The question of locating the State
Capital is already beginning 10 excite
considerable discussion among our ex-
changes. Patketsburg Just as we OK,
pcCted, was the first to present itself as
the only place at all suited for the Capt.
tai. Next, Wheeling, claiming the right
on the ground of prior possession; then
somebody mentions ClarksbuTg and
Weston. Butt is all nonsense, gentle
men, your towns are very respectable
little villages, but YOU don't deserve the
Capital; you are 10 easily scared by
rails. Should a raid be made after the
Capitol is built You would run of sud
leave it to fall into the hanis,of he enc
my. The Capitol mustbe located where
there are brave men 10 defend it, Fair.
mont is the only brave town i'm the
State at which any show OF fight was
made by the citizens during tho hate
raid, and on this account, il On no other,
the Capitol should be hore. 1t is said
that none but tho brave deserve tie
fair; so in this case, none but the place
which showed q disposition to resist the
invaders and drive them back with less
men than they had when they scane,
should be crowned with the Capitol
buildings, If you had come out
promptly to our assistance, instead of
trembling in your boots until you knew
the rebels were gono, We should have
less to say against your presumptous
claims to such distinguished honor
The Capitol will cost a great deal of
money which the people must pay, and
they cannot afford to have it unsecurcly
located Your conduct during the raid
gives us no assurance that you would
not abandon il on a mere rumor of the
approach Of the enemy. Why, rather
than have the Capitol at Wheeling or
Parkorsburg, we would prefer that it be
over in Ohio. 1t would be safer there,
and as for beneftting the Safe, we
don't think it matters much on which
side Of the Ohio river it is placed, The
State of Ohio is already very prosperous
and aourishing, we can, see The neceg.
sity Of locating the Capitol where it will
benefit that State quito as much or
more than it will this. One of the ear.
lie5l reasons assigned for new State
was that Richmond was too far from
this part OF the State to be of any com.
mercial or social advantage. In fact
the Legislature was conducted as though
Eastern Virginia was the State, while
the West was only sort of territorial
appcndugo Of but little account. Is this

State which is most loyal and most need,

isolated? People, forbid it,

A REPORT FROM PHILADELPHIA
THAT SUMTER is Captured.
REBEL REPORTS FROM CHARLESTON.

PHLADELPHIA Nov. THE steamer Sal.
vor arrived at this port to-day from Morris
Island, and brings the most glorious intelli-
gence. She reports that she lay off Morris
Island, on Monday, the I'd inst, and left that
night for Hilton Head. On Saturday and
Sunday terrific bombardment was kept up
on fort Sumter, by three or four monitors,
and by forts Gregg and Wagner. On Mon
day morning, while the Salyor lay off Hilton
Head, Capt O'Neil, OF the invalid corps, who
conveyed party OF conscripts thither on her
last trip, came on board, and reported that
news had been recevedby our military au-
thorIieS there, that fort Sumter was IN our
possession, and was occupied by the Hath
Pennsylvania volunteers, the fort having been
carried by assault.
The report was generally credited by our
officers and men. 1t is also stated that the
United States steamer Fulton had been or
dercd to lay off Hilton Head for twenty -four
hours, to convey the glorious intelligence to
New York. The news was conveyed to Hill
ton Head by the U. S. steamer Golden Gate,
on Monday morning.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The steamer Salvor, Capt. Mott, which has
been engaged in government transport ser
vice, arrived at this port from off Charleston
this afternoon, having left there three days
ago. Capt. Mott reports that fort Sumter had
surrendered to the United States forces, and
that the old flag. the glorious stars and stripes,
now wave over the ruins of the rebel strong
hold. After the surrender of the fort by the
rebels, it was taken possession of by the l44th
Pennsylvania volunteers. The beginning of
the end has come. The old flag has been re-
stored on the very spot where it was first de-
graded. The bogus southern confederacy is
crumbling into ruins.
