around our town. The Legion of Gen. Wise, which spent some days at the White Sulphur Springs, came back in due time wonderfully improved. I believe a stranger would have thought them equipped for the first time, so well so well did they look. Floyd's Brigade looked well and marched well. Both Generals are engaged in their work west of us with — men, and more are on their way now. I visited the camp of the 51st Regiment Virginia volunteers on yesterday. I found them encamped in a largne the less brave and true, when Christians. I do not think it proper to give thus publicly the numbers and movements of our troops in these parts. Nor am I sufficiently posted to give their exploits correctly. Suffice it to say, we believe that Tyler and Cox are trying to get out of the way of Generals Floyd and Wise, and that Rosencranz is alarmed already at the not that is being thrown around him. We also hear of severs skirmishing in the Kanawha, in which our troops are successful.

A here in the battle of Cross Lanes. A young soldier, writing from Floyd's command, says that they are strongly posted on the Ganley. His letter is dated the 26th ult., the day of the battle of Cross Lanes. He thus speaks of one of the participants in that battle: "While I write, there is a young man, who is the hero of the day. His clothes are perfectly riddled. He got surrounded by the enemy; but, getting behind a tree, he dared them to take him. One fired at him, cutting his cartridge box off, and almost instantly another one shot the lock off of his musket; when, drawing his revolvers--two six shooters — he killed both and wounded several others. He is a surgeon by profession, and says that he was in the thickest of the fight.--He pitched in, and after fading that he had fought himself out of his scrape, he thought it time to commence his professional duties, and took two arms off, besides dressing a good many wounds and cutting out some four or five balls."
