Buckner's troops were thus cut in two. Jones, faithful to the task which had been assigned to him long before, was falling, rnside had to be master of the road which traverses Cumberland Gap and to drive Jones' troops into Virginia. That was his first care. Courcy's brigade, in order toe, he might yet have reached Virginia through the valley of Powell's River; but Jones, himself being imprudent, sent word to him to hold his ground and promised promg the banks of the upper Kanawha, where we have left him, had come to reinforce Jones between Bristol and Abingdon.

Finally, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Burnside, believing that Foster had accomplished his movement, caused Jones' position to be attacked by Ferrero's division. The Confederate line did not resist long. The shadows of night put a stop to the operations of the Unionists, buto occasion do the Confederates know how to combine their efforts against Burnside. It is at the moment when Stevenson and Cheatham are idle at Athens that General Samuel Jones, who is in command in Western Virginia, receives orders to assume offensive movements with Ransom's division.

Jones' two brigades, passing to the northward of Clinch Mountain, will occupy, at the neck of Bean's So turn the Federal positions.

The battles in Kentucky. The following dispatch was received yesterday afternoon. Knoxville, Oct. 16. To General S. Coopper A wounded officer arrived here this morning, says that the fight to Kentucky continued three days--the 7th, 18th and 6th. Gen. Bragg was succeeded with capturing many guns and over ten thousand military killing and wounding many. I have heard of Co-General officers killed on our side. The commanding officer at Cumberland Gap writes to day that the reports are all very favorable, but vague. A telegram, just received from Gen.

They paroled on their retreat 75 or 80 of our men, whom, I suppose, they found it inconvenient to carry off. Of course the parole, under such circumstances, is worthless, under their own order. The damage to the railroad can be repaired in an hour or so. The jail, commissary and quartermaster storehouses, and several private houses, were burned. (Signed,) Samuel Jones, Major Gen'l.

ty yesterday morning: White Sulphur Springs, Aug. 27, Via Dublin, Aug. 28. To Gen. S. Cooper: We met the enemy yesterday morning about a mile and a half from this place, on the road leading to the Warm Springs. We fought from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. Every attack made by the enemy was repulsed. At night each side occupied the same position they had in the morning. This morning the enemy made two other attacks, which were handsomely repulsed, when he abandoned his position and retreated towards Warm Springs, pursued by cavalry and artillery. The troops engaged were the first brigade of this army, Col. George S. Patton commanding. The enemy were about three thousand strong, with six pieces of artillery, under Brig. Gen. Averill. Our loss is about two hundred killed and wounded. The enemy's loss is not known. We have taken about one hundred and fifty prisoners and a piece of artillery. Samuel Jones, Major General.
