"Among others met here was Col. Smith,

passed through the North to Richmond and

obligations which characterizes the rebel lead
ers, he prides himself on having deceived the
Union pickets by the willingness with which
he took the oath Of allegiance, claiming to be
a UDionist on his way north. He is a south

and recently bought more gunpowder than he
could pay for, aud has been furnished with

The JAPAN.-The Manchester GUARDIAN has the
following A short time since four men, who were
quartermasters on board the Great Eastern, aud
who had beea gunners in the British navy, left the
ship and Joined the vessel known as the Japan, which
was fitting out at GreenOck. for China and other
eastern ports. More recently the q-uartermasters
came 10 Liverpool, and shipped about 100 men.
Some of the men got intoxicated, and the next day.
having learned some secrets from an indiscreet quar-
termaster, they paid a visit 10 Mr.. Dudley, the
American consul, and told him that they had been
shipped for service on board the Japan, a vessel it
ted out 10 burn, sink aud destroy federal vessels.
Mr.. Dudley at once telegraphed 10 Mr.. Adams, the
American minister at London. who promptly called
upon Earl Russell, and the latter telegraphed to the
collector Of customs at Liverpool to stop the Japan.
The collector at once looked into the bill of entry,
but nothing could DE seen of the Japan there. The
collector then, thinking that she might soon enter the
river, ordered four revenue gigs 10 cruise up and
down, and stop her rs soon as she made her appear
ance. No Japan, however, turned up, and the col
lector then telegraphed TO Earl Russell that he must
have been misinformed. On further investigation il
was found that Mr.. Dudley had forgotten TO state
that the Japan was at Greenock. However, when
this became known, the orders of the government
were Immediately telegraphed TO Greenock, but the
Japan, renamed the Virginia, had sailed for an un-
known destination.

WEST YlRGINIA.
From the Point Pleasant Register

Taxation is a vital clement in Govern
ment. It's as indispensable too, to the
existence of organized civil polity, as air
is to natural life 1t is true, that the OBJ
jccts for sell-imposed taxation, have been
much increased during the present centu-
ry-the whole people, through their gem
eral laws, undertaking to care for the va
rious classes of unfortunates, instead of
leaving them dependent upon private
charity, and-when freely imposed, evil
dences an advanced stuge of civilization,
refinement, aud wise political economy.
But, West Virginians, your high taxes
have not been self imposed; nor, have,
ing exactions from hardy industry,
been expended in caring for the unfor-
donates of your common State, but in
constructing public works, which ueces-
sarily only benefited your extortieners.
and caprices of dominant, antagonistic
party. You therefore, are not freemen,
but must pay what your Eastern lords
impose. It's marvel. they have not
been more exacting. Let US ever remem-
Der what the record shows they have, how
ever, actually done.

a letter received last night from Hon..
W. G. Brown, onr Congressman, from his
home.in Preston county, says:
1--WE had glorious New State meeting
to-day. Preston is all right for the New
State"
a letter last night from prominent cit
izen of MOundsviile, says:
al have attended ten different New State
meetings, held at different precincts 10 this
county within the last two weeks, and 1.
can safely say that Marshall will give one
thousand majority for the New State, ex-
elusive of the soldiers vote. We took
vote at each of our meetings, aud the re-
suit was about the same at each place. Out
of one hundred persons present, ninety
nine were for the New State, and the hun
dredth person would not vote against it.
/ have not found a single man who would
come out aud say that he w4s going to vote
againt the New State. We are working
here in Marshall. Our committees stop
not night or day, but earnestly press on,
and our speakers go through mnd, rain and
snow to every part of the county"
An esteemed and influential friend at
MorgantOwn writes us last night as fol-
lows:
''I am glad to be able to say to you that
the prospects for the new State were never
more bright and cheering than at present.
It will be about the most unpopular thing
man can dc here to vote against it."
Mr.. Flesher writes US from Pleasant
View, jackson county, that
"From present prospects believe: nine
teulhs of the people of Jackson will vote
for the new State, / think the few Butter
Euts who oppose it will ouly lay back and
growl and not vote at ALL"
Mr.. S. Ford writes US from Pruntytown,
Taylor county, as follows:
1.-THE new State is prospecting in this
county. There is some opposition. But
Notwithstanding, Taylor will do her duty
nobly and we will give a very respectable
majority on the day of election
