But where are the men who have fomented these troubles for long years, who have sown the seed of malices,

There is no doubt that the War Department has received such intelligence of the strengthening of the rebel force near Martins burg as to induce the sending of reinforcements to Gen.

Gerdon, to report to Gen. Patterson at once. Reports were prevalent at the capital last night that a battle had already been fought; but they proved to be unfounded, as the Government had no such information. Another skirmish has occurred in Western Virginia, the results of which are represented to be quite important. Gov. Wise, with a body guard of
