WEST VIRGINIA.

This State being divided into three Con-
gress districts, will elect is Members of the
next House in October and candidates arc now
coming forward-all professedly Union men.
In the Monongala district Hon. William G.
Brown is the leading candidate. He was for
merly Democrat, but has known no politics
but Upionism since the outbreak Of the Slave
holders Rebellion, and represented his district
on that platform in the last House.
In the Wheeling District, Daniel Lamb, i.
NJ. Norton, and several others are proposed. A
Convention will probably be held to decide
between them.
In the Kanawha District, H9n. Killian D.
Whaley (late Membcr), is candidate; so is
Hon. George w. Summers. Mr.. Summers il per-
sonaly one Of the very ablest and strongest men
in the State, and would be elected Of course
but for the fact that he for long time
maintained an attitude Of silence and apparent
neutrality with reference to the War for the
Union, justifying the presumption that he wa
In doubt on which side TO range himself. Had
he been openly for the Union throughout, he
would now be U. s. Senator elect, or would be
chosanfto the House without contest. As il
is, his success is doubtful. a part Of the Dis.
txjct is under Rebel control.

ment said to be contained in rebel newspapers
received at Morehead City, \. C., that JEFF.
Davis and the Governors Of the Rebel States
have determined to call out half million OF
black troops. Such news is almost too good To
be true, and not to be accepted except on un-
questionable authority, however strong ones
faith may be iii the adagc, that those who are
doomed TO destruction first 20 mad. What they
have determined TO do in this matter, II
they have determined upon anything, we
shall know in day or two. In the
meantime there is little sum in arith-
metic which the timid may console them
selves with, if they believe the raising Of
so large a body Of black troops is something TO
be frightened at. Ii is a large allowance to BAY
that jeff Davis has under bis control a. lave
populatiOn-men, women, and childrcn-oi
z, 600, COO OF these, certainly not more than
one-half are men. II Of these, thirty per cent
which is about the percentage in this state, on
.he whole population, Of males between the
ages of l5 and GO-werc called into the field, il
would give only 100000 men. 1t would be
quite safe, probably, to divide even this by 2.
However, we wait for confirmation Of the state
ment before further comment.

Dispatches from Rosecrans's headquarters
dated YESTERDAY say that his army crossed the
Tennessee at four points on that day with in
fantry and cavalry. This crossing was near
Stevenson, Ala. large Rebel force was cap
tured at Shell Mound, between Stsyenson and
Chattanooga, and one camp was taken at Fall
Ing Waters. Very little resistance was made 10
the crossing II is understood that the Rebels
are in force at Rome, Ga, and along the railway
up as far as Cleveland. Tenn. There was q
report day or two since that the Rebels had
abandoned Chattanooga; if they are at Cleye-
Land and Rome they must have done so. We
print on the first page a map of Chattanooga
and its defenses; il is place of great natural
strength, and its Abandonment seems to indicate
want Of men or some serious disafecton
among the Rebels. Gen. Burnside is near
Kingston, Tenn, few miles west Of Knoxville.
His progress thus far seems to have been almost
uninterrupted, and should no unforeseen delay
occur, We shall expect great. news from East
Tennessee before many days.

Last Thursday.
Last Thursday being Thanksgiving day the
places OF business were generally closed Peo'
pie selected their own way of spending the day.
Some went hunting, some fishing, n few went to
church, and many loafed about.
Toward evening the Abolition persuasion par
took of supper at the Empire House. At night
they gathered in the Court II ouse for an abolition
meeting. N. w. GooDHuE, of Akron, was on
hand TO speak to them. His speech was mostly
n reiteraton of the slang and falsohoods OF abo
lition blackguards about the Democracy. lie is
the same GooDHuE who made speech to the
Wids Awakes in this place in 1850, and then said
he hoped that should an attemptb be made to en-
force the Fugitive Slave Law in this district their
lamps would be turned into bayonets to resist the
slave hunters. lie is the same man who, IN $50
addressed mourning meeting in Akron, over the
execution Of the murderer, JoHS BRowS. Hei is
one of the original disunonists.
After the dsunion meeting adjourned three OF
four hundred Democrats met in front of the Court
House and proposed three cheers for the Consti
tuition, three for tho Union and three for Val.

such cheering was ever before heard in this re-
gion. The Democrats then went into the Cour
