this character, a majority only of the members actually elected (and not a majority of the whole House, whether the vacancies were filled or not.) After some discussion, on motion of Mr. Rutherford, the appeal was laid on the table. Mr. Wynne offered a resolution that leave be given to a Special Committee to bring in a bill to incorporate the Dover Coal Mining Company, which was adopted; and the Speaker appointed the following committee under the resolution: Messrs. Wynne, Steger, Thomas, Payne, and Cazenove. Mr. Rutherford offered a resolution that the Committee on Courts of Justice be instructed to inquire what in their judgment, is the number required to constitute a vote of the House, which was adopted.

subsisted by hosts who, poor at all times, are now hardly able to subsist themselves. But I am confident no movement of this kind is intended. General Schoepff's brigade has been moved South, five miles from Somerset, to the river, and General Thomas has now possession of this place. General Manson's brigade occupies the entrenchments at Mill Spring, where they cannot long remain unless they can subsist on half rations, as at present. General Wood is at Stanford, and, with a thousand lawing fired at Fry at the moment Zollicoffer turned from Fry having discovered his mistake Ewing thinks he hit Fry. Fry's back was towards him at the time; says it was impossible for him to have shot Fry's horse in the side. He says that had not Thomas appeared at Logan's Cross Roads at the time he did Crittenden would have retreated without a fight. He says they were entirely destitute of provisions, and were gradually being surrounded. He says they had in camp on the 18th only two days prov

This movement, following close upon the order for the impressment of saltpetre, will probably cause monopolists and extortioners to open their eyes, and may result in a purification of the moral atmosphere, so devoutly prayed for by every honest member of the community. If we are correctly informed in regard to the intentions of the Department, there may be no necessity for the passage of the bill introduced in the State Senate yesterday by Mr. Thomas, of Henry, which makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine, for any person to manufacture or cause to be manufactured, any whiskey or other spirituous or malt liquors out of any corn, wheat, rye, or other grain, except that grown by himself or those in his employment. But to illustrate the need of some prompt action to check the growth of the evil, we may state that in one county in Western Virginia nine distilleries have been put in operation since the commencement of the war. This is b

fice it to say, that for a very light motive, Paul thought it unavoidable to send a challenge to Thomas, who, being a very courageous man, accepted it unhesitatingly. Seconds being named on both sideld be taught at thirty paces, itimating that they were more than in earnest. At the first h Thomas putting his fore-finger on the trigger of the barre which was unloaded, aid for fire His secondat a pity two such brave fellows should thus put their lives in jeopardy for an ingioous cause. Thomas's seconds renewed their enemies, declaring in a most emphatic manner that they had obeyed the code of honor in its fullest extent; but the others insisted on having another trial, unless Thomas would offer excuses. As this was out of the question, the uns were loaded again. This time eithe most painful manner.
