WEST VIRGINIA WAR.

WHEELING, July Is.
To Hon. George W. McCrary, Secre-
tary of War:
The Legislature of 1875 prohibited
the enrolment of the militia of this
State. There is now but one volunteer
which is valuable in this
emergency. No doubt, within ten
days, | could organize a force sufficient
to suppress any riot, but in the mean
time much properly will be destroyed,
and what is more important, valuable
lives lost. | regret the necessity, but
have not hesiiated to assume the re-
sponsibility, of applying TO the Presi'
dent for assistance.
