Floyd and his forces encamped on the summit of the and the Ohio River. On the 15th and 16th Gen. Floyd was industriously occupied throwing up fielde tenable against a superior force, and this Gen. Floyd seems to have found out. On the night of the few hours after the Wise Legion left it, by Gen. Floyd's order, showed clearly, and the event at Caenemy would immediately occupy it in force. Floyd's Brigade was much demoralized since his retre without the abandonment of baggage, because Gen. Floyd had detained many wagons belonging to the alonging to and following the last regiment of Gen. Floyd's brigade, which was just twenty more than a men. About this time Gen. Lee arrived in Gen.

ve but little to rejoice over. The Richmond Enquirer, of the 30th of October, says that a letter from Jackson's River to a gentleman in that city, written on Saturday evening, the 26th, says a report had reached that place to the effect that Gen. Floyd had attacked the Federal forces at the mouth of the Coal River, killing some five or six hundred of them, and taking a number of prisoners. Floyd is said to have lost three hundred in killed and wounded. The writer of the letter referred to dFloyd is said to have lost three hundred in killed and wounded. The writer of the letter referred to does not vouch for the truth of the report, or any part of it, but says it was credited in the main at Jackson's River on Saturday. The same letter speaks of the passage of Loring's command through Lewisburgh on Wednesday, upon a forced march, to reinforce Gen. Jackson at Green briar River. This is said to have been in consequence of a despatch received by Gen. Lee from Gen. Jackson, giving an account of the movements of the enemy in the locality of the latter. --Louisville-Nashville Cou

This farm is his summer residence, he and his wife being residents of Richmond; she now occupies the house with her family, while he is somewhere in the neighborhood, assisting Floyd in driving the invaders from the soil. From our camp the road descends abruptly to the river bank, and runs directly along the bank to Gauley Bridge, a distance of three miles; at this point Gauley and New rivers empty into and form the Kanawha;g around among the trees; the rumbling of wagon and cannon wheels could be distinctly heard, and ever and anon a command spoken too loud was borne to our ears. Our camp was all excitement, and General Rosecrans was at a serious loss to know what Floyd & Co. intended. We finally worried the night through, and daylight relieved our suspense. On the mountain ridges they had planted their cannon during the night, and closer down toward the river their riflemen and sharpshooters filled the woods

General Be number, so as to get out of Western Virginia; and if they are foiled in this attempt to capture Floyd, they will feel worse than crazy. They are all now well uniformed, and have plenty to eat. The rebels have vamosed from the Fayetteville road, and are now making tall tracks for Lewisburg. Floyd was too wide awake to put his head into the trap laid for him. Several of our officers are terrid than the brave Gen. Benham. He felt almost confident that his brigade alone would be able for Floyd, and to be thus deprived of seeing him excited him considerably. It was surprising to me to see

Soldiers of the Army of the Kanawha: The campaign in the western portion of this State is now, as far as you are concerned, ended. At its close you can review it with pride and satisfaction. You first encountered the enemy, five months since, on his unobstructed march into the interior of the State. From that time until recalled from the field, you were engaged in perpetual warfare with him. Hard conteste of labor, to do your duty. Remember that the eyes of the country are upon you, and that upon your action, in part, depends the result of the greatest struggle the world ever saw, involving not only your freedom, your property, and your lives, but the fate of political liberty everywhere. Remember this, and, relying on Him who controls the destinies of nations, as of individuals, you need not fear the result. By order, Brig.-Gen. John B. Floyd. H. B. Davidson, Major and Asst. Adj.-Gen.
