As SOME PERSONS are under the impress
sion that, in our notice of the robbery Of
Peter Benner's saloon, (which appeared
yesterday we intended to. east reflections
upon our city police, we deem it but proper
to state that We meant to convey no such
idea. Benner made complaint to the Off
GERS in command of the camp on the Island,
and not to the city police, as he should
have done. So far, the present City Ser
geant and his Deputies have discharged
their duties in very creditable manner
The only objection we have heard. and the
only one we have to find, is that there is
not sufficient number of them, The in
terests of the city demand an increased po-
lice force. At present screen men are expect
cd to keep the city IN order day and night.

"DIsIoYAL."-Day before yesterday an
Ohioan came, to this city on the steamer
Odd Fellow. While on his way to this
city the Ohioan became Involved in q po
Mtical dispute with an AbolitioAist, and
s'silenced his battery" with sound argu-
ments When the steamer arrived at1our
wharf a large number of struggling SOL
diers went down to see who was aboard
The abolitionist, who had been defeated in
fair argument, and who was too cowardly
to fight his own battles, came forward and
told the soldiers there was rebel on board
the boat. The Democrat soon made his
appearance, assisting his mother (quite an
aged LADY, off the boat. He was accosted
nv the soldiers, who wished to know If he
WAS the rebel who had been talking so
lust;lv on the steamer. The Democrat re
nl;ed that he was not q rebel, and had
never uttered disloyal sentiment. All
that he had said was shat if Gen. M'Clel-
Ian had received proper assistance from the
Administration, Richmond would have been
ours to-day; that there was not General
in the field who could compare with M'Clel
Ian, and that if Mcclellan was a candidate
for President next Fall, he would vote. fer
him. Goaded on by the Abolitionist, the
soldiers commenced an unmerciful attack
upon the Democrat; showers OF stones were
hurled at him; he left his another and ran
I'D the wharf; he was followed, and beaten
in horrible manner; and then left to
"make the most of it," as the gallant ~
soldiers remarked. The injured mans
wounds were dressed by city physician,
and he left yesterday for his home.

gToTHE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
I STATES has issued the following ORDER
EXECUTIVE MANSION,


EXECUTIVE MANSION,
February l., 1864.
"Ordersd that a draft for five hundred thousand
men to serve for three years or during the war be
made on the 10th day of March next for the mill
tary service of the United States, credting and
deducting so many as may have been enlisted Of
drafted into the service prior to the lst day or
March, next and not heretofore credited.
Signed ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The number mentioned in the above order in
udes the 300, 900 called for in October last
Men enlisting before tn, lst day of March will
be entitled to bounties from the Government as
heretofore, viz; $4O0 for veterans, and $500 for
new recruits After that time no bounties will be
paid. And recommend to the Supervisors of the
several COMMITTEES to meet and offer a county bounty
of from 500 to 5000 in addition to that paid by
the Government. Under q late act of the Legis
lature this bounty may not only be levied for but
the Supervisors may borrow the money to pay the
same. All the other States are offering induce
ments to volunteers, and it seems to me that 1t
should be done in many of the counties If this
State. 1t is true that West Virginia, overrun and
laid waste in many parts as she has been, has
shown a devotion TO the cause in which we are en-
Gagged that is unsurpassed, if eQualled by any por-
ton of the country. Yet more troops are needed
They are called for and must be furnished. The
number who have volunteered under the last call
have fallen much short of what had anticipated
The State must furnish her proportion-if not by
volunteering-it must be done by draft. And
while shall regret the necessity for the draft,
assure You, if it becomes necessary, L shall aid
the Government in its execution by every means
in my power
The I'd, Sd and 9th Regiments Of Mounted In
fantry have been changed to cavalry by a La or.
der of the War Department, and am authorized
to raise two new companies for each regiment and
to appoint full complement of officers for each
company. Those who prefer new organizations
may recruit for these companies.

New YORK, Feb. ia special from the
Headquarters of the Department of West
Va, to the Herald says:
Snow and wind storms prevail here to-
day, partially interrupting telegraghic CON-
munincation.
Reports are in circulation of movement
of the rebels towards Romney. The report
lacks confirmation.
From two captured rebel letters we CLAM
some interesting information. One says
there are secret Union societies formed in
Va that the writer knows to have over
1000 members, some of them being wealthy
and Influential citizens. 1t says jeff. Davis
knoMs this and has ordered several suspect
ed parties to be arrested and that secret
agents are now on the hunt for the suspect
ed traitors.
The Tribune has letter which says Lee
has over 10000 recruits. Longstreet is now
to be strengthened. His force is said to be

She Spring Campaign

Army officers from the front represent
the opinion that within ten days the roads
will enable the rebels to move, and they
will initiate the spring campaign.
Two opinions prevail. One is, that they
will attack square in front aud try to drive
Meade within the defences Of Washington,
and tue other that Lee will go rapidly up
into Pennsylvania plundering vastly more
than last year and fighting pitched battles
only in linz of safe retreat.
The Secretary of War has decided that
the term three-fourths, used in connection
with veteran regiments, means three
fourths of the organization serving togeth
er does not include men absent in prisons
hospitals, &c. Men who have not served
two years will be allowed to 60 on furlougt
with their regiments provided it goes as al
organization If they agree to re-enlist a.
soon as they come within the limit Of re-
enlistment.
1t is probable that the Secretary of the
Treasury will, in few days, advertise the
1910 loan.
By order of the Department no volnnt eer
shall be rejected on account Of his height
