B9~A Row AT LEATHERwooD BoTToM.
We learn that serious row occurred at
a Strawberry Festival held at George
Thompson's Kennel Garden, Leatherwood
Bottom, on Friday evening last. Mr..
Thompson undertook to oppose the admit
lance into his house of young man named
Henley, when the latter drew revolver
and hit the former over the head with it.
Silas Wharton, constable, with the assist
ance of others, disarmed Kenley aud put
him under arrest. Shortly after this an
other Partyaappeared upon the groupd aud
conducted themselves in very disorderly
manner. GOnst. Wharton again attempted
arrest some of these latter persons when
he was set upon by the crowd and sort
of a free fight ensued. No further arrests
were made. Dir. Thompson declined to
prosecute Henley for assault, but he was
held to bail for his good behaviour by
Esquire Allison.

Say The GovERSoR's PRoCLAMATIoN-
IMPORTANT News FROM MARrrNsBURG AND
WINcHEsTER We call attention to the
proclamation of the Governor, and hope
that every lover OF his country and home
will give it calm and due consideration.
We know that all true and loyal men, who
value their liberty, their honor, and the
honor of their children, NTH strong arm
and a PATRIOTS heart will respond to the
call.
We desire to give exact and reliable
information on the probability of the dan
ger. Tho Governor has information that
force force OF rebels came around Milroy
at Winchester, and that Atkinson at the
head of the rebel force demanded the sur
render OF Martinsburg, which Gen. Tyler
refused, and the last heard from there IN
artillery fight was Progressing-that the
rebels were in force OF twelve thousand
in front of Gen. Milroy and Winches-
ter, and on Saturday at twelve
O'Clock an artillery fight was going on be-
tween MiIroy and the rebels. If they have
ne more than twelve thousand in front of
A[ilroy they cannot take him. What the
force is at Martinsburg we have no iufor-
nation. The rebels may not succeed at
Winchester and Martinsburg But they
have also force of some strength south
of Charleston, Ka that may move in con-
junction with the force in the Valley, and
the object of the Governor is to notify the
people in time that they may be prepared.
He is confident that with the arms be can
place in their hands, with the spirit they
possess, they can and wilIrepel any enemy
that may come among them.

Since the commencement of hostil1ties

The Yankee Government has had the oil
wells under their control, and When we
reached the wells, we found an immense
quantity of oil belonging to "Uucle Sam"
Canal or oil boats were strung along the
Little Kanawha river distance of two
miles, while at least hundred thousand
barrels were lying along the banks of tho
stream, and around the different Wells
The work of destruction was commenced
at IL o'clock in the day, aud the confa-
grafton continued until after daylight the
next morning. The number of barrels de-
stroyed was estimated at not less than
four hundred thousaod, which you will
perceive is an immense loss to the enc

E9 The BEAUTIES OF THE SAFEGUARD
sYsrEM-We had conversation yester-
day with a soldier who has been serving
about Berryville, and we learned some
thing of the safeguard system as practiced
in the neighborhood of that place, which
is about ten miles from Winchester. Re-
Gently a number of Union soldiers who
were out upon scout called upon rebel
citizen for the purpose of searching the
establishment for concealed rebels. The
citizen at once exhibited protection papers,
issued by Col McReynolds, commanding
at Beverly, threatening death to all who
molested him. The soldiers of course went
away and day or two afterwards some of
them dressed themselves iu the rebel uni
form and called upon the citizen again,
informing him that they had understood
he had Yankee exemption papers and had
taken the oath to support the Constitution
of the United States. The citizen admir=
ted that he had received protection papers
from Col. Metropolis, but at once e1hib-
tied safeguard from the rebel commander
and certificate that he had taken an oath
to support the Confederate Government.
He was therefore perfectly safe and at lib-
erty to do as he pleased, as the forcing of
a safeguard is punishable by death.

b9@AH ASTtcIPTED REBEL RA1p.-For
some days past no little anxiety has been
felt in thissquarter as to movements Of
the rebel forces. A great many very. dis
Greet people are disposed TO think that the
rebels contemplate making another and
more extensive raid in this section. The
Pittsburgh Gazette of Saturday says:
The Governments now fully aroused in
reference to the importance of this CITY as
''Vital Union point" the enemy SO look
upon it, and we are assured that they are
determined to sack our city. We are no
alarmists; but we have sufficient informa-
lion inlregard to current military events to
hx the belief that our city is noIo IN in,mi-
nent danger of a rebel attack, by n strong
force of cavalry and artillery, under a bold
and desperate leader. g-a
Let our people arouse themselves to the
fact. We have now a military executive
head, clothed with full power TO organize
the patriotic material, and protect our city
from the invader. In addition to the vol.
unteer forces under the command of Gen.
Brook, let our local forces-whether infant
~, cavalry or artillery-report to head
quarters at once, and hold themselves in
readiness to act as becomes brave men,
Under the late order of Gen. Brooks our
own local forces will be clothed, equipped,
subsisted and paid by the Government the
same as other troops. The officers will be
commissioned by the Government, and
these special troops will be used only in
this department and while the occasion
seems to require.
