e three I have named that Col. Wade Hampton ordered the artillery of the Legion to proceed to Free Stone Point, about seven miles above, and there throw up a masked battery, with a view of distracting the attention and engaging the fire of the enemy, who were gathering in force off the Point. How well he succeeded in decoying the Federal fleet away from the spot, and thus enabling the mechanics to work unheard, (for being behind trees, neither of the batteries could be perceived,) and how Capt. Lee sank one of the ships with Long Tom, are already matters of history. Being finally fully completed, with guns mounted and men ready for action, on Tuesday last orders were given by Gen. Trimble to cut away the woods and unmask the works to the eyes of the outside world. As good fortune would have it, the U. S. steamer Seminole was passing at the moment, and without any ceremony a couple of heavy shots were thrown at her as a birthday gift. Whether the spiteful style of presentation

is a native citizen of that country. His command will be distinct from, and independent of that of the Army of the Kanawha, and will be denominated the army of the Monongahela. It will embrace the present commands of Generals Henry Jackson and Loring, and all the troops about Winchester. --We understand that General T. Jackson has left the Army of the Potomac and proceeded to this new field of duty, where he will prove himself an instance of "the right man in the right place." General Robert E. Lee having left the West, the command of the Army of the Kanawha is devolved upon General Floyd. If General Jackson could succeed with a strong column in making his way westward from Winchester to Grafton and Wheeling so as to occupy some of the force of Rosencranz in that direction, and divert the reinforcements sent to him from Ohio from the Kanawha Valley, so as to relieve General Floyd of the great preponderance of force he is now facing, we should not yet despair of recovering West
