Presidential Electors for West Vir.
Rinin,

From the Fairmont National.
In addition to nominating candidates for
Governor, Auditor, &C., it will devolve upon
the Grafton Convention to appoint presi-
Dental electors. Our State will be euti-
tied to five electors--three for the districts
respectively, aud two for the State at large,
In this district we have heard but one
man named for the position, and we are
glad to be able to commend him as just the
man for the place. We refer TO our talen-
ted friend Ellery r. Hall, Esq. No faint OF
present or past disloyalty can be imputed
to him. No copperhead slime stains his
reputation. He has been an ardent friend
of the Administration from first to last
He is thoroughly posted upon the history
of men and events, and is, withal, an etfec-
tive speaker. We hope he may receive the
appointment.

We had q conversation yesterday with
Mr.. Wheat, "the member from Morgan"
as he was Familiarity known here in the Leg
islature last winter, who on the 18th of
March last,in company with Senator Bech-
toll aud the Prosecuting Attorney of Nor
gan county, was captured by the guerrillas
at his home and carried off to Richmond.
He is the same man exactly that he was
before his captivity, and we do not gather
that he has any more love for the rebels.
We feel sure that the guerrillas thought
they had caught Tartar before they had
progressed far, for Wheat is man for plain
talk every where and under all circumstan-
ces, 'if he dies for it," He told them just
what he thought of their act in his cap
ture-Of all their other acts-of all that
was connected with them and their confed
eracy. Mr. Wheat says that he was not
used roughly on his trip-not half SO much
so as he expected, and certainly nothing
like he would have been a year or two ago.
The rebels have an idea that their confed-
eracy is a long ways from fixed thing
that there is at least chance that it will
never become fixed thing, and that, there
fore, the best thing they can do is to imi-
tate the unjust steward in the Scriptures
who proposed 10 such novel way to make
the best out of his bad case. ...
Mr.. Wheat showed US a list of the citizen
prisoners who were confined in his room
in Castle Thuuder-nearly all of whom
were from other states. He TOLD his fellow
. prisoners when be entered the room that
he had not come to stay long with them
that he had left Governor at home who
was not in the habit of permitting his PEG.
pie to be stolen without at least making
an effort to get them back again, As tc
this point, Mr.. Wheat assured them thai
there would be no mistake, and he says
that he never for moment doubted Bit
speedy release, although he had no init.
nation of such thing. The first news
that he had OF the arrest of hostages on be-
half of himself and Mr.. Bechtol and the
Prosecuting attorney, was conveyed to
bin by the arrival of a copy of the Wheel
ing IntelliSeAe>r in Richmond, from which
one of the papers there made extracts
The news made him feel very juhilant.
The negroes brought papers into the
prison every morning, selling them for
fifty cents, and half sheetsa at that. He says
that it was amusing to watch their inter-
course with the Union prisoners TO whom
they were strongly and serViceably attached.
Even aIthongR watched by the guard very
closely, yet the negroes while making change
would slways have bit of outside news.
not published in the papers, as to the real
situation near the city, so far as they could
gather it from the expressed appreheusious
of the whites. A sharper set of fellows
than these negroes he says he never saw.
The Union men implicitly trusted them
in important matters and never were once
betrayed.
When Mr.. Wheat and his Morgan county
were released the other priso
ners seemed to think that West Virginia
was sure enough live State, and that she
exercised an influence in the capital Ofreb-
eldom which states of larger growth and

Germ which they exhibit for Uncle Samuel, lot

Isn't it wonderful? The telegraph announces
. gold up to sixty cents premium" and they
shrek out their pity in dismal chorus up TO

their frenzied optics and exhibit marked symp-
toms of apoplexy. But the mystery is~ they
have sympathy for the financial troubles of
Secessia. This gets Who II solve the enigma ?
Where's Edipus What can it mean? One
would naturally suppose that Jeif.'s treasury
must be overlooking, and that that illustrious
potentate had abundance Of hard cash to lend
on good security" But is this SO? If So

ton lies which are so frequent Of late. Yet

tor abolitionists in disguise? 1t is also from the
Richmond journals that We get those incredible
accounts of the high prices of -four, whisky,

that Confederate notes are at par? Are they
