The battle on Greenbrier River. interesting particulars — the strength of the enemy — Gallantry of our troops — cowardice of the enemy, &c. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Camp Bartow, Greenbrier River,Pocahontas Co., Oct. 8, 1861. Doubtless you have received the details of the decided victory we gained over the enemy at this post on Thursday last, and I propose now to give you a few incidents of the battle: The enemy in sight. About 7 o'clock our pickets, under command of Col. Ramsey, of the 1st Georgia regiment, discovering a large force of the enemy coming down the mountain, immediately fired into them, and held them in check for a long time, and then retreated in good order to camp. The enemy, finding that our pickets (about 200 men) behaved so bravely, tired into them with cannon — a most cowardly act, and one unheard of in civilized warfare. The enemy then advanced to an open field, (7,000 strong,) placed six cannon in position, and

Another account of the battle on Greenbrier River. Camp Bartow, Greenbrier River,Pocahontas Co., Oct. 4, 1861. Editors of Dispatch: Almost are the rattle of the enemy's artillery in full retreat is silenced by distance, I find myself endeavoring to communicate to you the facts and particulars of our little engagement with the Yankees, on yesterday, 3d of October. At about 6 o'clock A. M. a messenger from our pickets reported the enemy advancing in full force, with cannon, wagons, and every thing necessary, and indicative of an immediate attack. Two companies were promptly dispatched in double-quick time to sustain our pickets, and check their advance until our camp was put in a thorough state of defence. In less than thirty minutes we were ready to receive our enemy with — not open, but loaded arms. At 6 o'clock and 45 minutes our whole force of pickets — probably two hundred--holding an advantageous position in a short bend in the road, about one mile from camp, and

A gallant soldier. Among the "missing" from Gen. Jackson's army, so reported after the late battle at Greenbrier river, is George P, Morgan, Esq., of Marion county, formerly of this city. Mr. Morgan was one of the pickets who met the advancing foe, and, instead of retreating to camp, fought at their post gallantly for more than an hour. He is (or was, for we know not his fate,) as noble a specimen of a man as Virginia can boast of. He is a brother-in-law of Senator Neeson and of Samuel Woods, Esq., of the State Convention, and a brother of the late Col. Chas. S. Morgan, of Richmond, and of Hon. W. S. Morgan, of Washington city. Thus connected, and a gentleman of means and having a family growing up around him, his patriotism induced him to leave his mansion and fine farm, and all their comforts and luxuries, to share the fate of a private soldier. Such a man, living or dead, deserves more honors than the laureled chieftain. We hope that he is yet alive.
