We have, this evening, received news to
the effect, that there are to be four of tbe
West Virginia regiments recalled to West
Virgins, mounted and put under commend
of Col. Duyal of the 9th Regiment for the
purpose of keeping the country clear of
guerrillas, and also TO act as check on
Jenkins and Imboden,,, Now the manner
in which this affair was gotten up renders
it altogether unlikely that We will be one
of the regiments so called upon, as Col
Harris is, with the exception OF Col Hughes
Of the Sd, theiranking Colonel of the West
Virginia service. Now as for our regiment
it is always ready to go wherever it can do
;the7 most servfse FOR the cause In which it
is engaged; yet, ifthere is any necessity Of
recalling any gthe West Virginia troops.
we think that we should be amongst the
number, being perfectly acquainted without
having, during the last eighteen months,
secuted every path, orroad, by which the
enemy would be at, all likely to enter the
country. The courage of the men is not
to be questioned, having been thoroughly
proven in their many skirmishes with the
same foe and iu which they generally came
off Victoriolts. Then why is it that We are
left out of the regiments 30 called upon2-
Our belief is that it is red tGpe-the curse
of the war, the. cause of the rebellion not
having been crushed long since. Surely We
are as asmuch,interested in the welfare OF the
new State as any who have left in defense OF
its rights. Another reason why we should
be amongst those who return is that we
have meni in the regiment from every part
OF the State, who are acquainted with'ev-
cry road and path from the railroad to
Huntsville, aud fromjt the Allegheny Noun.
tains to, the Big Kanawha river. Such
being the case, we again askTzWhy areWe
left out? Is it on occount of ony doubts
as tosthe bravery or efficiency of our Colo
mel? Most certainly, no for he has often
been tested, and always found competent
to perform any duty put upon him by his
superiors-no matter what dangers or pri-
yattons accompanied it-as proof to. which
we cite your readers to the masy compli.
mentary letters received by Col. r., while
