e seen by the language of the leaders, find use for it in this regiment. Men are wanted. Vallandigham's District. In the third Congressional district, which elected Vallandigham a year ago, the Union ticket received on Tuesday last a majority of 1,000. Even Butler, the stronghold of secession sympathizers, elected a portion of the Union candidates. Over this result Vallandigham is announced to make a jollification speech at Hamilton to-day. Arrival of sick soldiers from Western Virginia. The steamers Freestone and Mary Cook arrived here yesterday, from the Kanawha, having on board two hundred and ten sick soldiers, who were immediately transferred to the Marine Hospital, where temporary arrangements were made for their accommodation. News from Camp Dick Robinson. We learn from Capt. L. Olds, just from the interior of Kentucky, that the 37th Ohio Regiment. Col. John M. Connell, left Camp Robinson at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, to join Garnett, below Richm

Arrival of prisoners. --The Central train yesterday afternoon brought in another lot of Federal prisoners from Western Virginia--Three of them are deserters from the 15th Indiana regiment--an Irishman, a Scotchman, and a Kentuckian. They came into our lines bearing a "flag of truce,"improvised for the occasion from the rear portion of the Irishman's shirt. This Irishman, by the way, is a rollicking sort of a boy, and the novelty of his situation yesterday seemed to afford him much merriment. The other prisoners, fourteen in number, are Union men, or Lincolnites, from Hardy and Pendleton counties.--They came from Staunton in custody of Col. Turk, H. W. Sheffey, Richard Hardy, Philip Trout, and J. M. McCue, of Augusta.

Western Virginia. We learn from Dr. Clarke, who has just reached the city from our forces now in Raleigh county, that Gen. Floyd, with a strong force, had crossed New River at Miller's Ferry, had passed down beyond the mouth of the Gauley, and was directing his march towards Charleston, in Kanawha county. His command will probably cross Kanawha river at Malden, twelve miles above Charleston.--Generals Lee and Loring were still on Sewell mountain, doubtless awaiting to hear of the success of Sewell with twenty-five thousand men, but he himself gives no credence to the rumor, being more inclined to believe that Rosencranz had gone off with the best of his troops down to the Ohio river, and probably proceeded thence into Kentucky.--The gloomy accounts given by the Cincinnati papers of the enemy's affairs in Western Virginia would have to be put out in excuse for the actual or contemplated abandonment of that field of operations by Rosencranz for the more tempting one in Kentucky.

rn Virginia is said to be carrying matters with a high hand. Carlile, Pierpont, Jackson, Harrison & Co., are playing Lincoln on a small scale, but in a spirit of truculence and cruelty which even that ferocious tyrant might envy.--Large numbers of true-hearted Virginians have been dragged from their homes and imprisoned in the Ohio Penitentiary, in Columbus, whilst hundreds have been indicted for treason before a Federal Court, under the auspices of John. J. Jackson, of Parkersburg, who styles himself Judge. The Enquirer states that hundreds of good citizens in Western Virginia have been seized and manacled, and some even put to death in the most barbarous manner by the armed bands from Ohio and the other States. Besides these individual sufferings, it is said that the obstacles thus presented in the collection of the State's revenue, will lose the sum of four hundred thousand dollars to our finances the present year, unless the enemy shall be expelled from Northwestern Virginia.

Latest from Western Virginia--Withdrawal of Federal troops, &c. The Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 12th, has the following interesting intelligence in regard to the movements of the Federal forces in Western Virginia: The steamer "Mary CookWestern Virginia: The steamer "Mary Cook" arrived last evening from the Kanawha river, bringing from the camps near Gauley Bridge 184 sick and wounded soldiers, who were immediately taken from the steamer to the Marine Hospital. Our fellow-citizen, Mr. Quinn, who has been spending a few weeks in Western Virginia, was also a passenger on the "Cook," and from him we learn very important particulars from that section of the State. He corroborates the statement of Col. Frizell, that the entire country of the Kanawha Valley is devastateduring the past two weeks there have been continuous rains, and the roads are almost impassable. The campaign in Western Virginia is virtually ended, and preparations are on foot to withdraw a portion of our forces there, and send them into Kentu

Penetrating the Nether region. --A letter from Wirt county, Virginia, relates the following: A gentleman in the oil region in Western Virginia was boring for oil on his land, and, anxious to complete the job kept his darkies at work night and day. The nights were cold and a fire was built near the well.--About midnight they struck a vein of gas, which rushed out with great force, and igniting from the fire, shot up a great stream of brilliant flame one hundred and fifty feet in the air, illuminating the country round.--The terrified darkies broke for their master's house, and cried out: "Get up, Massa Tomkins, get up! we've broke through into hell."
