We have received copies of the Rich

mel up to the 7th inst, for which we are
indebted to our friends among the West
Virginia troops, especially to General T. N.
Harris, and Sergeant Alex, Frew. of this
city. The latter writes Us that be exchan,
ged copy of the Wheeling Integligsncsr for
the copy of the Examiner which he sends
US. So that We may soon expect to hear
from the redoubtable aud ,lunconquer.

Es7We give below some extracts from these
lPapers, commencing with the following
article from the Dispatch. The article is
in relation to Gen. Lees new position as
General-in. chief of the rebel armies:
We, need say nothing to inspire conf
dsncein such leader. But perhaps We
onght to say something to prevent that
confidence from becoming idolatry; to in
woke the people of the Confederacy not to
gpqt their trust in man, whose breathli5 10
his nostrils, but to place their only reliance
upon that Divine hand which controls the
desaples ofnations, and which has hirtier-
to been interpOsed so wonderfully in our
behalf; that CPD, who is a jealous God |
and who will not permit his subjects to-
transfer with impunity the glory Of the
Creator to his creatures aud his ins,ruI
ments. All that man can do ia to adopt,
the best means for-the Accomplishment of
pnrposel and then look 10 Heaven for
its blessing.
Moreover, we have seen SO much Of pop
ular impauence and fckleness, we appre-i
Siage so strongly the difficulties of General
,4eess position, that We feel constrained to

article in forbeaTance ndiehasity, a 1alities
which may be needed befefessthis war iis
over, Gen. Leo, great tuan-that- he Il, is
neither infallible, omniscent nor omnipo
tent. Gen. " Washington often lqst battles,
land WaA often the victim OF INSTRUMENTATION
and Misrepresentation at the hands of his
Il friends. Let us not waste all our breath
4 at the beginning of General Lees new
career, but retain portion of it to sus.
tain him at the pinch of the hill. Let
US show Characterization and confdepce by
holding up his hands, by strengthening his
armies, by refraining from the croaking
that would paralyze his soldiers, by put
ting down ,gthe spirit of extortion Cend
| greed, and -pouting out cheerful contribu-
tions of material aid to the cause. The
Government has given u5 General Lee as
the Commander in. .Chief-noW let the peo.
pie do their part and give General Lee the
public spirit and unselish patriotism of
4 1861. Then, with the blessing of Heaven,
We may look forward as confidently to the
achievement of Confederate ,inde ependeuce
as the rising Of to:morrow's sun. ,,ra o,,-
From the local column of the Eraminer
we clip the following items: =.
The GAs.-We had hoped not to have
had to recur toittis subject again, when
we were assured several weeks since that
an abundance of lime had come down
the canal, and was to be applied at once to
the publication pf.the gas at the gas works.
But instead Of the Improvement promised,
the gas has grown worse aud worse, until
4 the stencil has become positive nuisance
and curse. But this is not all, nor the
,,dS7orst part Of it., The health and lives
q of our citizens are Jgopardized by this
t,eontsgion of death which impregnated
lfthe air, contracting the lungs and pro.
duclng pneumonia! We are assured
that several citizens have died whose
disease was contracted through the
agency, and 6thers are dangerously i'll
from the same cause. In the name of hu.
manity, if there be not common sense and
brains, ,euough at the gas works to ensure
a pure, wholesome supply, then let the
works be shut'Up,i and the officials sem
about some business that they better un
derstapd. Darkness would be better thar

that is ''stink. pot" in every mans house

wife and childrep's health, if not their lives
The people demand q reform right away
either better gas; or no more of it. They
will not submitto paying for corporation
, poison, desdlier than ratsbaue, at the ratt
Of fifty dollars per thousand feet.
HAVE We ANY BOURBON AMONGST Us
: The sudden death recorded on Friday
of young man who took into his stomach
: too much of the concoction $50 called
whisky, dispensed In poison doses herea
I bouts, has revived amoog old topers thu
! momentous enquiry. Have we any Bour.
bon amongst us?" We incline to theopin
, ion that the whole race OF drinks have 90
one drop of pure blood in theit compound
, and that the genuine Kentucky Bourbon il
. extinct and buried with the last scion o
the hapless house of Bourbon. That they
call Bourbon is vile pretender, and haiti
: not the Esprit" Of the ancient house o
;, Bourbon. The enquiry is answered, WI
have no Bourbon amongst us.
