h West. Safay of the Virginia and Tennessee railroads-- Gens. Zollicoffer, Marshall, and Floyd. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Abingdon, Dec. 1, 1861. It can be said wit Pound Gap much nearer than Piketon. Hearing of the attack of Col. Clarkson's cavalry, from General Floyd's army, on Guyandotte, they took a panic, and, after gathering up all the plunder they could for the line of the railroad about Newbern, owing to false reports of a disastrous retreat by Gen. Floyd, which got into circulation; but it has turned out that these rumors were more exaggerations. General Floyd went down to Cotton Hill, Fayette co., on a plan concerted with Gen.
