To ths Editor Of he AorgdHtolrH Star:
WAsHISeToS, July IA, 1861.
Permit one who feels Il deep interest IN
tue prosperity of Western Virginia, to en-
quire through you, what the people oil that
section are doing towards the formation OF
a new State.
l am enquired of here every day, and all
most every hour of the day, by exiled
Union men from Eastern Virginia and
the Southern States, "when will West
ern Virginia give TO the Union men
home-an abiding place, where they
can rest with their families, free from
the Intolerance and prosecutions OF the
madmen who now control the dcstini-
es Of the South - II seems TO me that
your people should lose no time in forming
for themselves State Constitution, and
( ia procuring an act of the Legislature
giving its consent te the formation OF a
new State out Of trans Allegheny Sir-
ginia. From all can learn, Congress
will at any time when asked, admit
such new State into the Union. This
once done, in my Judgment, in less
than twelve months, fifty thousand emi-
grants would settle in the new State bring
| ing with them All immense amount Of cap
ital aud enterprise With this accession
to your population aud wealth-with the
control Of Your own policy-can any one
doubt the progress and destiny of Western
Virginia. | will not now examine into
the great advantages of your section oil
country arising from its locality, minerals,
health and climate, but if have time you
shall hear from me again on those Subjects
before leave the city.

News from southern Papers.

We are indebted 70 the Kindness of q
friend IN Louisville, Ky, foralot of South
era papers-the reading of which these
times, when such matter is very scarce ia
high attitudes like Wheeling. has afforded us
good deal of interest. The papers before
Us are the Charleston Courier, the Nash
willie Gazette. the Kingston TEAM Journal
and the Clarksburg CTenn.) Chronicle, all
"scsesh" but the Journal.
We see by the following item from the
Charleston Courier that the price of good
niggers, and even of those not SO good,
still holds up down in the deleetable State
of South Carolina:
Hon PRIcEs PoR NEGRoEs.-At a sale by
the Commissioner in Equity for Baruwell
District, on the 9Th July lost, were sold. at
the residence of Mr. J. W. Rusk, twenty
one negroes, the property Of Mrs. Rusk, de-
ceased, at the following extremely high
prices, viz: one man, about IS years old,
an invalid, brought $500; one woman, co
years old, Sl7O; one blacksmith, 81 years
old, brought $2,5OO; one man, 80 years
old, Sl,lT5; one % years old, $1,000; one
20 years old, Sl,5l0; one 20 years old,
l,i6O; one boy, II years old, 81 $50; one
| 10 years old, Sl,l00; one IL years old,
$685.; one 10 years old, ST25; one years
old, SsO5 one girl, ls years old, 1880 ;
one woman, &c years old, and four child
reu, So, OO5; one woman, 80 years old, and
two children, $4,000, which is an everage
of $s44 o..
The above prices looks ms if the people
of Barnvell are not much afraid of Lin
coins blockade.
We see by the GAINESVILLE paper. that
some Northern men are down there sereeeh.
ing for secession. And here's the kind Of
thanks they get for it, the seOundrels:
Too MuCH OF IT.-We can very easily
and reasonably reconcile n moderate de-
gree of devotion to the South with the
character, feelings, and prejudices of some
Northern men, even when they have been
with us but q short while. Many such, we
| believe, are too honorable to do any harm,
even If they are not ready to take up arm:
for US but when we see Northern man
who has not been among US three months
/ or even one, as is sometimes the case
/ shouting louder for the South, than South.
erners themselves. and talking about fight
/ ing and killing Northern men, as if they
were his hereditary enemies, we feel NO
only like watching him reTy eiosely, but {
decided inclination to kick him back tt
Yankee land. We say to our friends
irdteh sgch mon They swear loud, bu
swear very badly, and have generally mad'
some hsdrV sacrifice to serve the South
Watch them!
If he writes letters, try to get hold o
one OF them, and you will very PrObabl,
learn something about the gentleman's rea
sentiments and designs.
We find by the Nashville papers that W
S. Hawkins, young divine, graduate o
Bethany College, is devOtipg the super
abundant energies of his infatuated sou
to the cause of Jef. Davis. The Brook
county public who enjoyed his acquaint
anee will not be surprised, we suppose.
The Kingston paper is, as we said, al
right, and it does one good to read it. l

The horrors Of civil war are now being
tasted in Northwestern Virginia. Welearn
that hostilities commenced the goth of
June. This struggle is caused, us We I'M
tlerstand, by the unwarranted attempt Of
the ConiederAtes to subiugate the North
western portion OF the State, because, for
sooth, their preferences are for adhering to
the old Government. Henry 4. Wise has
been craEying about through that country
until nj last he has succeeded in stirring
up civil strife and blood shed, aud we sup
pose the old bigot is now resting at ease.
We regret to record this state of affairs
in Northwestern Virginia, but we have
| been expecting it for weeks past. 1t is
only natural consequence following in
the trail OF secession and oppression, and
ia this connection we can but look forward
to the probable fate of East Tennessee with
feelings of deep and profound regret. Sue
occupies similar position 10 that of
Northwestern Virginia, and the same dis
position is becoming manifest on the part
of the Secession party here as is being en-
acted IN Northwestern Virginia, conse-
queutly we can see nothing in the future
which convinees US that war in our own
midst is not inevitable. We hope, hcw-
ever, ii be is not dead to every sense Of
honor and Justice, the Executive of State
will cause to- be withdrawn the hordes of
troops being daily quartered upon the
quiet citizens of East Tennessee. He has
been requested to perform this duty. Will

The following description of Fort
Sumpter, to which Major Anderson
retired, upon the evacuation Of Fort
Moultrie opposite Charleston, South
Carolina, will be read with interest:
Ft. Sumpter, work of solid mason

North, East and West sides with o
double row of port holes for the heavy
guns, and on the South or land side,
in addition to openings for guns, loop
holed for musketry stands in the mid
die ofthe harbor on theedge of the ship
channel, and is said to be bemb- proof.
1t is at present without any regular
garrison, There is large force of
workmen-som one hundred and fifty

the guns and otherwise in putting this
strategic point in order. The arma

A REMINISCENCE OF FILMoRE's AD-
MTNIsTRATIoN When, about 10 years
ago, Millard Fillmore was President OF
the United States, and the frolicksome
Palmettoes threatened to cut up some
ol their old shines that excellent execu-
tive officer caused strong body oil
troops to be quietly put into Fort
Moultrie. The gay and gallant Pal
mettoes, says the New York World,
awoke one fine morning, and found this
awkward fact suddenly staring them in
the face whereupon their chiyalric GO
vernon waxed wroth, and applied to
president Fillmore for explanation. -
" Sir" was the answer, the President
of the United States is not responsible
for his official conduct to the governor
of South Carolina. The amiable
President then in Office did not affect
leonine or heroic qualities but he un-
derstood his duty to the Constitution
he was sworn to support, and his Wig
orous mode of confronting rebellion,
nipped it in the bud, to the great sat-
isfaction ofeverybody, except the com
qustible and explosive Palmettees.
