Doc. 204.-Western Virginia. The advance of Federal troops. The passage of the troops who left for Western Virginia has been one continued ovation, as far as they have gone. We went down on the train carrying the troops from Camp Carlisle, the Ohio Regiment coming soon after. Those who witnessed the parting scenes at the depot will not soon forget them. Some of them were very touching. At Benwood, one mother, who had come out to exchange the parting word with her son, said, with tears standing in her eyes, as the train rolled away, Go; you leave sore hearts behind you, but all will be well when you return. And a grayhaired sire, at the same place, hobbling on a cane, shouted after the train as it moved away: I have three sons with you now, and I wish I could go myself. Such was the spirit manifested everywhere, and a corresponding feeling pervaded the hearts of the men. All the way out through Marshall the utmost enthusiasm was awakened by the appearance of the soldiers.
