attempted to cover his crime by fire. When
the alarm of fire was first given, all sup
posed that the family were safe, when it
was finally ascertained that they were yet
in their sleeping room, and the belief gen.
eral that if dead they had suffocated. An
entrance was Immediately effected, and it
was not till the bodies were brought to the
open air that the horrible murder was dis
covered. Such are the particulars of one
of the most horrible of murders ever COM
mitted, and of which the annals of crime
can hardly produce an equal in cold blooded
atrocity, and which is charged upon Fred
f. Srreeter, formerly of this place, and pre-
vously at Bratileboro. The evidence i'm
plicating him, We have already published.
When his final trial takes place, we are not
informed, but probably shall be in due time.
Streeter is understood to be deserter
from the army, in which he enlisted in 1861,
as a sharp shooter. His standing while here
was not at all favorable, and he was looked
upon by many as bad man. The most
disastrous fire which ever happened to this
place, and from which the village has not
yet recovered, was very generally attrib-
uted to him at the time, some four years
ago. He was heavily insured, and that was
supposed to have been the motive. He
married wife in Westmoreland, n. H.,
who died year ago, some say of grief al
his conduct; at all events he was not wor-
thy of her. His life has been reckless, and
his career seems now soon to have an igno-
minious close.

ohio and Pennsylvania Elections
Overwhelming Union Triumph! !!

Curtin, the Union candidate, is reelected
governor Of Pennsylvania by over $4,000
majority.
The town of Gettysburg, where the great
battle was fought, gives Curtin nearly 100
majority. Philadelphia city alone gives him
$500 majority, and his majorities are in
many instances larger than had been previ-
ousIy claimed by the Union party.
In Ohio, Vallandigham is elected-to stay
where he is, and the Union majority for
Brough is so large that no one pretends to
know how much it is. 1t is estimated, how
ever, to be from $4,000 to $4,000. The
soldiers vote was almost unanimous against
Vallandigham, and on the home vote the
Union gain in thirty-fve counties is 26,257
Returns from the county elections in In
diana, also show great Union gains. In
indianapolis the Union majority is 2lOO.

NEAR RoMNEY, VA, Sept. 2s, $751;
Editors IntelIigencer:
Again have our eyes been gladdened by
the sight OF "preen6acks." In other words,
we have again been paid of. We received
our ''greenbacks" last Thursday, the Oath.
A great many of the boys did not receive
much money. This was owing in a great
measure, to the settling up of the clothing
account. ending Sept. LIST. Almost oil OF
the boys drew over their yearly allowance
(S42.) There are some articles OF SOL
dier's outfit drawn in the first year, that DO
not have to be replaced the next near and
consequently, we will be better of at the
next yearly settlement.
A question here naturally arises: why
is it the soldiers are not allowed more for
clothing, when the price of the articles we
draw:are higher nowkthAn wheR we enter
ed the service? Can any one answer this
question. If they can, they can do more
than any person have yet come across;
think it bat fair and just to advance the
soldiers yearly allowance, in proportion
to the advance 10 the price of clothing.
The l4th Virginia received marching Or
ders on Saturday, and left about noon. The
men were all in excellent spirits as they
moved of, and appeared nothing 10th TO
leave this miserable place. Their exact
destination is not known, but it is supPos-
ed TO be Petersburg. Good luck go with
them.
do not think it would disaPpOint many
In our regimenI if we were to receive Or
ders to leave here. think such orders
would be received with joy. There has
been more sickness in our regiment since
we have been laying here than at any other
time since We entered the service. AS
evidence of this, one has but to look at the
number that report every morning at the
beating OF the sick-caIl; and besides these
the number that has been sent to the hos
pital at Cumberland. To judge from the
number Of sick persons, think this is a
very unhealthy place. l hope we shal
soon have the pleasure of bidding goodbye
to it.
Mr.. Jacob HornbroOk, of your city, ha:
been on a visit to our regiment. He re-
manned here for two or three days, and
then started on visit to the LIST Virginia
at Petersburg. He takes home the money
of our boys to their friends and relatives
He will be iu Wheeling in day or two
probably ere this reaches you. Mr.. H. i:
truly the soldiers friend. think l au
pretty safe IN saying that he has done more
for the Virginia soldiers than any Other
man in Virginia. He is dear to all the sol
diers, and we'll may he be. He has the
well wishes of our entire regiment.
As yet, it is not known what disposition
is to be made of our regiment. We have
not yet received any orders to prepare
winter quarters. We have not even Sib-
ley tents, and have to be content with ouI
shelter tents, which are not fit for a dog
to stay in, such weather AS we have here
much less human beings.
But | will now close, AS have written
more than intended when began. More
anon. Yours truly. FIFTEENTH.

The MouudsvIIIe Communications
inatIom OF Hon. Jacob IL. Blair for
Congress.
The delegates from this and the upper
counties did not return from MOundsvilIe
delay of the trains, consequently We are
unable to publish our report of the pro-
ceedings this morning. We will state,
however, that the Convention was most
harmonious one, and its session through
out was marked by universal good feeling.
Mr.. Blair was nominated on the first bal
10, in opposition 10 c. D. Hubbard of this
county, who washis only opponent, Me srs
Lamb aud Norton not being before the
Convention. The Ohio county delegation
and the delegation from Marshall cast
their entire vote for Mr.. Hubbard, the for
mer giving him 29O5 votes and the latter
2O67 votes. Brooke county gave him
oae half her delegation or S39 votes !;
Hancock 2s7 votes, and Wetzel lao. In all
Mr.. Hubbard received 5734i votes and MIR.
Blair 9O59I. The counties voting for the
latter were Doddridge, GIlmer, one half OF
Hancock, Harrison, Lewis, Peasants,
Richie, Tyler, wetzel, Wood and Writ
The county of Calhoun was not represent
ed iu the Convention.
On the announcement OF the vote and on
behalf of the Ohio county delegation, A.
W. Campbell moved that the nomination
of Mr.. Blair be made the unanimous vote
OF the Convention, which motion was ear
ried by reclamation. After the adjourn
meut aud while the delegates were waiting
for the cars, Mr. John Hubbard being call
ed out made very neat little speech in
which he paid a very high compliment to
the character OF Mr.. Blair, pIedging him
the cordial aud active support of his bro
ther.
Mr.. Blair's nomination is, of course,
equivalent to his election. The Union
cause has now been secured beyond a per-
adventure in this district by concentration
90 one candidate.
We should have stated that Edwin Max
well, ESQ.,, of DOddridge coqnty, was made
President of the Convention, and John E
Wilson, of Ohio, and Mr.. Leonard, Of
Wood, Secretaries.
