it le soldar," is worthy of full experiment among our volunteers. Good soup can almost always be made with slight skill; but other cookery depends entirely on talent, time, place, and circumstance. The friends of Wm. H. Parker, Esq., our faithful and vigilant Inspector-General, under the inspection laws of Virginia, are delighted to see him upon the streets again, after a desperate shake from the warrior's worst foe — protracted sickness. Mr. Parker was in the earlier brushes in Western Virginia, with his personal friend, General Wise; but undue exposure in the campaign brought on a severe attack of disease, which has nearly cost him his life. The services of Mr. P. in the blocking of Norfolk harbor, with the Yankee ships at the Gosport Navy-Yard, are well remembered. The dangerous condition of Gen. Wise is melancholy intelligence for his numerous friends and admirers in this vicinity. A part from his being the representative from Princess Anne in the Convention, and his

ed anything she had by violence. Indeed, Rosencranz gave her personal assurance that she and her property should be fully protected, but the virtue of this he afterwards destroyed by purchasing of Mrs. T. several head of cattle, getting the receipts for the same, and then never paying her one cent. This she says Rosencranz did himself, and she is a reliable woman. Mrs. T. is a fine-looking lady, of good character, and extraordinary will and nerve. She keeps one of the best hotels in Western Virginia, and it is a favorite resort of all travelers. The next movement of our army is not determined upon, but my impression is, that we will move immediately towards the Kanawha in two columns, the one under Gen. Floyd, and the other under Generals Lee and Loring. The precise routes of these divisions it may not be prudent to state, though the enemy finds out all our movements before the much-abused newspapers do. We have not seen but a single Northern newspaper since we have been in t

From Western Virginia, A gentleman who left General Floyd's camp on the 16th inst., gives us some interesting information in regard to the movements of our army in the West, some portion of which we are permitted to make public General Floyd, with his command, left Big Sewell Mountain on Sunday last, and was at New river, in Raleigh county, (twenty-two miles distant,) on Wednesday. His intent on is to get a fight if possible, and will attack the enemy wherever he encounters him. Rosencranarmy is in Nicholas county, and the remainder at Dogwood Gap and on the Gauley. It is conjectured that General Lee may start in pursuit, but of this nothing is positively known. We learn with regret that one of the most valuable men in Western Virginia lost his life on Wednesday morning last. His name was John Amick, and he had rendered most important service to Gen. Floyd in the capacity of a scout. His house, on the Wilderness road, some sixteen miles from Meadow Bluff, was surrounded

of danger, but prevent Kentucky from being overrun and overawed as Maryland has been, and carry the war at once to the Ohio. It is painful to think that a miserable force like that under Rosencranz should so long checkmate our movements in Western Virginia. We ought to start at once, both in Western Virginia and Kentucky, for the banks of the Ohio, and at least aspire to the preservation of our own side of that river from the enemy's incursions. When there, we can determine whether he shall oth in Western Virginia and Kentucky, for the banks of the Ohio, and at least aspire to the preservation of our own side of that river from the enemy's incursions. When there, we can determine whether he shall enjoy the privilege of inflicting war upon others and escaping all its horrors himself. We have soldiers worthy of being led by a Napoleon. France never produced a more military people. Let our motto in the West be, Onward and Forward. To stand still there is imbecility and disgrace.
