West Virginia.

We copy the following very true and per-
tincnt observations, from Washington COR
respondent Of the Buckhannon Republican,
We would like to see the truths therein stated
kept before the people. II is rule in human
nature, that no one will respect us, unless We
respect ourselves. And further, we can never
fully esteem and appreciate the right Of
voting and Of making the laws, until we learn
to consider it us something belonging to US
on invaluable legacy, bought by the blood Of
our fathers, and secured by that Of our BROTH
ers in the feld-tor the safety and safe.keeping
of phieh zee and each Of u, are responsible. Then
will we have care into whose hands we en-
trus, the powers Of governmcnt-for which
,re arc csponsiblc-whom VIC choose 10 repre-
sent us in the councils Of the nation and Of
the State, to make laws which IRE arc bound 10

"Tbinking as little rs the West Virginians
do, of the real importance Of their own native
State, they would be much surprised to know
how highly she is appreciated by other por.
tons Of the United States, for the true patriot
ism and native talent OF her citizcns, as we'll
rs her varied and exhaustless internal re-
sources. Knowing this fact as do, l was
much panied, on visiting your State recently,
to see 50 little of that growing respect for, and
confidence in, Themselves and their institutions,
which should be known and felt by every
citizen Of Republic, and especially BY West
Virginia, the pioneer in reconstruction and
emancipation to make her citizens the more
earnest and prompt in whatever may contr:-
butte to her prosperity as o new and rising
State.
"But saw something worse still: Men
who, for the want Of reflection, investigation,

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,

UEELlSG, Ucc. ID, lCOf.
For months pas, bands Of armed men have
infested the State, stealing, rotLing, and
numbering, md within n short time their
nnu,bcrs and the frequency Of their ontrngeS
have alarmingly increased. Some Of them
claim 10 he rebel soldiers but whatever they
profess, they neither observe the rules Of
civilized warfare, nor regard the ciyilities Of
common thieves and robbers or the deccncics
of ordinary murdcrcrs. They are outlaws
having thrown themselves outside Of all rules
or laws, military or civil. for the government
Of society. They rove bout ia gangs. taking
from the people, at their homes and on the
highways, horses, money, or other raluablcs,
as they likc-in many instances nwaking men
from their slumberS in the dead hours Of
night and shooting them down in cold blood,
in order to plumber the more successfully.
They shoe. and otherwise cruelty treat de-
fepceless women and children in the absence
Of their protectors. They Interrupt and en-
danger assemblages Of people, met for the
worship Of God, BY surrounding in armed
force the places Of worship, arrcsting the
inmates and carrying of their property.
They abduct citizens Of our State who arc not
in any way connected with the military and
carry them into cruel captivity.
It is evident that the presence Of these pre-
datory bands is known to the disloyal Of the
sections infested by them, when unknown To
Others and that these persons DO not disclose
their presence TO those who would be able to
thWart thcir devilish purposes, but on the con.
trary give these outlaws food and conceal.

and practices. d..
On account Of the great numbers Of these
banditti, ard the fact that they always 90
Hrmed, it is impossible for the civil officers 10
nrrcst them or the civil Courts to punish them.
Indeed all TIE prisons in the State would hold
but snnll part of them. And yet the bands
are 30 small and operate with such secrecy
and celebrity, that the regular military forces,
from the nature Of their organization, are
very unsuccessful in thoir Efforts to capture
or rid the country Of Them Nor can tho
troops Of the United States now be spared
from the more important work before them.
In view Of this Anomalous npd alarming
state Of things earnestly recommend the
loyal people of the State TO organize them.
