wn. Boone Court House is a small village, and is the capital of Boone County, Virginia. It is situated on the Little Coal River, two hundred and forty-five miles, in a direct line, west from Richmond. The surrounding country is very sparsely settled. The county of Boone is a new one, or at least formed within a few years past, and is in the southwest part of Virginia. It is bounded on the northeast by Coal River, an affluent of the Kanawha, and also drained by Little Coal River and Laurel Creek. It was formed out of Logan and Kanawha counties, and named in honor of Daniel Boone, the renowned pioneer of the West. Mr. Andrews, surveyor of the port of New York, seized twenty-five vessels owned wholly or in part by rebels, including eight ships and seven barques.

mounted howitzers, and two rifled six-pounders, we moved up the left bank of the Kanawha, four miles from the mouth of Loup Creek to Gauley Falls; thence to the right, some five miles over Cotton Hill to Herschberger's by three P. M., where at Laurel Creek we met the advance pickets of the enemy in force, as it was ascertained afterwards, in a most strong position, prepared with abatis; and after skirmishing with them with the greater part of the Thirteenth regiment, until dark, we went into bivnd, the breaking of bridges, &c., our exhausted forces needed to rest for the night, when we were recalled by the orders of General Schenck: and this was accomplished with the loss of one man killed and four wounded on our part in the fight at Laurel Creek, and none at the affair at McCoy's Mills, while it is certain that the loss of the enemy was three times that amount, including that of their chief colonel of cavalry, killed. Floyd was pursued for thirty miles from his batteries of Gauley

On Wednesday, the tenth inst., I ordered four companies under command of Lieut.-Col. Franklin, Thirty-fourth regiment O. V. I., to make a reconnoissance to Cassidy's Mills, two companies to go on the Laurel Creek road, and the remaining two on the Raleigh road. He did not discover the enemy. Soon after the engagement had commenced in town, I sent a division under command of Capt. H. C. Hatfield, Co. A, to our right to skirmish and protect our train on the Gauley road. I then advanced with the two remaining divisions and attacked the enemy on his left, who was posted in the woods on the summit of a steep hill, overlooking my advance. After three hours fighting with a heavy loss, being unable

ortion of his artillery, with large escorts, to protect the communications indispensable to the existence of his men. At last, about the 7th of November, the Confederates decided to leave Cotton Hill, and took a position a little higher up, on Laurel Creek. Rosecrans determined, in turn, to hunt them up on the other side of New River. On the 6th of November, he sent the brigade of Benham to take a position a little below the confluence of that stream and the Kanawha on the left bank, and near sand strong, turning to the right, marched upon Cassidy's Mill, south of the enemy's camp, while Benham with five hundred men and six guns proceeded to the same point by way of Cotton Hill. Benham met the enemy in the afternoon of the 12th at Laurel Creek. Floyd had struck his camp, and only defended the passage of the stream long enough to cover his retreat. Schenck not having been able to cross New River, which was swollen by the rain, that retreat was effected without difficulty; and Benh

oyd's command — the retreat to Raleigh Court-House. The latest intelligence represents General Floyd to have retreated to Raleigh Court-House. We understand that orders had gone out from the War Department there to fall back as far as that place, which were issued in consequence of the difficulty of transporting supplies to Cotton Hill, and the hazard of remaining there in the face of so large a force as the enemy have on the Kanawha. In executing the retreat, the engagement occurred at Laurel Creek, near Cotton Hill, in which the enemy were repulsed with considerable loss. In a subsequent skirmish, which and no other serious result, we regret to say that Col. Croghan was killed, a very gallant officer, whose loss will be severely felt by our army. We understand that the position taken by General Floyd, near Raleigh Court-House, is a strong one, in a strategic point of view, and if the enemy should advance that far, it is probable that an engagement will take place there.
