DR.. Watson, formerly Senator here from
AccOmac, publishes circular to his con-
stituents in reference to the position occu-
pied respectively. by himself and Joseph
Segar, his successful competitor for congress.
The Doctor bears his defeat manfully, and
gives what We have NO doubt, is a true
statement of the case. Segaris not man
in whom We ever had any confidence. He
perverted the record shamefully in his
speech against the admission of West vir-
ginis.
The following is an extract from the
Doctors card alluded to:
Ireceived a majority of the loyal vote.
and my defeat is subject of exultalion on
the part OF every traitor on the shore
Though out Voted the Onion party has
achieved the grandest triumph on record.
The day on which the Secessiouists came
up to the polls to vote down my Congress-.
ionsl aspirations, chronicled the public re.
oantatton of their formerly protested prin.
ciPles by the strongest rebels9n our midst.
and witnessed the sealing of their newly
adopted faith with the solemn sanction OF
an oath. Never before, since the day If
Pentecost, was there either SO sudden and
general conversion, or such wholesale
perjury. They who have reyiIed me for
my devotion to the Uuiou and the Stars
ana STRIPES have either become converted
to the true faith, or covered themselves
with infamy and stained their souls with
the guilt Of perjury. They have bound
themselves by an oath to "discourape se-
cession, aud rebellion and the disinIepra.
ton of the Union" May they "keep the
faith, y aud "bring forth fruit meet for re-.
pentance"

WHEH some rebel prisoners, under guard
of the New York Seventh, were marching
through Baltimore, woman appeared on
the balcony of hotel and knelt in the
open air and called down blessings on the
prisoners, and maledictiOns upon the loyal
men who had them in charge. No one
will doubt that a woman who could unsex
herself in this theatrical and indecent
manner would render any assistance in
her power to the treason for which she
prayed; no one will doubt that her active
exertious would be in the direction of her
open sympathies. And in the present sit
uation of Baltimore, with the enemy strik :
ing at its Communications and even threat
eniug the city, a woman with traitorous
heart, however weak her hand, might reu-
der US great injury. Yet, when General
Schenck orders this woman to join her
friends, which hope he will, we shall
hear the general howl of the copperhead
press, over the cruelty which banisbes q
woman among strangers; and the copper
head conventions will pass resolutions
deuouncing this infraction of the liberty o.
aiding treason.
All the loyal reports from the ives,
speak of the manifest benefit from the or.
der OF Gen Burnside, sending rebels into
rebellion and forbidding traitors to remain
under the flag which they are trying to de
feat and dishonor.

The Siege of Port Hudson-The Can

A letter to the Boston Journal from Port

"The rebel works are thoroughly invest
ed, and any other result than thai of event

of the Richmond, which is doing the rebels
great damage.
1.-TWO mortar batteries have also been
erected, and the laundering missiles from
these instruments are messengers of death
and disaster TO the Confederate army. A
general bombardment is kept up day and
night, allowing the rebels no rest or respite.
The corn mill inside the works and the
'commissary building have been DESTROYED
by our shell, and the six thousand men
who fought us on the 9th nit are depleted

fifty prisoners have come in daily, mainly
deserters who escaped from the rebel
trenches and came willingly inside of our
lines
"They bring.tales of destitution and suf.
fering which leads one to wonder at the
tauaticism with which many of the south
err soldiers cling to the cause of the Con-
tederacy. Poor fellowsl The mails have
not reached them lately in Port Hudson.
and they have not heard of Grants victo.
ries up the river and the defeat of john
ston's forces; SO they still take heart from
the hope that he is coming down to rein

A NV AIIY.-A year or SO ago the

slaughter of the Yankees at New Orleans

however, somehow or other failed them
and now they are making themselves han.

Con. Jenkins at Cham bersburg, Pa,
HIS contempt Tor the COpperh eRus
-Whathe thinks OF VRllamdIshRw.
Cxtract from private letter to citizen of Phila-
delphiaI published In the Press of that city.l
The rebel General Jenkins being fond of
"SWitzer case ind Larger" accompanied
some of our young men to a drinking
house. A blatant sophomore sprig 81 the
law was one of the party, aud having be.
come somewhat exhilarated, he commence.
ed to Ventilate his disIoyal and trpasonable
sentiments; he was not allowed, however.
to proceed very far, until jenkins informed
him that he discovered in him one of those
creatures termed COpperheads, and that
where he came from, they mere held in more
profound contempt than the avo.ced Black
Republicans. This should have been
enough for our assinine friend, buthe pre-
ferred to show his ears still further bv re-
terring to "poOr Vallandigham" as a great.
ly persecuted individual, who had been
sent out of our lines by our despotic gov.
ernment because of the fact that he had
exercised the right of free speech, and had
given expression to sentiments which were
interpreted as reasonable by those in power
The reply of jenkins was this: "My Cop.
Pernead- friend, your Administration did
| not do its duty. If Lincoln had perform
tSAsf 10 NC ouOulu lave QOQe,- he
would have hung him siz months 400. IF
any man in the Southern Confederacy
would utter sentiments as adverse to our
Government as VAllaadigham did to yours.
tVe t0oWld not only dsprUs him of li6ertv. but
| ice l0OuL4 take his life" Ny informant, saws
that thisshot had the effect of sending our
besotted friend home, sUberer if not a
wiser youth.
Another fact which 1 shall give YOU is
that the rebels were not In town more than
half an hour until villain went TO some
OF the leaders and informed them as to the
direction in which most of the citizens'
horses had been taken, and also thatthe
bridge at Scotland was a wooden stTuc-
ture, aud not iron, as StuArt's men had
been informed. This Gen. jenkins told 10
one of our most influential ladies. and
when she requested him to take the fellow
with them, his reply was that they would
not have such a scoundrel in their Confed-
eracy, it they could prevent it. With the
exception of stealing horses, cattle. hoes
and sheep, they did very little other dam
age, other than tsking store goods and
drugs, and paying for them in their worth
less currency. A large part of this-nine
hundred or q thousand dolIars-yas "a.
turned to them by our Town Council. in
satisfaction of . demand made for two or
three horses that were taken from them nv
some of.Our citizens.

This body met and organized on Satur-
day, June goth, and on Monday the ear
nest work of the session began: The or
ganization of both branches was made, for
the most part, to our special liking.
DR.. Spicer Patrick ofKana Wha, was cho-
sen Speaker of the House Of Delegates,
and J. N. Phelps President of the Senate.
Our esteemed friend Granville D. Hall,
of Shinnston, was elected by very flatter-
ing vote to the clerkship of the House.
Mr.. Hall has been for some time connected
| in rePortOrial capacity with the Wheel
ing LnteLLigencer, and is in every respect
we'll qualified for the position, being an ex-
cellent photographic reporter, with con-
siderable experience in parliamentary
usages. Mr.. HALLS amiabiIity, integrity
and gentlemanly department will eudear
to him every member of the House. His
election is another illustration of what a
young man can do for himself by energy
and perseverance. Granville has made
himself d scholar and acquired one of the
most difficult professions by deVoting all
his spare hours TO books instead of loafiup
about doggeries and beer halls. 1t makes
our heart glad to see such worthy young
men rewarded.
Our fellow towusman, EIIery R. Hall,
was unanimously chosen clerk of the Sen.
ate, which is also just appreciation of
merit and ability that we are happy to re-
cord. Mr.. Hall is politically one OF the
sOundest of the SQUAD aud we regard his
election as an indication that the Senate is
sound alsO.
Our young friend Kyle of Preston coun.
ty received the election of Sergeant-at-
arms in the House. Mr. K. was beaten
in the county for the House of Delegates
by Butteruut aud deserved the election
BE will make good officer.
VIM. N. Darlington, Esq, of this place,
was elected door-keeper for the House of
Delegates. Mr.. Huntington is an intense
hater of Copperheads, and we hope he will
not allow any of these serpents to pass
within the portals.
Nothing of special interest to our read
era has been done in either branch up to
the time we write.
