though wholly unexpecting an attack, speedily formed in line-of battle eager for the fray. Two companies of the 44th were sent down the turnpike, and I noticed Hansborough's battalion of gallant Northwest boys filing over the hill through the woods, a near cut to a bend in the road, to get the first crack at the assailants. But imain-guard duty that day over the river next the enemy. At daybreak, a number of us went down to the western branch of the Greenbrier, under the command of Colonel Hansborough, (who was officer of the day) and burnt the bridge right in the face of the Yankees. They fired several shots at us, but double-quicked out of sight when oer dark, in the rain, being one of the rear guard, composed of the squads of that and the previous days, in number about three hundred, under the command of Colonel Hansborough.

The mud was ankle-deep and cold and we could scarcely find our quarters, which were generally tends, but occasionally unfinished log-huts. Several hundred men had been detailed for weeks in this mountain to build cabins; but they had done comparatively little for our comfort. I understand Gen. H. R. Jackson has gone to Georgia to assume a command there. Col. Johnson will command here Col. Taliaferro will command at Monterey. A bleak and disagreeable winter will we have here, after a hard and unfortunate campaign. But it is sweet to suffer, as well as to die, for one's country — no vive la petral. And yet the country is full of censure or of contemptuous pity, for the army of the Northwest, because, forsooth, it has gained no brilliant victories like those of Manassas, Leesburg, and Springfield. Well, it matte

From the Alleghany mountains. withdrawal of troops from camp Bartow — Severe weather — rumors of an approach of the enemy. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp Alleghany, Nov. 24, 1861. Day before yesterday our forces at Camp Bartow withdrew eastward, part stopping here on top of the Alleghany mountains, and the rest taking up quarters in Crab Bottom and Monterey. It is snowing; the wind is blowing a hurricane; it is as cold as the North Pole; and of all the dreary and desolate places on earth, this is entitled to the palm. Yet, the boys are in spirits, their loud halloo, jocund laughter, and occasionally the enlivening sound of the fiddle bravely throwing off Dixie to the echo of these hills, break on my ear above the flapping of tents and the whistling of the tempest. Yesterday a report flew threw camp that the enemy were in pursuit of us and within a mile. The troops, though wholly unexpecting an attack, speedily formed in line-of battl

ches of the city, to certain railroad companies, to the secretary and assistants, and to Bishop Andrew, which were severally adopted unanimously by a rising vote. The Bishop responded very happily to the resolution referring to himself, and concerning the officers, said, "he had never seen officers who pleased him better." It was ordered that on the several circuits and stations a collection to defray the expenses of the delegates to the General Conference, be taken in the month of March, and forwarded to Rev. D. S. Doggett, at Richmond, Va. Several standing committees of the Conference were announced; and there being no further business, the Bishop proceeded with the closing exercises. The Bishop gave out the hymn on page 190 Methodist hymn book, commencing "Draw near, O, Son of God, draw near," and the whole immense auditory united in singing it to the tune Woolridge. The effect was truly magnificent. The Bishop then offered a most impressive and fervent p
