rn Virginia: The steamer "Mary Cook" arrived last evening from the Kanawha river, bringing from the camps near Gauley Bridge 184 sick and wounded soldiers, who were immediately taken from the steamer to the Marine Hospital. Our fellow-citizermy with supplies, &c., so hazardous. Generals Rosencranz and Cox are at Mountain Cave, only thirteen miles from Gauley Bridge, with only six thousand troops, who are able to perform active duty, and are available. Between Gauley Bridge and CaGauley Bridge and Camp Lookout there were, on Tuesday last, 1,640 patients in the hospitals, prostrated with camp fever. At Cross Lanes, near Carnifax Ferry, and about twenty-eight miles from Gauley Bridge, are 160 patients. Those that can bear moving are to be brougGauley Bridge, are 160 patients. Those that can bear moving are to be brought here as rapidly as steamers can be secured. During the past two weeks there have been continuous rains, and the roads are almost impassable.

n, of the 22d, contains an interesting letter from its editor, R. H. Glass, Esq., attached to General Floyd's staff, dated "Richmond Ferry, 20 miles west of Sewell, Oct. 12," from which we extract the following: The latest information in reference to the movements of Rosencranz is, that he has retired the last of his men from the south side of the Gauley, and is, probably, in hasty retreat with his main strength to the banks of the Ohio. He has probably left small detachments at Gauley Bridge and Carnifax's Ferry, to defend those passes, but this is only conjecture. We are little capable up here of judging the cause of this sudden backward movement of the enemy, but we have reasons to suppose that it was occasioned in great part by the conscious impossibility of breaking through our compact lines at Sewell, and by the imminent dangers which seem to threaten Cincinnati itself. The rapidly advanced movements of the Confederates in Kentucky and Missouri will have a wonderf

men in hospital, and for two days prior to my arrival there, the men had not one particle of sugar, and had to lay, during that terrific flood in a miserable sop of straw, with nothing but a miserable canvas to screen them from the rains; and in many instances, I found as many as ten and fifteen sick men in one of those miserable excuses. This news will surprise many, yet it is true. Where does the blame lie? The Generals say it is not their fault; then who is to blame? While at Gauley Bridge, Surgeon Menzies took me to visit the hospitals at that place, and I must here confess that I never felt so much shocked in all my life for there were men in the last agonies, suffering from cold and exposure. They had no blankets when I arrived there, but Dr. Menzies rode back immediately to the Quartermaster and it was with great difficulty he could obtain one hundred single blankets to protect from the inclemency of the weather two hundred men. Then the floors, walls, beds, and cloth

fail. Kanawha Valley. [from the Cincinnati Gazette,] Oct. 30th The steamer Dunlelty arrived from Camp Enyart last evening, and brings the intelligence that on Friday last our pickets were fired upon on the Fayetteville road, South of Gauley Bridge, killing two members of the First Kentucky Regiment, but their names had not been ascertained when the boat left. Heavy cannonading was heard at Camp Enyart. on Sunday night, in the direction of Gauley Bridge, and it is supposed that an engGauley Bridge, and it is supposed that an engagement was going on. The Victor No. 2 was fired into, but without any effect to those aboard. Since writing the above the Allen Collier arrived at our wharf, with Col. Guthrie, of the First Kentucky regiment, on leave of absence. From him we learn that the firing on pickets at Fayetteville was done on Thursday, and that seven rebels were killed in return, and the bodies of our two men were recovered under a flag of truce. The firing into the Victor No. 2 was done on Saturday last, a

Tazewell C. H. Va. Nov. 11, 1861 We have just learned, through our dispatch bearer, M. L. Comann, some very exciting and interesting news from the Sandy country. You are aware that our forces in that section were under the command of Col. John Williams, and that he had evacuated Prestonsburg, and taken a stand some few miles this side. (This information I communicated to you in my last epistle.) On last Thursday, the 7th, our forces fell back from their position to a place called Gauley Bridge, a new name recently given to a little creek or ravine called Marrow-bone, some 16 miles from Pikesville, the county seat of Pike county. At this point, a little deep stream empties into the Louisa Fork of Sandy. A bridge of some length crosses this stream. Here our forces determined to give the enemy a chance to show their bravery. But before they advanced very far, our men fell back to Pikesville. On arriving at Pikesville, Col. Williams ordered Capt. May, and some other Captain,

The story of the resignation of Gen. Wool, set afloat by some ingenious correspondent, is without foundation. Nothing is known here of any intention on the part of the General to resign. Consultation of the President and General M'Clellan. A lengthy consultation was held to-day between the President, Major-Gen. McClellan, and Col. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War. Affairs along the lines. The army telegraph reports all quiet along the lines. The recent Affair at Gauley Bridge. It is believed at headquarters here that the reports hither to received in regard to the battle between Gen. Rosencranz and Floyd are exaggerations. It appears that Floyd was firing for twelve hours upon Rosencranz's camp without injuring a single man. There has, however, been no contradiction of the report that Generals Benham and Schenck had gone to the rear of Floyd's army and hemmed it in.

Statement of a Confederate prisoner — a Correction. Near Charlottesville, Nov. 25, 1861. Editors Dispatch: On my return from the West, a few days since, I found my absence and delay had produced reports of my being a prisoner among the Yankees, and in justice to Gen. Rosecrans and his subordinate officer, I should explain my visit and detention within his lines. Col. C. Q. Tompkins, (my wife's brother in-law,) resided two miles east of Gauley Bridge, and having raised several regiments in the Kanawha region, was well known as a "rebel" officer, and left his family, servants and farm in August to the courtesies of civilized warfare. They were nobly protected by Gen. Cox, and soon after Gen. Rosecrans (not Rosencranz) reached there after his retreat from Sewell mountain; he promised her to go under a flag of truce to our lines on her way to Richmond, and on her return home-ward, I accompanied her, intending to go as far as permitted by the enemy under a flag of truce, a

posing that they would have an easy time, marched with some three hundred cavalry to attack Lewisburg, but after getting within fourteen miles of the place they discovered our scouts and immediately beat a retreat in double-quick time back to Gauley Bridge. We have since learned that their instructions were not to burn the place, but to plunder the stores and private dwellings of their most valuable property and destroy the balance. The reason assigned for not burning the town was that they w to see what they could accomplish in that direction, but were entirely folled in their efforts. It has been pretty accurately ascertained that the enemy have about five thousand men in the Kanawha Valley, with large depots of army stores at Gauley Bridge, Huddleston's Charleston, and Point Pleasant, besides several hundred of road wagons and pack mules, and there is no doubt that at the very first opportunity they will endeavor to penetrate farther into the State.--Our people will spare no pa
