Shaken to their utmost bound
Men their terror i'll dissemble,
Dread and panic spread around
There's no prophet now to call us
To behold in vision true,
What events will soon befal us
Wait, and see what God will do.
Christian, wait-the muttcling thunder
Gathering on the sky afar,
Need not Bring dismay or wonder,
Doubt or fright, or palld fear
Stay your soul on His protection,
He will guide you safely through
Danish every sad Objection
Wait, and sec what God will do.

IessrS. Editors InteLliqencer:
The treaehery and per6dy of secession.
lists in Eastern. Virginia, and the struggle
in the Western part of the State, for ltber-
| ~ and the Constitution, have reminded
me that Virginia Ia my native State, and
Ohio my country. Siuce this struggle
began, have been watching with deep
interest your movements, and eagerly bave
l perused every article giving any informa.
ton with regard to Western Virginia, aud
With regard to Wheeling especially. Your
cause is JUST too long has Western Vir-
GINA been oppressed by the apostate sons
of the East; and now is the time for you
to vindicate your honor and maintain your
rights. You hnve protested AgIissL their
vile proceedings; you have denounced the
dnmnable heresy of secession edrhsStEg; you
have boldly asserted your loyalty to the
Union and the Constitution; you have
Hvowed your affection for tue glorious old
Stars and Stripes, while they with the
balance of power uniuslly gained, have
treated you with scOrn aud contempt
But fOrbearance has ceased to be II virtue;
and now rs your voice has been dire
garded, you are preparing to strike blow
that will strike terror to the hearts of
traitors, and make foul treason stand
aghast The position assumed by the
people of Western Virginia, presents Indeed
noble spectacle, challenging the Rdmira-
ton and symputhy of all the true patriots
in the land. In Kentucky especially
we who are fighting the battle of
the Union, can fully appreciate your
troubles AS for myself, my heart is with
you, and my hope is that your efforts may
be crowned with success Let the line be
drawn between the West and the East; let
loyalty be separated from treNSon; let
people whose motto is integrity, be scpara-
ted from traitors; let those who love law
and order, have no dealings with those
who have trampled the Constitution and
the flag of their country in the dust, and
who now recognize the modern AQron Burr
aus their political head.
Here, thank Heaven! secessiOnists cam
not show their faces. The reaction has
heen wonderful in favor Of the Union
The Union men are becoming bold and
fearless. We see what has been done in
Virginia and Tennessee, and we nre deter
mined that traitors shall not play the
same game with US. We tell, them that
they are tcn-fold worse than AbOlitiOnists,
as the policy to be inaugurnieh by them
would evcnluNte in the burning of our
towns and cities, the laying wnsIe of our
country, the wiping out of the institution
OF slavery in less than ten years, and the
destruction of every thing that we hold
dear. Union military companies are or
gdnized nll over the State, and arms are
now being received, With which we intend
TO defend our homes ana iiresides. Let
sCcessiunists iuaugurute the strife in Ken
lucky, aud true and pure men from the
border counties and from the mountains,
from :he North add from the South, from
every part of tue State, will raise tue shout
for the Union, and will put down the de-
stroyers of our peace, aud the would be
murderers of our wives and children.
Very truly, you're, Aqua.

The Wheeling Convention In June.
| Tomorrow Virginia takes a vote on
Secession and other important questions,
and If, under the influence Of the bayOnet
aud mob law, the lot OF that once proud
aud free State shall be cast in with the new
DAhomey, then those who are opposed to
such an iguoble and ignominious fate will
meet at Wheeling on the l1th OF June, TO
take counsel together as to tue best policy
TO adopt under the circumstances. This
Convention will be attended by delegates
from counties East of the mountains, and
the Convention will be urged to declare
the conduct of the authorities of Rich
mond an nLdicution of all Legitimate power,
their acts usurpaIionS, and the actors rebels
aud traitors. Instead of dividing the State,
the paliey will he proposed Of forming a
Provisional Government for the whole
State and an election will be proposed for
Governor aud State officers. These meas
ures will be sustained by all the powers of
the General Government, and will be n
safe course of proceeding, avoiding the
ugly appearance Of Initiating, on a small
scale, the illegal and unconstitutional
secession of the Rsbel States.
THE same paper Of later data says;
Amer Tomorrow Thursday the Union
men of Northwestern Virginia will need
effective Profession. They are to hold their
Wheeling Convention shortly, and it il
highly important that they should be free
TO go and come, aud act ut will. One OF
the first acts of the Government after hos.
tilities have broken out, shonld be to seize
add bold the Baltimore and Ohio Road
Il San be made of infinite service TO MS.
and Of damage to the other side. The next
step we will hear, Ii preventive measures
are not taken, will he a secession advance
on Wheeling. We presume, of course, that
the election Tomorrow will be made
strongly for secession. If Pennsylvania
is to hove foreign and hostile country
at her very doors, she ought to be making
arrangements accordingly.
The Chronicle is right about the duty Of
Pennsylvania. She ought at once TO put
strong forces on her line bordering the
Northwestern Virginia counties, and be
ready at moments warning to cooperate
with the forces in Virginia and in Ohio, in
any movement, that may be deemed expe=
dent, on the secession marauders who
now infest Feltermnn and vicinity. We
call upon the people of Washington and
Greene counties, Pa, to move ut once in
as large bodies rs possible down on tho
line, and be ready at the favorable mo-
nent to strike an effective blow. There is
no doubt but that the secession scoundrels
intend to try to over-awe the people and
prevent the Convention called for the Ilth
of June.
