AFFAIRS IN WESTERN V,RGINIA.-From the
Grafton correspondence Of the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer we extract the following details Of war
movements In that region, jane 9Th:
Gen. Morris and staff went to Phillppi to-day.
This gives color to the con lecture that a forward
movement Is contemplated in the direction Of
Beverly. The Virginia regiment, however, 10
expected to return to this point within day or
two.
A force was sent out to night to Rowlesburg,
IS miles to the east to reinforce the guard already
there protecting the bridges over the Cheat river,
In consequence OF an expected attack by 500 seces-
sionists
Col. Kelly Ia not quite so well this evening as
he has been for a day or two. He is quite feeble
and greatly Frustrated.
/ learn that a secession fort, on the Fairmon,
pike, about five miles below Pruntytown, has
been in full blast for some time back 1t is an
old house, and is garrsoned by about so men
with rifles. 1t Is called Jonathan's Fort, In honor
Of one Jonathan Il. Curry, who owns 1t. They
| have been terrifying and preparing to defend Il
| for some time, and have repeatedly sworn they
| would not surrender to the U. S forces. But
now that they are getting all around them in rathe
close proximity, they are getting alarmed. To
day they sent word up here that II the prope
| authorities would send down they would surren
| der One or two Of the brass cannon hereabout

on their way to Clarksburg, where they expect {

| They style themselves the Kramar Guards. The
are brave-lOOking set Of fellows, and full O
enthusiasm. 1t is probable that a consderabl
camp will be formed at Clarksburg. Citizen
Of Harrison represent secession over there in
very wiped-out condition. Many prominent sc
Cessonists there have sought safety and cOnsola
ton in the ranks Of the retreating army Of JET
Davis.
1t il reported that the secessonists are dom

Who is to Blanc for War!

II there is one so laboring under igno.
rance. prejudice, or hallucinAtion, as to
doubt that the seeded States,o or their lead.
ers, are directly and solely responsible for
the war into which we are drifting, We
beg him to consider the following facts:
/. The first gun was fred. and the first
blood split by the seceders, wh9 have
been the only aggressors from the start.
2. The Fort which was the object Of
the first struggle was the sole property
OF the U. s. Government, who built it,
paid for it, created the very foundation
on which 1t stands, and haye had an in.
disputable right to its possession ever
since.
3. No "iDvasion" whatever has been
made OF attempted, either on Southern
soil or of Southern rights, on the part
Of the General Government.
4. The scccding States have brought
forward no grievances whatever for adj
justmeLt, but have flung themselves out
Of the Union, stealing and making way
with what United States properly they
could lay hands on, and then making war
and shedding blood Tor more.
8. The fOrbearance and endurance o!
the General Government toward armed
bodies of its citizens, engaged in viola
ting its laws, pillaging its property and
defying its authority, has been continued
to point unparalleled 10 the history Of
any Government in tie world worthy Of
the name.
6. The act of Maj. Anderson in final.
ly appealing to the last argument of con
tending powers, was purely and solely in
self defence against a remOrseless enemy
hotIy engaged in the work of his destIuc
ton.
7. The Government which cannot OF
will not or does not protect its own ma
lioual delences, against whatever power
is unworthy the name of Governmental
would deserve to be wiped out as qnickly
as possible from the face Of the earth.
Fellow citizens? Let us have no pal
tering with The question that conf Onts u
