Now, to shoyehow false the statement is, let

RBTHH GOLD QUESTION IN THE HOUSE, OF

ceediugs of the House of Delegates, the
resolution of DIR. Patrick, of Kanawha,
proposing to instruct the auditor to pay
the members of the Legislature and the ex-
ecutiVe and judicial officers OF the State in
gold and silver or it's equivalent excited
some discussion yesterday. With the con-
stitutional provision before them that the
Legislators shall receive but So per day,
members will be puzzled how to act
upon proposition which so nearly con-
Germs themselves. There is no doubt in
the world but the members Of the Legisla.
ture should receive more than the present
compensation in the present condition of
the currency, but we take it that very few
of them will run the risk of paying them
selves in coin as long as thepeople are COM
PEELED to take currency. The matter was
finally referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary.

The Canadian Parliament.

QUEBEC, Jan. 19.-Parliament opened
to day. The Governor, in the opening
speech, cougratulates the House on the
general prosperity and contentment of the
people and the continuance of peace. OF
the infringement of the commerce aud ter
ritory of the United States by persons who
have sought refuge on Canadian soil, he
says: In order to prevent the argsnlEation
of such enterprises within til proyinces,
and to enable me to discharge my duties
effeetually, L have seen ut to organize a
system of detective police on the frontier,
and with the same design have called out
for permanent duty a portion of the volun-
teer force of the provinces. Similar con-
siderations suggests the prophecy Of arm
ing the government with stronger pow
ers than are now possessed for the dealing
with persons who are SVailing themselves
to the right of an asylum always allowed
on British soil to political refugees. They
are unmindful of the implied obligations,
while by residence amongst US they con-
tract to obey the laws, and respect the pol
icy of the sovereign. A bill formed for
this purpose will be laid before the House,
and ask for its consideration The Gov
ernor congEstulates the House on the spirit
shown by volunteers, and ask the vote for
supplies and necessary expenditures.

The Richmond DISPATCH on the Fall

NEw YORK, Jan. ls.-The foIIowiup ia

TIE FALL OF FoRT F1sHER.-We presume
this clUses the port of Wilmington. 1t
commands the main entrance to Cape Fear
river, and will we fear enable the enemy to
blockade the river completely, giving them
as it does secure lodgment on the left
ban <. Fort Casswell and several other
works still guard the southern channel of
the river.
Fort Fisher is 80 miles below Wilmiug-
ton. Some regard the fall of Fort Fisher
as disaster, while many are disposed to
consider it blessing in disguise. The
latter who are it must be said a numerous
and sensible classicoutend that Wilmington
as sea port has from the beginning done
rs more harm than good. They say that
the goods imported through it have been of
good to US, while millions of dollars worth
of our cotton has found its way into the
hands of our enemies.
1t is proper to add that possibly our force
which according to Gen. Less dispatch,
was making heavy demonstration against
their rear, may re-take the fort.
1t was reported yesterday that John O.
Breckinridge was made Secretary of War
of the Confederate States. We could OBJ
tain no confirmation of the report in Off
cisl circles, but there are reasons for be-
lieviug it. Breckenridge was expected to
arrive in the city last night. 1t was also
reported that Col. Northup, Commissarv
General, had been displaced.

1t was referred by the President, declaring
they are of opinion that the good of the

E65-THE BIC FISHING CREEK OIL Re-.
GIoNs.-We have lately had conversation
with gentleman recently arrived from
Big Fishing Greek, below this city, In
Wetzel county. He reports the liveliest
activity throughout the whole territory in
boring for oil, preparing for mining and
prospecting, and large influx of enter
Prising people from all quarters. There
are very large and rich coal fields in the
section to which We allude, and active
preparations are being made for thorough
development of the resources of the coun-
try. The Virginia and Ohio Petroleum
Mining Company and the Piusburg and
West Virginia Company have their lands
located along the creek. The latter COM
Pany have discoVeredvery large coal fields,
and are now engaged in building rail-
road from the river to the lands, only half
a mile distant. Both of the companies are
boring for oil, with favorable prospects of
success. 1t is predicted that as soon as
the weather will permit very heavy opera
tiOns in the mining way will commence.
The rush has been SO great that the lands
are already taken. a New York company,
a few days ago, offered $4,000 for a
small tract of land near New Martinsville,
but the holders refuse to sell, as they de-
sign to undertake the development of the
treasures of their earth themselves A
large company are now boring for oil at 8
point on the north fork of Big Fishing
Creek, eleven miles from Warrington
where they have discovered a vein of tn,
finest kind of bituminous coal, fifteen fee
thick, and fifty. five feet from the sur face
a farm which was purchased some time
ago in the vicinity for $4,000, was sold
few days ago for $68, 600 in cash. Lands
which used to sell for $40 per acre nov
sell for $50 and $40. There appears to bt
little doubt but that when the Sprint
opens, operations of great extent and i'm
portauce will commence in this section of
country.

EEg-THE LATE SURPRISE OF rHE GARR1-

EkS-I The LATE SURPRISE OF THE GARRI-
SON AT BEvEBLY.-From civil officer late
ly arrived from Beverly, who was present
on the occasion of the late attack upon
that place by the rebel General Rosser, we
gather come particulars which have never
before been published. The attack was
made about three O'Clock on Wednesday
morning OF last week. The garrison was
asleep in their winter quarters aud there
were no pickets out further than three hun
dred yards from the camp. The rebels
charged right into the midst of the sleeping
soldiers, and captured one half of the gar
rison before the other half knew anything
abouttbe attack. 1t is said that the rebels
actually went about kicking on the doors
of the huts, rudely requesting the I'D
blue bellies" to get up and take trip to
Richmond. One Lieutenant belonging to
the 9Th Ohio cavalry rallied number of
men, engaged the rebels and drove them
from the bridge, allowing hundred or so
of our confused soldiers to escape. In this
eight five men were killed upon each side,
and rebel Colonel named Cashaw who is
still at Beverly, was seriously wounded.
The rebels, or rather portion of them,
remained in Beverly until the afternoon of
Thursday, and their conduct towards the
citizens is said 70 have been most outrage
Gus. They robbed the citizens of money,
clothing and vsluables of every description,
in some instances taking ear rings out of
the ears of the woman, and searching for
valuables supposed to be concealed in their
hoops. They destroyed the bridge over the
Valley river and set FIRE to the town in sew
eral places, but there were among the force
a number at soldiers who had formerly re.
sided in Beverly and whose relations own
property there, and the FIRE was extin-
guished by these men. 1t is asserted that
the rebels had nearly as many prisoners as
they had men to guard them. No doubt is
entertained but the garrison could have
handsomely defeated the attacking party if
they had had the slightest intimation of
the approach of the enemy.
