BnJa. GEN. HENRY A. WISE.
A seathInG hut m ost - enteel Take on
ON his NJ Hilary ProyvesE--HIs Speech
and his Flight Contrnsted.
Prom the Niiional Intelligencer.I


Our readers will remember that We were
called to report few days ago that Brig
adler General Henry y. Wise, commanding
u norton of the Confederate forces in
7 Northwestern Virginia, had fed without
fight from Gauley Bridge, and, when
| last beard from, was proceeding on his re-
| treat towards Lewisburg, in Greenbrier
| county, where it was expected he would
await reinforcements. 1t was added that
in his retreat he.was careful to fell trees
across the highway that he might not be
overtaken by the Union forces under the
command OF Gen. Cox
We presume our readers were hardly pre-
pared TO lind in Gen. Wise such u striking
illustration of that better part of valor
which consists in discretion. There were
malicious wngs who, remembering that life
is short and Wise is long, surmised that he
might attempt 10 worry and exhaust the
people of Western Virginia by addressing
to them letter at the sight of whose pro-
lixity almost any army might be dispersed,
but that he would ever "retiren before the
presence of an enemy was supposed TO be
Excluded from the category OF things pos
sible. And this latter supposition rested
not only on general convictions with re-
gard 10 his martial anteccdeuts, but on
some particular views to which he had
given utterance just before proceeding to
take command OF the Confederate troops in
Northwestern Virginia. az
It viii be within. the recollection of
many among our readers that, at seren-
ade with which he was honored in Rich-
mond on the I'd OF last June, Gen. Wise
held the following Tyrtean language:
81 rejoice in this war. Who is there
that now dares to put on sanctity to de-
precate war or the'hOrrid glories of war p
None. Why Because il is a war of
publication. You want war. FIRE, blood,
TO purify YOU; and the Lord Of Hosts has
demanded that you should walk through
IRE and blood. You are called to the fiery
baptism, and call upon you to come Up
to the altar. Though your pathway lie
through fire or through a river of blood,
turn not aside.
"Be in no haste; no hurry and furry.
Collect yourselves, summon yourselves, ell
eyatc yourselves TO the high and sacred
duly OF patriotism. The man who dares
70 pray; the man who dares to wait until
some magic arm is put into his hand the
man who will not go unless he has n
Ninie or percussion musket, who will
not be content with flint aud steel, or
even gun without a lock, is worse than
coward; he is u renegade. If he can do
no better, go to blacksmith, take n gun
along as sample, and get him to make
you one like it. Geta spear lance. Take
aslessUn from John Brown. Manufactures

THE Chicago Journal has special re-
porter carefully inspecting the grain grow
ing regions OF Illinois, to ascertain the
trne state of the crops in that State; the
result has been most satisfactory He says
that the spring wheat sown in the central
part Of tho State has produced remarka-
bly, good yield. At no harvest since 1855
has Central nlincis been so blessed with
such large yield of wheat as the present
year. The prospect for corn is as good as
ever before. In many portions of the
State corn at the crib is as cheap as coal at
the mine, and Is being burned for fuel by
the farmers. Recently, near Springfield,
10000 bushels sold at railroad station
where it was carefully eribbed and eonven-
lent for shipping, at six cents per bushel.

rgrom the National Intcilgenecr.I
While the Hon. Jefferson DAVIS was Sec
Rotary of War under President Pierce it
will he remembered that tue Territory of
Kansas was the theatre of grave political
controversies, finally degrneratiug into
civil feud. The contest arose amoug the
GdherenJs of two Legislatures respectively
assuming to represent the people of that
Territory. The body sitting at Lecomp:on
was recognised by the Administration of
Mr.. Pierce as the only legitimate deposit
tories of the legislative powers capable of
being exercised under the organic ACT con-
stituting the Territory. The body sitting
at Topeka was regarded us revolutionary,
and, rs such, deserving to be dispersed by
the Federal authority. Under these cir
cumstances it was that on the Sd of Sep
tenber, 1856, Mr.. Secretary Davis wrote
as follows to Gen. Persifer f. Smith:
The position OF the insurgents Is that Of open re.
beilion against the laws aud Constitutional aulhori-
tics with such manifestations OF purpose to spread
devastation tbs land longer iusties furth
er hesitation or indulgence. Patriotism and human
ty alike require hdt REBELLION should be promptly
eTuthei.r
On the same day he made reguisition
on the Governor of Kentucky for two regi-
ments to be mustered into the service, and
to be mt the call of Gen. Smith.
Then it was right to put down "rebel-
lion ny arms, and to march militia from
other States to aid in enforcing the laws.
