I. An oil citizen of Ohio county, now a
resident of Fleming county, Ky, writes US
yesterdaY>ns follows:
The SecessiOnists arc undoubtedly losing
ground in Kentucky. Gen. McClellnn's
proclamation has done as much as any
thing elseto take the kink out of their tails.
They are now for EARNED neutrality" but
they place their own construction upon it,
The Union men now begin to think that
Ky. is safe. The movements of the Feie-
raj troops in Western Virginia is creating
II good deal of interest in Kentucky. The
Unionists are wishing them God speed,
while the SecessionIsts are constrained to
call it an unlawful invasion. We mourn
tue loss of the gallant Col. Kelly.
Yours, @.

The bill of IS. Davis" at this point, was

Mr.. Dorsey Of Mnnongalia, presented II
series Of resolutions to the Convention
yesterday which in themselves were very
good, and wthek under other circumstance
should have our hearty support, but which
It seems to us are not well advised now
He fayors division of the State rather
than a reconstruction of the revolutionary
fragments of it, and presents "a perfectly
legal and constitutional plan, but not such
one as would meet the requirements of
the present crisis. We are for division
as soon as this rebellion is put down,
aud We believe that the course which i, is
understood the Convention has marked out
will result in decision whenever our ma
tioual troubles are owe But in the mean
time it is our plain duty to disarm this
rebellion in the State-the yacate ali the
nsurped functions of its rulers-to restore
the whole commonwealth to the Union,
and then afterwards, when all this is done
and the Constitution of tue Uuited States
is again acknowledged, to proceed in the
work of settling our Western Virginia &C
count with Eastern Virginia.
We are persuaded that this is the ouly
proper course at this time, however good
any other proposition may be ofrself--
And hence we hope that Mr.. Dorsey will
not press his resolutions upon the Con-

Our informant says there are only about
one hundred and eighty Federal troops in
ClRrkshurg, and as he passed Phillippi our
troops were preparing to proceed to that
place and capture them and If any resist

Grafton will soon he retnken by our troops;
