regiments have been disposed of, so that there are not more than four regiments in all at Elkwater, the Summit, and at Huttonsville. Since the rebels abandoned their camp at Greenbrier our men from the Summit have frequently gone down there and examined the place.

The rebels are now encamped upon the summit of the Alleghanies, about nine miles from Greenbrier. When they left the latter place they burned the bridge over the Greenbrier and destroyed a great many articles which they could not carry away. A party of some half a dozen horsemen from the Summit for lowed the rebels up to within half a mile where they are now encamped, examined their fortifications, and took a prisoner of the First Georgia regiment.

Loomis's battery and a regiment of Indians volunteers have been moved down to that place. What the New York Herald says of Gent Price. We clip the following paragraph from the New York Herald of the 11th inst. It may be said that Gen. Sterling Price, the rebel commander in Missouri, is now fairly played out. Failing to resolve any response to his begging call for 50,000 Missourian, his troops daily deserting his standard by hundreds, and the rebel Government having appointed a man to supersede him, he now presents a deplorable picture of what may be termed a used up man.
