Don't Forget the Boys.

Of course not, but why? Because
their welfare and efficiency are vitality
important to tie well-being of the nation
and the safety of the Republic. | am
happy to discover the interest the Peo-
pie are taking in the question "Who
shall be Governor ?" / am glad TIMES,
that you discuss the qualification of pro-
posed candidates. 1t may be an illus.
ion, but let me cherish it, for it is a pleas
ant one-it really seems as if the People
we're taking profound interest in the
matter. They may be imposed upon,
but there are many who do not intend
to be. Ordinarily, we do not care much
who is nominated. The managers have
usually selected very worthy gentlemen
for the office, and as few of US have ever
INDUCED in any aspirations for the ele-
waited position, we have been content to
vote for every body brought forward by
the managers. 1t is very refreshing to
discover that there are several individ-
lals whose friends are presenting their
claims for our consideration. If it is not
a fetnt, intended to cover a concealed
out well-concocted arrangement, it is an
occasion for gratitude that there is at
east more than one clique willing to
eize the public nose. Amid their riv-
Ilries, the People, without axes to grind
nay be allowed to have something to
ay.
l am glad the convention is to be a
of the People, without dis
motion of party, although few but Re
'ublicans and War Democrats will DO
here. The Democrats are laying their
orns for the next President. You can.
lot get them off from this track. No
'eril of country or national honor will
ivert their attention from one darling
esign of securing the control of what
nay be left Of the United States in 1864.

PENDANT gently placed his hands on him
with the intention TO remove him. The
plaintiff claimed that he had a right to
be there, and that the defendant used
more folce than was necessary to remove
him. There was great deal Of con-
hcting testimony and large number of
witnesses called by both parties, showing
the extent of the plaintiffs injury, and
his capacity for performing his usual
amount of labor. The case attracted a
great deal of interest on account of the
testimony of the witnesses and the argu-
ments of the talented counsel. Verdict
for the defendant to recover his costs.

We would also recommend-if not too
saucy in us--that the society introduce
for vigorous discussion, resolution read.
ing very nearly as follows -
Resolved, That that church which al
lows any of its members to sell intoxica-
ting liquors, either with or without a IL
cense, and still fellowships him, is I'M
worthy to associate with other sister
churches; and further, that the pastor
who presides over such flock, dishonors
the cause of Christ by maintaining such
a connection.
The discussion of the above resolution
will make lively hour in the meeting if
it does no more. 1t will hurt no one,
though it may cause some heart burnings
among the first families" of Irasburgh,
and perhaps start a clapboard or two
from the "old butternut."

A New STATE.-The state of West
Virginia is now fixed fact. Hon A. j.
Boreman was Oh Saturday inaugurated
at Wheeling as the first Governor of the
state. Business was universally sus-
pended, and the citizens turned out en-
masse to usher in the new state. Bust
ness houses and private residences were
gaily decorated with flags. The day
closed with a brilliant display of fire.

Iirg distance of each other, and operat
ing all along the line of the Potomac
from Winchester to Martinsburg, anG
from Martinsburg to the opposite sid,
of Hagerstown. If by this movement
Gen. Hooker was not drawn out from
his position, then Gen. Lee was to give
orders to one of his lieutenants to cross
the Potomac and to make a descent up
on Maryland and Pennsylvania. Before
however, moving in that direction, Gen
Lee was to send several detachments Of
cavalry across the river, TO clear the
roads and to ascertain if the amount o.
provisions and means of transport to be
found in the country were adequate
to the requirements of his army. AL
these operations, as may be seen, have
been dependent one upon the other Had
the means Of transportation been found
deficient, or what is more probable, had
Gen. Hooker changed his position, pur-
sued the enemy, or done anything tend
ing to thwart the designs of the rebel
general, there is good reason to believe
that the rebels would not have crossed
the Potomac, and that their depredations
on this side of the river would have been
confined to few cavalry raids. When,
after lapse of ten days, Gen. Lee gave
the order to Ewell to cross the Potomac
in the vicinity Of Hagerstown, he at the
same time gave orders to Gen. Long
street to march from Winchester TO
Martinsburg, and send word to Hill, who
is commanding the rearguard to move
upon Winchester. AS soon as Ewell had
crossed the Potomac, and should be fair
ly on his march in the interior of the
country, either in the direction Of Fred
erick, Maryland, or Harrisburg, Penn
sylvania, (the true destination Of the reb-
ell army being still mystery then Long
street and Hill were to follow in his
track. The plan of Gen. Lee included
two eyentualities either a battle with
Hooker or an invasion Of the North
Victorious in the first case, his object
was to dictate terms of peace under the
walls Of Washington defeated, he would
have retreated upon Richmond. But
Hooker having refused to accept a bat
lie upon the soil of Virginia, Lee, de-
,irous, perhaps, to draw him by feint
If inactivity as far as possible from his
1ase of operations, was in consequence
to resort to his second scheme,
hat of invading the North. 1t remains
o be seen whether the field of Mary
and or Pennsylvania will be as good
lighting ground as the one he is now
eaving, and il Hooker will not have
,etter chance in these new Localities
han at Fredericksburgh or Winchester.

Now What's to be Done2

This is the time Of the highest peril
it may be made the time of highest ad.
vantage. The desperate audacity of the
rebels should prove their certain des-
truction. And SO it will, unless the
American people have fallen too low to
save themselves and the nation is fore
doomed to destruction. Pennsylvania
alone has able-bodied men enough, if
only one half Of them are loyal and have
the courage of mer, TO expel the invaders
from her soil and follow up and destroy
them. The army of the Potomac is
strong enough to defend Washington and
to defeat and dispense the army of Lee.
If led with any sagaciy and courage it
will do it. The rebels are emboldened
by the distraction and weakness they see
in our councils, and the incapacity and
vacllation of our commanders. Now is
the time, il overland it is probably the
last opportunity-to recover ourselves
from this state of confusion and disorgan-
ization, and to show ourselves men,
worthy of the cause we maintain, and
able to use the advantages we clearly
possess for achieving a sweeping and
decisive victory.
The change in command of the army
of the Potomac at this crisis, and in the
face of an advancing and confident foe, is
only disbeartening, as showing the CON
fusion and imbecility that prevail at
Washington. Gen. Meade, the success
sor of Hooker, is true soldier, and has
done his duty well and bravely in subor-
1inate positions, and there are at least
fewer reasons for distrust of his ability
10 lead the army than almost everybody
has felt as to his predecessor. 1t is true
hat the invading army has the advantage
IF our own in marching under tried lead
srs who hold their implicit confidence, in
he prestige and assurance of success
growing out of previous victories, and in
he expectation OF rich and abundant
,ooty if they win. 1t is true also that
,ur army of the Potomac rests in some
legree under the disheartening conscious s
less of a series of reverses that can a
'nly be lifted by a great victory and 4
hough our veterans will fight faithfully s
rom sense of duty, they cannot help
Fredericksburg and Chan c
ellorsville, and will find it difficult to I
rouse themselves to any great degree of ?
onfidence. t
We suppose Gen. Hooker would not C
ave Withdrawn from his position at this n
lost critical emergency but for the most P
lfuential reasons. He must, evidently, d
ave differed with the military aulhori- d
es as to how the present campaign shall n
e conducted, and the difference was SO I
