portant, we must not lose sight of the fact
that the power is still our main reliance
To that power alone can we look yet, for
time, to give confidence to the people in con-
tested regions that insugent power will not
overrun them. Until that confidence shall
be established little can be done there for
what is called reconstruction, hence our chief
care must still be directed to our army and
navy, who have thus far borne their harder
part so nobly and well. And it may be es-
teemed fortunate that in giving the greatest
efficiency to these indispensable arms, we al
so honorably encourage gallant men, from
commander to sentinel, who uphold and to
whom more than all others the world Stands
indebted for having disenthralled, regenera-
ted, enlarged and perpetuated the home of
freedom. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

in the cars of the Baltimore 4 Ohio Rail-
road at Fairmont on Saturday night we
noticed yesterday morning, is very enter
prising young man. He is lawyer by
profession, having been admitted to the
bar shortly before the breaking t.of the
war. Upon being searched on Saturday

sion in the rebel army, signed by John
Letcher, was found upon his person. II
is said that he also had letters of iustruc-
ton 10 which the following programme
was laid down. He was to come to the
city of Wheeling where in connection With
other parties he was to proceed to recruit
a company of renels who were to operate.
in Western Virginia the coming spring and
summer. The rendezvous WAS to be near
the mouth of Fishing creek, aud VIXEN
everything was in readiness, Compton and
his followers were to march across during
tue night within striking distance of Fair
mont and awaiting a favorable opportunity
should proceed to destroy the railroad
bridge at that place aud steal a lot of
horses. This part of the programme be-
ing successfully carried out therebels were
to hurry across the country and join the
illustrious and ubiquitous jenkins who is
tovisit Western Virginia during the early
part of the summer. This, it will be seen,
was big contract which the enterprisiug
Compton had undertaken and it is a great
pity that it was nipped in the bud, for now
he will have no opportunity of displaying
his genius excerpts in playing checkers with
his nose.
