14. attack on secessionists, at Wayne Court House, Va., August, 1861.
Perhaps nowhere in Western Virginia has there been a viler nest of secessionists than at Wayne Court House, the county town of the county, lying on the Kentucky line.
Their leader, Ferguson, was some six weeks ago taken by Colonel Zeigler, of Camp Pierpont, and sent to Columbus, Ohio.
This, however, did not abate in the least their acts of tyranny and oppression.
We are glad now to report that the gang has been broken up and their leaders taken prisoners.
On Saturday last, 24th of August, Captain Smith was detailed with fifty-three men from Camp Pierpont, which is at Ceredo, in Wayne County, now under command of Colonel Zeigler. Captain Smith and his men reached the Court House, a distance of twenty miles, about daylight on Sunday morning, and took possession of the place.
Some of the troops went to the Court House and rang the bell, which appeared to be the signal for the rebels to rally.

41 Boston resolutions, adopted at a meeting held in Faneuil Hall, September 9, 1861.
The resolutions were presented by Wm. C. Williamson, Esq.
Resolved, That, in the noble words of Joseph Holt of Kentucky, What we now need is a patriotism, which, obliterating all party lines and entombing all party issues, says to the President of the United States: Here are our lives and our estates, use them freely, use them boldly, but use them successfully; for looking upon the graves of our fathers, and upon the cradles of our children, we have sworn that though all things else should perish, this country and this Union shall stand.
Resolved, That in the language of our own General Butler, in this crisis, there must be no compromise, no yielding; nothing but the strong arm, until the glorious flag of the Union floats over every inch of territory that ever belonged to the United States of America.
We must have the whole of this country under one government, and we have but one du
