He reports that all the rebel infantry and artillery have left Western Virginia, after having procured large quantities of salt from the wells in the valley.

The party of General Stahel, under Colonel Wyndham, had passed on Friday last through Thoroughfare Gap to White Plains and Salem, where they cd, and had captured at Haymarket seven wagons, loaded with forage, which were on the way to Colonel Wyndham.

Colonel Wyndham was informed that a whole division of the rebels had come down from Winchester, and was in the vicinity of Thoroughfare Gap. We give to day the

n in our Louisville correspondence to-day, and the result of the action of Generals Rousseau and McCook, in not fulfilling the orders entrusted to them, which caused their arrest by Gen. Buell, is setollowing reasons why Buell failed to capture Bragg's command: When it became apparent that McCook would be the first to fall in with the enemy, General Buell arranged his plan of battle and issud provided for the sure entrapment of the rebel army. Nothing less than this was contemplated. McCook, if attacked, was to fall back a specified distance, and lure the enemy on after him. This distanates more of his plans than are necessary to a full understanding of the part each is to play. McCook's instructions were clear. If attacked, fall, back.--McCook possibly did not comprehend the necMcCook possibly did not comprehend the necessity of a retrograde movement.

re proof, and will soon be ready for duty again.--The enemy's loss, as afterward reported to us, was about the same as ours--one man killed, and six or seven wounded. In two hours the rebel guns were silenced and withdrawn. At 11 o'clock we moved forward cautiously, as the country is well adapted to ambuscades. We passed their deserted camp, but found only its debris--a ten, two or three huts, a cooking stove and a frying pan. Just out of the village we reached the residence of Mr. Hunter, a member of the Virginia Senate, which General Banks occupied as headquarters last year. It is a large, elegant house, with ample grounds. Of course the owner was not there to welcome us. But the rebel guns were planted just in front, and our shells out down palings and plowed up the ground about it. Many of them fell in the village, cutting roofs and knocking down chimneys, but injuring none of the citizens. At noon we entered the village, and for the fifth time during the war Cha

rlestown, and yet no interruption. We began to think the rebels a myth. But suddenly there was a gun in front of us. In a moment, another, and a rifled shot came singing by, cutting through the tree branches, with sharp, incisive music. The smoke showed it came from the spot, where, last night, Capt. Pettit pointed out to me, through his glass, two rebel field pieces, four or five miles from his battery. Clark's guns, commanded by Lieut. Dickinson, began to reply vigorously, and Tompkin's battery, also soon in position, joined in the chorus. The rebels were using only two or three pieces, but they fired very rapidly. Nearly all their shells struck a few rods to the left of our column. Few exploded, owing to defective fuses. We learned afterward that the same was true of our own shells. The cavalry was placed in a safe position — an infallible sign of danger — the infantry brought up and deployed. From the rear of our batteries the rebel cavalry was plainly discern

Bragg's command: When it became apparent that McCook would be the first to fall in with the enemy, General Buell arranged his plan of battle and issued the necessary instructions. These instructions were of a comprehensive nature, and provided for the sure entrapment of the rebel army. Nothing less than this was contemplated. McCook, if attacked, was to fall back a specified distance, and lure the enemy on after him. This distance was two or three miles, sufficiently far to leave Crittenden on the left flank of the enemy. In the meantime Gilbert war to press on and get into the enemy's rear. Thus he would be completely surrounded, and, as he was known to have but forty five or fifty thousand men at the most, his capture by the superior number of Buell's entire army would have been certain. But behold the result. Probably Gen. Buell did not explain to all his subordinate officers the full details of his plan. I believe it is not usual for a commander-in chief to expla

The following are the number and present disposition of all the rebel troops: Rebel "Army of the Potomac," commanded by General Lee in person, headquarters at Winchester, army corps of Gen. Jackson, Gen. Longstreet, and Gen. Hill, each about 40,000 strong, and including the divisions of Gen. Ewell, Gen. Huger, Gen. Stuart, Gen. Ross, and Gen. Craig120,000 Gen.

: The damage by the conflagration will exceed two hundred thousand dollars, of which amount the Cumberland Valley Railroad company suffer to the extent of $80,000. Mr O. N. Lull, the superintendent of the road, had all of his furniture destroyed. The car, engine, wood and water-houses of the company were totally destroyed, and for a space of three hundred square yards there is now nothing left but the blackened and smouldering remains. The track was uninjured. The warehouses of Messrs. Wunderlich & Neid contained a large amount of ammunition and stores; among the former seven hundred thousand cartridges, seven hundred muskets, and a quantity of shells, loose powder, &c.--One car was loaded with revolvers, which the rebels carried off with them. Two long trains of cars, loaded with goods consigned to private individuals, were not disturbed. There were about eight hundred horses taken from the stables and the farmers in the vicinity, and a number of skinny, attenuated equines l

the carpenter and a deck hand were found dead below. At the same time two feet of water was discovered in the hold of the Saint Maurice. The pilot of the Cyrus Bell was shot dead at the wheel. The General Williams had ten men scalded to death by the cutting in two of a supply pipe. The Iberville had one of her engines disabled by the enemy's shots. The very first shot from the enemy — a twenty-pounder rifle — passed through and through the Sciota. Finding that the work was warm, Capt. Lowry turned the Sciota around, and in this way he met the Kinco and the itasca, with which he returned to where the battery was Owing to the height of the levee at that place the battery could not be engaged with advantage at short range. Consequently the gunboat had to drop down the stream to some distance, where, taking advantage of a curve of the river, they commenced a furious cannonade of the battery, taking it in flank; but no reply was elicited. The rebels, in pursuance of their usual

It probably costs not less than $5,000 to put the machinery of a draft in motion in a county. Windham county, Ct, being nine short of the quota, the whole operation must be gone through with in order to get nine men. The "Federal Union" party at Brooklyn has nominated General John A.
