A communication IRON Wheeling, Va,
makes the following statement in regard to
the views and purposes OF the western Vir.
ginians represented in the convention now in
session there =
"The determination is to maintain relations
with the federal government, but the sent-
ment is divided as TO the means to be adopted.
Carlisle and a large party favor immediate
separation from the state, aud the organization
of Il new state government, to be at once set
in motion under the auspices of the general
government, but the action TO be submitted
TO vote of the people. In such case
it is proposed that the new state shall assume
all that portion of the state debt contracted
for and expended within its limits, deducting
thereirom the amount of revenue paid
into the state treasury by the counties com
prising the new state, which, it is surmised,
would leave Virginia largely in debt 10 the
new state. Another party tayors the policy of
opposing the illegal action of the state conven.
ton at Richmond, with the view of overthrow.
ing treason i'll the entire state, and bringing it
back TO allegiance. Still others contend that
the action oi the convention should be advise
ry, and that it should issue a call for another
convention, embracing a larger territory, and
which should determine final action. Except
the last course be adopted, the sessions of the
convention may be protracted two or three
weeks"

At the battle at Boonville, VIM. A
Pill, Chaplin of the first regiment had
charge Of party of four men, two
% ounted and two on foot, with which to
take charge of the wounded. Ascending
the brow of hill, he suddenly came
upon company Of twenty rebels,
armed with revolvers, and fully bent up
on securing a place of safety for their
careasses. Their intentions, however,
were considerably modified when the
parson ordered them to halt, which they
did, surrendering their arms. Surroun-
ded ty the squad of FIVE men, they were
then marched on board the Louisiana
prisoners of war. The parson also cap
tured two other Secessionists during the
day, and at cne time needing a wagon
and horses for the wounded, and finding
friendly suggestions wasted on a stub.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
CAMP NEAR GRAFTON, Va, }
July 9Th, 1861. s

Dear Old Pioneer:
Excuse the apparent rudeness of SOL
dier in addressing you With so much fa-
miliarity. l can only plead my long ac-
quaintance in justification. Since you
last heard from me our little command
has occupied quite prominent position
in the extensive game of chess now in
progress in Western Virginia-that is, as
far as nsoa es are concerned.
On last Monday we received orders to
pack traps, strike tents, and be ready to
leave Camp Fetterman in two hours;
which was complied with by the boys
with the greatest alacrity and delight,
they having become heartily sick of the
monotony and sameness of Camp life
Imagine t cir disappointment, however,
when they learned they were only to
move to some point nearer Grafton
When the hour arrived, we took the cars
and proceeded to the ground, lately oc
cnpied by the 18th Regiment, o. V. NJ
where we pitched our tents once more,
and entered anew upon the tiresome rou-
tine of camp duty.
