TIE rebels here never ceased to declsim
about the vital Importance of their doc
trine of State Sovereignty. They declare
that they could never live with us in the
Union because we would not recognize it.
They say that they have plunged into war
to vindicate it, and will never consent to q
peace which does not have State Sovereign.
ty as foundation.
Now it is remarkable that whenever
the citizens of rebel State begin to talk
about separate State action, these fluent
rebel DISCLAIMERS at once forget all their
fine words about State Sovereignty and
insist that no State shall stir without the
consent of all the other States and Of
the rebel Central government. We all re-
member how the organ of the rebel gov
eminent lectured the North Carolinians a
few weeks ago, when it was feared that the
old North State might resume her place in
the Union. How promptly and earnestly
they reminded her that she could not even
be allowed to remain neutral, that If she
attempted to leave the confederacy, her
territory would be at once oVerrun by the
rebel army for the security of the rebel
government.
Lately, as our readers know, a number
OF Southern men, prominent among whom
is Alex. H. Stephens, have been speaking
in cOmmendation of a convention of North
ern and Southern States. We do not now
propose to discuss the plan, but merely to
refer to the spirit in which this scheme for
separate State action is received by the
blatant Richmond advocates of State soy.
ereignty. The Richmond Sentinel is the
organ of JEFF. Davis's government. Hear
what it says:
"Nothing could be more fatal than the
adoption of the plan of State negotiation.
That il would be fagrantly unconstitu-
tional needs not be affirmed; because it is
readily admitted. Mr.. Stephens, indeed,
looks to the authorization of Congress and
the President as curing the defect: but it
is new thing under the Southern sun, and
comes with very poor grace from those
who have been so noisily championing
State rights of late, to teach that Congress
cap alter the limits of the constitution,
either by the usnrpation or abandonment |
of powers, and that the Confederate gov
eminent, the mere creature, can confer |
prerogatives and privileges upon the SOW
sreign States.
That unity of action, whether for war'or |
which is seen to be discreet and
necessary in itself, has been wisely oIdain-
ed IN our articlesIof political confederation.
Indeed it is its main and leading purpose

The Army OF Western VIrgInIa-WhO
was to Blame for the Surprise At
Cedar Greek.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Nearly all the accounts published in the
New York press of the important action OF
the nineteenth October 10 the Shenandoah
Valley, attribute the mornings surprise
and disaster to General Crook, or the OH
GERS or men of his commend. These &C
counts were literally transferred to the
columns of Western newspapers, and, In
the absence Of any correspondence- from
writer's with General Crooks troops or OH
cial reports, our people have been led to
believe that for once the gallant little army
of Western Virginia had failed to do its
whole duty in agreat emergency. From
official information in our possession, 1t
would seem that these reflections were
made by writer's interested IN blowing the
trumpet of the Sixth corps. Nor is this the
first time Eastern correspondents have in
dulged in such invidious distinctions. On
the occasion OF Sheridan's great victory of
September. q veteran officer took occasion
to call the attention of the public TO such
Injustice through the columns of the Ga
zstte. Official reports are sure to set these
matters right eventually, but it is not right
that brave men should have to await for
such tardy justice. e no
Il should be borne in mind that General
Wright, of the Sixth Corps, was in COM
mand of the whole army in the absence of
General Sheridan. he had ample warning
that the left was in danger ; that to give
timely notice of rebel movements in that
quarter it was necessary to have cavalry
on that flank. Col. Thoburn, of the Sec-
ond Division, commanding on the left, had
only two weak brigades, and was separated
from the rest of Crooks command and the
army, By distanee Of more than mile.
If the enemy were not observed by cav
airy it was perfectly practicable for the
rebels to mass their forces just outside OF
orr picket line and crush Thoburn's small
command before aid could reach him, and
thus turn our left flank. Dol. Thoburn no
doubt supposed cavalry was there. Gen
Wright had said it should be there, but 1t
was not hence the surprise. For this we
state-and we make the statement advised
ly-that neither Gen.sCrook, Col. Thoburn,
nor any of Crooks command were blam-
The New York correspondence has en- :
deavored to makeit appear that Crooks
CORDS broke worse than others. This is
simply not true. The corps on the right
of Crooks had less excuse than they, hav
ing more time to get ready; but the trath
is the division of Crooks army under Col.
onel R. B. Hayes, covered the retreat on
that part of the line. There was at no
time any Union troops between them and
the rebels. Fortunately, the timely arri-
val of General Sheridan restored all ex-
cept the lives of the brave and noble Col.
Thoburn, and the other gallant officers
and men who were crushed there.
We are assured that official reports will
make this all clear, but in the meantime
and in justice to one Of the bravest and
best armies that ever faced foe, we ask
the public not to PREJUDICE or hastily con-
denim those whom the Eastern press habit
ually either ignore or misrepresent.

Wright Kelley:

nandinR an independent company OF scouts and ran
gers shot Of BE men ~ not IS,oI.S ~ te
merits Of tho case"
In Justice to Capt. Kelley, brave and
eticient Young officer, permit one scqualnt-
efl With the facts of the above mentioned
case. to submit the following statement
TO the public through your columns.
Capt. Kelley's company has been for
some time past stationed at New Greek
"A detail from the company, among them
the man Jones, who was shot, had been
stationed at Bridge No. II, B. q o. 3. R.,
under command of Lieut.. Gould.
On Saturday morning last Jonea Left his
post without permission and went to New
Greek. AS soon ss Capt. Kelley discover
ed him in camp and ascertained that he
was there without permission, he ordered
him TO return to his post. This he failed
to do, became intoxicated, and visited Capt.
KelIey's quarters, behaving in very dis.
orderly manner. The Captain ordered him
to be quiet and again directed him to re.
turn to his post. This he refused to do,
replying to the Captain in abusive and in
sulting language, threatening him with
violence, finally catching hold Of, pushing
and striking him.
For the sake of example, to enforce dis
cipline, and In self.defence, Capt. Kelley
drew his pistol and shot Jones, causing
his death In a few minutes.
Capt. Kelley, although regretting the ne
cesity for such action feels conscious that he
did no more than his duty in the premises

(ss it has probably ere this writing closed

they will honorably acquit Capt. Kelley o.

mEETING TO-NIGHT'

The Rev. j. NJ. Thoburn, brother to our
late lamented fellow Citizen Col. ThoOnfh'
snesks to night for the Union cause at
,ho Ceurt House. At the breaking out OF
the war he was missionary in India and
.ince his return some months ago he has
engaged a good deal in delivering public
Lectures descriptive of his experiences
abroad-especialIy in that distant and ia
b,ed land which was the field of his mis-
siouary labors. Among other things, his
effort has been to convey to the nearer an
impression of his feelings on learning that
his country was plunged into civil war;
and that the Union and the flag which was
his boast and pride among strangers, were
menaced by a most formidable rebellion.
This feature in his public lectures we
have seen highly commended in our e1-
changes. and we can readily imagine that
the simple recital of loyal Americana
feelings under such circumstances. must
be very impressive. We hope to see a
large tnrn out this evening. 1t will be an
interesting and instructive occasion. Pro-
vision will be made for seating number
of ladies, and the Committee of Arrange
ments would be pleased to see as many of
them in attendance as possible.

Wa poiut with pride to the vote cast by
two companies of the 9th West Virginia
regiment, as reported this morning in an
other column on this page. The record of
our West Virginia soldiers is something we
glory in. They are known to the country
as among the choicest troops in the field,
and they are known to their friends at home
as reliable everywhere and all the time at
the ballot box. See how consistently their
lighting and their voting have gone hand
in band ever since this war began. Let
us, their friends, see that our defenders are
not fianked by the allies of the rebellion at
the rear. Can we not protect the aauks
of the noble column that stands between
us and the foe2 If we fail to do so, We are
unworthy to have such sacrifices made in
our behalf. Our brave boys only ask from
US the poor ptttance to be true to them and
ourselves next Tuesday. Shame on US if
we disappoint and desert them.

Editors Imslligenesr :

1t occurs to me, that it weuld subserye
useful purpose if you would state it through
your paper, for the benefit of voters, but
more especially for the benefit of the of.
GERS of election, that in voting at the Pres
idential Election, the ballots are cast for
the Electors named on the ticket, and not
for the candidates for President and Vice
President whose names appear thereon /;
and that the officers Of election win certify
that each Elector (meaning them) received
SO many votes, and not that the said can
didates received so many. It is probable
that most persons understand this but
feel sure some do not. and hence have
thought 1t proper to call public attention
