Movements in Western Virginia. From a gentleman who arrived in this city yesterday, we have some interesting particulars of the movements of the forces under Major General Loring, in Western Virginia. On Saturday week the army broke camp at their former headquarters, (the Narrows of New river. in Giles county.) moving in three columns. These three columns formed a junction on Tuesday morning at Shady Springs, in Raleigh county, and that evening encamped a short distance beyond Raleigh Court- House. On Wednesday they reached McCoy's, in Fayette county, nine miles southeast of the Court House. On Thursday morning they continued their march in fine spirits. The enemy were rapidly retreating before our forces, and left Raleigh Court-House only a few days before the entrance of our forces. They numbered about 2,000.

hed into each other with a vim, but Cols. Clarkson and the gallant Hounshell proved too much for him. They completely routed him, killing and capturing nearly his whole command. Dills was severely wounded, since reported dead. We captured some fifty prisoners, with a number of horses, &c. This portion of the command then returned to Tazewell county where they are now in camp. When Gen. Floyd reached Logan Court-House he found just the command referred to had pretended him. He again set out to cut off a company or two who were stationed on the main road to Pikesville finding no enemy there, he also returned to Tazewell where his whole command is now in quarters. Since this of Gen Floyd, we learn that an abolition force from Raleigh county advanced upon Octana and destroyed the place by applying the torch to every house. They then proceeded to Logan Court House and destroyed it is the same way, including the and other valuable property owned there by Gen, Floyd himself.
