Floyd and his command in the Northwest will be interesting to the readers of the Dispatch. Now is the time to furnish material for the future historian. While every true patriot is bound to do his best, during the present difficulties, in fighting for the independence of his beloved countrp and on the field of battle, the conclusion must inevitably be that he is truly a great man and a skillful General. It may be that he has some enemies, but we hazard the opinion that if they were with him during his present campaign, their animosity would be changed into friendship. We predict for him a glorious career as a military chieftain, and whenever he goes to battle for our civil liberties we shall follow him, till we secure our independence or die in the attempt.

Floyd was ordered forward from Meadow Bluff to Join Gen. Lee with the remainder of his command, and it is probable that, with other reinforcements, we have now 6,000 men at Big Sewell Mountain. There is a report 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
