[1] ALS, WvU. On March 14, 1862, Governor Peirpoint wrote that ``Owing to the favorable advance of the Federal troops into Virginia, and, I think, the certainty of the rebellion being shortly put down in the State, I deem it important that I should issue a circular letter to the people. . . calling upon them to co-operate with me in restoring the government of the State in accordance with the Ordinance of the convention. . . at Wheeling on the 11th of June 1861. . . .''
