Charles H. Upton, Representative in

ed by Extra Billy Smith, now ono of
the monarchists, returned from Wheel
ing yesterday, bearing with him the
Declaration of Independence of the
Wheeling Virginia Convention, which
he has been instructed to lay before
the President of the United States, and
which duty he performed this morning.
It is a document of superior ability,
and was drawn up by Daniel Lamb,
Esq., cashier of the Wheeling Bank.—
Carlile; Pierpont and Lamb are the
leading spirits of this great movement
—Carlile being the orator, Pierpont,
the provisional governor, and. Lamb
the calm, deliberate, conscientious
counsellor. The declaration was
signed,.mi the day it wa§ passed, by
fifty-six members—exactly the nn tuber
affixed to the original Declaration of
Independence of the Thirteen Colonies. :
SUbsequentlY other members gave. it
their signature. At first, but thirtY-,

Notwithstanding the strong Union
sentiment at Wheeling,,a good deal of
apprehension 'continues to;prevail in

been surprised by the traitors, but for
the coufagd — arid tivo
die,S, Mrs. " 'Lawrence 'Billloble, "the
widow of a Douglas Democratic editor,
and Mrs. Ella MeMechen, a lady of
Pennsylvania connetitions. It appears
that a domestic circle of one hundred
ladies,. 'composed, of the elite of the
town; had been formed, of which the
two ladies referred to are members.—
In this association, when treason began
to be plotted, ten of the ladies retired,
and Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. MeMechen
exposed the designs of the prominent
male actors to the public authorities,
and so saved Wheeling. The indigna
tion against them among their former
friends was such that some ninety of
the ladies hung them-and burned them
in effigy.
All kinds of ruiners prevail in and
about 'Wheeling of intended attacks
upon that 'post, precisely as they pre
vail in this quarter, in regard to the
movements of the Secession tooops.
Colonel Kelley wais much better, and
will be at Wheeling on Saturday next.
The Convention have passed an ordi
n4nce, directing the people to pay no

especially to repudiate the war debt.
What will be done with the internal
inipreVement debt has not yet been
decided, but, inasmuch as the tide water
counties have reaped moat of the ad
vantages of the public works, it would
be paying the traitors in their own coin,
if the patriotic citizens refused to rec
ognize it. • The spirit of the people of

The Battle of Booneville,-The' ails
of the Fight —4,000 Ribels Routed
and the Field Occupied in Tuienty
Minutes.
(Correspondence of the N. Y. Herold.]
BOONEVILLE, Cooper county, June
18, 1861.—The boats moved up to a
landing eight miles 'below-Booneville,
on the. south ,side of the river. Heil)
they fastened to the shore, and the
troops were debarked. A farmer at
work in a field near the landing stated
that the enemy were isi.camp four and
a half miles from that spot, or three
and a half 'miles below - ToOneville.—
The level bottom land of ,the Missouri
was hero half' `mile'iri 'width to the
bluff, but; it gradually ,narrowed as it
()Aoudad up:the river, until it termin
ated .where the bluff came to the
water's edge, two miles from the boat
landing.
The road followed fora mile and a
half idong thlg, bottom, and then as
cended the blffff. The latter is a range
of low hills or , ridges, about two huh- .
dred feet' in 'height, which are separa
ted .by ravides, some of them with
quite precipitous sides. The order of
proceeding' Was as follows : Ten mount
ed .men,,the enly cavalry in :the expo
ditien; Jed the' advance;, scenting par
ties, detached from the Second Regi
ment, were thrown out for half a, mile
on the left, and to the river on the
right; General Lyon's company of
regulars,: led_r byq't.„,erept :Griffin, and
Coin Pliny B; df the SeOon'd Regiment,
commanded by . Capt. Schulte, followed
the cavalry; trapt. Tetten's battery of
artillery, and his company of regulars,
the latter led by Lieutenant Lathrop,
came next, followed by Colonel Blair's
First reginient; the rear was brought
up by a battalion from Col. Boernstein's
regiment, led by Lieutenant Colonel
Schaeffer.. -:On• board the boat was
Capt. 'Richard:lOn with - Company D,
First Regiment, and Capt. Boastep,
with twenty men and a Beige (eight
inch) howitzer.
At just three minutes before seven
A. M., on June 17, the order was given
to move. The *morning was cloudy,
with occasionally a few drops of rain,
but before the battle was over the sun
shone out clear and bright as ever.—
As the column ascended the bluff, the
pickets of the enemy Were seen and
driven in.
After an advance of three fourths of
a mile, one of the advanced guard rode
hastily back to, the bead of the column,
and informed General Lyon that the
whole body of the. State, troops was
drawn up a few undred yard's, in
front., Gen. Lyon at once ordered yards,
regulars under,Sergeant Griffin to the
left, and Capt. Schulte's riflemen to the
right. Capt. - Totten's battery was
ordered to the front to occupy the
road.
The enemy were drawn up about
three hundred „yards in advance, on
the crest of a hill, or rather a long
swell or ridge, over which the road
passed at the- highest point. The'
road was occupied by Col. Marmaduke,
with alsmall body of horsemen and a
battalion -of 't!ifiintry. Immediately
on hie. : left war,, brick !house filled
with rebel troops, and back of this,
towards the river, was a narrow lane,
where his left wing was posted.
To their reawvas a wheat field, and
in this was miscellaneously scattered
small crowds of men, apparently with
out
order or regularity. To his right
was another• wheat field, separated
from an adjacent corn field by a "worm
fence," and behind this fence his right
wing was posted. Soon as our men
were in position Capt. Totten unlim
bered 'a twelve pounder and it six
pounder, and sent a shell from the
former into the midst of the men oc
cupying the road. A puff of smoke
rising among theM showed that the
gunner's aim had been true.
The next shell was directed upon
the squads of men in the wheat fiield,
and caused them to make a hasty re
treat. The fire now became general
along the whole lino; the regulars on
the right and the man - troops on
the left adVancing in good order.--
Our lino was formed on a ridge simi
lar to that- occupied by the •enemy,
and parallel to it, separated from the
latter by a valley with a gentle descent
on either side. To our left was a corn
field, and on our right a copse or grove
of scattered oaks. _
The regulars adVinice'd in the corn
field, to the crest of the ridge, creeping
up the latter and firing when oppor
tunity occurred, taking for their motto
that of an Irishman at Donnybrook
Fair, "Whenever you see a bead hit
it." The hollow between the ridges
was full of scattered oaks, and these
served as a- cover - to our men. Capt'S
Stone, Coleyand cayender, were sent
to, support, Alio right of the regulars,
and in this:Way they - all advanced to
the fence where the enemy were at
first posted.
The battalion from the Second, sup
ported by Captains Maurice's, Burke's
and Yates' companies, were at the
same time doing good work on the
right; and in twenty minutes from
the time Capt. Totten fired the first
shell the rebels were in full retreat,
and our men occupying the lino first
held by the enemy. The house on the
right bad• been completely riddled by
the last shots from -the battery, and
one shell burst in the very centre Of
the building at a time when it was full
of soldiers.
Several dead bodies of the rebels
were found in the wheat field near the
lane • showing, that our fire had been
effeCtive. In' facts at' the first volley
*Om the right wing several saddles
were emptied of their riders, and 'two
horses galloped over to our lines.—
The correspondents of 'the New York
Herald and St. Louis Democrat entered
the battle on fhot, by the side of the
battery, but wore very soon mounted,
having succeeded in capturing . these
runaway steeds. From this point the
Union troops proceeded still in line,
for nearly a mile, over ground some
what uneven, but not rough. In a
grove at the entrance to Camp Vest
the rebels made a brief stand, but two
shells and a few sounds of Minie balls
speedily dislodged them, and they fled
in tumultuous haste, towards Boone
villo. Capt. Cole, Supported by Ca t pt.
Miller,- entered and took possession of
the camp, capturing a large quantity
of provisions, ammunition, rifles and
camp equipage.' .Ile secured one se=
cession flag, one lone-star flag, and one
Statellag, with' fifteen stars.
The number of killed and wounded
on the part . of the rebels has not and
probably will not be accurately ascer
tained. Many of thoserfightinkioniitb
rebel side were " loose"men," not en
rolled in any eompay, and fled in large
numbers, not to any rallying point,
but directly home, thinking, doubtless,
that there was some mistake about the
popular ,belief that Union troops wore
cowards. Out of one company (Capt.
McCulloch's Cooper County Rifles,)
thirteen aro known to be killed and
several wounded.
The number ofdead already brought'
into Booneville,ortaken to, friends in
the country, cannot fall'much 'short of
fifty,. and.
,thewounded now .heard of
afo as . many more. SeVeral shells
were burst directly in their midst,_ and
the Mini() balls flew thick and fast
.CTOW i t4o rifles of-our ~soldiers, s& that
the' InOrtality list•miukhivve'been quite
large. On the side of the Union troops,
there were three killed , ten wounded,
and one missing.
We took eighty prisoners, nineteen
of whom have beenreleased, and the
remaining sixty-one put on board the
Louisiana. During the engagement,
Rev. Wm. A. Pile,
of St. Louis, chap
lain to the First_ Regiment, was fur.
niched with a, Of four men to
look after the wounded. Descending
to a ravine, he came suddenly upon a
party of twenty-four.rebels, and per
emptorily 'ordered' theni to halt and
surrender. They evidently, considered
discretion thebetter part of valor, and
at once threw up the sponge, i. e., took
off their hats, and laid down their
arms. , The parson soon after/reported
himself to Gen. Lyon, with his twenty
four prisoners, guarded by four men
and him - self The story is• pretty well
circulated among our boys, and the
chaplain is looked upon (if his clerical
neck choker will allow the expression)
as a perfect trump, a decided 'brick'.

mob then broke down the doors, and
soon stripped the room 'of everything,
throwing the furniture and books into
the street. The State Bank, on the.
opposite corner, and J. B. Martin's
office, were then attacked and served
in like manner. The Bank, of Mil
waukee was also stoned, but little
damage was done.
Messrs. Allen & McGregor's real
estate office was completely gutted•
and their books destroyed.
The Jurean Bank was also an ob
ject of their wrath, but the mob here
were contented with only breaking
the windows.
The Mayor and police were prompt.
ly on the ground, but were utterly
powerless. One company of 49 men,
the Montgomery Guard, was ordered
out but declined to do anything, for
fear they would be overpowered. The
Zonaves were then ordered out, and
charged on the mob, which -iinmedi
ately broke and ran. The streets were
thus 'soon cleared, and guards wore
stationed at the corners, and at each
bank. About fifty of the rioters were
arrested and confined in jail under - a
strong guard of Zouaves. ThiS even
ing the mob are in force in the Second
and Sixth wards, where inflammatory
speeches are being Made - . -;They have
one cannon, and threaten an attack on
the jail to-night unless their friends are
released.
The Governor had proclaimed mar
tial law, and telegraphed to Raelne
and Madison for State troops. They
will arrive to-night.
As far as has been ascertained the
following persons are injured: Alex.
Mitchell, slightly; C. IL Larkin, Jr.,
paying teller of Mitchell's Bank, badly
bruised; Judge Starkwether tramped
on and badly hurt; Major Brown
knocked down with a stone and slight
ly. hurt; Mr. Hayden , book 7 keeepernf
the ,State Tank, iconsi derably. teurtl-4
One of the rioters was also badly cut
on the shou)der, and anothet;:had his
hand cut off. One was 3voundrd in the
leg by the - thrust of a Bayonet.
The riot was caused- by the action
of the bankers on Saturday in throwing
out of circulation the, notes of a large
number of the banks of this State.. „
THRILLING ADVENTURE, WITH Two
LARGE SNAKEs.—The . St. Joseph Mich : ,
Traveller, of June 12, 'says that 'While
crossing a piece of,marshy ground bor
dering oh the Northern bayou, near
this village, in company with 'a small
-boy, the sheriff .discovered, two largo
blue racer snakes just ahead of him,
and although armed with nothing but
an insignificant stick, he resolved at
once to deaptitch the-Monsters! There
fore, by describing a circle, he headed
them off, and hemmed them in next
to the water, which this species of
reptile dislikes exceedingly; but as he
approached nearer and nearer, the
largest one, head erect, turned upon
him, and in an instant coiled its strong
sinewy body about hie legs with such.
tenacity that it was impossible for him
to move from his tracks without falling
over. But, in spite of this predicament,
the sheriff was not: 130 much' alarmed
until he saw the other snake, , which
had meantime been running from side
to side, suddenly start towards him,
and with the - quickness of lightning„,
leap upon him, catching his arm in his'
embrace, and binding it to his body as
if it had been secured with chains of
steel, and, of course, notwithstanding
he strained every nerve in the effort,
he could not release it. With his left
he drew a sheath knife from a breast
pocket of his coat, and made short
work of severim, , the coils of his dis
agreeable foes. The largest of these
monsters measured seven feet four and
one-half inches, and the other five feet
eight 'inches in length. The. sheriff
says that it seemed to him that the
terrible embrace of the largo reptile
was equal to the strength which two
men could bring to bear on a rope
about a person's limbs, and was ex
tremely painful; - while the quickness
of their movements was indeed aston
ishing. He brought away their heads
as trophies of his victory, •
