WIrt County-why NO LooaI Bounty
has been offered her soldiers.

VI 49, w. A. APIII y 1864.
Editors Lnteiligtneer
noticed in your issue of the 3O,h Of
March, 1864, au article from tho re enlist.
cd soldiers from Writ county, belonging to
the LIST Regiment ". Va. V. V. Cavalry, ia
which the following paragraph occurs:
while other counties of our State are
paying 6ouHiiss to their UoiWnteers, It is sur.
PrisinG TO Us that no such measures are
undertaken nOr even spoken OF In the conn.
y of Writ" And again. "Her citizens
at home have lived 10 ease aud safety, sell
dom suffering from rebel raids. &c"
Now, Messrs. Editors, as there has been
a great deal said aud some misu uderstapd- :
ing about Writ county concerning this
matter, | would say first, that Writ county
"a, and has been partially in an morgan
iGed State Of civil government ever since
the present new State government has
been in operation, therefore we have had
no Board Of Supervisors of the county or
other tribunal whereby q local boi,ntv
could be levied and collected for our 'soi.
disrs in tne field. Add secondly, that onr
laurel crowned veterans in the lat CaysIr%
Regiment, of whom We are prond. are a
lItIts mistaken when they say we have liy-
ed IN ease aud safety, &c. The writer of
this article thinks be would be safe in saw
lng that Writ county has had enough prop
erty destroyed by the rebels since this re-
6eilton was inaugura.ed TO pay at least
Two thousand dollars as bounty to every
soldier she has seat TO the national army.
This may look like "tall figures" TO some
people, but let any person that is acouaipt-
ed with the adairs OF our county make the
calculation and see II am not under the
figures. The destruction of the great MI
wells In our. county by Jones' band of chi
throats IN May, 1868, was loss Of one
hundred thousand dollars alone, to saw
nothing OF the vast amount of horses, store
goods, &C., of which our citizens have been
robbed. do not pretend to say, that Wirt
county ought not to pay her soldiers any
bounty. but to the contrary, most assur.
eddy think she ought. only wish to give
an explanation aud set our humble. bnt
loyal county, right before the public. Wa
would not have been behind any OF our
sister counties 10 this benevolent and mai.
riottc system of local buuniies, paying 10
the defenders of our common country, ifft
mad not been for the unorganiEed state OF
our county as aforesaid.

VINO IL Responsible for the War.
The following extract from the speech
of Hon. Green Clay Smith, delivered ut
Lexington, has truth aud point.
You may denounce the Republican par.
~, and say what you will about them, but
listen to a point in The history of the
country, while the Administration was
still 10 your possession, The great ques.
ton was the negro. In the session of
Congress In 1850. the South asked that
the Consultation be amended for thsspro.
lection of slavery. They had majority
10 the Senate. The Committee of thirty
three proposed,to put slavery beyond in
terterencs. Mason, TOOmbs and SlidelI
said, "You may propose what you please,
but we .dou't want it-won't hsve il. We
Intend to go out, aud form an independent
government. We know it will produce
war. Slavery cannot live under a Rspub-
liean government, and we require despo-
tim TO keep negroes In their places. I'VE
can use the negro to rAipe crops, and nut
every white man iu the South in the field.
and thus whip the white population of the
North, and we will do it," II they have
the right to take and use negroes, as lie.
CLIMATE means of warfare, we, too. have
right to employ them.
On whom rests the responsibility for the
five hundred Thousand lives lost in tbis

men of Kentucky, while they could frame
long bills OF indictment against the Pres.
idsnt and his armies, could MT trust their
property ia tue hands of the Rebels. But
as soon as the Yankees cams, they brought
back their cattle, ADD trusted their rights
to their merctes. Yet they attempted 10
get majority of the Legislature OF the
State TO carry Kentucky into the rebellion,
and failed.
They would not furnish a dollar or a
man for the Government; yet wheu they

Yates. From these Border States, Ohio,

poured Into our State. The gallant Rous.

A friend who visited, last week, the Horse
Neck Oil Region, commonly known by the
name of Bull Greek Oil Region, aud sttua-
ted in Peasants county, W. Va, twenty
miles northeast from Parkersburg aud I've
miles from the Ohio river. on branch of
Bull creek, informs us that the excitement
about the great Gil6llen flowing we'll in-
creases daily and hundreds of persons are
visiting it. The company owning the we'll
are erecting three large wooden cisterns
capable of holding twelve hundred barrels
each. The pipe conducting the oil from
the we'll is so plugged as to leave an Oriice
of a half inch for the oil to fow out On
Wednesday morning last this half inch
stream was turned into CiSteru number
one and in three days and nights it was
filled brimiug full. Surrounding the well
are a number OF pits with au aggregate
area of an acre now flied with oil to the
depth of Eve feet. Aquantity of oil, upon
tapping the oil stratum, flowed of into
Horse Neck Run and was lost, aud these
pits we're then dug for saving portion of
the flowing food of oil, which could not by
any means be entirely restrained. Expe-
risncsd oil men assert that if the we'll was
permitted to aow to it's full capacity its
yield would be from twelve to fifteen hum
dred barrels . day.
We have also learned from an interested
party that one half of the Gilfllen flowing
we'll has been sold to a company of eastern
capitalists for ninety thousand dollars.

The election the other day in Connecticut
was all 90 one side. There has been no
20 sweeping triumph for any party in that
State for thirty years. The Copperheads
tried the "still. hunt" dodge, but il was OF
NO use. The people had made up their
mtads that tie rebellion must be mt
do|o, ADD they voted as they thought
would clearly indicate that determination.
That 10 the whole story. There was good
work on the right side, bus not nearly 30
much of IL as 10 1850, when the Rsp8bli.
cans carried the State by / 900 msiority.
or last year, when the other Seymour was
beaten By $500. Now, the Uuiou majority
on the Safe ticket is probably something
over 5000, and the new Legislature us
right aS book. The State is overwheIm-
ioGly for the Union cause and for the can.
