WEsTV1RG1N1A LEGISLATURES.
SENATE.
SATURDAY, Feb. 6, /

4Ei, s SATURDAY, Feb. 6, 1854,
The Senate was opened with prayer b,
the Rev. Mr.. Young, member from Poca
hontRs.
Mr.. HUBBARD offered resolution re.
questing the House to return the resolu.
lions sent 10 that body in relation to the
appointment of Major General to the
command of this department.
Mr.. HUBBARD said the resolutions were
such as the Senate could not itself approve
upon second thought. He said the Gov.
ernor had fully endorsed the General al
pres Mt commanding the forces of this de-
partment aud tie passage of resolution
was refeetionTupon the Governor. Be
sides he was unwilling that the Legisla.
ture should reflect upon the government al
Washington. 4s1s ID j..
Mr.. OARsKADoN was opposed to asking
for the return of t he resolutions. If the
resolutions reflected upon the Governor OF
General Kelley he was prepared to let II
go 80. The administration Of General Ksl.
had been evil and evil continually, and II
the soldiers under his command were al
lowed TO speak nine-tenths of them would
say the same thing.
Mr.. FARRswoRTH was also opposed to
the return of the resolutions. He en-.
dorsed the resolutions heartily, because
he believed the public interest demanded
the proposed change. gsl
Mr.. Phelps also opposed the resolution
of Mr.. Hubbard. helieyed the resolu-
tons passed yesterday were right and
proper. rs9.
Mr. BRowH said he Was aware that
there was very great complaint against
General Kelley, but he was opposed to
Legislative bodies interfering in military
affairs. he was willing to trust the War
Department In these matters. They know
more aboutthsse matters than We do.
On motion Of Mr.. Atkinson the resoln-
tions were laid on the table for the pur-
pose of taking up. Senate bill No. 10, to
authorize the Board of Supervisors to lew
taxes for bounties to volunteers, and tu
exempt soldiers from taxation. The bill
was amended, read q third time and pass.
cd.
The consideration of the resolution Of
Mr.. Hubbard was resumed.
Mr.. CARsKADoN spoke of Gen. Kelley'l
lack of administrative ability. He had
permitted his (the Senstor's) people to be
robbed with tmpunity, and in Instances
where the loyal people had got possession
ot'the properly ofrebels who had robbed
them, they he'd been compelled to restor,
It. We hear now by telegraphic dis.
patches of how the rebels have been driven
from Moorefield and out of the State. Hi
would venture his vsracity that there had
been no Eight at all-nothing but a little
skirmish. He had it from a man JUS
from the scene of action that our force,
marched mp 70 Moorefield until they mel
the rebels aud then stopped and watched
them move Oh towards Stanton, firing {
tew shots after, them.
Mr.. FARNswoRTH spoke again In opposi
tion to the return of the resolutions.
Theresolution of Mr.. Hubbard was. "a.
jecteds by a vote Of noes 5, yeasls.
On motion of Mr.. Hubbard the Senat,
took recess. ~
