The Wheeling Inteigencer says, two regiments from
Ohio arrived at Parkcrsburg yesterday morning They
have six pieces Of artillery One regiment had already
passed up the northwestern Virginia road for Grafton
The 18th Ohio regiment left Benwood yesterday for
Grafton and the Indiana regiment left last evening"
All ofthe men are splendidly equipped They are now
doubtless quartered in Grafton along with the troops
which preceded them.
The Inteigencer, of the 1st inst, says:
Yesterday the 18th Indiana regiment left Benwood
for Grafton. The 9th regiment from the same State
crossed the river last evening" and will leave this morn
ing Brig. Gen. Morris, with bis staff were in the city
yesterday, well many other officers of the regi-
ments
The Intelgencer confirms the report we had by tel
egraph that the towE Of Grafton was occupied by the
enemy the soth ut The Virginia troops it appears
retired the 28th. It was supposed that they were
encamped in the vicinity of Phillppi in Barbour coun
ty. The enemy had quickly repaired the two burnt
bridges between Wheeling and Grafton so as to allow
the passages of the railroad
We learn from the Intelligencer that three men had
been arrested on the charge ofburnng the railroad
bridges. They were sent to Wheeling under guard
and thence transferred to Camp Garlic where they
were to await trial.
The Inelligencer gives account of the capture OF
two rifed cannon and lot of valuable ammunition al
Sistersville Va by armed force of the enemy from
Wheeling. The cannon were deposited at camp Car

throughout Europe, turns her eyes towards
Mexco-tor what purpose, the extract below from the
London Times Of the 18th ult, will advise the reader
After speaking OF the instructions which had baen sent
to sir Charles Wykc the British minister in Mexico
giving programme by which the debts due to English
subjects be collected and paid of the custom

least be the prospect of It's finances being sustained
since even tie latter power would scarcely like to in
the sta OF conisCation by which she is at pres
ent degraded. OF course such a contingency as the
surrender of the republic to European State could not
arise except consequence OF ministerial Indifference
here, but the adrotw in which the seizure Of St.
Domingo has been contriyed suggests vigilance in every
quarter There is country to which Mexico herself
turns with such confidence to England, since she
knows tEat England only desires her independence and
growth but the last dregs Oanarchy having been drank,
it is plain that without support of some kind she will

Nov, as there is no country TO which Mexico her

doubt to thousands Of Mexcaus this proposed pro

no authority to extend the time allowed by the federal

mencement of the Blockade and that the delay would
expire on the 9th nst ana that vessels, under any
circumstances, would be allowed to enter.
In behalf Of the toWboat association, it was then de-
handed that in towing vessels out to sea the towboats
should be protected their return and allowed to enel

few days order was evoked out of chaos, the
freight and troops began to move off with
regularity and dispatch, officers and men
seem to be Infused with new spirit of
cheerfulness, and the grand forward move
ment may be said TO be fully under way.
From this encouraging condition of things
we are led to the conclusion that by the
first OF next week the federal columns will
be moving from Sedalia towards Lexington.
1t is anticipated in some quarters that our ad.
vance forces will be met by Gen. Price at or
near Warrensburg, but the more reasonable
conclusion would seem to be that the rebels
would make their only stand at Lexington,
where they are now now well fortified, and
where they can doubtless make their best fight.

LIEUT. Coz. HAwLEY, of one of the Con
nectieut regiments, has fallen in with one of
the scoundrels, "a Massachusetts fellow, who
has been using his Office of quartermaser as
source of dishonest profit. He belongs to
cdrahy regiment. In letter to the Hartford
Press, Col. Hawley says Gle draws from
the department full ralions of corned beef for
his men, and by either selling it and purchas
ing, or exchanging it for fresh beef, he con-
trves to pocket out of the difference about $40
per day, in defiance of the regulations. lie
offered to give one of our captains one of the
horses in his charge, saying that he would
make return of it to government as having
died. He sold bill of lumber and stuff
to one OF the Connecticut officers for $l3. and
offered 10 give receipt tor S33, in the name
of Some citizen, that the government might be
delrauded ont of $40. 1t is since ascer tanned
that the goods came from private house in
the vicinity. He Loasts that he can make
500 per day aud says they all make all they
can. The facts have been laid before quar-
termaster general NIeigs, with responsible
names and ,rences." lie is evidently liar
as well as thief eta such Massachusetts
fellows" walk the plank.
