had
been placed TO the credit Of the " estern
Lunatic Asvlum, by the State authorities.
Captain List was commissioned by
Governor Perpoint to 60 and take charge
Of this money, the work on the Asylum
having been stopped, and there being
reasonable apprehension that the gold
might fall into the hands OF Letcher's gov
eminent The Captain proceeded to Graf
ton and upon making knowing his object
to General Mcclellan, in less than twenty
-four hours regiment OF men, under Col
TYLER. were on the march. The eXpedl-
ton let, Clarksburg on sunday evening,
and matching all night, reached Weston
OF Sunday morning about > o'clock. The
people were all asleep, but the fine
band which accompanied the expedition
aroused the drowsy pODulatiCn by playing
the Star Spangled Banner. Col. Tyler,
took possession Of the place, and Capt.
List went down and demaned the money
m the name OF the State OF Virginia. No
resistance was made, and ths money was
soon iorked over Some OF the Dank men
thought the amount ought to have been
taken in currency, but Capt, List said he
didn't think SO. and that WAS all Of 1t.
The troops captured some twenty odd
prisoners, all OF whom were released
upon examination. except the following
who were brought up to Grafton and plac-
ed under guard: Jas. T. Jickson, Geo. J.
Butcher, ". +. Lively, John kearns, Jr.r
Shunat. Against these there are especi

panied the money TO this city, and last

inr constantly manufactured. These
arms are additional 10 those furnished by

account. Dealers anventorS are daily OF

however, prefers its own patterns OF uni-

WHEN Davis first opened his book for a
fifteen million loan, We were told that u
was not only all taken At once, but that
pursey planters came in crowds with bags
OF god begging for the precious scrip, ami
y ent away in deep sorrow n learning that
they were too late Nay, the sleek and
happy slaves also came with the careful
savings Of over time, and prayed TO be
allowed share in the brilliant spccula-
ton. Yet it now appears from advertise
ments in Georgia papers, that only Sll,
100000 OF the great investment was really
taken, and the faithful are called upon to
come down for the remainder forthwith.
Truth will come out, il seems, in spite OF
the systematic lying Of the whole oeces-
son -arr
