FRIDAY, Jan. 20.
Mr.. Golf, from committee on Taxation
and Finance, reported that it was inexpedi.
ent to exempt taxation on persons and
property, both real and personal, in Roane,
Clay, Calhoun and Gllmer counties.
Mr.. Sheetz, from the committee on
Claims and Grievances, reported that it was
in~expedient to make an appropriation for
the relief of the armed militia and officers
OF this State.
Mr.. Lamb, from tue j Judiciary committee,
reported that no additional legislation was
necessary in relation to the compensation
of Prosecuting Attornies.
In relation to the compensatinn of Jail
ors, the Judiciary committee considered the
allowance now fixed by law (35 cents per
day for keeping and supporting prisoners)
to be inadequate and in fact in some cases
hardly sufficient to cover actual expenses.
The committee recommended the passage
Of a bill allowing the jailor the following
fees: For receiving a person into jail, when
first committed, 25 cents; for keeping and
supporting him therein, for each day, As
cents; for discharging him therefrom %
cents. In cases of felony the fees will be
charged to the State, in cases of misdemea
nor to the county, and in civil cases to the
party at whose suit the prisoner is com,
mitted..
The following resolution was adopted
That the Adjutant General be authorized
to audit all Just claims Of the various squads
and companies Of militia that are or have
been in the service of this State, and all
expenditures in their behalf, whether their
services were ordered by the officials of the
State or of the United States, and all I'm

of individuals of the State against the q.

al TIE Middlebourne Plaindealer says the
rumor published last of Lieut.. Williamson's
/ capture, proves to have been correct, but
we we're misinformed as to the capture of
Doc" Lyons and j. 7. A. Hawkins. They
are both safe with their company again,
Mr.. Hawkins having received two letters
from his son to that effect, since the 'skirm-
ish., Williamson, it is thought, by run
ming a little risk, could now be enjoying
his freedom also. But We learn that he
made no attempt whatever, to escape. On
seeing the rebels approaching, he calmly
folded his arms and seated himself upon
one oil the wagons to await their coming,
preferring to 90 to prison with the hope OF
some time being released, to being shot at
while making his escape. Alas, for that
hope-it may be realized, after months of
imprisonment and innumerable ration5 Of
dog meat and mouldy beans, and it may
uot--his chance is slim. However, he ap-
peared willing to run the risk. Not SO
with Lyons; he had tried it on" at E,ch
rpond once before, and thought rather than
90 back, be wonld die OH the spot. He
concluded to make his escape or "perish
IN the attempt" and accordingly 'made
tracks The rebels called to him to halt
or they would shoot, when Doc" yelled
OUT for them to ''shoot and be Id Pr
they did shoot, but it was a waste OF am
uunition, for he was well out OF harms way
Lsfors he made that very generous request.

The Government Of the City.

Eight years ago, the control of our city
affairs passed out of the hands OF James E.
Wharton, editor of the Wheeling Times, and
passed into the hands of the party which
has substantially and to all practical pur-
poses, controlled the city affairs-I mean not
the party affairs-but the business of the
city, till yesterday, when it went into the
hands and control of another, newspaper
and partisan editor-namely, that of the
editor Of the Wheeling I~nteNigencsr. 1t is
probable that the new Mayor AID certain
members Of the City Council may suppose
they are not under the control Of the edi-
tor Of the Wheeling htsligencer: In this
however, they arc mistaken. No doubt they
may sincerely think they are their own men
and do their own thinking, that they con-
troll, not MI. c., that he is their organ
merely-but time will show that he does
their thinking and they are his instruments
[ fear, it will also prove, that as our city
affairs under Wharton went into bankrupt
cy it will do so, under the now control o.
the Wheeling Intelhgencer. ~
