Cavalry fight in Kanawha. On the 28th inst. a brilliant and successful exploit was performed by a portion of the 8th Virginia cavalry in Kanawha county, Va. A correspondent of the Lynchburg Republican says: On the 24th ult. Capt. Lewis, with the Kanawha Rangers Border Rangers, Border Grays, and Tazewell Troopers, making in all about two hundred effective men, took no the march for a place known as the mouth of Loup creek, where were posted some several hundred Yankee cavalry. They had quite an arduous march over trackless mountains and through a scarcely settled country, most of the time having nothing for themselves or horses to subsist upon, yet the boys never uttered a single word of complaint, for they were too anxious to chastise a who had so ruthlessly lorded over their homes for the last night months. Having ascertained from loyal citizens on their march the numbers and position of the enemy, Captain Lewis knew that he must surprise and take the enemy at a disadva

Items from Kanawha county. --The Yankees have complete possession of the Kanawha Valley, but have not been able to change the faith of the loyal people. Slavery has been abolished in West Virginia by the Wheeling Convention. The Yankees are dredging the Kanawha river, and the Wheeling Legislature has passed a bill giving its tolls to pay for the improvement.--Scammon, who was clerk to Rosecrans in the oil business, (before he was a Major-General,) is a Brigadier-General, and has his headquarters at Charleston. Among the recent deaths, is that of A. W. Quarrier, for forty years Clerk of the County and Circuit Courts. He refused to act as Clerk after the Yankees occupied the county. Andrew Parks, who was a member of the Richmond Convention, is also dead. A good deal of salt is made at the Salines.

Arrested as a spy. --Dr. James Macon, a native of this city, arrived here yesterday in military custody, on the charge of being a spy, and as such was committed to Castle Thunder. He was arrested at Dublin Depot, on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, by order of Gen. Breckinridge. We have not been able to learn the circumstances which led to his arrest, but presume the chief cause of his falling under suspicion was that he had come through our lines from Kanawha county, where he resides and practices medicine. Dr. Macon moved from Virginia to Iowa while a boy, and from the latter place, some two years ago, he removed to Kanawha. Some years ago he married a lady of this city, who has since died. It is said by his friends that he is now engaged to be married to a young lady in Manchester, and that this it is that now brings him on here. He was here on the same errand last spring, at which time he had an interview with the Secretary of War.

Death of Colonel George Patton. Through late Northern papers we have the melancholy intelligence of the death of Colonel George Patton, of a wound received in the battle near Winchester on the 19th ultimo. Colonel Patton was a son of the late John M. Patton, of this city, and is the second of the family who has yielded his life in this war for Southern independence. He was a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, but adopted the profession of the law, and settled in Kanawha county, where, as the partner of George W. Summers, and by the application of his own brilliant intellect, he soon attained a high position at the bar. When the war broke out, however, he was among the first to offer his services to his country. In an arduous campaign in Western Virginia he greatly distinguished himself, and was badly wounded at the battle of Scary. As soon as he recovered he again took the field, and was in command of our forces at White Sulphur Springs which defeated Averill in the
