Interesting from Northwestern Virgil

- we ike exceedingly, says eDe Rockingham
Register, the looks Of things In Northwestern
Virginia. Tire people there are following
the fashion Of the Northwestern States, and
are boldly moving against Lincoln and his
despotisn. Pierpont's bogus government. is
getting into bad odor, and is openly and Sc:
vorely denounced by leading influential men,
who have heretofore not co-operated With the
South. An election was to have been. hello,
ION the 18th inst, for Delegates to a Conven-
ton of the people of the new. State, and a
number of anti -new-State candidates fer the
Convention, Of influence and power with the
people, were announced and were boldly ha-
ranguiug the sovereigns at different points.
In Wheeling, a. few days before the election,
as we see bv late number Of the Black Re-
publican Intelligencsr. Of that city, which has
been kindly furnished ns by an intelligent Ia
dy friend, large meeting was held at the
Court House, which was addressed. by Mr..
Richardson, candidate on the anti-new-
State platform, and by the Hon. Sherrard
Clemens, who took the same position. The
meeting was not only large one, but it was
enthusiastic, and the utterances Of speakers
were warmly applauded. The Black Repnb-
hcan paper which gives US this most CRAFTY
ing intelligence, tries to break the force of
these popular demonstrations; but it is evi-
IDENTIFY mo 20" Referring to Mr.. Richard,
sons speech, it says: 'Hs spoke Of the I'M
authorized suspension Of habeas corpus-the
worthlesspess Of green backs, and the black
tide of tyranny that was sweeping over the
country. All this was very ingeniously in
terspersed with frequent illusions to Adolf
ton, which were receiysd by the audience
with demonstrations II great joy. He con-
cluded by urging upon the people the great
Importance of their at once asserting their
manhood, !" &c. Good for Mr.. Richardson.
The right sort of talk in the right place
right under the caves tf the capitol of the pre-
tended, "bogus, counterfeit new State.
Speaking of Mr.. Clemens effort at this
same meeting, this samea Black Republican
editor says He was greeted with applause.
He belched forth such 4 vindictiye TRADE Of
abuse against the restored government aud
the proposed new State as we have never
heard equalled. He said he had had pad
lock on his mouth, and manacles on his wrists
and shackles on his legs, and he tore them off
and stood up like defiant freeman. He gave
a detailed account of the manner in which
the usnrped government and the new State
movement were inaugnrated and the tempta-
stions which he has encountered in his efforts
to keep his hands clear of the business. He
pitched into Gov. Pierpont Auditor Crane,
Senator Wiley, Gen. Wheat, A. B. Caldwell,
and all their principles and practices"
.sMr. Clemens announcrd himself asa But
ternut, and said that although he had been
under cloud, somewhat, for a long period,
he had always been unalterably opposed to
the division of Virgins"

The following excellent joke is well worth

Indiana pspcE
A few days since an extra train loaded
with iackasses was transported over the Louis
Vile and New Albany railroad The tele-
graph operator 1t Salem, "a boy, getting wind
of it, sent rumor that Gov. Morton, Of Indiana,
and Gov. Yates, of Illinois, accompanied by
. large. delegation Of Republicans, with bands
of music, etc, would pass through at certain.
honr. Gmmense crowds Of enthusiastic Re-
publicans repaired to the depot, hats in hand,
ready for the expected cheers. When the
train thundered IN, an aged and venerable
sss1sr Of . pair Of fabulous ears stuck his
head ont Of a stock car and gave vent to 9
long, agonising hee-haw, that fairly shook the
hills around; copsternation seized the crowd,
and in two minutes not Republican was to
be seen within q mile Of the depot. Com
plant has been made to the superintendent
against the operator. and be is in momentary
expectation Of notice to quit.

The rebel sympathisers of this State assem-
bled here to-day, ostensibly for the purpose
,of making nominations for the August cleo
tion.. The House of Representatives, by q
decided vote, having refused the use OF the
hall, they rented the theatre. The Chairman,
on taking the chair, said he hoped the Con-
vention would do nothing that good and loyal
citizens should not do. In the meantime o
regiment of soldiers, with fixed bayonets,
formed in front of the theatre, and when the
call of the counties was made, Col. Gilbert
appeared and caused 10 be read the following
order; .sfss4
Reliable information having been receiv-
ed at these headquarters that number of re-
bel spies and emissaries are in this CITY, il is
ordered that all persons now here, not resi-
dents, on members Of the Legislature, or Off
GERS of the State Government, will forthwith
leave their names at these headquarters, ac-
companied with satisfactory references as to
their loyalty to the government.
!. Col Gilbert took the stand and said, to IA
cilitate proceedings and save the convention
trouble, he, with his adjutant, would take the
names of the delegates sthey we're called
He said There are those here whom we
knew to be rebels Of the worst kind, under
disguise Of the name Democrats. You have
assembled here with the hope of perfoctinx
your designs, but it will not do. Repudiated
by the Legislature, who have refused you the
use Of their hall, Democratic newspapers
scorning and disowning you, there is no use
in your holding a convention in Kentucky.
"None but men of undoubted loyalty TO the
government will be allowed to run for any
Office. and such meetings as this you shall not
hold Within the limits Of my command. To
avoid difficulty you will dispense to your
homes, and in future desist from all such at
tempta to precipitate civil war .upop your

A HOrrid Spectacle.

We learn from a gentleman Of this place,
who came on the Eastern train Wednesday
morning, that most heartrending scene
was presented to the citizens Of Marion just
before4he train passed. The particulars, as
he relates them to us, are these:
'sI A Mr.. Moore, about so years old, and bis
two sons-in-la&. came from Tazewell county
10 Marion on Tuesday. the two latter return
ing to Jenkins' command, from. which they
had been furlsughed. The father-in-law, it
seems, came to see them off or the Eastern
train Wednesday morning. While waiting
q Marion. aud at shout O'Clock p. m., they
left the Hotel, and. under tie effects of Hqaor,
manifesting in their conduct that there was a
misunderstanding among them, which occa-
stoned angry words. However, nothing more
was heard of thsm after leaving the Hotel, un-
I'll the miller near by came for assistance
He was grinding, when his mill ceaaed to
run, and on looking to the wheel, propelled
BY overshot water-power he discovered the
legs Of Mr.. Moore and one Of the sons-in.law,
projecting from between the buckets of the
wheel and the stone wall against the bank. by
which, their bodies we're crushed and the
.1hsef stopped, their feet pointing upwards
Finding that they were dead, he was startled
BY she voice Of a third person under the
wheel, who Mad passed through the same
opening. The wheel lining and buckets were
cut away, and Che latter taken from the wa
Ter in DYING condition. It was the other
son-in-law, who had stone in his pocket
The others were then cut ont. They were,
dreadfully crushed and frozen. The son-in-
law had stone clenched in his frozen fist.
