The Clarksburg ResoIutiont.

The resolutions adopted BY the meeting
at ClarksburR, on Monday week as printed
in our letter from there in Fridays issue,
it now appears were very much like the
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out
Three of the most significant ones, for
some reason not yet fully understood, did
not appear. They were of such char"e-
ter that we feel bound as matter of jus
tice t. the people of Harrison, as well as
ourselves to make tho following state
meut.
The resolutions, nine in number, precise
~ as read and adopted by the meeting,
were sealed up NTH other MS in close
package, addressed to this office and de-
posted in the Clarksburg PostOfice on the
same evening they wero adopted. They
reached us Thursday evening, and were
published just as they came to hand Fri
day morning. Every one present at the
meeting Who has read the printed resolutions
sees that three of the most important ones
were left out, and that As thus mutilated
they were very tame indeed. Those three
resolutions did not come to hand, though
we have the most indubitable evidence
that they were mailed with tho rest. We
do not undertake to account for it, but
merely state the fact. If it be practicable
to get copies of them We will yet publish
these resolutions, in order that people out
there may have the credit they are euti-
tied to, Of expressing their opinions inde-
pendently. For the present we shall hsTe
to be conteut with stating the substAnees5
One commended the President of the. Uni
ted States for his integrity and patriotism
and approved his lately adopted policy
looking to moro vigorous prosecution of
the war.
Another endorsed the course of Senator
Wiley in regard to tho new State, and vo-
ted thanks to him and our members in the
House of Representatives, and to those
Senators and Representatives who co-ope-
rated with them 10 their efforts to secure
its admission. 1t also endorsed Governor
Peirpoint and approved his administration
and measures.
The other was in regard to Mr.. Carlile.

done in the right direction heretofore, and
acknowledged the full need of his past
services; but it declared that he had
abandoned his old principles, had be-
trayed his former friends, aud was no
longer to be regarded as their frieud-the
friend of the new State, or of the country.
Our impression is that this resolution
characterized Mr.. Carlile as ia traitor"
and it was this that so stirred up the wrath
Of his right bower, John ]. Davis.
All these resolutions, it will be seen.
point IN one direction and were very dis
tasteful to the adherents of Mr.. Carlile, who
had done all they could to hush up aud
smother any expression on the part of the
meeting. For this reason, if for no other,
We greatly regret that they miscarried and
did not obtain publicity with the others.

A Washington letter says: Mr.. Lincoln
declared to Ex-Governor Dennison, of
Ohio, on Saturday, that he wanted those
persons who had complained of him to know
that he now leaves everything of a military
nature in the hands of his leading General
81 found 1 must select one man," said
the President, "tocommand all the armies
of the United States, and though it may
be possible that Halleck is not a great
General, firmly believe he is the best
have got" He stated further, in the
course of his conversation, that Mr. Stan
ton had no more to do with military
than clerk. He is like
Secretary of War in time of peace-he
attends to all the duties of his Office, but
does not plan a campaign anywhere. This
is the way the rebels manage, and they
understand the science of government
better than we do. There can be no
question among reasonable men that in
selecting Gen. Halleck for the place he
occupies, the President did the best thing
he could do under oil the circumstances,

General Crineline vIctsrieusyy
Gencrat Alcohol Slain ~!

On Wednesday evening of last week
one of the most important battles Of the
war was fought at Bonaparte, Van Blu
rem County, lows. Gen. Crinoline, with
about twenty troops armed with the eele-
DRAFTED woodman' 8 weapon, commenced the
attack on the enemies camp in the enst
part of town at a point known AS the oil
Dpot. After short but desperate en-
gagenent the rebels, who had been com
pletely surprised, skedaddled, leaving
their entire camp and its contents in pos
session of the victorious assailauts. Then
commenced the work ofdemoli.ion. "Old
Rectifed'' and kindred spirits flowed like
water. Packs of cards which the enc
my had just been using broken barrels.
tumblers, &C., &C., were mingled in the
flowing tide, in glorious confusion. A
speedy march brought them to another
camp of the rebels. Here again they
were VICTORIOUS Notwithstanding the
shameful cooperation which the enemy
received from low, miserable creature
IN urinoline uniform. Two other camps
were 10 like manner captured and their
DESTROYED.
The dead body Of the notorious Gen.
Alcohol was found upon the field fright
fully mangled. He and his men have
been great terror to the peaceable citi-
zens of the village and surrounding
especially the women. His
death has occasioned much rejoicing
among all lovers Of good order. virtue and
Mox.

The following is taken from the Rich

A dispatch says reports from Freder-

skirnishing occurred in the neighborhood
of Port Royal yesterday morning. but with
what success could not be learned. The
general aspect Of affairs is represented to
be such as to indicate battle imminent
The enemy have moved to the front and
much activity is observable along their

On Walker telegraphed from Paca-

are the ports aimed At.
Our troops everywhere are put under
marching orders to be ready for move on

Several large vessels passed Charleston
Harbor Sunday going southwark. 1t is
thought they have gone to aid the Gulf
squadron In an attack on Mobile Five
additional vessels were of Charleston bar
Sunday, and four bloekading vessels of
Stony Point.
A dispatch also says, the Yankees al

full brigade and one battery of field ar

The Enquirer says, the Navy Depart

excited the attention of military men for
some time past.
An interesting correspondence has re-
Gently passed between Henry A. Wise and
Gen. Keys relative to the treatment of
lunatics in the asylum Of Virginia. Wise
assumes to believe that these unfortunates
we're cruelty treated by Union officers, and
made very patriotic complaint of the

done or intended to be done to the in

was offered to them by our surgeons and
other officers.
