RS- DR.. SPIcER PATRICK, member of the
Legislature from Kanawha county, is in the
city, to attend the meeting of the General
Assembly. 1t wi!l.5e remembered that DR..
Patrick was taken prisoner by the rebels
at the time Col. Lightburn was driven from
the valley. The doctor told Gen. Loriug,
who commanded the first body Of rebels,
this appeared in the valley after Lighburn's
retreat, that he was member of the Leg
stature aud the presiding magistrate of the
county. LOring said it was not his inten-
tiOn to interfere with such persons and he
kept his word. Subsequently, however,
one Col. Echols, with whom the doctor
served in the late Secession Convention at
Richmond, appeared in the Valley, and
again he was arrested. Echols robbed
Doctor Patrick of about four thousand dol
lars worth of property, aud then informed
him that he must either go to Richmond or
take the oath of allegiance to the Southern
Confederacy. The doctor being quite an
old man and not wishing to run the risk OF
an Incarceration in dirty lousy dungeon,
took the oath under protest and under dur
ess, but does not consider himself under
any moral obligation to obey it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5-The Tribune's Wash
IngtOn correspondent saws:
The Committee on the Conduct of the War in
examining to day the case of Gen. Stone, dis
covered new facts, which divide the responsibility
of the blunder at Balls Bluff between Gen. Stone
and another General.
Previous to the discharge of Wykoff, the Com
mittee the Judiciary examined Brigadier Gen.
Sickles. whose frequent visits to the incarcerated
Wykoff and the journey from his cell to the resi-
dence of Ex Lieut.. Watt, at the other end of the
avenue. had excited suspicion.
Sickles claimed to be WykOff's counsel, and to
have acted throughout in that capacity. The
Committee put some home questions to him.
He replied sharply, and for a few minutes war
of words ragged. While his examination was
pending the Sergeant at- Arms appeared with
Watt He testified that he saw the message
in the library, and being of literary turn
of mind perused it, That, however, he did not
make copy, but having a tenacious memory
carried portions of it in his mind, and the next
day repeated them word for word to Wykof.
That parsonage had previously testified that the
passage transmitted to the Herald was given him
by Watt orally. -s .t
The Illness correspondence says:
Hamilton Fish and Bishop Ames returned 70
Washington to day and made report to the
Government of their mission to relieve the Union
prisoners in the South.
They repaired to Fortress Monroe and made
known their commission to the Confederate au-
thorities at Norfolk, by whom the matter was
referred 10 Richmond. A reply came refusing
the commissioners admission into the Confede
rate territory. but expressing n readiness to ne
gOtiate for the general exchange of prisoners
Our commissioners opened a negotiation which
resulted in perfect success. An equal exchange
was agreed on, but the Confederates had 300
more prisoners than we, but with commendable
magnamity they proposed these also on condition
that our Government would agree to release 3Ot
of their men that may next fall into our hands.

BEEvEs FROM DIFFERENT STATES.
BEEF CATTLE.

This week has been a good one for drovers
and sales having been quick at prices fully SOC
better per cwt. on good stock, and 25c higher
on common grades.
The receipts this week are hardly equal to the
demand, and all came in on time; the last lot ar
rived on Tuesday noon, and OH Tuesday even
ing nearly all had been sold leaving no desirable
lots for butchers who had postponed buying until
to-day.
We were glad to notice decided improvement
in the quality this week; quite considerable
number we're premium steers, some selling at
50 90 per cwt., and one lot brought $3.50 per
head. or so per cwt.; Kentucky and Ohio sent
some very choice Durham grades which were
splendid beeves.
The big OK fed by Mr.. Anderson of Mass, of
which we spoke last week, had lost somewhat
before butchering, and weighed but 3 800 lbs,
being but $50 lbs. less than the weight of the
celebrated Haxtum steer "Uuion"
We are very glad to record so good market
for the drovers this week, as they have been OBJ
hged to carry the "but end" of the trade longer
than was consistent with their comfort.
The failure of a well known broker is reported
within few days past. We quote:
