The necessity of takiug some step* to put the city in it condition to sue cessfolly resist h cavalry raid, such a? re cently overrun so large ? portion of the interior, was formally brought to their at .potion litft week ?-y the coiumnndiug Gen eral of the department. Through Capt. A. U. Buffington, who was called to Pittsburgh for that purpose, General Brooks made suggestions as to what he thought were the proper and necessary steps to be taken by the city in the matter of fortifications. These suggestions were formally detailed to a meeting of citizens at the McLure House last Saturday night. That meeting considerably increased, convened again at the Grand Jury room of the Court House, yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and still further discussed, not only General Brooks' suggestions, but all other suggestions. The result of their deliberations was that a committee of two citizens from each Ward of the city, and two from each election district of the county were appointed to agree upon and report which to an adjourned meeting to be held this evening, some organized plan for undertaking the erection and perfection of a line of defense for the city. That committee held a meeting at four in the afternoon, at the Director's room, of the M. & M. Bank, and there met Gen. Geo McCook who has charge of the counties in Ohio, included within Gen. Brooks department. After a long discussion, it was resolved to appoint a special committee to confer with a joint committee of the two houses of our legislature, and through them, to request the State to solicit a loan from citizens of fifty thousand dollars, for purposes of State defense, the said loan to be expended under the direction of Gen. Brooks, on account of the United States, in the work of putting around the city a chain of protective works. Accordingly, Messrs. A. W. Campbell, Hubert Crangle, K. M. Norton and Gen. James S. Wheat were appointed as a committee to meet a joint committee from the two houses of the legislature, today. The foregoing is a brief summary of the action taken thus far in a very important matter: the defense of the Capital of the New State from a sudden dash of cavalry into its limits, and the destruction of all its public property, state and national. It must be very obvious to the commonest intelligence that some such step as this is absolutely necessary. Up to this time the city has remained entirely exposed to any raid, even the most inconsiderable, that might be attempted against it. Our militia have been armed and to some extent. tent organized, but like all mere militia, they are wholly unprepared for anything save defensive war, and that only under the most advantageous circumstances. Our troops within fortifications can be made, under good officers, almost as effective as disciplined troops, because they have simply to load and fire, and not maneuver, and their persons are well protected from the fire of the enemy. The plan, therefore, is to erect some distance east of the city a chain of works which shall command all the approaches, and it is estimated by the engineers that fifty thousand dollars will do all that is necessary to make the city defensible against any such force as is likely to be sent on a raid against it. The works will of course, be of a simple character, such as rifle pits, abattis, and five or six artillery positions. The plan adopted for raising the sum necessary to build these works is, all things considered, the readiest and most equitable one. The labor is to be performed on account of the United States, just as it was at Baltimore, Washington, Louisville, St. Louis and other prominent points. The proper method to get the funds is through the State's asking an advance from its citizens here on behalf of the General Government to be expended under the direction of the U.S. officer commanding the department, to be reimbursed by the War Department. We trust that the members of the Legislature will mature the matter at speedily as possible in their minds. It must be evident to them that it is a matter of utmost importance that our Capital, the place of our season, the depository of our archives, and the seat of our Government should not be liable to a sudden raid from a stealthy band of rebel cavalry. THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Charleston, June 22, 1863; To the citizens of West Virginia: Volunteers who enlist in the Departmental Corps of the Department of the Shenandoah will not be subjected to the draft for service in the six-month militia. A. J. Buchanon, Governor of West Virginia Good Effects of the Invasion. The rebel invasion of our border line, especially of Pennsylvania, silences the Copperheads in the North. They have slunk back into their holes for the present. All complaints against the Government, even criticism of the Administration, suddenly become unpopular and cease. Some of the Copperhead papers print more patriotic editorials than they have for months, and call on the people and soldiers to rally to the support of the Government and the defense of the invaded States. The "Democratic" State Convention of Pennsylvania, which was to have met at Harrisburg last Wednesday, has been indefinitely postponed. There was no time to pick a quarrel with the Government and to combine to make party capital out of the mistakes of fallible men who are engaged in preserving the country's life, besides, the very place of meeting was in danger, the delegates might become prisoners of war, and not being all Vallandighams, could not feel sure of hospitable treatment by their captors. They could afford to run the risk of Forts Warren and Lafayette, but the idea of Libby was too much for even those who believe in our "misguided Southern brethren." Gov. Seymour of New York, interrupted his weak rhetoric and worse sense in attempting to elevate Vallandigham's arrest into the greatest outrage of the war, and has gone earnestly to work in supplying the Government with fresh troops to repel the invaders. The Woods have taken to their covers and await the blowing over of the storm before venturing again upon their ships with the rebels in public meetings and the press. Such craven followers, as venture now to swash their treason upon the streets or in bar-rooms, find themselves once more monastically knocked down, where, a little while ago, they met echoing cheers. Vallandigham, creeping around home on the Southern underground railroad through Nassau under rebel guidance, would find cold reception today anywhere on the Northern or Eastern frontier; and were the people of Ohio to vote today upon his election, what a few days ago was a possible result, would fail by many thousands. All this because the war is not over? The rebellion and its character are not changed; only it is comprehended by those who had not thought well or truly about it before. It comes home into their houses and bosoms. The symptom is healthy one; and in its influence over the public sentiment of the North, is putting down sympathy with the South, and rallying the country around the Government. The rebel raid into Pennsylvania will prove vastly more damage to the rebellion than the best success that ever Lee dreamed of from its movements. Fremont and Nigel. The following correspondence is published in the New York Tribune: NEW YORK, June 10, 1863. . To the Editorial Board of the United States Senate: In the present emergency, will you allow Major Generals Fremont and Sigel to issue a call for volunteers to march at once to the defense of Pennsylvania and the nation? Friedrich K. von Krus. CHARLES KESGERS. ANSWER: Washington, June 15, 1863: To Friedrich K. von Krus and others: The Governor of New York proposes to seal us troops, and if he wishes the assistance of General Fremont and General Sigel, one or both, he can have them. If he does not wish them, it would breed confusion for us to set them at work independent of him. A. Lincoln. The President's prompt rebuke, in so polite a way, to the officious intermeddling of Messrs. Knapp & Co., will meet the hearty approval of all sensible men. There is a party of people who seem disposed to omit no opportunity to harass the President with the claims of Generals who, for sufficient and satisfactory reasons, have been laid on the shelf for the time being. With the apparent idea of bringing the President into collision with the supposed preference of a large number of people, they try to get him to take a position either for or against their favorites who have been put aside. Mr. Lincoln fortunately seems to understand such people thoroughly, and to be equal to them. As he himself forcefully and popularly expresses it, he has "more pegs now than he has bodies to put them in," meaning more Major Generals than he has commands to put under them, and out at the supernumerary half hitches to make such selections as are necessary. This country is not spoiling to see territory Fremont and Sigel in command. What we want is more men in the ranks and less in epaulets. The Official Declaration of Election In the city of Chicago.

At Sharps Point, is where the battle of Virginia, May 27, 1863. Editorially speaking: Enclosed please find military report of killed and wounded of the 4th Virginia Infantry, in the fights here up to the 26th inst. . The officers and men of the Regiment behaved gloriously, and when the order to charge was given went in with a will. They fully maintained the reputation of Virginia, and have gained a name second to no Regiment in the army of Gen. Grant, but at a terrible loss. Col. James H. Dayton led the Regiment, and I am only doing justice when I say that a braver and more determined man does not live. He exhibited the skill of an accomplished officer, and won the praise of all. Such inspiration must be rewarded. My time will not permit me to write more. As soon as Vicksburg falls I will write you again. GOOD SPEED. Major Arranges Good Speed.

Filling in the details under existing circumstances, it seems that it is due to the citizens of Boone county, and especially to Colonel J. H. Dumott, the efficient commander of the 11th Regiment U. S. Volunteers, to today, through your column, that upon the statement of one James Kiddle, from said county of Boone, committee 15 and 16, of which I am a humble member, were informed that he was one of the commissioners appointed to count the votes at the Courthouse of said county for State and County officers, and after counting the votes declared to us that he was duly elected to the office of Delegates from said county by a majority of seventeen votes. Relating the statements of said Kiddle to be fully correct, and that there must have been a united effort on the part of the loyal citizens to overcome the elements of secession that seemed to have been fostered during their absence, appealed to the military authorities in the words and figures following: "To the Proper Military Authorities: We, the undersigned, being in possession of the fact that Henry Slump, a private in Company L, 11th Regt. U. S. Volunteers, has been duly elected to the Legislature of West Virginia, from the county of Boone, request leave to say that it is the wish of the soldiers as well as the loyal citizens of said county that the said Henry Slump be released from military duty, either by discharge, or special order authorizing him to serve as a member of the said Legislature during its session, etc." I. Signed by forty members of the company referred to above. By virtue of the foregoing statements, I have been forwarded to this place by the military authorities; but, much to my surprise, I find in the hand of J. M. McWhorter a certificate of election, purposing to be signed by the same individual times Kiddle, giving him a small majority, and learn from him also, that some thirty odd votes given by the companies referred to were not admitted to record upon the poll books, upon a technicality, that although the polls were to be kept open three days to enable the soldiers to forward their votes, he himself carried off the poll books on the first day of the term, and the thirty odd votes referred to were lodged in the hands of the superintendents on the second or third day at the precinct to which they were sent, but did not reach the courthouse until the 4th day, and consequently, were not admitted to record. Now, that which is so remarkable, is this, that Kiddle, the Commissioner, counted and considered these thirty odd soldier votes legal; which gave us a majority of seventeen votes, at one time, and at another, has discarded them. His judgment must have been corrected by some superior genius. At any rate, I would rather anyone else were instrumental in disfranchising or casting aside these soldier votes than myself, indeed, if they were investigated, and considered illegal by other persons than the ones referred to. It is hoped, therefore, that the Committee on Credentials will waive all preliminary steps to be taken on the part of a contestant, as I had no chance or any knowledge of the existing facts, and demand that the ballot, as well as the poll books, be brought before your honorable body for inspection and investigation, and do as you think proper and just in the premises. Yours truly, Henry Sherman. NEW ADVISEMENTS $10 REWARD. Lost by the subscriber yesterday noon, Gray Parrot. I will pay the above reward to anyone returning the same. E. C. CRAIG.
