NIean Spirited Comments on tho n I,Ox,o
ny the wheeling Press OF Yesterday,
On Monday morning VIC hastily threw
together some suggestions relative to the
Importance OF the Baltimore aud Ohio
railroad to Western Virginia, aud urged
that 1T ought to receive all the fostering
care that the Legislature of Virginia could,
consistently bestOw upon it. Knowing the
prActlcatility, the vigilance and integrity
OF our Legislature, we deemed the few
ideas thus thrown Oat by US sulIfcient-
we based these suggestions, furthermore,
upon the principle that our Legislature
represents the Whoie State of Virginia.
We were a little surprised, however, on
Tuesday morning, to fud our neighbor of
the IntclityeRcer out in long article on the
same subject, in which he took especial
pains to use his stereotyped phrase of
"hcuon, when applied to the extent of
powers of the Legislature, and, also, to
somewhat lmpugn the honest motives of
those OF that body who might deem ittheir
duty to vote in favor of the Pennsylvania
railroad bill.
As it regards the "Gction" of our re-or-
ganIZed State Government, our neighbor
should be extremely careful how he uses
the term. He prides Himself as being the
Alpha andOmcga ofthe Ne,o State question,
and II the authority OF the Legislature j S
fictitious, then all the proceedings relative
to his cherished scheme of "cutting loose
from Eastern Virginia" is n hoax and n
humOug. The division could not be valid.
1t the power which is exercised to effect
the division is fictitious, then the acts are
void and OF no effect in law or equity. To
make the acts of the Convention, now in
session, valid, the Legislature must be the
Legislature ofVirginia. 1t must be deemed
as possessing powers co-extensive with the
whole State. To argue otherwise would
be making every act done by the Legisln-
ture or Convention nugatory. Tic vitali-
ty of the actions of this Legislature eman-
0tes from the fact that the re-organiZed
Government of this State, is the G0yern-
mat of the State. Everything depends
upon this principle. Itis consummatc folly
to argue otherwise. If it be true that it is
a "Eiction" then why this mockery of leg
isIN.ion and this sham Convention2 Why
e%pend so much money, if the authority OF
that body which directs the amount to be
expended and the manner in which it shall
be done, is fictitious and all fleeing shad-
ow?
The slv fling at the Legislature that it is
too imPOtent to discern the true interest of
the State, is not in good taste. Our neigh
Dor is strickler for taste, and hence our
surprise Mt the insnuation. We ethought a
mere suggestion as to the Importance OF the
subject wns sufficient for our worthy mem
bers of this body. We think so still. We
verify believe the interest of the State is
sale in its hands. We really hope that we
mistake the design of our neighbor in the
article. 1t is not possible that he would,
for moment, impugu the motiucs of those
who advocate, and who may vote adverse
ly to what nearly all deem the true and
plain interest of the State. Charity is a
jewel. Let us all exercise it to its fullest
extent.

Two local interests, which of itself
W0utu demand its defeat We think it
uoes. And certainly when one of these
local interests is in our own State. and
when it proves itself the injured marty or
the party sought to be injured, by breach
of faith at the hands of Il foreign cornoro-
ton, 1t can not be doubted that it will re-
ceive protection. On this ground alone
the defeat of the bill might be rested.
It's passage involves most w0nton viola
ton OF contract. And the CITY of Wheel
ing, as one of the parties deeply interested.
would have ground to feel herself most
unn&tur"lly and uniustly dealt with
were the bill nos defeated. And she
would have cause to entertain anxious
apPrehensions of all future legislation in
the new State.
But the defeat of the bill does not rest
upon local foundations. 1t rests upon iu-
terests as wide almost as the new State.
For all practical purposes, VIC may say en-
tlrel y rs wide. Happily We do not, in any
Intelligent view, find ourselves ut vnriencc

one in interest. From the Kanawha to the

1t is true-viZ: and that our counties have
no interest i'll playing into the hands of the
pennsylvania road. Whatever interest in
railroads they have, is in the Baltimore

representative can afford to vote away that
interest, or to vote even to weaken it.
We confess to some feeling of humilia-
ton IN considering this question to the Ak
tent We have. 1t would seem to indicate
to outsiders that VIC have a legislature il,

WESTON LEWIS Co. VA, Jan. IL.
Editors Lnte2tgencer:
Several articles in your daily issue have
came to my notice, purporting to give cor
rect account OF the late engagement at SUIT
Ton between Company K. of the First Vir-
glnia Cavalry, and II detachment of secesh
regulars and Moccasin Rangers, all of
which have fallen short of giving the factsin
the case. This, think, is not Justice; and
for the purpose of informing our friends in
Wheeling and vicinity of the facts as they
dld occur, and ut the same time to do ius
tlce TO ourselves, this statement, which Won
can rely on, is given.
On the morning ofSunday, Dec 90, we
were aroused from our usual quiet ION
that day) by the discharge of several guns
from the hillside north of town, the bullets
whlstling down the streets in all dircc-
quarters on "doub!e quick" No sooner
had the alarm been given, than Lieutenant
Dawson-the then acting commander of
the post-cnme cooIy riding up street with
the command, ''to horse, to horse pre-
pare for action |" Scarcely had the COM
mald been given until all the boys were
ready for action. Our first break was for
the entertainments commanding the town
knowing that if they were lost, all was lost
as they had the advantage of US on ali
sides, they being under cover of woods
while we were in an almost entirely I'm
protected situation.
The entertainments were gained under y
severe fire from the hillside, but without
DONG any damage. Upon examination it
was ascertaincd that our ammunition was
so scarce that it was deemed prudent that
we should hold the entrenchments alone,
knowing that ii accommodating party was
sent out, and they got into All engagement
we hau neither men nor ammunition 10
support them. Consequently our whole
force. numbering seventy-live men, remain
cd inside the entrcnchments 1t must be
remembered that several of the bows were
sick, and others on: on scout and other
duties, so that our force was reduced to
the above number
But with that number we kept them at
bay, although they were firing Mt us from
all accessible points from ten A. n. until
five p. NJ, when our ammunition gave out
ana we were forced to retrcnt. which was
done in good order. The Lieutenant did
not fire the commissnry as was stated, but
probably would have done so Lad he not
expected ammunition in IL train Of wagons
which was due that evening, when we
would have returned and held the post
until driven out by force. But rs i'll luck
would have it, when we met the train a
mile or two from town, they had no ammu-
milton, so nothing was left for US to do but
take up our line of march for this place,
which we reached on the day following,
bringing the train with US. We have since
learned that there were four hundred op
posed to us, two companies of regulars and
three of Mnccosins, also that we killed four
and wounded seven w

The Proclamation.

The Administration announces through
the newspaper correspondents that 1t still
adhcres to the Emancipation Proclama,
ton. Perhaps this defiance OF the pop.
nlar will should be expected from an ad-
ministration which came into power by
the votes Of ouly about one-third of the
people Of the United States. 1t is a
fact that every State--eXcept one, which
has furnished member of the Admins
tration-has either emphatically declared
against, or is notoriously against the
Proclamation.
Illinois, the home OF tho President, has
emphatcally declared against it. So has

and so is Maryland, the home Of the

confidently believe will declare against it.

leading to a ruptur' Of relations, merely
informs the French Minister, in advance,
that it is ready to back down to any ex-

complaints will be made as a bar to this
