from the Wheeling IntGligeaeer, goth ]
A gentleman just froEa Charleston, heaa-
wha. recently arrived at Po:at Pleasant, briug-
ing ihe latest intelligence Of the operations Of
fhc rebels in thas place aud its surroundings.
There Was no rebel troops in Charleston at
the time he left, except Jenkiua' cavalry, who
were prnwling through the country, hnatlng
down Union men, s.ealiug horses, Dc. Toe
body Of their army had lett some days before.
They had taken several days' fatioas with
tht n, together with their sick 2ad wounded,
and all their effects, and had hurrlad.y re-
treated up the valley, toward GlnleY, fessing
the impression that they were going into the
Valley of Virginia, to reinforce Gen. Lee at
Winchester. Prominent rebel citizars who
have taken an active part with them we're
oleo leaving in the same direction. Whether
they were Tetrsating from the valley, after COL
lec1ine all the available hoEees and property,
or whether, relying upon the uniform slow
ness OF federal o1eiations-they were golng
to aid in some important operation o. Lees
expecting to get back in time to meet any I'd,
vance up the Kacawha; Of whether they al
BECOME s1arnled for taeir safety in the rear,
arc coniectu1 es, Of the truth Of which nobody
could learn.
1t is possible that Lee, finding himself s3re'y
in need Of troops, may have csi'ed lorinE -
his ASSISTANCE, snppos!ng Jenksa6' forces sui
ticient to hu!d the valley for the present.

THE ATROCITIES NEAR RoMNEY.

We continue to receive isays the Richmond
Enquirer) combinations of the extraordinary at
rocties perpetrated by the enemy on their retreat
from Romney. Many of these have been detailed
in letters already published. An officer OF Ashbys
cavalry personally we'll known to US, after relating
their fendish destruction of Col. Blues houses,
cows hogs, and even his dogs; and how they
killed a poor shoemaker and burned his house
over his corpse, and burned every house along the
road except four and would have burned both
Romney and Springfield but for some of their
oficers-adds the following 1t cro,cns list of
deeds which, if charged on the veriest catiff on
earth, ought to tinge his cheeks with shame! Yet
this is the way the North wins us back to the
Union! -~ s~~~--
'sTbe cottage of an unprotected widow and her
children was fred over their heads. 1t was night,
and she snatched her little children from their
bed, where they were sleeping, and rushed with
them out of doors N their night clothes. Return
ing again she took some blankets and wrapped
their shivering forms, but the Williams, with a
"d-n your secesh souls to h--ll, y tore the
blankets off the poor little things, aud committed
them to the flames. Not even the wood pile was
left without burning.
Now, | want the world, but more particularly
want the soldiers Of the Confederate States to
know and, when opportunity offers, want them
TO remember, that the 18th Ohio regiment and the
Northwest Virginia cdvdhy were, with the en-
couragement and approval of Col. Dunning, the
perpetrators of these deeds. Vengeance even to
humiliation, will hardly suffice to pacify the re-
sentiment occasioned by the conduct of the mis-
creants who ran from men, but fought women and
children"

ARM AND RESIST.

The critical period of the struggle between the
North and the South is rapidly approaching
The first two or three months of Spring may de-
eide the question of independence or subjugation.
The South has everything staked on the issue.
If beaten and compelled to surrender, we shall
lose our property of every kind and our liberty,
and thousands of our people will be hung as
traitors In short, shall be utterly ruined; for
our Northern brethren have but too clearly
shown, during the past year, a depth of hatred
which no ordinary plumet line sound. They
believe they will be rendering God service to
" wipe" US from the very face of the earth; and
under the operation of their confscation laws,
those who might escape the sword or the halter,
would only gain the fate of hated out casts
driven in herds from place to place to starve, or
to drag out miserable existence beneath the re-
vikings, SCOTS, and oppression of insolent and un-
principled robbers 1t would be better for US, as
a people, tina: the last man, woman and child
should fall by the sword, .han that we should
allow ourselves to be brought under the dominion
of our Northern assailants. 1t would be better
to terminate our existence in bravely defending
our rights, than to fall from the estate of freenen
into the degradation we would be subjected to by
the bigoted and insolent foe with whom we are
contending
But if we will continue true to cause and
to ourselves there is little reason to fear. God
helps those who help themselves; and His con
tinued favor will crown our continued efforts just
in proportion exert ourselves with due refer.
