The citizens of Cherry Valley, to the
number of about 100, bended by Hon. An
drew Storm, Peter Shaw, Casper Mctzgar
and others, attested their loyalty to the
Federal Union, on last Saturday by rais-
iot a large and beautiful National Flag
at Stormsville After the Flag was rais
ed amid hoarty cheers, an impromptu
meeting was organized, Judge Storm pre

National songs sung. We trust that the
good example set by the patriotic citizens
of Siorinsvillo aud vicinity, will be emu
lated, and that every village in the coun
try will soon have a National Flag.
The Latest War News.
At the hour of going to press last night
but little news had been received by tel
egranh, the wires working badly in con
Bcqueuce of the storm. The most impor
tant intelligence was that ot the aBsem
biinir of a respectable aud enthusiastic
C
Union Convention at Wheeling, in Wes
tern Virginia, composed of delegates froai
25 counties. This movement in that
quarter is worth an army in itself, be
cause it bewilders the counsels and par
alvzea the arm of the rebels. If the
President acts with energy and decision
in supporting this loyal movement, the
secession of Virginia will add little to the
actual resources of Jeff. Davis.
it is said that a person employea in
tho secret service of the Government 1
recently returned from Harper's Ferry,
and reports that the Rebel force there
numbered 6.000 last week, about 4.000
WW
of whom were well armed, the rest not
armed at all. Among them were 200
Kentuckians and a company of South
Carolinians. They were scantily applied
with provisions, the Union men of WeB
tern Virginia having cut off their sup
plies. .These statements are probable e
notigh, though it is not likely that they
cocce from any secret a?ent of the bov-
ernment. Such an agent would doubtless
know enough to keep his information
from the public.
The impression gains ground that the
forces at Harper's Ferry are intended
not to aot against Washinton, but for an
inroad into Pennsylvania, and that the
whole Southern army will bo used for
this purpose in case the lines of defense
of the Federal City prove to be too strong
to be forced. Apprehensions are felt in
Pennsylvania on this point, and thero is
doubtless aoac danger of marauding in
cursions, though not of any general ad
vance of the Confederate army. Now
that Washington is secure no time ebould
bo lo-t in transferring the seat of war to
the South. A few regiments sent to Fort
Pickens would draw back tho volunteers
from tho Gulf States from Virginia to
protect their own hones.
Thrre is a report from Montgomery
that Jeff. Davis has said that Mr. Liccoln
was alarmed for nothing and that he had
no intention of attacking Washington at
prerent. Perhaps not. It is very likely
that iustead of planning an attack on
Washington, ho may be contemplating
how to defend Montgomery. The latter
city is at no great distance from Pensa
cola, aud if a United States fleet with an
army on board should suddenly appear in
that neighborhood, there would be a good
deal less composure at Montgomery than
now reigns there.

Western Virginia Convention.
Wheeling, Monday, May 13, 1S61.
The city is wild with enthusiasm
Flags are flying from nearly all the build
ings.
The Convention met at 11 a. rn.t and
after appointing a Committee on Creden
tial, adjourned to 3 p. m.
The Convention then reassembled at
that hour, and the Corsmitteo reported fa
vorably to the admission of delegates from
55 counties to scats. Permanent officer
were appointed, and resolutions adopted
appointing a Committee on State and
Federal Relations. Before its adoption
a discussion took place between Gen. J
J. Jacksou of Wood County, who thought
a division of the Stats premature, and
John S. Carlisle, who said wo must have
immediate and prompt action. He wan
ted no paper resolves.
The Committee then adjourned until
morning.
The ceremonies of hoisting a flag over
the Custom-House, this afternoon, were
very imposing. Thousands of people
were on the ground; the national air
were sung, and speeches were made by
J. S. Carlisle and others.
The City of St. Louis was the scene of
another terrible tragedy on Saturday
night. Tho Home Guard, while march
ing through the streets, was- hooted at
and reviled by a large crowd of exoited
citizens, and finally a pistol-s-hot was fired
into the ranks by, it is said, a boy. The
troops wheeled and fired upon the crowd,
discharging several volleys. Owing to
i lack of discipline, they broke up their
ranks and fired at random, killing and
wounding some of their own men, aB well
as many citizens.
Twenty-two persons are known to have
been killed at Camp Jackson. The fol

Base Ingratitude.
It is most probable that the mad at
tempt to break up the Union, which has
been made by Southern politicians would
never have been undertalien, il tncy nau
not been sure of the aid of large number
of the officers of the Army and Navy, ed
ucated at greaF expense to the General
Government, for its especial protection.
Personally, thoso treacherous mon owe
everything to the Union. They have
been nurtured and instructed under its
care; receiving pay while under tuition,
and doing nothing for the benefit of the
Government; and after being taught the
science and art of war, oven while tbey
wero fed, clothed and pampered by a too
indulgent parent, they turn like vipers,
and stine tho hand that has fed thetn.
There is no question of Southern right
in thic; no abstract notions of Stato sov
ereignty, but nmply a matter of honor
and gratitude between a bountuul guar
dian nnd the receiver of the bounty. An
honorable man might bo so swayed by
local prejudices as to believe that there
was danger that his section of the Union,
being the weakest, might be oppressed by
the stronger-one, and influenced by sucn
an opinion ho might refuso to bear arms
against bis persoual mends and relatives;
but ho would not plot tho destruction ol
his benefactor, and while bound by oath
to defend the Government, turn the wea
pons wbiob it had put into his bands a
gainst the Republic, from whom ho had
received so many favors. In contocnpla
ting tho conduct of such men, we are re
minded of tho bitter languago of Alonzo,
in Dr. Young's "Revenge," when he has
dissovercd tho treachery of Zianga :
"Lay not your young, O mothers, on the breast
For tear they turn to serpents as tney lie,
And sting you for your love."
It is not easy to imagine a more grost
disregard of thatsentimentof honor which
lives in every noble breast, than is exhib
itcd by these ingratcs; and how can those
in whoso cause they now fight, ever trust
them I Can men who have proved not
morely unfaithful, but malignant enemic.-
to the Government, which bad bren pa
rent and friend to tbem. ever be trusted
whore thero is any temptation to a bo
traval of their trust! No bond lut that
of selfish interest can bind them, and
when they find it to their advantage to do
so, they will as recklessly betray those
for whom thov now fisrht. as they have
done the Government of the United States
These men will fight with the malignan
cy of fiends against the armies of the U
nion; for none hate so cordially as those
whose consciences keep ever present to
4
their minds the baseness of their conduct
The manly generosity which ever char
acterizes a true soldier, need not be ex
peoted from these reprobates to honor and
decency. Their only hope now is in a
chieving the reputation of desperate!
courageous warriors, for they know that
the civilized world will regard them as
traitors to filial duty as well as to honor
and honesty.
Much allowance may be made for the
conduct of those who are urgod to-disloy
al acts by passion, resentment and preju
dice; but the cold calculating creature who
betrays his benefactor can only be regar
ded with loathing and disgust. Daily

Amount of Patriotic Contributions.
The patriotio contributions of tho peo
pie for tho war during the last three
weeks amount to the immense sum of $23
277,000. Pennsylvania leads the column
with a free gift of S3.500,000. New
York and Ohio have each given 83,000,

A sharp look-out should now bo kept
up for the detection of spies. A corres
pondent writes to inform us that one Dan
Rice, the clown-manager of a certain cir-
cus, being in iew-uneans lact Winter,
formed his company into a Secession mil
iary organization under tho namo of
'Dan Rice's Zouaves," and that he threat
ened all of his company who declined to
join this crew with summary discharge.
Lately, coming Northward, this same
down-manager has attempted to pass
himself off as a Union man. and actually
had the other day tho effrontery to deliv
er a' war speech to tho volunteers at Erie
in this State. It is also said that he has
in his train several Southern men who
would make very convenient spies for the
Rebels to use. This Rice may, after the
manner of his class, be skilled in riding
many horses about tho limited circle o
his arena; but his attempt to perform a
similar feat with two stools will undoubt
odly be followed by a merited and un
profitable fall. Tribune,

Surrender of a Brigade of Missouri Se
cessionists.
St. Louis, Friday, May 10, 1861.
Gen. Frost's brigade of Missouri mili
tia, encamped at Camp Jackson, on the
western outskirts of tho city, surrendered
unconditionally this afternoon on demand
of Capt. Lyon, commander of the United
States forces of this city.
Capt. Lyon marched on Camp Jack
son with some 6,000 volunteers, surroun
ded it, and planted eight field pieces on
the adjoining eminences. Tho following
letter was sent from Capt. 'Lyon to Gen
Frost:
Headquarters U. S. Troops, -)
St. Louis, May 10, 1861.
To Gen. D. M. Frost Sir.- Your
command is regarded as evidently hostile
toward tho Government of the United
States. It is, for the most part, made
up of thoso Secessionists, who have
openly avowed their hostility to the Gen
eral Government, and havo been plotting
at the seizure of its property, and the
overthrow of its authority.
You aro openly in communication with
tho so-called Southern Confederacy, which
is now at war with tho United States;
and you are recoiving at your camp from
the said Confederacy, under its flag, large
supplies of material of war, moit of which
is known to be tho property of the United
States.
These extraordinary preparations
plainly indicate none other than tho well-
known purpose of the Governor of this
fctate, under wboso orders you are acting,
and whose purpose, recently oommunioa
ted to the Legiilature has just been re
sponded to by that body in the most un-
r.nr.allftli'd legislation, havin? in direct
view hostilities to the General Govern
ment, and co operation with tho enemy
In view of thee considerations, and
your failure to disperse in obedienco to
tho proclamation of the President, and of
the eminent necessity of btato policy ana
welfare and obligations imposed upon me
by in-truotions from Washington, it is my
duty to aemand, and i do bereby demand
of you an lmraediato surrender oi your
command with no other conditions than
that all persons surrendering under tbi
demand shall be humanely and kindly
treated. Believing myself prepared to
enforce this demand, one half hour's time
before doing so will be allowed for your
compliance therewith.
(Signed), W. LYON.
Capt. 2d Infantry, Commandine Troops.
It is undcrutood that Gen. Frost says
this letter was not received by him until
his camn was surrounded by United
States troops. He then replied that the
enoaainment was organized under the law
of the State simply for
organizing
and
drilling the volunteer mlitia of this
mili
tary district.
Not expecting any demonstration,
was unprepared successfully to re-i-t
he
at
tack: therefore he accepted the terms
specified, and surrendered his command
about 800 men then in camp, a
number being in the city on leave. Tbey
thon laid down their arms, and wero es
cortcd to the city as prisoners of war.
A release on parole has been tendered
tho officers and troops, providing they
would take an oath not to take up arms
again againhtthe Government of the Uni
ted States, which they declined, on the
ground that it implied thoy had already
taken up arms against the Government,
which they disclaimed. Just before tho
troops left- for the city, and while the
State forces were drawn up between the
two lines of volontecrs, several rocks were
thrown at the volunteers, and a few pis
tol shots fired by excited parties in the
surrounding crowd, which was corapo8ed
of a large number of citizen1", including
many women. Ono thot took effect in
the leg of Capt Blantowski, and as he fell
he gave the word to fire, which was o
beyed by some two or three oompanieE,
resulting in the death of upward of 20
person, including two women and sever
al children, and badly wounding several
others.
Tho following are the only names of
those killed that can bo ascertained to
night: Messrs. Walter McDonald, Thos.
A. Havens, Nicholas Knoblacb, Emily
Summers. The following are fatally
wounded: Claiborne Wilson and Truman
Wright.
Intense excitement exists in tho oity.
Large bodies of troops are throoging the
streets.
The Democrat and Anzeiger offioes
have been threatened by tbe mob, but
through the promptness of the Chief o
Police, Mr. Donoughj any violent demon
ftration, thus far, has been prevented.
All. gun thops in the city are guarded
by an armed police force, and about 200
have been detailed to protect The Demo
crat and Anzeiger offices.
Tho lateuess of the hour prevents the
obtaining of more reliable information to

Practice Economy.
There never was a time in our history
when it was more necessary to practice e
conomy than now. War enormously en
hances tho price of provi-ions and other
necessaries, while it diminishes the means
of purchasing them. In some kinds o
business fortunes aro realized. But such
is the general prostration of business that
tho failures in New York since the 22
of April number over two hundred; and
such is tho quantity of protested paper
thrown on tbe banks that tbey now re
fuse to accommodate One of these, on
tho 9th inst., had S3.000 worth of paper
protested. Real estate is unsaleable, and
rents are gone down, because they know
that tho war and the demand in England
will enable them to command high prices
It is necessary, therefore, for all classes
of citizens to practice economy; even for
some who used to purchase three or four
coats in twelve mouths to wear one now for
a whole year. Economy in these, the
hardest of hard tises, i3 a virtue of tbe
first order, and no person ought to buy
anything he can dispense with till the war
is over.
The Secret of Secession.
There is a recret spring in this secession
movement in all the Southern States, that
the people have not considered or thought
about. Mercbauts, railroads and others
largely indebted to the North, are mo'-t
clamorous for secession. The States that
fir?t went out of the Union, had in view
the ridding themselves of their just debts,
and to consummate tbe villainy, they put
the old iYlissi-sippi Kopudiator at tne
head of their Government. Whenever
merchant is found largely indebted to tho
North, and wherever the sons of bankrupts
are found, they are throwing up their hats
for Jeff. Davis. Many men of a very dif
ferent cbaractor are secessionists, many
who hive wealth and capital, but look at
the bankrupts and the men indebted to
the North beyond their ability to pay
and they are all for going out of the Union

creditors. The Governor "invites citi
zens who aro indebted" to Northern
States to invest their spare cash in Geor
gia bank stock, or, still better, to "per
form a patriotic duty," by giving it to
the Southern Confederacy for war pur
poses. Ho further forbids the protest of
notes by any Georgia banks. Here, then,
is a regularly organized swindle. Tbe
Governor of Georgia is an adept in the
art of dealing.
A Family of Suicides.
We regret to learn that Mr. Simon L.
Shay was found suspended by a cord to
a beam in tbe bay loft of bis barn in
Dingman township, Pa., on Tuesday 30tb
ult. His brother Isaiah Y. Shay of
Flainsviile, was nUo found in his bed on
Sunday morning last, from the effects of
paragorio, half a pint of which ho had ta
ken from a bottle containing the mixture
which . had been used as medicine. Anoth
er brother as well as tbe father of the un
fortunate sons, also perished by suicide.
A strange fatality seems to have marked
the career of this once highly respected
but unfortunate family, all of whom, per
haps frosj some hereditary taint have
perished by committing suicide. Ncuz

grow pale! Such a country cannot bo
