.rrired RnoI, ARnIn.

We learn that DR.. Cox, a notorious and
misebievious secessiouist ont at West Lib
erty, in this county, has got back again,
having been headed of At Parkersburg,
en- route for Charleston, by a telegram sent
by some of the Union men of his neigh
borhood. While down in the vicinity of
Parkersburg, and when he thought he
was sure to get into Charleston among lis
brother eonspiralors, he sent us letter,
SAYING all the insulting things he could,
cursiug our paper just like all the traitors
do, and sweariugterrible vengeance against
US when he got chance. He dated his
letter at Charleston and pretended to write
TO us from there, and tainted us that des-
pits our warning to the people, he and his
gang of pirates had got off. The Doctor,
however, as he has done before, caught
himself in a lie, and now he can write to
us from West Liberty and date his letter
from Charleston, if he wants TO.
Since he got back, We are told, he has
been Illuminating all sorts of threats
Dragging how soon Wise would be up this
WAY, and how, When he did get here, he
would hang every member of the Legisla-
ture-the Governor and Council inclu-
ded. He rides in and out Of West Lib
erty hugely armed, and endeayors to I'M
press himself terribly upon the minds of
the Union men. He told gentleman there
the other day that he wOnld gladly enlist
five hundred men, if he could, to help wipe
us all out. We have no doubt of it. Not
bit.
The fact that this fellow goes at large,
and is permitted to pratice his threats and
terrorism with impunity, shows to what
bounds-what mistaken bounds in all like
lihood, the Union men have extended their
clemeucy. All that he, and those banded
together with him in that and other
neighborhoods in the country around us,
desire, is just a good opportunity to stealth
lily attack Union men. The miscreants are
only waiting this chance, and this fellow
Cox boasts that it will soon arrive.

A Fanatic served Right.

On Monday last, as we have already
noted in telegraph, Lovejoy of Illinois, of
fered the following resolutions:
Resolued, That in the Judgment of this
House, it is no part of the duty of the SOL
diers of the United States to capture or
return Fugitive slaves.
Resolvcd, That the Committee on the Ju-
dietary be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pedency of repeating the law commonly
called the Fugitive Slave Law.
Whereas, Major Emory, of the United
States Army, resigned his commission un-
der circumstances showing sympathy with
rebellion against the Government, there
fore,
Resolred. That his restoration to the SER
vice was improper aud uujustifable, and
that this House, in the name of the pco-
pie demand of the Executive his immedi-
ate removal.
After debate the resolutions were laid on
the table-s7 to CO.
The prompt disposition made of this
frebrand is satisfactory. However objec-
tionable the provisions of the fugitive
slave law may be, some law for the rendi-
ton of fugitives is demanded by the Con-
stitutioa we are striving to defend. The
unpleasant features in that instrument are
as much obligatory upon us as its uoblest
provisions, and it would trouble Lovejoy
to show that even the present fugitive
slave law is doing, or can do, any great
harm at present. But the repeal of the
law, or even the discussion of its repeal in
Congress, would furnish to the traitors in
the Border States just the argument they
need-the violation by Republicans of
Constitutional obligations. 1t is hardly
worth while to put such a weapon into the
hands of secession.

TIN Charleston Mercury does not think
so highly of the English and French gov
ernments as it did before they decided that
they would not open their ports to priva-
teers, and it threatens those powers with
the terrible wrath of the Southern Con-
federacy. 1t recommends that intercourse
With these nations be suspended, and that
exports to those unfriendly countries be
prohibited. Our blockade will assist
them very materially in the execution of
the last part of the threat. The Mercury
says:
"Possibly England and France, as we'll
as the United States, have yet something
to learn of our power and our statesman
ship. The Confederate States can make
themselves felt in every homestead in
France and England and We mistake the
character of the statesmen who rule our
councils if they do not use their power if
necessary. They need not beg-they can
command the friendship of the great ma
tions of the world"

James @. west, OF Wet1el.

The speech of this gentleman, member of
the House of Delegates, from wetzel, pnb-
lished in our paper yesterday, vas the
theme of all praise on the streets, and
wherever else it was talked about. Such
men IA Mr.. West, so temperate, yet so bold
and clear headed in their political utter
ances, are an honor to the times in which
we live. We look upon Mr.. West as one
of tho most valuable men to the Union
cause that we have in Western Virginia
1t is a credit to the Union men of Wetzsl
that they selected him MS their representa-
tive.
He administered severe but much de-
served rebuke to Arnold, of Lewis, whose
speech stands in discreditable contrast in
the eyes Of all true men, to that of all the
other members who spoke.

a gentleman lately arrived at New York
FROM the South, who is accurate knowl-
edge of the condition of things, says that
even in Alabama there is but bare ma
jority now for secession, and there are
counties in the Northern part of the State
where it is not even safe to talk secession.
He is confident that Mississippi is still for
the Union, though dragooned into seces-
sion, and Arkansas is anything but unani-
nous for secession. lie says the great
strength of the rebels lies in their belief
that Northern men are towards and will
not fight. The first great victory of the
Government, he thinks, will dispel this il
fusion and cause a quick collapse Of the
whole secession movement.

How TRAITOR TREATS HIS MOTHER
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writing from New Lisbon, o., relates the
following, to show the character of the no.
torious ValIandigham, who disgraces n
loyal constituency by sympathizing with
the rebels.
This notorious YulIandigham has poor
old mother, we'll stricken in years, who
daily realizes.
GLOW sharper than serpcnt's tooth it is
To have a thaukless child"
This worthy old lady is respected
member of the Presbyterian Church, in
Dayton, and, although the mother
of an honorable member of Cougress-a
man very well off in worldly property, be-
sides his $4,000 year and miIenge-she
is literally LEFT to the care Of the parish. At
the last meeting of the New Lisbon Pres
bytery, on the motion of Rev. y. NJ. Todd,
relief was granted to Mrs. Yalluudigham
by vote of the body. And for several
years past she has been regularly relieved
in the same manner. The congregation of
the church of which she is a member have
also, from time to time, furnished the
means of support, without which she must
have suffered the last degradation of vir-
tuous povcrty-the poor house. From
these facts yonr readers can judge how liz
tic of manly truth and conscientious scru-
pie stood in the path that led Yallandig-
ham to the camp of his country's enemies.
The man who thus neglects a helpless
mother, would very naturally incline to
the side of thief and treason.
