all these interrogatories with an EN-
phatic no-no-never We want
no compromise we want no peace,
except upon the terms that those IL
rebellion will lay down their arms
and submit to the regularly constl-
tuted authorities of the Government
of the United States. Then, and
not ill then, will the people Of West
Virginia agree to peace, We have
done much and suffered much al
ready, but we will do more, and suf-
fer on for years, if need be, rather
than consent to dissolution of the
Union, which would be nothing less
than a surrender of the last hope of
human liberty on the face OF the
earth.
Fellow citizens, l now come to
what is more particularly the pur-
pose of this address and that Is, to
state to you those rules of action by
which | shall be governed during
nay term OF office:
| shall cooperate with the Federal
authorities in all these measures
deemed necessary for the suppression
of the rebellion. While the war
continues | must necessarily be en-
gagged in attending to military mat
tiers, and to the defence of the State,
and it may not, therefore, be expect
ed that shall give much time at
present to the internal civil policyxt
the State; but even amidst surround
ing difficulties aud dangers they
shall not be entirely forgotten.
shall do whatever may be IN my
power during my term Of office to
advance the agricultural, mining,
manufacturing and commercial in
terests of the State. And it shall
be my especial pride and pleasure to
assist in the establishment Of a sys-
tenn of education throughout the
State that may give to every child
among us, whether rich or poor,
an education that may fit them for
respectable positions in society. And
to yeu gentlemen of the Senate ana
the House Of Delegates, | shall look
for aid and assistance and for the ex-
ercise Of liberal policy in these
times Of trial ; and | feel assured
from your known intelligence and
patriotism, that I shall receive your
cordial cooperation and support IN
the discharge of the duties OF my
Office.
Fellow-citizens, we are about to
part with him, who has for two
years exercised tho office of Governor
of Virginia in our midst. And l
here express how highly are apprecl-
ated, not only by myself, but by the
whole loyal population Of the State,
his purity and fidelity, and the abll-
ity with which he has discharged the
arduous and responsible duties of his
office. We regret that he is to leave
us, but we have the satisfaction OF
knowing that he is going to a new
and important field whore his ability
and patriotism are still to be devoted
to the good of his country.
If l shall only be able to discharge
the duties of my Office with as much
satisfaction to the people and honor
:. 49, ~lr W. .uy ptVoov.ooO1, oh"h
expect the appreciation of g generous
public. I shall, no doubt, often do
wrong, this is the lot of man !; and
while I shall always do that which
honesty of purpose and my opinion
of the good Of the country dictates,
l shall expect you to exercise that
indulgence which is due to public
officer under the surrounding cir
cumstances.

ENR0LLaEEt OF NEGROES FOR THE
REBEL ARmY.-In the recent battles O.
Gen. Blnks on the Teche, in Louisiana
1t Is sta ed that he seized upon papers,
among which was found a proclamation Of
Gov. Moore, ordering the enrolment o.
the ablsbodled negroes in the country
roundabout for the purpose of organizing
them into regiments. 1t is said there can.
not be doubt but that throughout the ex
treme Southern States the rebels are actu
ally engaged in raising negro regiments
for it is only from such material that they
can now recruit their ranks with ablebod-
led men.
Yet we learn that further measures Of a
retalatory character have been passed
through the rebel Congress. Resolutions
have been adopted providing that every
commissioned officer who snail command
negroes for military service against the
Confederate States, shall, when captured,
be put to death; and the negroes, when
captured, shall be delivered to the State
authorities, to be dealt with according to
their laws.
The Richmond Enquirer has long ed
itorial on the subject, in which 1t seems
beset with great difficulties. Il admits
that the only chance for retaliation is in
accordance with the resolution of the .oh
Ell Congress but then, it s.sds o,rbe
Yankees will in turn b..nr our officers ;,
and closes with regular "boo-hoo" over
the misfc,rtunes of the Confederacy.

" Yesterday 4 was out with four men.
The first hiding place we found was in A
small 'hieSet between a wagon road and a
creek. One of our party accidentally
stepped INTO the top of the chimney. ~he
den had been dug in the earth, little
larger than grave. II had a snug little
fireplace, and plenty of straw and coffee
pot in it. Ii was nicely covered with
boards, with a snug trap or fall-door to
90 in at, and the whole covered with
leaves and brush so as to make natural
appearance. But there was no person
within. This was something new to us.
We then proceeded TO hunt further. On
the opposite side of where the man lived,
we found another den similar to the first,
by the side of a large log. We have Pea
son to believe there are manv such places
in this country. Therefore, the catching
of conscripts has become quite tedious
business"
But insurmountable statistics, iudepend-
ent of these interesting facts and incidents,
would show that the rebels have most of
their fighting force in the field, and that
their armies are now kept full at the i'm
portant points by the concentration there
of all their available force.
While these facts, pointing to the sure
result, should be borne in mind by those
inclined to be respondent; they ought
not to relax the vigor which should char
acterize the efforts of the government in
breaking the armies of the rebels, and of
the people in furnishing the means to that
end. Dangers of foreign complications,
dangers from Northern malcontents,
should be avoided by vigorous dealing
of blows on the existing rebel armies,
while by such course the relief of the
Umonists, be they more or less, at the
South, and the blessings of pea.e to the
whole nation, will be most economically
and speedily attained.

From the I4th Regiment.
CAMP NEAR WOLF Run SHOALS, Va, }
Nav llth. 1868.

! May llth, 1868.
DEAR HERALD
Perhaps another letter from the 14th at
this time may not come amiss. About a
month ago the Second Brigade received
orders to take the field, for which purpose
we we've soon prepared. Since then we
! have held ourselves in readiness to march
at any time, and especially for the last
two weeks-having been under orders to
move at a moments notice. We expected
to have been participants in the late battle
at Fredericksburg, but in consequence of
/ the important position we occupy here,
and the essential duty we are performing
in keeping up this picket line we could
not he there. We shall probably stay
! where we are for the present, at least, for
Gen. Hooker does not desire any more
troops in his comn:snd. whose time will be
out so soon as ours, during his summer
campaign. The 18th is the only regiment
here now. the 18th having moved to War
renton, about week ago.--We hear now
and then, of people at home, who are
finding fault with US. They say we are
not doing ANYTHING that we are living
too easily. But ignorance only, can be
the mother of such absurd talk. No sensi-
BILE person, who understood the importance
of the duty our brigade was performing,
keeping up picket hae of forty or fifty
miles. in the heart of the enemy's country,
would be heard to utter such words. But
we expect nothing different from those who
are determined not TO help the cause of
Freedom, and who are irving, by putting
forth every e9tiortf to destroy and .an,,l GGscour-
age all means employed to finish this fra
tricidal strife.
Our A tents We're taken awav from us
soon after we were ordered to take the
field, which left us with nothing hut fly
tents. Gen, Staunard and staff visited our
camn Yesterday. His head quarters are
at Union Mills.-We cannot complain OF
nothing to do. for we are put .,,,or 1r,i
anout av4rv dav. The regiment is now
learning the skirmish drill and bavonet
exercise, knowledge of which is nval-
uahle to well drllei troops. Col. Nichols
is determined to have the 18th second to
none and so are zoe. The weather is ex
tremely walm here now. The health Of
the regiment is good, aud the boys are in
good spirits.
Yours, &C., j. c. w.

Your record is proud one. You have

You have demonstrated that organize
patriotism, discipline, perseverance and

The events of the past few days will
live in the nations history, and the record
of your deeds of valor will Gil a shining
page. The recollection of our heroic
conduct will sustain you through the sub
sequent trials of life, comfort your old
age, and swell with noble pride the hearts
OF those who shall rise up to call YOU
blessed.
You stormed and took the heights of
fredericksburg, which, it is believed, was
one Of the most brilliant feats of the war.
You took three pieces of artillery and
many prisoners.
And, although you are not in possession
of those heights, YOU were not driven from
them, but left them to advance upon a
retreating foe. The fact that the enemy
is now in their possession, does not, III the
least, delract from the credit due you for
taking them.
At the battle near Banks Ford. you
sustained the attack of vastly superior
iorce-no less than three brigades--and
repulse, the enemy with great slaughter.
