SELF.CONDEMNED.

AS the Editor Of the Vaaadacat0r in
his issue Of week before last, did us the
favor to caution us against the course
we were pursuing, and as we felt CRATE
full to him for his advice, and were de-
sirous Of reciprocating his kindness, we
suggested to him that the sensitiveness
manifested by him upon the subject of
axe grinding might lead some to infer
that he, too, had an take to grind" In
stead of profting by the suggestion we
made for his benefit he acts just as tho
the soap fit'him to a T." We appre-
bend that the people will come to the
conclusion that his .labored efforts to ex-
culpate himself from a charge which
was not specially applied to him argues
that he must feel conscious of guilt
When stone is thrown into crowd of
dogs, and one yelps and runs away with
a limp. it is hard to resist the conclusion
that that dog IS hit. So we fear that
those who may read the last Vandicator,
and see that the Editor has limped thro'
the space of a column and half, and
yelped in agony at every jump, will not
be able to resist the conclusion that our
remark about axe-grinders, though not
aimed at any one specially, must have
struck that Editor. We can only say
that we did not design to hit him par
tacul0rly. but that we did design to
strike all that were in the grinding
category, and if he is hurt, it is because
he is in that class, and if not hurt, he
should not yelp and limp so.

of the case is as follows:
On CT about the 1st of October, 1862, said Al

remaining there for several days, ssto look a.
round and choose company as he told me, he
voluntarily selected co. ssH, - and had his name

mission TO go to fire short distance off, which
granted, and he took that opportunity to sneak
away. Shortly thereafter | received commu-
nicatiOn from him applying for a transfer to Gen
Imboden's command, thereby acknowledging
himself to be legal member ct the company I;
and recently (about the time he employed one
to write scurrilous card tor him) he sent word
to me by Jacob Croft of this regiment, to send
him descriptive pay list to enable him to draw
pay for services rendered in COMP any of which
he denies having ever been member. O tenn

deserter over my signature, can substantiate
the charge before any court. I will say in con-

then be for Court Martial to decide whether he
is innocent or guilty.

CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS,

We invite attention to the questions
propounded to Col. Baldwin by "a vo
te." in the last "Vindicator" and his
frank and explicit answers to them
They will be found in another column
under the caption, "Questions answer
ed" We have only space IN this issue
to say that the slanderous warfare wag-
ed against Col. Baldwin by some of the
supporters of Gov. Letcher in this can
vass is of the most outrageous character.
and should have the effect of arousing
the. friends of Col. Baldwin to the most
energetic action in support of his cleo
ton. No friend of his election should
be absent from the polls on the day Of
election. Let each one consider him
self a committee to see the voters and
get them to 90 to the polls.

THE NORTHWESTERN EXPEDITION

THE NORTH-W EST ERN EXPEDITION.
Since the last issue we have had no
direct news from the North Western
expedition under the command of Gen.
Sam'l Jones, under which is included
the forces of Gen. VIM. E. Jones and
Gen. Imboden. They have succeeded
in frightening the Pennsylvanians con-
siderably, snd have destroyed a consid-
cradle portion Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The Northern dispatches re-
port that they have destroyed the high
trestle work on that road, but this is not
confirmed by any information derived,
as yet, from our own forces. We IN
derstand that 1900 horses and 500 head
Of cattle and considerable number Of
sheep have been sent back and are DOW
near Mt. Scion in this county. From
information derived from an officer in
that command, we learn that the enemy
at Beverly escaped capture, because
they Han as soon as attacked by two
companies under command of Major
Lang, and did not give the 31st regi
ment time to get into position in the
rear of them. In the North West sol.
diers are joining our forces in consider
able numbers, and the people are jubi.
liant at the presence Ct our troops.
L. s.-Since the above was written
we have learned that portion of oul
forces are in Pocahontas county, and 8
portion are in pursuit ofsome retreatine
Yankees. They destroyed abont e.
lmiles OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road including the bridge at Fairmont
and that over Cheat River, and captur-
ed some 700 prisoners, with large
number OF horses and cattle.
