Our Late ELECTION.

The comments of the Wellsburg Herald
on the result of the election in Western
Virginia for new and free State. have
awakened general interest, rs it seems,
on the part of the newspaper press of the
country. 1t is shown by one of our ex-
changes las emitting the people of West
Virginia to all the more crcdit) that the
vote was cast in spite of the influence of
our two Senators, and of several such pa
pers as the Wheeling Press, and is there
fore to be taken as representative of an
almost unanimous feeling. This, it strikes
us, is, under the circumstances, justifia-
BILE inference.
AS the comments OF the Herald are fly
ing past US every day or two, 10 some of
our exchanges, we cannot resist the temp
tatiou to prirt n second time this extract
from them:
"Was there ever greater revolution in
public sentiment than has been wrought in
the public mind of Western Virginia, dur
ing the last few months on this subject p
The late election tells the tale. In coun-
ties where, eighteen months ago, the ven
cradle Ruifncr was treated with contumely
and insult fcT having years before been the
author of a pamphlet advocating gradual
emancipation, the people, after one ears
tuition in the rough school of war, indorse
his views by vote that is wonderful for
its unAnimity. In counties where, few
months ago, to question the divinity of
slavery was to court at least political mar
| tyrdom, the soVereigns have voted one hum
bred to one to get rid of the institution
In sections where horse thief was held to
be more respectable character than free
| soiler, and n nOrtherner was an abolition
list, and primd fdcie an outlaw that could
be robbed and maltreated with impunity
by the scum and dregs of the slnvehOlding
oligMrchy, they have voted themselves free
SOiIers by tremendous majOrities. When
the official vote Of last Thursday comes to
he published, those who have doubted the
liberaliziug effect of the war upon the
minds of the people on the subject will be
jority for free State, Wood her 1900 to
10; Monongnlia, Marshall, WctZel, Tyler,
Harrison, the home of Garlic, aud Marion,
the den of the Hnymonds, the Nelson's, and
of more traitors than any other county OF
equal population can boast, all uniformly
gave tremendous majorities for the new
constitution, and where II vote was taken,
for gradual emancipation.
"Verily, slavery is doomed in West Vir-
ginia from the date of that vote and un-
less the educaIiOnAry process be quickly
| stopped, it will not be long before the VAL
ley, Piedmont, and Tide Water will cxpe-
| rience the same startling phenomena"

a Letter from wheeling, Written by
House OF Delegates.
WHEELIx0, April Is, 1862.

William Long is in the Atneneum, await
ing the return of the Governor, who is alb
sent on n visit to Clarksburg. The charg-
es preferred against Long are, that since he
took the oath of allegiance he has been liv-
ing in total disregard pitts obligations, cx-
limiting upon all occasions his hostility to
the Union cause, and encouraging by his
acts and conversation the cause of the re.
belliou-that his house is the rendezvous
of secession sympathisers. where trenson-
able songs are sung and other unlawful
demonstrations INDUCED in. Further, that
he has been frequently heard TO denounce
the Wheeling Government, character
izing it as bogus concern, &c.,
&c. For his offences against the
Federal Government, Gen. Fremont will
hold him to n rigid accountability, and
Gov. Peirpoint is determined to investigate
with nnrelenting vigor the charges made
against him for violation of the oath he
took to uphold and defend the restored
Government of Virginia. There are other
offenders in your county who will be dealt
with most rigidly. Those gentlemen who
have been shouting for JEFF. Davis and
singing Dixie songs, need not console
themselves that because punishment has
not ovcrtaken them, they will be permit
ted TO indulge in reasonable demonstrn-
NciIs EEelHOHI policy Is
TO punish every man who is detected in the
violation of his obligations to support tue
Union cause, anil public opinion justifies
him i'll it. A rigid censorship will be
instituted in all the counties over which
the Wheeling Government has jurisdic-
ton. Open and violent assaults upon the
Federal and State authorities have. been
tolerated too long already, and if the res
pect of rebels cannot be won by kind treat
ment, they must be compelled by the exc
cution of laws and by military discipline,
to pay decen regard to the Government
that protects them.
Gen. Fremont is interesting himself in
the condition of affairs in every section of
his Division, and nvnils himself of the in
formation given by persons who call to see
him. lie will deal in most summary
manner with all rebels engaged in guerilla
warfare. He regards them rs assassins.
and will treat them as such, and wo betide
the man now at large on bail who is caught
in arms hereafter. For him there will be
no mercy, and hanging by the neck will be
his doom.

Wheeling Boys.

Wherever our Wheeling boys are heard

selves And where are they not heard
from2 We have now correspondents among

Joined early in the war, before cnlistments

There are Wheeling boys at Yorktown;
in South Carolina; ut Huntsville, Ala; at
Pittsburgh Landing; with Gen. Pope ut
Fort Pillow; besides hundreds of them with
Gems. Banks and Milroy in aud near the
Valley.
And this para graph reminds US ofthc recent

sent out by Gen. Mitchell from the vicinity
OF Huntsville, to travel through Georgia
and scout tho whole Gulf country. They
scattered themselves over different lines of
railroad, Mr.. Holiday going through Au-
gusta, Atlanta and other places, aud max
ing long and dangerous trip of several
hundred miles. He brought back much
usefnl information to Gen. Mitchell.
We learn also that Mr.. Edward Pun
phrey, son of Paymaster Pumphrey here,

Mississippi line, and that he has in several
skirmishes borne the brunt of battle, like
the West Virginia boys always do.

We learn that our friend Major WalIacel
of Martinsville, over the river, of the 5th
Ohio regiment, had command of that brave
body of men in the battle at Pittsburgh
Landing, owing to the illness of his two
superior officers. We Learn that he nobly
fulfilled the trust confded to him and was
everywhere conspicuous on the bloody
field, aud always in the thickest of the
fray.
The Major was Captain in the three
month service, in West Virginia, aad most
of his company were from MartinsviIle.
Nearly all the boys who were with him
then are with him now, we believe, and
we grieve to know that some of them fell
at the Pittsburgh battle Indeed, we learn
that there was quite mortality among the
Belmont county troops.
Three companies of the 18th Ohio regi-
ment are from Belmont county: Captain
Askew's from st. Clairsyille, Capt. Hollo-
ways from Flushing, and Capt. Glover's
from the Southern part of the county.
Capt. Askew's company lost three men
killed: Stacy Graft, Joseph Hameton and
--C Campbell; and seven we're wounded !:
John W. Harris, Parker Mechem, Hugh

ancnde Honorable.

We may have done our neighbors slight
injustice in Monday paper, by saying they
had not withdrawn the charge of our
having given "qUasi endorsement 10
the New York Posts theory in regard 10
the new State Constitution. We had iail-
ed TO discover the retractiOn up to that
time, but obeytng yesterday mornings hint,
we instituted second search of SOtur-
days issue, and find it "like two grains of
wheat hid away in two bushels of chaff."
Whether it is "worth the search" after it
ia found, our readers may judge. 1t &C.
ours in the middle of an article under the
caption, "Maryland Men in Congress"
AMI is so very 'incideutal" and indirect
that we had overlooked it entirely, as al.
most any Que would have done. Besides,
we saw the article was one of those regu-
lars about the ''abolitionists'' and "Norih-
err fanatics" the reperusal of which We
discontinued some months ago, and not
dreaming that it alluded to us most dis
family. we didn't examine it with as much
care as we should. But now, that we have
found it, here it is:
sit turns out, however, as we fully
demonstrated on Friday morning, and in
TrlIirh ace hddGhe concurrence Of our neigkbOr.
that the New York journals are greatly
mistaken az their Uietcs IN reference to mat
tors an the border StateS," Jour italics.
Now, it does seem to us strange that
even SO small an Acknowledgment as that,
could not have been made without some
perversiOn of truth We did not say the
New York journals were mistaken in their
views in reference to "thc border states =
we said, in reference to the political status
in Western Virginia, and more especially
in reference to our Convention and the
new Constitution. This may seem to some
like slight distinction, but there is re-
ally broad difference and no one under
stands it better than the writer of that par
agraph. Why such studied perversions of
language and meaning? 1t was just as
easy to have stated it correctly, if it were
worth stating at all.
WeprOtest, very mildly of course, against
tue repeated observation that such allusiOus
as our neighbors are in the habit of max
ing to us are purely incidental. If they
think we don't understand that they are
mistaken. These "incideutal references
which as they say are embodied in arti-
cles designed to apply to an eatire differ,
ent object" sustain about the same rcla-
ton TO manly, open attacks that "bush-
Whacking" does to honorable war. They
are sort of ambuscades and masked bat
teries, species of newspaper guerrillatng,
that we have no disposition to descend to.
