resolutions of Thanks.

Col James Z. Blythe, to whom they we're
sent by Brigade Major Love, has handed
us the following resolutions, which were
passed by the delegates to the Wheeling
Convention. They demonstrate that the
people of Western Virginia fully appreciate
the efforts of the Government in protecting
them, and handsomely compliment the
troops which were ordered to their assist
ance:
ResoIped That the thanks of the Loyal
people of Virginia, are due and are hereby
rendered to the Federal authorities, for the
prompt manner in which they have respond
ed to our call for protection
Resolred, That We tender our thanks to
Mai Gen. Mcclellan for rescuing from the
destruction and spoliation inaugurated by
the rebel forces in our midst, the people Of
North Western Virginia included within
his military division.
ResoEped. That the gallant and soldierly
bearing of the troops from Ohio and Indi-
ana. who with our own gallant lst Regi-
ment, commanded by Western Yirginia's
loyal son, Col. Kelly, have scattered the
rebel forces in our midst, has won our adj
miration, and we gladly hail them as our
delfverers from the ruin and slavery provi-
ded for US by the conspirators, who have,
temporarily, possession of the power of the
State.
Resozred, That we deeply sympathize
with our fellow citizen, Col. Kelly, in his
sufferings from the wound received in our
service, and earnestly pray that he may be
speedily restored to nerfe.t 9eaitb cd -
resume MS command at the head OF our
own 1st Regiment.
Resolued, That we utterly repudiate the
Heresy sought to be inculcated by seces-
sionists, that it is an invasion of Virginia's
soil, for American troops to march to the
defence and protection of Yirginia's citizens,
but on the contrary we declare Virginia
soil to be American soil, and free to the
march of American soldiery and sojourn of
American citizens, from all and every
portion of American territory and it is
only by such recognition that the Federal
authorities could discharge plain consti
tutional duty, imposed upon them by the
clause of guaranteeing to each Stale in the
Union, Republican form of government.

Movements in western virginia.

Yesterday was great day in Bellair.-
The news having gone abroad OF the arri-
val of four or FIVE thousand troops, and also
of the fleet to transport them, the town was
filed with people, who hocked in from the
country to witness the embarkation. A
large number of gentlemen went down
from this city, on the steamer Venango, a
squad of whom sang the Star Spangled
Banner upon approaching the landing,
and were heartily cheered by the soldiers on
the decks of the steamers.
On Sunday, there were three regiments
of Ohio Volunteers at Bellair, of ], 900 men
each the 26th, Col Morton, the 18th, Col.
Beatty, and the 7th, Col. Connel. Three
companies of the Goth left on Sunday, and
will be stationed along the line of the road
between Remington and Grafton. Five
companies more left yesterday for the same
purpose.
The fleet, which is TO convey the troops
down the river, will be under the command
of Capt William KoOntz, an old and expe-
rienced steamboatman, and will consist OF
the following steamers kenton, Anglo
Saxon, Diadem, Venango, Mariner, Mary
Cook, Hastings, Eunice, Marnora, Econo-
my, Sir William Wallace and the Emma.
It was expected that !arge body OF
troops, perhaps two more regiments, would
arrive last night, though nothing is posi-
lively known. The movements are very
properly conducted with great degree Of
secrecy, and nothing could be ascertained-
certainly ascertained-thOugh the feet had
made no preparations to move, and the
twelve or thirteen steamers are known to
be capable of carrying three times as many
men as were quartered on both sides last
evening" Wheeling LatelligeHcsT.

his force was armed and not more
than 200 participated in the eight
He has gone forward to overtake and con-
cult with Capt. lotion. Some of Jackson 8

they could, and destroying the rest and

GOV. jackson in a Dilem m a 3.

special dispatch to the Missouri Demo-
crat has the following concerning the W here
abouts of Gov. Jackson:
JEFFERSON CITY, June 20, II P. N.
Two gentlemen, vel! known and entirely
reliable, have Just arrived here from SYRIA
cuse They state that Ex-Governor Jack
son and Gen. Parsons were in Syracuse
when they left, with about 700 troops.
These men saw jackson and conFersed
with him, so that there can be no doubt
about it. They say he looks bad-siek, pale,
and haggard- and has evidently not Tecov-
cred from his terror-strieken experience of
Monday.
He is in a most deplorable dilemma, and
does not know what 10 do.
The troops are under no discipline, and
great dissatisfaction is manifested among
them. They are almost destitute of proVis-
ions, and amid the general confusion, large
numbers are deserving and returning to
their homes.
No general orders had been issued up to
the time my intOrmants left
The steamer J. c. Swon has jBI arrived
here with Col. Almstedt and SIX hundred
men on board, all in good health and spirits.

SPECIAL TO THE POST.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-A party of the
rebels came to the Potomac last night and
attempted to fire the bridge. They were
fred upon by our troops. Three or E~~e
were Killed and number wounded. The
balance nineteen in number, were taken
prisoners, and are now at the arsenal. The
rebels were provided with powder and
matches to destroy the bridge. The num-
Der killed is probably exaggerated.
All the army surgeons connected with
regiments were ordered over the Potomac
last night
The War DEPARTMENT has discovered fe-
male secessiCnists carrying on regular cor
respondence with Beauregard via Mount
Vernon.
The National Republican of this morning
says it is probable Congress will place
means at the disposal of the President tor
the colonization of such of our colOIed peO-
pie as desire to emigrate to Hayti and that
the contraband slaves now held by the fed
eral troops will be included in this measure.

From the haste manifested in order to
keep a large body of troops concentrated
at the capital the people can hardly avoid
the conclusion that the rebels are threaten
ing that city and that it is in great danger
of being destroyed. We presume, however,
the Governor will take all needful precau-
ton and keep a sufficient force on hand to
insare its safety.

The fact can not be denied that Beaure-
gard is rapidly approaching Washington
The Confederate pickets have advanced

east and north of the Junction, and has
large bodies of men placed in such position
as to watch and make a foray npon and
break up General McDowell's lines Every
body is on the move. TIE troops are all
ready 10 march at a moments warning.
Several regiments arrived from the North
to-day / am satisfied that they have not
come too soon.
1t appears that the Confederates at the Vi
emma fight had been at their battery in full
force, but getting tired with waiting, the
main body had returned to Vienna, while a
portion of one company remained with the
guns, which were broken and had only sew
en- charges. If this had not so happened,
fear that but few of the Ohio boys that
were in that Railroad cut would ever have
returned to their homes.
Ex-Lieutenant Randolph, the identical
individual who pulled General Jacksons
nose, was arrested to-day for uttering sedi-
tious sentiments He WAS ptied on ac-
count of his age, and released on secu-
