WESTERN VIRGINIA.

To-day, the question Of admitting Western
Virginia as a sovereign State into this Union,
comes up in the House of Representatives. We
can but hope for the complete triumph of free.
dom in the recognition Of this struggling peo-
pie for States rights.
II should be enough to satisfy every Republi-
can member, whatever may be his notions of
dividing States, that such men as vallandinghsm
go against the proposition. They would for
ever tie this people to the car of human slavery,
as they would every free State of this Union.
10 not with the men who would keep this true
and loyal people tied to the Letcher govern
ment and TO the bastard confederacy of JEFF
Davis.
Let every member Of the House, who would
now do good work for liberty, give his vote
and his influence In behalf of this measure.
There is one view of this question which We
desire 10 present briefly. Should the Southern
Confederacy succeed, which by the way we do
not admit as a contingency likely TO happen,
though 1t is among the possibilities Of the fu
ture, then 1t will be infinitely better that this
people should stand as an independent State in
the Northern Union, than that Its territory and
It's people should be chained to the dead csrcas
of Eastern Virginia, which, in such an event,
will go with the Confederacy, dragging down to
perdition Western Virginia with them.
Let the members of the House contemplate
every possible advantage and disadvantage,
and then let them act for freedom, confident
that the admission of this people is what free
dom and justice require at their hands.

The MAE QUEsTIoS.-It is believed that the
joint resolution, Introduced In the Senate by
nation Of Sept. 90, will pass both branches of
Congress by decisive majorities as soon as the
delays Of debate and parliamentary tactics can
be overcome. Not only is 1t felt to be due to
the President that he should have legislative
support in this most important measure, but
Senators and Representatives are also animated
by laudable desire to identify themselves
with policy the success of which is so clearly
foreshadowed by events. As the first day OF
January approaches it is more and more appar-
ent that the proclamation will utterly crush the
rebellion.

AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE IN
DIAN PRISONERS. .....
CAPTURE OF THE CoNsPIRATORs.
THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, Dec. s.-A body of
hundred and fifty citizens armed with hatchets,
knives and other weapons, forced themselves
through the guard to-day, with the avowed in
tention of numbering all the Indian prisoners
confined in Camp Lincoln, at Mankato, but
were surrounded and captured. They were af-
forwards released on their paroles.
The Governor has issued proclamation urg
ing upon the people of Minnesota not to throw
away her good name by acts of lawlessness ;
that the people have just cause for complaint
at the tardiness of the Executive action, but
ought to find reason for forbearance in the alb
sorbing cares which weigh upon the President.
If he decides to punish them, then the case
comes clearly within the jurisdiction of the
civil authorities.

ooupT-mAar,A. or GEN. PORTER.


i''-'
The court met at IL O'Clock. a
The accused stated that since the adjourn
men, ON Saturday, when u was announced thst
they had concluded the examination Of General
Pope, several questions had occurred to them
which they would ask the privilege of PROFOUND
ing TO the witness. Permission being granted,
various questions were put, but nothing Of par
tlcular interest was elected. We will, how
ever, present few Of the points;
In the opinion of the witness, If Longstreet
had LEFT Gainesville at O'Clock, p. m, he would
have had ample time to arrive on Jackson's
right; (who was 5 or miles east of Gaines
villc), by A. O'Clock, p. M, the time at which
Gen. Porter was ordered to move. Jackson's
strength at this time was estimated at 25,OOO.
Witness saw the accused on the morning OF the
27tl, and of the 2Sth, when he arrived at Bris-
tow station, but did not again see him until the
morning of the 30th, when he arrived upon the
battlefield. The joint order to Gems. McD. and
P, given on the morning of the 29th OF Au-
gust, was designed not TO place the one In sub
.orllin alton TO the other hut to have them ope-
rate independently, and each one in subordina-
tion to the witness. As far as the witness Is
aware, Gen. P. did not engage the enemy on
the 29th of August. Whilst going from War
renton Junction to 'Bristow station, ON the
II.
of 800 stragglers, mostly from Hooker's di-
vision. They were In bodies of forty, fifty, and
sometimes a hundred. The strength of wit
ness's whole command on the 29th of August,
independent of McD. Is and P.'s was about q, 900
men. McD.'s corps numbered, he thought,
about IL, 900 men. Longstreet's force was about
this time estimated to be from l6 TO 10000
men.
Capt. Drake Dekay, late Of Gen. Pope's STAFF,
was next examined.
He was the officer who on the night Of the
27th bore the written order from Gen. Pope to
Gen. Porter, directing him to move at O'Clock
a. m., on the morning of the 2sth, up to Bris-
tow station. He arrived at Gen. P.'s head
quarters about half past O'Clock. He found
Gen. p. in his tent in company with Gens.sykes
and Morrell. Gen. ButterHeld was also there
he thinks.
As soon as Gen. p. read the order he handed
II to one of his generals. with the remark, Seen
tlemen, here Is something for you to sleep upon"
Witness told Gen. Porter that the last direction
he received from Gen. Pope was to remain with
the accused, for the purpose of guiding
the column to Bristow's station. General
Pope relied upon Gen. Porter being there by
daylight. About II O'Clock, receiving the i'm
preston that Gen. Porter did not intend to
move until daylight, witness laid down, and
took a nap. Gen. Porter stated, on reading the
order. that his troops had just got into camp
after a long march, and he thought they would
be good for nothing in the morning If they
started at the time mentioned In the order. Gen.
Porter started with his command about O'Clock
