as submitted proposing a vote of thanks to the Cadets engaged in this city the last six weeks, and that they receive each a compensation of $32 per month for their valuable services. The ordinance under the previous question was now put in its original form, allowing $20 per month, and a separate resolution of thanks was also put, and both unanimously carried. Mr. Goggin offered a vote of thanks to the two young ladies who so heroically give notice of the approach of the enemy at Phillippi. Put on its passage and unanimously adopted.

Grafton, June 14. --Information, thought to be reliable, says that fifteen hundred Confederate troops are in the neighborhood of Beverly and Phillippi, and that an attack will be made on the latter place. There can be no doubt but that the Secessionists in Western Virginia have been largely reinforced, and soon a grand movement is contemplated. The Federal troops will be equal to any emergency and large reinforcements will probably reach, here in a few days. A force sufficient to guard the Cheat river bridge has been sent forward from here. "Governor of Western Virginia." Wheeling, June 19. --Frank Pierpont, of Marion
