From Hammond.


We are in luck. We received another
number of the Richmond Enquirer last
night. We can hardly tell how or whence
it came. We suspect that the enterpristng
editors of that concern have sent out
balloon for our special accommodation, and
that it was dropped down to us. But, be
that as it may. we are highly pleased with
this number ttuue 7th,) for it gives us two
valuable items of neWs--the first of which
| is this
-ARR1vED-P. II. Moore. Esq, the tai
epted young editor of the Wheeling Union,
arrived in town last evening, and took
| lodgings at the Exchange Hotel. He brings
| bad news from that section. His paper
was stopped by the Federal troos and he
was compelled to fy his native city for his
life. What times we live in
It may be that "the talented Young edi-
tor" did fes for bis life, but if he did, it
was from the officers of justics and nobody
else. Certainly be never Aed from the
Union men of this city. He might have
stayed here until he was grny without
having hair of bis head harmed and the
fact that equally, if not more objectionable
persons than himself have not aed, is the
best retutation that conld be given of his
yarn to the Richmouders. And as for his
paper being stopped by the Federal troops
we have only to read his vaIedictory to
his readers 10 his last number to refute
that. He there said he stopped because
he was sinking money and found himself
hopelesslv opposed to the sentiment of our
people.
Another item of news equally veracious
aud refreshing with the above, is this post
script to the latest news from Phillippi:
We learn that our troops got decidedly
the better of the battle near Phillippi. They
killed some sixty or seventy of the inva-
ders, and wounded several others. WeaFe
sorry to learn, however, that several of our
gallant soldiers fell in the conflict. Among
those killed on our side, were Capt. Rich
ardson, Of Bath county, and Lieut.. Danger.
field, also Of the Valley, aud Mr.. Simms.
formerly mRil agent on the Danvilie
Railroad. We did not learn the names of
the other soldiers killed on our side Our
soldiers repulsed the enemy three times.
and after the third repulse, the enemy fell
back on PhiIlippi.
Since extracting the two items above we
have come across another of the same re-
liable sort. We suspect 1.-THE talented
young editor" was the bearer of it:
The VoTEIX WHEELlxG.-Contrnryt to the
Constitution of the United States, which
the LincOInites pretend II respect so much,

the forces mustered into the Uni'ed States
service, both fro II Ohio and Pennsylvania,
AS well as Virginia, voted on the Ordinance
of Secession at the recent election held in
Wheeling. viii the returns of an election
thus frauduleully conducted, be received :?
We trust not.
The shortest and most appropriate dis
position that we know Tow to make of
this item, is to inform the Richmondcrs, in
case they should see this number of our pa.
per, that it is btre-face lie, "m ,de out
of the whole CLOTH" Not man from
Pennsylvania or Ohio voted; and what is
more, several of our osn regiment, who
were entitled to vote, did not do so, and
those who did vote, went to the places
they had always voted at The prooI.s,
Hancock and Marshall county troops went
clear home to vote, aud those belonging to
the city here, went to their respective pre-
