wants more troops, and you must furnish
them.
The speaker complimentedthe West Vir-
ginia troops highly, everybody says, "they
fight we'll, they can be relied on" They
are the jolliest set offeilows he ever SAW
and in the hospitals they are cheerful and
well cared for. Their only desire appears
to be to sec nthe boys" He heard some oil
them sing the 'tred, white and blue" and
they made it perfectly ring in their own
style. He gave an account of the battles
before Richmond, and said the rebels were
terribly repulsed every day exceptone, with
n loss acknowledged by themselves to be
10000, and some say 10000. They are re.
ported to have buried $4,000 dead at NAL
Tern Hills, after the last battle. The Pres
ideht, during his visit to the camp, ascer-
tanned our total loss to be only l0,4OO.-
Tho only cause of depression therefore, is
hedisnppointmcnta at not taking Richmond.
But in few days, certain Pope will issue
"A "bull" that will astonish the rebels

iments, and We will finish the business"
The speaker went into discussions Of
his course on the New State question,
showing that he had put his shoulder TO
the wheel and kept it there, ever Since the
people had got on tue right track with it.
lie described Carlile's yaciIIating course on
the subject, always speaking of him in a
respectful tone, as "my colleague" He
demonstrated in a mastery manner, and by
incontrovertible arguments, why West Vir-
ginia should have separate state organi-
zation, and said, to do so, we must keep
her star on the old flag undimmed aud uu-
sullied. We must stand up manfully fer
the Union. He deprecated purity organiza.

"follOw the flag the flag of Bunker Hill

fathers. 7ai
Mr.. Wiley having concluded, three
cheers were given tor the speaker, and our
worthy Governor was introduced by Mr.
Smith. F "a
The Governor said he had been talking
great deal lately, and his voice was af-
fected somewhat; be would therefore give
them rather Il short speech, probably. He
knew that his auditors loved their country.
because their fathers loved it. They had
sung the songs of their native land, and
enjoyed the blessings of civil liberty. Bul
where to-day are those whom you once
trusted, and who tried 10 lead you aslray ?
They are in arms against that country, to
seize its citizens and devastate the land.-
He described the events that led to the re-
organization of the state government at
Wheeling, and the blessings that resulted
therefrom to the people He spoke of the
warnings he had given the people in regard
to the tendencies of the doctrines taught by
their leaders, and how his statements were
verified. These men were arguing that Sc.
cession was peace. Floyd sent all the arms
tothe South. Was thntfor peace, was that
to raise cotton? They have been drilling
soldiers for the past three years. Does
that look like peaceful intentions?
He referred to the secessionists trying to
oyerawe the people by sending Southern
troops to Western Virginia, and asked
whether that looked very peaceful. No;
they bad it in their hearts to destroy the
Government, but like towards, they fled at
the first approach eff danger. They want.
ed an aristocracy, where they could lori it
over the poor man. If they wanted Dem
ocratic institutions, why didn't they re-.
main under them? Do they not rely for
success on recognition by tho mop0rchies
and Rristocracies of Europe2 He spoke OF
the conscription act in the South, aud the
reign of terror existing there, where those
who refused to submit were hunted down
with bloodhounds. If there WAS feeling
in the speakers heart next to love for God,
it was love for Democratic institutions. II
they die, he wanted to die with them. They
were all in all. Without them, mans rights
were limited indeed. The fiendishness of
rebellion was exhibited every day. Rebel
guerrillas were on our border, plundering
everything, from a bank to a hen-rOost.
Then there was this constitutional peace
party among us, saying, we must not
hurt these fellows. Vallandigham was led
by Breckinridge, Breckinridge by JEFF. Da-
Wis, and Jelfs Davis by the Devil. The peo-
pie must rally to the'suPport of the Govern
ment. The Presidentand Secretary of War
had told him they would defend West Vir.
ginia as long as they had power. If they
are not sustained, what will be the result to
us 2 Congress had passed conf1scatiou
bill, the effect of which would be to give
us more power to put down rebellion. But
this ''tail of YallRndigham'' says this is uu-
constitutional. A Avoice-"It's allright-
twhat'swanted.n] He believed in using
every means to put down rebellion. The
rebels use their negroes they are their
chief reliance. But these Yallandigbam
men say you must not use them-it would
interfere with the peopLeSrigAts. The ques-
tlon just stands this way you must either
put tuetEe OOWn OF leI l0enl lord II over
you. God will take care of the negro ques-
tion. Letus put downtreason. If it would
help along any, he would free every negro
from Virginia to Texas. He referred to the
policy heretofore of guarding rebel proper
ty. Each rebel house must have twenty or
thirty men, withering in the silent watches
OF the night from malaria, to protect the
s'rigbts of these rebels. He didn't believe
in it. While we are treatihg them so
kindly, they are raising large army to
destroy their protectors. 21 9i ~
But. new policy has been adopted
Rebels are to be made suffer as well as
our soldiers. Rebels within our lines must
take the oath aud give bonds for good be-
havior, or they will be driven into Dixie,
and continue TO be driven till they are pitch
ed into the Gulf of Mexico. We must not
have them in our rear. We can tight them.
