ginning of the war to the present moment. The only one we now recollect is a telegraphic dispatch published soon after Gen. McClellan had reached a point in Western Virginia, where he could have marched upon Staunton without any difficulty, and thus taken Manassas in the rear, and gone pretty much where he pleased, that he had go their various attacks upon our land batteries? Who more indebted than Gen. McClellan to the Northern press, which has so trumpeted his successes, gained in Western Virginia by the most tremendous odds, that they have made a great man of him, and puffed him to the head of the army? No one ought to understand better the value of an ingenious lie than the military leader who informs the world under his own hand that he lost only twenty men in Western Virginia. The inventive genius that was capable of such an achievement, has no reason to be jealous of the most fertile invention in the daily press. A grateful man ought not to kick ever the ladder that has

The talk is, that the writer of the money article for the Thunderer is an individual whose sympathies and interests are all with Jefferson Davis, and against the North. How all that may be, I cannot say; but I do say that the cold water the Jupiter of Printing-House Square has thus thrown upon American credit is having the effect to inspire everybody with fresh anxiety to hear from Mr. Auguste Belmonte, who, by this time, must be among the English money kings, face to face. From Western Virginia. From passengers by the Western train, (says the Baltimore South, of the 7th inst.,) we learn that, at last accounts, General Rosencranz was still at Clarksburg, Va., awaiting the arrival of horses and wagons. He was fully aware of the fact that Wise had escaped him and made good his retreat to Lewisburg. Colonel Stevens had re-occupied Martinsburg, and the whole of that section was again in the hands of the Confederates, close up to Harper's Ferry. There was a large Confederate f

From Western Virginia.[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Lewisburg, Va., Aug. 8, 1861. Gen. Floyd's Brigade passed through this place yesterday morning. The present encampment is four miles beyond Lewisburg, where he will remain for the present. A portion of the mercenary forces are now encamped near Ganley Bridge, and the people are anxious to see them driven from our soil.--In order to assure you of the fact that the people here do not intend to tamely submit to invasion, without, at least, an effort to resist it, I will state that when it was ascertained that Gen. Wise had been ordered to fall back east of this place, the militia of the counties of Greenbrier and Monroe were at once called out, for the purpose of defending our mountain passes, and you may depend upon it every inch of ground would have been disputed with the Hessians by our brave mountain boys had an attempt been made to advance into this country. The turn-out on the part of the militia was quite

e laid aside to rot. He is now neither "fish, flesh nor fowl." He has few friends at the North and not one South. The hundred thousand given him by the tyrant, however, to subjugate his native State, is all that he cares about now. How the mighty has fallen, and none to mourn his fate, or to do him honor! I am glad that Lincoln has put the army in the hands of McClellan. He is known here well. He is impetuous, vain and conceited, and flushed with the great victory he achieved in Western Virginia with an army of ten to our one, and renegade Virginians to help him. He is the man for our cool-headed, long-sighted, sensible Generals Beauregard, Johnston and Lee. Let not our people, however, in this great triumph, forget the proud monarch who failed to give God the glory when the people gave him the praise of godship, that he fell down dead and was eaten of dogs. As much confidence as I have in our President, our Generals and soldiers, I know we have a great Captain at the hea
