ence. In that short time we have increased our territory one-fourth, and subjected the enemy to many disgraceful and disastrous defeats. But our brave, skillful, and able Generals, panting themselves for the battle, have restrained the ardor of their troops, pursued the Fabian, the Washingtonian, and Wellingtonian policy, and fought only when they were prepared and could fight on equal terms. Such has been the policy and practice of Beauregard, of Jolinston, of Magruder, of Lee, McCulloch, Wise, and Floyd; and our President, a distinguished scientific and practical soldier, and wise civilian, has concurred in, approved of, and directed this safe, prudent, humane, Fabian strategy. His Secretary of War, and the rest of his Cabinet, have agreed with him and were a unit on this subject. Everybody who knows anything about military affairs — everybody who is acquainted with the numbers, position, and all the surrounding circumstances of the opposing armies — speaks in terms of admiratio

t two hours, the General and his Aids walked off slowly from the centre of the breastworks towards Col. Wharton's command on the left wing, to see how things were progressing there, a distance of 400 yards, and all the time, while going and returning, the General was exposed to the guns of the enemy, and the balls fell thick and fast around him, as well as those who were with him. No deed of daring, comparable with this, has been performed by any one Turing the whole of the present war. If Gen. Wise had furnished the reinforcements that were asked of him, Gen. Floyd could easily have held his position, and finally would have routed the enemy, and this day we would be in possession of Charlestown. But not only is Gen. Floyd distinguished for his bravery and military sagacity, he is also eminent for his strict temperance habits and correct morals. He neither drinks liquor, nor gambles, nor uses profane language. He has the greatest respect for religion and those who profess it. H

city was full of rumors yesterday, many of them, as usual, being entirely destitute of truth. Gen. Wise arrived from the army of the Kanawha on Saturday evening, and brought highly interesting intelSewell to 4,000 men. Our loss in the three day's skirmishing was two killed and three wounded, Gen. Wise states that the shot, shell and rifle balls which his troops poured in upon the position occup that Rosencranz had gone back to Cheat Mountain; but whether Rosencranz or Cox be in command, Gen. Wise is sanguine that Gen. Lee will whip the enemy and drive him back. The position at Big Sewell is a very strong one, and seems to have been well chosen by Gen. Wise as a stand point. The most intense anxiety prevails to hear additional news from the West, but the bridges on the two railroads.st be occasioned in the transmission of dispatches.--Gen. Henningsen, who has been attached to Gen. Wise's staff, also arrived in Richmond on Saturday. Most exaggerated rumors were in circulatio

Southern War news.movements and fighting in the West. In another part of the Dispatch will be found intelligence concerning Gen. Lee--the latest from the Western army. We copy the following from the Lynchburg Republican of yesterday: From a passenger from Charlottesville, on Saturday, we learn that reports had reached that place, that the enemy had been repulsed in their attack upon Gen. Wise's column, of which Gen. Lee had taken command in person, on the Big Sewell on Tuesday, and had renewed the attack on Wednesday with the same result. Again on Thursday morning early the fight recommenced, and was raging with fierceness when the person who brought the report left the neighborhood of the battle ground. It was confidently believed that General Lee would succeed in eventually defeating the enemy, as reinforcements had reached him, and others were on their way to join him, who would probably get up in time to take part in the battle. The Federal loss is said to
