John S. Carlisle for mob violence.

--We have positive information that John S. Carlisle, on Wednesday last, while on a visit to this place, openly expressed his willingness to head a mob to destroy the bridges on the North western Virginia Railroad and tear up the track for the purpose of preventing Virginia troops form coming to this section.--His reason for this proposed mob violence was a desire on his part that troops from Ohio might march through here, occupy this section of the State, and old Lincoln in his unholy war on the South. We are glad to state that he found not one assenting voice to his proposition.--Parkersburg News.
