Rev. I.R. Wn.nu-

The following notice Of Rev. Jas. E, VIZ
son, not long ago popular pastor, at the
Fourth Street Methodist Church, in this
city, but now stationed at Ravenna, Ohio,
is from the Philadelphia Prsss:
A series of revival meetings has been in
progress at the Central Methodist Episco-
pal Church lin charge Of the Rev John
ThomPsou,) Vine street, above Twelfth,
during the last three weeks, which have
been rendered unusually successful by the
preaching of the Rev. james Emmett Will
son, OF Ohio. Since coming TO PhiladeI-
Phia he has, We believe, preached in this
church every evening during the week, and
twice on Sundays, and the effect of his
earnest appeals TO the unconYerted has
been Of the most marked character, q large
number being awakened almost every
night 10 a sense!of their lost condition In a
state Of untorgiven sinfulness. Mr.. Wilson
Is man Of manly bearing, and possesses un-
mistakable power as a pulpit orator.
In person and features he 80 much resem-
bles the portraits Of John C. Breckiuridpe.
mo reflection upon Mr.. VS. loyulty,) that
one might readily mistake them for Mr..
Wilson's own. Calm and dignifed. he
nevertheless eVinces, at intervals, all the
warmth and fire peculiar to Western pull
pit orators of the Methodist school. He
has good voice, under complete control,
is graceful and appropriate in his gestures,
and in some OF his semi-cxtempore flights
is eloquent and poetic. He evidently feels
what he says, which is the chief secret of
effective Oratory. On Tuesday evening
last we heard Mr.. Wilson preach a dis
course upon the passage of Scripture con-
tanned in LIST Joka, ii, 90: "But ye have an
JUNCTION from the Holy One, and We know
all things" In this sermon hO enlarged
upon the characteristics of Gods hoIiaess,
explained, critically, the meaning Of the
term junction" in this connection, and con-
cluded by contrasting the Importance aud
grandeur Of the ChrishaR's knowledge with
the mere worldly attachments of men un-
Instructed in the things of God as revealed
by his spirit. He is still preaching regu-
larly in this church, aud attracting large
congregations.
Many of Mr.. wilson's old friends Cuo man
ever made more in the same time) would he
glad to see him "located" here again.
Aud since he has been SO much scattered
since he len, we have hopes that some
friendly gale will ere long land him among
Us.

tbs editor of the Portland Adrertissr,
who understands the facts in the case by
his late residence at the West, thinks that
"Whils the South presents bold front
on the Potomac, in Kentucky, Western
Virginia and Missouri; behind this front Is
nothing but weakness. Its armies and for
tiicatious may be compared to shop where
all the goods are skilfully paraded on
shelves and in showcases. The eye sees
all at a glance Nothing is left in reserve
behind this outward appearance. A single
decisive battle against the South, like Man.
assas against the North, would decide this
question, and blot out forever the rebel
lion, which has nothing to fall back upon.
NO NOT SO with the North. A dozen defeats
IKE Manassas only prolOngs the contest.
1t does not and cannot decide it.n

FROM Camn Hnn-
CAMP HALL, TROY, G!LAEa Co.,

January 4th, 1862.
To an IRh0Hl It Nay Concern:
The country in West Virginia, around
tho little Kauawha river, is in very bad
state, being entirely overfowed with Sc
eession bands, who are carrying on per-
petual guerilla warfare, killing innocent
and Union loving people, and robbing and
burning all Government property they con
put their hands on. Il was only q few
nights ago, that Capt. Nutteris IniIl, in
Richie county, was burned down by a
band of seeesstOnists belonging to that
ueiRhborhoOd.
Now If may suggest q plan to put those
rebellious acts down, It will be as follows
likewise twill help to put the war down.
Let every comfy in Western Virginia or
ganize militia force, II Il only amounts
to 200 men, also those counties that can
do 1t, let them raise home guards, and take
those soldiers who have volunteered for
the defence Of the Union. Let them 90
and push on the fighting. At the Same
time equip the companies both the soldiers
and militia as soon as they are organised
into companies and sworn in to defend the
Union.
BY these means our good Union and free
country may DO restored to its former state
ofprosPerity and happiness.

TEER AND DEFENDER OF THE STARS AND

HARR1sBURG, Pa, Aug. 2O.-The work of
forming regiments is still going forward with
unexampled rapidity. Thirteen full regiments
have already gone forward and four others are
in process of formation at Camp Curtin. The
material for three regiments is now in camp
at Pittsburg, and will arrive here in few
days. Twelve regiments are raising in Phia-
delphia and six at various other points in the
state making in all 80 regiments which it is
expected will be ready for the field by the 22d
inst, the time fixed by the war department as
the latest for the acceptance of new regiments.
1t is believed that if the time is extended to
Sept. LIST, our whole quota of $4,000 under
the first call would be raised and thus render
a special draft unnecessary. The raising, or
ganizing, equipping, and transporting of an
army of 10000 men, by one state, within a
space of thirty days, is an achievement at
once glorious, and probably never before
equaled in military annals.

burned by guerrillas on the night OF the loth'

and an officer unloaded portion OF her stores,
when he was attacked by thirty guerrlllas.

the furniture and silver ware, set hire to both
