AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

The Committee appointed on the part OF
the Border States, in pursuance Of the res
olution of the recent caucus, consists OF
Messrs. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, Chair
man; Harris, of Maryland, Sherman, OF
Ohio, Nixon, of New Jersey, Salisbury, OF
Delaware. Gilmer, of North Carolina, Hut
ton, of Tennessee, Petit, Of Indiana, Ear-
ris, of Virginia, McCleruand, of Illinois,
Barrett. of Missouri, Sebastin, of Arkan-
sas, Vandeyer, Of Iowa, and Hale, Of Penn
sylvania.
The Government forts and arsenal at Mo
bile have been seized by the Alabama
troops, that State following the example of
Georgia in taking possession Of the Gov
ernment property even before the State has
seeded. These revolutionary acts are de
Tended on the ground Of preventing the re
enforcement of the forts by the Govern
ment
Private adyices from South Carolina
state that the people were assured the Sc
cession movement would be conducted with
out any disarrangcment of business, and TO
peaceful conclusion in their own way
Recent indications have, however, changed
these opinions, and they are now beginning
to realize the consequence Of this rash ex-
pertinent Charleston, now at the best
season of the year for her trade, is almost
deserted, and commerce is seeking another
and safer channel If a revenue cutter be
sent to Charleston to collect the duties,
with the new Collector, there is no neccs-
sity, rs is supposed, for a collision with
the State authorities, unless they should
choose to invite it. The Harriet Lane
might easily keep guard at the entrance Of
the harbor, and be entirely out Of range Of
.he guns Of Fort Moultrie, In twenty
lays more there will be little revenue to
collect, as foreign vessels will shun Charles
on like pestilence.
The threats Of Governor Wise, which
nave been re-echoed in other quarters, that
he Capitol must be taken possession Of
md the Inauguration Of Mr. Lincoln forci-
Div prevented, have not been UNDECIDED By
be President Orders have been issued
% thoroughly organize the militia of the
District of Columbia, who are all for the
Union, and it is said that ten companies of
L. S. troops will be taken to Washington
It an early day, as an additional precau-
ton. General Scott will remain there and
md take command Of the whole force.
It is said that the President will make
10 nomination for Postmaster General in
1lace of Mr.. Holt, now acting Secretary
IF War, but will continue Assistant Post
master King at the head of that Depart
nent, that gentleman being we'll qualified
oy long experince in the Department to
discharge the duties of the office.
The reports sent from Washington that
the Republican caucus, on Saturday, with
two or three exceptions only, voted to re-
ject all propositions for compromise Of
the slavery question, are wholly untrue.
We have the best authority for saying that
there were not more than three or four in
the caucus who declared themselves against
and compromise. The great
body Of the Republicans present were for
peace and reconciliation, and willing tc ac-
cept any fair adjustment of existing diff
culties.

DEDICATIoy. According to notice in
our issue Of December 18th, the Freedom
VI. L. Church was dedicated to the service
Of Almighty God on Sunday, the 18th of
December. We are glad to note this eyi-
denee of good taste among US. Too little
attention is generally paid to architectural
taste in our buildings, both public and pri-
vate. The influence of good taste is hap
py in its effect on morals as we'll as on re-
inement. The erection of 50 perfect and
beautiful building is therefore cause for
general congratulation. 1t is gift to the
community, and offers just cause for praise
to the persons interested. The building is
SO by 81, with tower at south west cor
ner II feet square at base and 81 feet high.
The style Of architecture adopted is the
Romanesque, peculiarly we'll adapted to
churches located among our mountains-
We have carefully examined the workman
ship which has been faithfully executed
according to designs made by j. NJ Grier,
Esq, Architect, Of Philadelphia. 1t was
built by ". 9. Vines, Esq, citizen ofour
town, and is pertinent refutation of the
necessity of going abroad for builders when
we have among US those SO able and skill
ful in business, as is attested in the cree
ton of the Freedom NJ E. Church, to
which he may safely refer to sustain his
renntation.

TO TIE PEOPLE OF OTTO.


The undersigned, deeply sensible Of the dan
gers now hanging over our national Government,
and Impressed with the oonYiotion that they can
emily Be syerted BY The united action Of the whole
people, IN which patriotism ahall take the place
of party spirit, respectfully and earnestly call
upon al loyal citizens Of Ohio, who are In favor
OF the maintenance Of the Government, and Of
the vigorous and continued prosecution Of the
war now carried on fer the suppression Of the
rebellion against the Government 70 meet and
appoint delegates 70 UmoH ooHvzHTIoz to be
held at the city Of Columbus, on Thnrsday, the
Sth day Of September next, for the nomination
Of candidates for the different State Offices which
are TO be allied At the general election In October
to VII the Offices Of Governor, Lieut. Governor,
Judge Of the Supreme Court, Comptroller, Treas
urer, Secretary Of State, and one member Of the
Board Of Public Works.
To save further trouble In arranging the de-
tails Of this important movement we suggest that
the Convention consist Of one delegate for each
thousand Of the aggregate vote cast In each
county for Supreme Judge at the last election,
with one additional delegate for each surplus
half Of the ratio, varying this appoFtionment,
however, so as 70 secure not less than two dele
gates from every county, and an even number
from all. Under this apportionment the several
eoun ties will be entitledto delegates as follows

We further suggest that the delegates be chos-

day, the s1st of August.
FELLOW CITIZENS OF OHIO;--Shall the Govern
ment be preservedi Is now the sll-absorbing
question, and the only one worthy Of the consid-
Grafton of the American People. We feel that
no heightened appeal Is necessary to animate
you 70 the discharge Of your duty in relation to
1t. We feel assured that respect for the men
ory Of your fathers who secured for you the
blessings Of free lnstitutIons-a sense Of the OBJ
legations resting upon you as the heretofore
peaceful possessors Of those blessings, and =
proper regard for those to whom you hope TO
transmit them, will be sufficient to impel you to
declare with no doubtful voice your unchange-
able discrimination that the Government shall
not be broken up.
Compared with the interests involved with the
great question all other interests of but little
importance. If the Government which estEb-
fishes and maintains social order Is rever to ex
ist at the mercy of caprice or disappo nted ambi-
tion, there is but little Of all that we now enjoy
that VIII not in the loss Of its stability lose its
value Shall it be said that we have neglected,
or put IN peril, the proper settlement of this
question, by our party diferencesS These are

ows to allure US from the pursuit of the sub

Qua Bora IN aalHiL.-From q letter
from 9 member of the 7th Regiment, Col
Creighton, We learn that the boys are ct q
place called Sutton, near Gauley river, well
entrenchsd. The 2sd Regiment, in which
is Capt. McIlrath, was ct Weston when the
writer last heard ofthem. Sutton was occu-
pied until recently, in addition 70 tho 7th,
by the 18th and 18th Ohio, . company Of
regulars with six mountain howitzers, and
q company af artillery with two 12-pound-
ers. The letter is. dated August 18Th. We
quote few extracts which may be Of inter-
est; A week ago yesterday Capt. spragua,
Of Co. E, in company with the mail carrier,
started for Weston from somervilIe, and
was taken prisoner about nineteen miles
from the latter place. The mail car
rier was shot through the knee and bled
to death. The mail 1t seems was not taken,
but was found by a courier the next day
and taken 10 Weston.
I lThe day before yesterday Co.'S B and I
were sent back to somervllle 10 cover Capt.
Mack's battery. We marched 81 miles and
back, a distance of II miles in four hours,
including a stop Of nearly an hour. Co.
came back with only three men short, they
having dropped out by fatigue.
hear that the papers are getting us into
a great many battles; at one we had 600
killed and the rebels 1900; at another we had
400 killed, making in all 1000 of our regi
ment killed. At that rate we haven't got
great many left out Of a thousand men,
There may have been fight of that kind,
but We didn't know anything of it till the
papers informed US of it. The next time
they get up fight for US, wish they would
send US an invitation and let us know of it !
beforehand, 50 that we could have hand in
it.
Reports are continually ccmiDg into camp |
that Wise's forces are within few miles Of
US, and we are liable 10 be attacked at any |
moment, but shall not believe it till see
them. The 7th are alone here, and reports
are coming in all the time that we are sur
rounded; perhaps we are, but il seems to me
that they are very careful to keep very far
around US.
Some of our scouts have just come in,
bringing in g prisoner whom they had
caught. he had fred on our picksts.
The only fighting we can find here is to 90
out in the woods, and if we find man of q
suspicious character, we arrest him and
bring him into camp, swear him,snd let him
go; but we have shut down on the swear in
part.

One of CIeveland's Sons Among shs Dead
in Missouri. ra

In Missouri.
We announced some time since that
Cleveland was represented in the army Of
Missouri By Mr.. William H. H. Pease,
whose parents still reside here, and 1t now
becomes our duty, sad though it be, to re-
cord his name among the gallant dead
whose blood will render sacred to liberty
and right every inch of earth upon which il
has been shed in defense Of our country
Mr.. Pease was in the bloom Of manhood, but
he loved his country even better than his
life, and when the bloody hand Of rebellion
was raised against her peace and integrity,
ne did not hesitate to step forward in her
defense ready to endure any hardship, to
mako any and every sacrifice, and to render.
up at last his life in her cause. Mr.. p. was
in Company E, First Missouri Regiment,
aud was killed in skirmish with the rebels
on the 10th ult. His remains were taken to
Montgomery City under escort of Compa-
ny Of Zousves, where they were inferred
with military honors. At the funeral, says
the paper from which We lean the facts Of
his death, the ZOuaves turned out in uni
form in full strength, followed by residents
Of the village. the young ladies walking in
twos Immediately behind the escort. At
the burial, after the salute was fired, the
soldiers fell back and the ladies passed
around the grave, each in turn throwing
upon the coffin lid bunch of flowers. His
name and regiment were inscribed on his
coffin, so that in case his friends should de-
sire to remove his body they would have no
trouble in finding it:

greater part of full company which he
has recruited at Toledo. A considerable
number Of his present command were with
him in the 14th Regiment, and all Of them
are strong, sinewyrlOOking men, not unac-
quainted with hardship, and capable of en-
daring il to any extent. Capt. B. is said to
be fine officer, and has the confidence of
his men. They marched Immediately from
the Depot to Camp Brown:
