Three of our dead were found--one was known to be shot one mile above town, on the bank of the Ohio River, and four in crossing the Guyandotte River. Several others are missing, and are supposed to be killed. Among the number is Capt. G. W. Bailey, of Portsmouth, who commanded a company in the railroad masked battery affair at Vienna, and also at Bull Run. Among those taken prisoners, are the Hon. K. V. Whaley, who was in command of the place; T. J. Heyslip, Clerk in the Quartermaster's Department; Capt. Paine, of Ohio, who was one of the first three to plant the Stars and Stripes on the walls of Monterey, in Mexico; and Capt. Ross, of Ironton, an intelligent Scotchman. Captain Thomas, of Higginsport, Ohio, is supposed to be taken; and also Dr. Morris, of Ironton, the first Surgeon. The rebels also arrested and took with them the follow

After seven months of war, the enemy have not only failed to extend their occupancy of our soil, but new States and Territories have been added to our Confederacy, while, ins

He left at three o'clock, and reports that one or two persons had been killed at the yard, and that some of the buildings had been materially injured. A long train of government wagons had just entered the yard when the firing commenced. A number of animals were killed — the darkies quit their teams, and such a scramble for safe places was never witnessed since that of Bull Run. At two o'clock, some houses in the yard, or below it, are on fire. The enemy are throwing hot shot. There are but few wooden buildings in the yard. It is said a number of them are slightly injured. The fleet have been pretty much all day paying their respects to the yard and the batteries at Warrington. Gen. Bragg visited the batteries yesterday after the action commenced. He expresses himself delighted with men and guns, and is confident of success. Several sail of vessels
