mending Day OF Fasting aud prayer
WHEREAS, A Joint Committee of both
Houses of the Congress of the United
States, requested the President to re-
commend ga day of public humiliation
prayer and fasting, to be Observed by
the people of the United States, with re-
ligious solemnities and offering of fer
vent supplications to Almighty God,
for the safety and welfare Of these
States; his blessings on their arms and
speedy restoration of peace" and,
whereas, because it is at all times fit
and becoming for all people to acknowl
edge and revere the supreme govern
ment of God, the President has ap-
pointed Thursday, the 26th of Septem-
Der, as day of humiliation, prayer,
and fasting for all the people of the ma
ton. Therefore,
I, William Dennison, Governor of the
State of Ohio, do earnestly recommend
to the people of this State, that, accord
ing to their several creeds and modes of
worship, they do keep and observe that
day, in order that their prayers may
unite with the prayers of the right
minded of other States, for guidance by
the Supreme Ruler Of nations, to the
end, that law and order and peace may
by re- established, and the blessings of
civil and religious liberty secured and
perpetuated throughout the wide extent
of our country.
In testimony whereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand, and caused the great
seal of the State of Ohio to be affixed,
this 14th day of Sehtember, A. D. 1861,
of the organization of our State the
59th, and of the independence of the
United States the Seth.
By the Governor,
W. DENNISON.

1@ We publish in another column, q
most remarkable article, copied from
the Richmond E.cansiner of Aug. 10,
which we hope every one will read
There are some startling suggestions in
it. And coming as it does, from the
very center of the rebel camp, it has an
unusual significance.
Here is a company, which the editor
says is 'uirtusly ABoLITIoNIzED" by
the inhuman treatment they receive,
and that this treatment is by no means
the worst in the Southern Army.
He says, treated soorse than any negro
.slaues, theysai among themselves, "WHAT
# THE SOUTH WHIPS, WE DIE, the non
staUeholding WHITES WILL GET MOTH
ING BY IT" And the editor adds
"THEY SAID MUCH WORSE THAN THIS,
for they ,oere virtually abolitionized 5y
their position" What worse than the
above, these "abolitionized" soldiers Of
the Southern Army say, we are left to
conjecture. But the condition must be
a fearful one, when such a revelation is
made by the Eranainer.
If the non-slaveholding whites come
to talk in that way in the armies of the
conspiracy, terrible, indeed, will be the
vengeance they will take upon those
who have brought the ruin upon them
Slavery is doomed! Let its upholder
stand from under.

The Army in Western Vir-
pinia.
CARN1FEX FERRY, Sept. IA

CARNIFEx FERRY, Sept. IA.
Lee resumed the attack along our
whole lines at Cheat Mountain yester-
day. After long contest, Reynolds
fairly repulsed him, with considerable
Rebel loss, and little or no loss on our
side, owing to the fact that our troops
fought behind entrenchments. The
notorious John A. Washington, late of
Mount Vernon, and two other Rebel
field officers were killed and left on the
field. Our troops brought them in,
when the body Of Washington was re-
cognized by an acquaintance. Lee has
manifestly large force, but he is
alarm ed lest Rosecrans should come up
in the rear.
Our scouts returned to-day from ten
miles exploration toward Lewinsburg.
Floyd had been telling that the Fede-
raj loss was tremendous-over two hun
dred killed first fre-while his own
was almost nothing. He did not ex.
plain why, after winning such a victory,
he retreated.
Wise is down South-eas of Hawks
Nest, letting Cox alone severely.
McCook took seventeen prisoners yes
terday, in an armed reconnaissance across
the river
! Most of our wounded are doing very
we'll.
CAMP SCOTT, Va, Sept. Is
Gen. Cox is here to-day for an inter
view with Gen. Rosecrans. He moved
the main body of his army from Gauley
Bridge toward Lewisburg. Wise and
Floyd are both retreating as fast as pos
sible.
Gen. Schenck is at Grafton, pushing
along matters finely for active move
mentS Several regu lar officers are or
dered to report Immediately to head
quarters. If the people of Ohio wish
to see the campaign in Weste Vir-
ginia still more successful, let the
hurry forward troops Immediately by
thousands. They can never be more
serviceable than just now.

BALTIMORE, Sept, II, 1861.

BALTIMORE, Sept, II, 1861.
The Secessionists here are very ex-
ultant again within the past few days.
"President Davis, they say, is so much
better as to be cable to attend to busi-
ness" The Legislature meets on Tues
day, and the Traitors are to make des-
perate effort to run Maryland out. The
Rebel army in Virginia is 100000
strong beyound doubt; of which 200,-
900 are said to be available for the Ma
rylaud invasion above and below Wash
ington. A feint will be made on Wash
ington, but the attack will not be seri-
ously pressed in all probability unless
our defending army is so weakened by
detachments needfulto meet the Mary
land divisions as to invite change of
programme. They at present expect
Washington to fall after Maryland is
once freed and all approaches cut off by
Annapolis or Baltimore.
The Potomac will first be closed-in
fact it is in military parlance closed to-
day.
An impregnable chevauc de ti'iese of
batteries liues the Virginia side from
Acquia Greek to Matthias Point. Their
guns are Of heavy caliber, and command
the Maryland shore. They expect
within five or six days to seal up our
approaches by that river, and they can
do 1t.
l forewarned you three weeks ago of
this, and of the Importance of seizing
Matthias Point. No gunboats can live
in stream a mile OF two wide, with
ten-inch she'll playing on them. 1t is
simply absurd to talk Of keeping the
Potomac open by vessels. Unless
prompt measures are taken by the oc-
cupation of St. Mary's and Charles
Counties, and, if possible, the seizure
of Matthias Point by land force, or in
some other way, there will be serious
trouble, and that very shortly. Of the
ultimate result no one can doubt. We
will drive them back. But why do so
at a disadvantage?

rsA-By the latest dates we have the
account of the arrest of so many of the
traitor members of the Marylnad Legis-
lature, as will leave that body without
quorum. It was clearly ascertained
that the majority of that pestilent nest
of traitors had conspired with jeff.
Davis to pass an ordinance of Secession,
raise the standard of revolt, and by de-
stroying the Railroads so as to cut off
the North from Washington, aid the
Rebels in the capture of the Capital
AS these conspirators were about to
meet in extra session, they found them
selves in the hands of the U. S. officers,
who have provided them lodgings in
Fort McHenry for the present. Con-
sequently, Maryland can't have the
blessing of Secession ordinance fol
some time to come.

is, that Fremont, by his proclamation,
has put himself at the head of the radi
cal Republicans; and that he now over
tops Lincoln, Seward, and Chase, in the

He will, for the future, be looked to as
the man to give vitality and progress to
the great principles of the antislavery

Price, reinforced by Rains, with Is,
600 to 10000 men, and Claib Jackson
in their midst, to give color of legal

upon our lines. Wherever he goes the
Secessionists flock to meet him, and are
rapidly swelling his ranks.

na The election in Maine has re-
suited in "pretty much wiping out" the
Democratic party. Refusing, as in
Ohio, to unite on a Union ticket, they
quarreled among themselves and got
up two Democratic tickets. One fac
tion pretended to support the war, while
the other supported Democracy. =
The people disguised with them both,
left them to quarrel as they pleased,
and elected the Republican ticket by an
overwhelming majority. JEFF. Davis
will get but little encouragement from
the "Down East State"

aa- We learn with real satisfaction,
that the several companies of volunteers
now being recruited in this County, are
nearly full, and will be completed in a
few days.
A week ago we thought we saw day
light ahead, and hope the present dark
ness may be but the precursor of the
coming dawn. But we fear every man
that can be induced to volunteer will be
needed, and when the last willing SOL
dier has gone to camp or to his CORY
bed, others to fill their places will have
to be called by draft.
We yet believe the rebellion will be
suppressed. But we fear it will not be
until sorer disasters than any we have
yet experienced. shall have taught US a
lesson which seems very hard to learn.
But whether suppressed or not, it is n OF
only the duty, but the interest Of every
patriot to stake his life upon the issue.
For if the rebellion succeeds, they, alone
are fortunate who find resting place in
the same grave that engulfs their
country. May God, in his mercy, save
as from the fate of a survivor.

We had the pleasure of meeting at
Gallipolis, last week, our old friend and
fellow craftsman, Major Sam'l Letting
we'll, of the 31st Ohio Reg't. He is in
command of that post for the present,
guarding Government stores, and attend
ing to 'sUncle Sans" interests generally y
in that region. Having been through
the "Mexican flint mill" he understands
thoroughly the duties of a soldier, and
is prompt and efficient in whatever is re-
unired of him. We are inclined to
think that Gallipolis will no longer be a
favorite rendezvous for the Kanawha
"Aristocracy;;'' and are much mistaken if
the Major don't produce salutary effect
upon the minds of certain JEFF Davis
sympathising denizens Of that place
A good appointment, indeed, is that of
