man can put away from him the fact that
this country is now struggling for its ex-

aud prompt action of the loyal people,

Aristocracy never could tolerate the idea
that the country should belong to those
who rightfully cultivate it. The leaders of
the rebellion are like the lilies of the val
ley-not in theirpurity and innocence, but
in this: They toll not, neither do they spin
or gather into barps-they reap where they
have not sown. The man who causes a
blade of grass to grow where none grew
befOreis public benefactor. The labor
ing men are the saViours of the race. THIS
war is waged by those who perform no la
bort was waged upon the Industrial pur-
suits of the country. One thing is clear
you must conquer theserebels or they will
conquer you. Some talk of compromising
the matter. Why, God Almighty would'nt
settle such war by compromise. He had
too much sense. He had rebellion in
Heaven once, but it WAS not settled by CON-
promise, and could not have been without
ALLOWING the devil TO set on one side of the
throne. The man who has single thought
in sympathy with this rebellion is traitor,
not only TO his country, but is traitor to
his God. He is conspirator against his
fathers. He believed he'll was q Divine in

On motion of Thomas Hornbrook, the
resolutions adopted by the workingmeh'sl
meeting. in Wheeling, on Tuesday evening,
were submitted to tue meeting and unani-
mously adopted.
Capt. Joseph Snyder, of MouougNlin,
having been called upon, came forward and
made few appropriate remarks. He be-
lieyed the people of Western Virginia
would do their duty-no drawer people
ever lived than the Western VirginiHns.
He believed the call for men would be an
swered promptly and decisively. He be-
lieved the war was waged for the liberties
Inherited from our fathers.
Capt Snyder spoke very briefly. he
said that all that could be said had been
already said more ably than he could say it.
The meeting was the largest one held in
Triadelphia for a long time. A great many
ladies were present, aud there was great
deal of enthusiasm iu.the crowd. The del
egation from the patriotic neighborhood of
Sand Hill came in on horseback, armed
with muskets, and made very Interesting
display.
We learn that some twenty odd recruits
were procured during the day.
B@-oUR ParsrERs within the past
two weeks we have lost some half dozen
printers who have quit the Office for the
purpose of shouldering muskets in the de-
fence of their country. One, a New Yorker,
gay aud festive youth, who "cares nothin'
for his Lord, F" has gone home to enlist in
the Naval service. Another, Mr., F. Mil
denburgh, an old Prussian soldier, is re-
crnittug a company in the city, aud is. get.
ting along finely. He will make good
officer aud we nope that he may meet with
theysuccess he. deserves. Another, Mr. t.
G. Rice, who has. been in the Office for elk
or seven years has laid down the compos-
log stick to pick up heavier piece of
metal the mdsket. St1Iauother, Mr.. Wat.
Delo, who learned his trade on thel Intel
ligencer aud who has worked faithfully for
four years this month. During all that
time he has been faithful and trueito us
and leaves us now only 10 obedience to a
stern sense of duty. He has enlisted in
one of the companies now organizing in
the city. If he makes as tue and as good
soldier as he is printer, the patriot army
will have none better or more entirely de-.
voted to the cause. Besides these we have
