Hope Fire Company.

There is some difficulty about the or
ganizatiou of the Hope Fire Company,
though we are not fully informed as to
the merits of the controversy. 1t is Ger
tainly the wish of every citizen that the
company may be organized as speedily
and effectively as possible, and, with a
view to promote that object, we publish
the following communication relative to
the case:
WHEELING, August 80, 1865.
EDITORS WHEELING REGISTER
There has been difficulty existing for
some time between the members OF the
Hope Fire Company and others claiming
to belong to the old company. Now l
think that the interest of the city, and
especially the portion of the city which
is the most central, demands speedy
adjustment of affairs, and that the COM
pany be permitted to 60 on in more
permanent and thorough organization.
undisturbed and unfetrered by two or
three individuals living in distant por-
tions of the city who are endeavoring to
control the company l, as member of
the old company, have had an opportuni-
ty of knowing exactly how affairs stand,
and would here say, for the benefit of
any who may censure the existing compa-
nv, that if they will refer to the minutes
of the meeting on the evening of the
disbandment of the old company, they
will find that the proceedings were con-
Quoted legally and constitutionally, and
the company disbanded by two-third
vote and reorganized accordingly. and
those who now so persistently
and Indignantly oppose the new or
ganization, having been defeated by a
vote of the company, determined
to rule or to ruin it if they could. hope
the committee on the fire department will
consider the matter carefully, and act in
consonance with those who have always
manifested deep interest in the welfare
of the Hope, and who have proven them
selves efficient firemen, and capable OF
taking care of whatever was entrusted
to.them, and not with those who belonged
to the company merely for official honors,
who when they were dethrcncd soI@hi
to break down the company hy convey
funds books, &c, were not safe i'll ir
hands of the new company, which is one
of the basest and most uncalied for decd
satiens that I have ever heard brought
against an organization of any kind
These men know that those with whom
they were associated for so long. and with
whom they were willing to associate
still longer if the same honors had been
conferred upou them, are honest and
have proven themselves such and as
such deserve the confidence of the com
munity. Now, in conclusion, would
say that the men who compose the legal
ly constituted Hope Fire Company are
the men who took hold of the apl aratils
on the evening OF the late fire on Main
street and rendered good scrvic" in
quenching the flames which threaten
ed the destruction of several large
houses; and, furthermore, they are the
men who were the most conspicuous in
the reorganization of the company in
1861, when it had been disbanded for a
number of years, and are justly descrv-
ing all that is due the company.
Hoping for a speedy adjustment IF
affairs, remain,
AN EX-FIREMAN OF HOPE FIRE Co.

THE people from thetar South who are
in Washington seeking pardons or on
business relative to their property, say !;
As to slavery, which you northerners
consider as having led southerners to re-
volta mistaken notion, let me tell you
we are glad it is abolished. The opinion
of the majority of our planters is, that
hiring negro laborers, leaving the care of
the children, women and old men to the
head of the family, will be mere remuner-
alive than slavery All those you see
now at Washington are owners of ne
groes, and all entertain the same senti-
ment"

Capture of Fort Anderson.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %,


The Navy Department has received
the following from Admiral Porter:
United States Flag Ship 4haloern,
Cape Fear RiUer, Feb. l9.-Sir: have
the honor to report the surrender and
evacuation of Fort Anderson. General
Schofeld advanced from Smithville with
5000 men, on the 18th. At the same
time / attacked the works by water, pla-
cling the monitor Montauk, opposite the
works and enfiading with the Pawtucket,
Pacific, Unadilla and Pequot, and allow
ing no more vessels to get under way.
The fort fred briskly, but was quieted by
sunset. On the 18th, at 8 O'Clock l
moved up closer, the Montauk leading,
followed by the Huron, McMan, Sassa-
Gus, Ponotusic, Moratingo, Senator, Una
dilla, Pawtucket, Osceola, Shawmult,
Seneca, Wyac, Chippcwaand Little Ada,
and kept up heavy fire through the day
till late in the afternoon. The enemy's
batteries we're silenced by three o'clock,
though we kept up fire until dark. In
the meantime Gen. Schofield was work.
ing in the rear of the rebels to cut them
off. The latter did not wait for the ar
my to surround them, but left in the
night, taking five or six pieces of light
artillery with them, and everything else
of any value. At daylight this morning
some of our troops that were near by went
in and hoisted the flag on the ranparts,
when the firing ceased from the monitors
There we're ten heavy guns in Fort An
derson and quantity of ammunition.
We lost but three killed and FIVE woun-
ded.

Volunteering.

There has scarcely been, on any pre-
vious occasion since the commencement
of the presentwar, SO satisfactory an ex-
.hibition ofthe peoples confidence in the
successful termination of the war, as at
the present time; as evidenced by the
willingness with which volunteers are
coming forward to fill the present quota,
under the late call This willingness
shows both determination on the part
of the people to sustain the government,
and an abiding faith that it will finally
triumph over all its enemies, both at
home and abroad. This is as it should
be. Let the people continue in this con-
fidence and act accordingly, and all will
soon be well.
There is less communication between
the different districts and this place, than
there was on similar occasions before; we
are therefore unable to say how many
townships are likely to avoid the draft;
so far as we have heard Buffalo, Clinton,
Middlesex, Adams, Forward, Jefferson,
Connoquenessing, Muddycreek, and some
others are either out or on the way-the
borough of Butler has had her account
squared some time since. We fear the
high figure offered for rvolunteers by veal
thy districts, may deter weaker ones from
making an effort in the good cause. We
would be glad to know that no district in
tho county would be drafted, we must
wait and see.
