says:
Clemens of Virginia, made a Union
speech, which completely overwhelmed
aud stunned the Secessionists lie, of
course, treated the Republicans to a
Democrats opinion of that party, and

strong terms Of denuuciation, but when
he attacked secession aud showed his

the loss consequent upon dissolution aud
the formation OF two separate Con'edcra-
ces, there aas an intense excitement on
the Democratic size In the midst Of
this his hour expired, and upon an at
tempt to extend his time, boisterous
scene occurred, which at one time threat
ened a row. Martin of Virginia, aud
Rust of Arkansas, attacked Clemens bit

"a Louisiana passed the secession

that the worst has passed. There has

JUL AobJ AOOA"
DEAR LEADER We left Clarksburg, Va,
at 8 O'Clock A. N. Thursday last, on a forced
march for this place. which had that day
been taken by a part of the Secession army.
Having gone Is miles we cam pedR and learn
cd that the army had sacked the town and
left. Saturday at 9 o'clock P. NJ, intelli-
gence came that the Southern army were
advancing this way. We struck tents and.
we're on march by 10 o'clock, reached here
Saturday morning, q distance of 90 miles,
found the place nearly deserted, though this
morning the Union citizens were returning,
they having been driven out by thu seces-
~sionists last week. We now learn that the
enemy are eneamped 80 miles FROM here in
the mountsiAs, where they are fortifying
themselves strongly. They are about 5000
strong. We lave taken several secession
prisoners as we marched through the coun-
try. An attempt was made at our last camp
by the secessionists 10 poison the 18th Regi-
ment. Several came near dying.
We march sgsin to-day or tomorrow for
the mountains. The Union troops are about
5000 strong within 30 miles of us. Our
boys were disappointed in not having en-
engagement here. When we End q seces-
sion house we help ourselves to all the good
things we can find. G. B. Y.
