We understand that orders had gone out from the War Department there to fall back as far as that place, which were issued in consequence of the difficulty of transporting supplies to Cotton Hill, and the hazard of remaining there in the face of so large a force as the enemy have on the Kanawha. In executing the retreat, the engagement occurred at Laurel Creek, near Cotton Hill, in which the enemy were repulsed with considerable loss. In a subsequent skirmish, which and no other serious result, we regret to say that Col. Croghan was killed, a very gallant officer, whose loss will be severely felt by our army.
