From Western virginia.
PHnL1API, June Is, 8 P. \

Via Courier to Grafton
came over here this afternoon with a
company of cavalary organized from Capt.
Trips company of the sixth Indiana regi-
ment. 1t is certain that the advance Of
the rebel force, numbering over 1900, are
encamped about 2 miles from here on the
Beverly road.
Reports not fully credited announce fur
ther e-enforcements, amounting in all to
from 5000 to 10000 men, including three
South Carolina regiments. Tho force on
the Beverly road is thought by some to be
feint to distract our attention and conceal
the advance of large force in another di-
rection. The commanding officers think an
attack possible at any hour; others suppose
that only guerrilla warfare is intended.
VIM. Griffin and VIM. Martin of Compa
ny K, of the 14th Ohio, from Toledo, were
shot by a concealed foe this afternoon, while
out scouting, about five miles from Phillip
pi, on tho Beverly road. A third man in
the company with them had his clothing
riddled with balls but escaped with only
flesh wounds. A lot of beeves from the Sc
cession camp were captured to-day.
A fight is thought likely to come off 9
little before daylight tomorrow morning.

were unable to take with them. The bridges
at Harpcr's Ferry and Shepardstown, across the

A nIanuractory of Arms stopped.

Marshal Bonifant has done another timely
act in stopping the manufacture of firearms
by the house of Merrill, Thomas & Co., in
Baltimore. The Sun states that members
of tho firm have gone to Washington to beg
permission to resume the work.
Under the heading Of "a Word of Cau-
ton" we find this attack upon tho loyal
Marshal in the Baltimore Exchange of yes
terday:
1t is reported, on what we believe to be
good authority, that the United States
Marshal Bonifant, by the sanction of the
Secretary of War, is about to appoint eighty
Deputy Marshals for this city for the pur-
pose of examining private dwellings for arms,
arresting persons suspected of going South
to Join the Confederate forces, and of fer
reting articles contraband of war. We de-
sire our citizens to understand that any en-
tance of their dwellings without a search
warrant, specifying under oath the particular
house to be searched and the nature of the
property sought for, IL is trespaSS upon
private rights, for which the offending par
ty may be held responsible in damages be-
fore our courts of justice"

From Chicago.

Chicago, June l8.-Tbe correspondent
of the Leavenworth Conservative, writing
from Kansas City on Friday says that yes
terday two companies Of cavalry and one
of dragoones, were sent to reconnoitre to-
wards Independence. They went within
two and half miles of that place, when
they came upon a body of secessionists,
numbering from ono to two thousand. The
officers of the regular force wore holding
parley when the rebels fred upon the troops,
wouuding one man. Another soldier had
his shoulder crushed in the retreat.
The express which arrived from Indepen-
denco at Kansas City, at 10 o'clock Friday
morning, announces that Capt. Holloway,
chief of the rebel forces, was killed by his
own men accidently, together with fourteen
men in the fire on the federal troops yester
day. It seems that while the officers oI
the regulars were holding parley with the
rebels, the latter attempted to outhank them
but did not succeed. The regulars retired
in good order. The rebels had Z pieces o.
cannon in the fight and fred few rounds
But one shot was fred by the regular troops

OHIO Troops I'M the FIeId.

Much misapprehension prevails respecting the
Ohio troops, and the Cincinnati Commercial de-
clares that only two regiments are now in the
service. This is true of the U. S. troops from
Ohio. But Ohio has organized nine regiments
of three months troops, and they are distributed
as follows: The l4tb, Col. Steedman, is adj
vancing beyond Phillippi; l5th Col. Andrews,
is beyond Grafton the l6th Col. Irvine is at
Grafton and Phllippa; the 18th, Col. Connell
is under marching orders; the 18th, Col. STAN
ley, is guarding the Railroad between Parkers-
burg and Grafton; the l9th Col. Beatty, is un-
der marching orders; the 20th Col. Morton, is
guarding the Railroad from Benwood to Graf
ton; the 2lst, Col. Norton is at Gallipolis; the
22d, Col. Gilmore, is at ParkeTsburg.
These regiments are all armed and equipped
and good uniforms have been issued to supply
those which proved defective.
We do not understand why certain Journal
lists willfully discredit the efforts of the State
authorities to put our forces on the best footing
and refuse to recognize the promptness of these
movements. That they saved Western Virginia
is certain, and yet the people are made to be-
lieve the most absurd stories-and that not n
step has been taken at Columbus TO advance the
cause which all should advocate alike. Time
will correct these misrepresentation. but it is n
disgrace to journalism that fault finding is more
dear to some than the honest truth.--O. s. Jour
