Quite stir was created in the above
named place last week, as We see, by a
sort Of jenkins operations on the part
,ofa clerk in Chambers 4 Mathews dry
goods store, named Craig. The particu-
lars OF the case are as follows;
For some time past the above firm
had some suspicious that Rll was not
right in this quarter, and at lust they
became so strong that on Saturday
evening lust they discharged him. Craig
was very indignant ut this treatment,
and demanded an explanation. They
Mt first refused to inform him, but he
insisting to know, they Mt last informed
HIM OF their suspicious. Having no
direct proof that they had suffered Mt

one hundred and titty.siX dollars,
which amount he refunded, weeping
tears Of penitenrial grief. The above
coming 10 the ears of Mr.. John Baird,
Adams Express agent mt this point and
who for some time back had been re-
ceiving packages from Craig, directed
to II lady in Parkesburg, called upon
his employers and made the case
known. BY tslegraphing to Wheeling,
one package sent on Saturday morn
ing, was returned on the mail
train that evening, which, upon
opening was found to contain
shnwls, collars, &c, which Chambers

Ills departure, and persons being sent
in pursuit overh0ulcd him ut CannonS-

WEhave received a copy of the Win
chester Ne'rs-a neat, trim little paper,
that We hope will do much good in that
locality. 1t flies the name of Robert
Y. Conrad at the head Of its columns
for Congress, and says:
It will DO seen by the correspondence
In another column, that Robert Y. Con-
rad, Esq.,, has consented TO allow his
name to be used In connection with the
Congressional election in this District.
Mr.. Conrad Is well known throughout
the State for his legal ability; and was
member Of the Virginia Convention
Of 1851. lie has taken but little part In
politics since the war, or, in fact, be-
fore 1t.
Mr.. Conrad was one OF those gentle
men who did great deal Of harm In
the Virginia Convention. He was
Chairman of the Committee on Federal
Relations, and paltered with secession
whom he should have put his foot down
upon It. Hewas TO blame for not OK
erting his great talents In tho right d.
rection from the start. A half-dozen
such mon us he could have saved the
Valley, IL not the State. And tho re-
sponslbillty for not doingso will always
rest upon such men as himself, Alex.
H.H. Stuart, Col. Baldwinaud Samuel
Mcdowell Moore, Mr.. Conrad Is, per-
haps, as good a man as can be had
about Winchester, but We could wish
for better one.

bes Of tho 9th West Virginia cavalry,

columns. Tho writers should bear in

overlook, that allowing all they claim

disposed to do thelrmertts every Justice,
there still remains tho one drawback OF
dIsobedlcnco to orders, which neither
they, nor We nor any OF their we'll
wiahers can dispose Of. Their status is
precisely as hdjutant General Pelrpoint

and they must learn SO tolock upon 1t.
