The Daily Dispatch: November 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], Ranaway.--ten dollars reward, and all expenses paid. (search)
the Kanawha is devolved upon General Floyd. If General Jackson could succeed with a strong column in making his way westward from Winchester to Grafton and Wheeling so as to occupy some of the force of Rosencranz in that direction, and divert the reinforcements sent to him from Ohio from the Kanawha Valley, so as to relieve General Floyd of the great preponderance of force he is now facing, we should not yet despair of recovering Western Virginia before the winter. We learn by a gentleman directly from Charleston, Kanawha county, that the enemy becoming alarmed for the safety of the valley by the appearance of Gen. Floyd upon the Southern bank of the river, below Rosencranz, are pouring in large reinforcements for the latter General, five steamboats loaded down with troops having passed up the Kanawha river to Charleston in one day. This will give Rosencranz a great preponderance of numbers over Floyd, and again revert us to defensive operations in that difficult field of service.
