War News.
The telegraphic news in our paper yesterday morning announced, under date Cincinnati, Aug. 27, that "Col. Taylor's force on the Kanawha was badly defeated by the Confederates a few days ago."
There was no doubt a mistake in the name of the officer.
It should have been Colonel Tyler. This is the Colonel Tyler about whom there was an editorial notice in yesterday's Dispatch, We think the announcement every way probable.
We learn that Governor Wise, with a part of his brigade, marched some days since in the direction of Summerville, in Nicholas county, some thirty miles distant, in a northwestern direction, from the main Kanawha turnpike, along which Gen. Floyd was proceeding with his army.
Tyler was known to be in Nicholas, at or near Summerville.
It was reported that there were 2,000 Federalists in Nicholas.
We hope it is true that the Confederates under General Wise have whipped these invaders under the sharper in furs — this Col. Tyler.
