Affairs In Western Virginia.
The correspondent of the Wheeling Iatelliqencer
supplies the following intelligence of the movement
of the federal forces from the Ohio river toward
Grafton:
At Warrington found most of the officers of
the regiment, and a large number of Union men
who had come in from the country to welcome the
soldiers and to render all the assistance in their
power In making the secessionists behave them
selves.
We learned that Stephen Roberts, the leader of
the secessionists at Glovers Gap, seven miles west
OF Maunlngton, was shot and instantly killed by a
squad OF Capt Hayes men, who have possession of
that post 1t appears that the squad were scouting
on Tuesday morning, and came across Roberts ami
two other men, all armed. The Lieutenant in
command OF the squad called upon the secessionists
to halt, but instead Of doing SO, they wheeled about
and fired upon the soldiery. The fire was returned
and Roberts was killed, though the others took to
their heels and made their escape The MIME

buried yesterday morning by his friends Captain

large number of Unioh men from Binpamon
Greek, in Harrison and Marion counties rode into
camp on horseback yesterday morning, swinging

admitted by Col. Kelley, and were shown call the

constantly arriving foot and on horseback and
assuring the soldiers that they were in the country

One party came into camp and reported to Col
Kelley that they had just been fired upon by man
named Hess, in a secession Deighborhood some miles
distant, because they cheered for the Union

Ter OF Matthews confined for burning the bridges
came to see him. They wept profusely at what
they consider his dangerous position, but he reas
sured them by telling that he had been well treat
ed and had no possible doubt but he would be able
to establish his innocence. The Colonel thinks
differently.
The town OF Pennington, where there were only
two men voted the Union ticket, is completely de-
serted, not man or woman, chick nor child re-
naming in the place. In fact the secessionists ge
nerally have fed and supposed to be ranging
the hills and hiding wherever they can get sy
shot at decent man.
The Union sentiment and the secession sentiment
goes altogether by neighborhoods. In some pre-
cincts there osecessoniss at all and in Others
there are Union men. Wherever there is a
wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS secession leader there
are the secessionists, and only there. No one can
imagine the bitterness with which the secessionists
are denounced by the Union men, who state that
they have suffered unutterable prosecutions which
| they determined to avenge.
It's but justice to the troops to say that no ar
rests have been made, except upon specific charges

Destruction of Bridges on the Baltimore and

Information reached here this morning that the
bridge at Patterson's Creek, and one at Long
