The fight on the Kanawha.a Federal account. The Cincinnati Commercial has the following account of the fight at Scarey Creek, in which a small portion of Gen. Wise's command, under Lieut. Col. Patton, engaged a superior force of the enemy: The steamer Dunlefth, Capt. A. D. Wilson, arrived from Parkersburg yesterday, bringing the latest intelligence from the Kanawha River. The reports being somewhat contradictory, we give the statements of both loyal and rebel authorities. Capt. Hugh Campbell, of the Government transport steamer Mary Cook, who came passenger in the Dunlefth, reports that a severe action took place on Thursday afternoon, between the rebels and the Federal troops under Col. Lowe, of the 12th Ohio Regiment, and seven companies of Col. Norton's regiment. Capt. Campbell did not learn any satisfactory details, but states that our troops exhausted all their ammunition, and retired, after severe loss, with their two field-pieces. The Federal fleet was lying

rifled-cannon ball enough from the field of Scary to fire thirty rounds; when occasion presents, we will return them with our compliments. A word in regard to the accounts of Northern correspondents, reproduced in Southern papers, as to the losses in military stores and "traps" incurred on our retreat. They were considerable, owing to two unfortunate accidents, to which I merely refer, without taking time to explain. The steamboat Julia Maffitt, owing to the too great eagerness of Col. Patton's command to engage the enemy, and their consequent delay, was detained until her passage up the river was exposed to the enemy's cannon, and she had to be abandoned and destroyed to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. With her were consumed the baggage of several companies, and some commissary supplies for our army. A similar untoward occurrence, for which no blame could attach to those in command, occasioned a smaller loss, owing to a mutiny on board the Kanawha Valle

rgy than is usual among veterans of the old service." Gen. Longstreet also mentions the conduct of Capt. Marye, of the 17th Virginia Volunteers, as especially gallant on one occasion in advance of the ford The regiments of Early's brigade were commanded by Col. Harry Hays and Lieut. Cols. Williams and Hairston, who handled their commands in action with satisfactory coolness and skill, supported by their field officers, Lieut. Col. De Choisent and Major Penn, of the 7th Louisiana, and Major Patton, of the 7th Virginia Volunteers. The skill, the conduct, and the soldierly qualities of the Washington Artillery engaged, were all that could be desired. The officers and men attached to the seven pieces already specified won for their battalion a distinction which, I feel assured, will never be tarnished, and which will ever serve to urge them and their corps to high endeavor. Lieutenant Squires worthily commanded the pieces in action. The commander of the battalion was necessari

ly yesterday morning eight thousand of the Federals marched up to Munson's Hill, which our men were fortifying, and made an attempt to dislodge them.--Our advance consists of Longstreet's and Bonham's brigades, stationed near each other, and close by Munson's Hill. Long-street's force is composed of the First Virginia Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Fry, in the absence of Col. Moore, who was wounded at the battle of the 18th; the Seventh Virginia, Col. Kemper, Lieut. Col. Williams, and Major Patton; the Eleventh Virginia, Col. Garland; the Seventeenth Virginia, Col. Corse; one Georgia Regiment attached at present, and several pieces of artillery. Gen. Bonham has four South Carolina regiments--the 2d, Col. Kershaw; the 3d, Col. Cash; the 4th, Col. Sloan, and the 5th, Col. Williams. A portion of these were sent against the approaching enemy, and the engagement commenced. After a severe fight the Federals were repulsed, and fled towards their line. There was another small affai

orning papers, which was perhaps the object of the attack. Lieutenant Swindler was ordered to deploy his company as skirmishers to the right and left, they being armed with rifles; and Lieut. Gibson was ordered to carry his company up by the "right flank." Both orders were carried out coolly and bravely by each company. As they approached the house a heavy fire opened upon them from a corn-field adjoining the barn, doing some closer cutting, but hitting but one man, Lieut. Swindler, Jr. Major Patton then ordered Lieut. Swindler to take his company and search the house, while Lieut. Gibson was to hold the barn. Both were done: the "Washington Greys" surrounding the house — a large one, containing some twenty rooms, perhaps — and searching it, and the "Giles Volunteers" holding the barn under fire, which they returned, with effect, certainly killing one and wounding another. The "Washington Greys" are certainly a splendid set of fellows, both officers and men, and I am sure would hav

Alabama Legislature--Governor's message Montgomery, Ala.,., Oct. 20. --The Legislature of Alabama met in this city on yesterday. Mr. Patton, of Lauderdale, was elected President of the Senate, and Mr. Crenshaw, of Butler, Speaker of the House. The Governor in his message to-day says, that if the General Assembly can devise a plan to pay the war tax without collecting it from the people at present, he recommends that it be adopted; but if no satisfactory and constitutional plan can be devised he thinks it best to make no change. He says that the State of Alabama has now 27,000 troops in the service of the Confederacy, and other regiments are being organized. He congratulates the State that all its citizens are patriotically united in sustaining the movements in operation to establish the independence of the Southern Confederacy.
