- Gov Pierpoint [Francis H. Pierpont] Wheeling July 21 1861. By Telegraph, from Cameron 21 1861. A messenger came here this morning from Wetzel County three oclock and slated that a union had been shot the previous evening about eight oclock by two secessionists there is considerable alarm in that neighborhood on the account of it as there is considerable number of secessionists there & it is believed that the intend to kill or drive out the [page 2] Cameron (2) Union men in that locality they are led by Squire Colbert who is said to be a man of influence he was one of the men that shot Clayton, they sent over here for a force to go over and prevent further outrages the union men there are not well armed I am satisfied from what I have heard before this shortly that there is first cause for alarm and immediate action. I thought it would be best for you to order out a company from Camp Carlile to go out as far as Belton by the road as that is the nearest point it is only about eight miles from that place to Linn[?] Camp waters where this murder was committed plenty of guides will be furnished if necessary [page 3]Clayton had two balls put into him we have plenty of men but no guns answer immediately what you can do.

Col Lightburn has been ordered to Point Pleasant to take command of the last & the Y companies of his regiment on the Kanawha 3 more companies will be required to fill the regiment one 1 of which I suppose is Daltons[?]. I will be much obliged if you will indicate the companies you have selected and the names & dates of the Lieut Colonel [page 2] & major & adjutant & quartermaster commission 70 so that I may have the entire regimental organization. For the organization of the next Regt there seems to be nearly companies enough already reported about to ask for a mustering officer. I beg your excellency to hurry up those organizations. Genl Kelley has been directed as soon as notice is given to detail an officer to muster them in. Q-Master Ransom will be directed to furnish camp equipage & your Excellency has the clothing & equipment. Arms to be supplied on requisition by Lieut Crispin who will have orders to that effect W.S.
