WASHINGTON. Friday, June Z, 1861.


We learn from IA prominent politician, who
has just arrived from Wheeling, what will be
the probable course OF the Convention which
meets on the llth inst. ALI the leading men
have agreed not to attempt TO make new State
out of Western Virginia, but to act tor the Old
Dominion, as whole, setting up Provisional
Government in place of that which has, by re-
Dellion, abdlcated its powers. The first act OF
the Convention will be to depose Gov. Letcher
and his rebcllous associates. 1t will then ap-
point good and true men in their places. The
Provisional Governor will probably be Gen.
jackson, of Parkersburg. The Convention will
then declare Eastern Virginia i'll state OF in
surrecton against the General Government,
from which aid to put down the rebellion will
be invoked. The Legislature chosen on the 23d
uit, the members of which are, by its request,
to meet with the Convention, will be pronounced
the legally elected Legislature OF the State. and
will be empowered 10 proceed at once to the
transaction of business. The Governor will send
in his message to the two Houses, and two Sen
ators, OF whom John S. Carlisle will probably be
one, and leading Republican the other, will
be chosen.
In this plan of operation Messrs. Carlisle,
Wiley, Pierp0nt and Jackson will unite. Our
informant thinks that the Convention will be one
of the grandest popular assemblages ever called
together. the leaders are few. Behind them
are the people, numerous and united. In this
movement lies the hope and salvation of the
Old Dominion. Through its action, in CO, opera
ton with that OF the Federal Government, she
will be transformed from a wholesale negro.
trader into great commonwealth. The senti'
ment of Western Virginia is represented to be
all one way. In 80 counties out of "a, 600 free
votes, all but 1000 were tor the Union. No trail
tors are allowed to plot treason now. The polls
are examined, and every voter for Secession is
led, without violence, with the utmost kindness,
to the Court House, where he is required to take
the oath of allegiance to the United States
Til re are very few who have not taken it by
this time.-[Specinl Dispatch to the N. 7. Tri-

Mr.. EDIroR:-For the first time in my life, l
am compelled to dissent from the resolves OF the
Democracy of my country. II read right the
resolutions passed by our late County Conven-
tinn, our glorious old party are therein pledged
to an active support of the unconstitutional and
aggressive .toray, by which Lincoln, Seward,
Chase, l. Co., ARE about to visit one half the Un-
ion with fire sword and famine!
II is my Judgment, that this ruthless crusade
against the South is party war, got up by party
for the benefit OF pdrty--and is smpiy and pure
ly wicked and diaboical attempt OF Abolition
Republican leaders, to propagate and establish
their party dognas, at the point OF the bayonet
lnstead OF being a war on 6ehdlf OF the Union,
it is destructive of its fundamental principle and
the only means, under heaven, by which the Un-
ion can be utterly destroyed.
For twenty five years have breasted this Ab.
olition fan aticsm which underlies "Republican
organization, and have continuously asserted my
solemn convictions, that its official installation
at Washington would subveIt the Union of th
States; and now, that its consummation is upon
U.s. and its fell spirit is about to precipitate upon
our country the direst calamity which human
agency can infict, we are modestly invited to
surrender lifelong convictions, and help to swell
the chorus Of merciless partisan, partisan wal
upon our own countrymen, under the aimsy pre-
text that the existence of the goverDmen! Is en-
dangered
Others may cry aloud for war, and pat Mr.
Lincoln On the back when he usurps the wal

men as a posse eonitatus! and adds twenty-five
thousand to the reg,aar army (! aud blockades
the ports OF States which are within the Union
while he purposely postpones the meeting OF Con
gress until he can get all his war machinery in

s.. WASHINGTON, Friday, June Z.
Our friend from Wheeling talked with an eye
witness of the Phiiiippi rout. The Indiana COL
umn came within sight OF the rebel encainp-
III. mt at D Il. IN. No picket guard gave alarm
none appeared to have been thown out. The
rebels were sleeping more soundly than usual, IN
con sequence of the ABSORPTION, on the previous
da,, OF three or tour barrels of whisky, seized
on neighborug farm The first warning of
the columns approach was cannon ball, which
carried away the top of the tents Officers
and men, half dressed, took to their heels and
horses. Had not the assailants been exhausted
by "a hours march in heavy rain, their pur-
suit would have been closer and more successful
than was possible under the circumstances. In
the tents and along the road which the fugitives
ran, were found l 400 pistols, upward OF 500
stand of arms, and large quantity of hats, caps
unito,m m trowsers epaulets and carpet sacks, Ill
one of which was found $500. The roll which
was also found showed that the whole number
of the rebels in camp was ,e40. Only 10 were
killed.
The inhabitants of the town, who had been
driven away by the traitors, soon locked home'
wards, telling Of their prosecutions. Young
women aud children had been Tor two days in
the woods. Farmers had been robbed of their
produce, never receiving any pay. Two hunds
red sheep had been taken from one. A forced
loan Of S25, 600 had been demanded OF the
bank at Paramount, and was to have been paid
two hours after the payees fed. Men were
| frightened into the rebel service by assertions
that If caught by the federal armies their heacs
would lie on the block. For their deliverers the
the people were ready to do ANYTHING. They re-
fused to accept payment for milk and other pro
duce, which they forced upon them. Every
where the patriot soldiers were welcome Every
where the patriot Virglnians were eager to Jo'r
the ranks. The strongest feeling against sena

The movement on 7Philippi, last night, was
caused by a report that the rebels were gather
ing at Beverly, with reinforcements and artil
lery, and were going to attack Phillippi Eight
hundred Of our forces, under Capt. IBenham,
marched all night and entered the place about
davbreak.---
They found everything quiet Scouts are out
looking for the enemy, but no attack is now ap-
pretended. 1t is supposed the rebels are utter
ly dis6rganized, and that no considerable force
is in Western Virginia now Fifteen dead bodies
we're found in a thicket at Philhppi, into which
the Indianans had discharged Mimic Rifles after
the fight of the rebels. 1t is supposed many
more were killed or seriously wounded.
1t Is now known that the rebels expected an
attack on Saturday night, and had anq ambush
capitallyi prepared. Gen. Morris scouts were,
however, too much for them, -.
The Secessonsts think there are about 20,-
900 troops here Nobody seems to make it his
duty to correct this report. Gen, Norris is at
Phillippi to-day. He will be back this evening.

PETITION FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF SLAVES By
GOVERNMENT A petition to Congress has been
placed at the Merchants Exchange in Boston,
for signatures, setting forth that a rebellion
,sainst the laws and Government of the United
Saes has for some time existed, and does
sl exist, calling for great expenditure of
treasure and imperiling our nation, while slave
" lies at the foundation of the trouble: and
hat i, is euinen.ly desirable that slavery should
b2 removed if possible, safely and with the grea-
test benefit to all classes in the community, and
pal parts of the country. 1t is therefore pro.
,sed by the petitioners that Government, as
beginning, shall purchase all the slaves in
MARYLAND, Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky, at
$500 apiece, making in the whole sum less
than $3.50, ,o00, 900, which is less than the sum
paid in single year to put down rebellion in
this country, They therefore, desire Congress
to pass law in accordance with the prayer Of
their petition

to which place had been with volunteer com

the Indians, who have literally desolated the en-.
tire State from San Antonia to the frontier
Every family that has had the means of esca-
ping has fed preciptately, leaving everything
behind, and such as were poor and without the
means of escape, have sought refuge in the fort
formerly occupied by the United States troops
This part of Texas, by the withdrawal of Gov
ernment protection, is now overrun bv lawless
bands of Indians, Mexicans and prowling Ameri.
can vagabonds, ruin staring the whole country
in the face and, unless the United States come
to our aid, the country is utterly worthless, as
