The Daily Dispatch: August 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], Direct trade with the South. (search)
The Army of the Northwest. There is hardly a probability of truth in any of the rumors touching engagements as yet between our forces and those under General Rosengrass in the Northwest. We see by late Northern papers that this General was at Clarksburg in Harrison county. He had been apposing earnestly for reinforcements to make up for the disbanded three months men who had returned home. It is not likely that he has left his men very far down in Virginia.--He has more probably retreated to Philipp; or Grafton. Though we put no faith in the rumors already received of collisions, it is likely that there are some active movements is going on that will soon bring on some fighting or rapid retreating; and this time we are satisfied that, if the latter, it will not be on our side.

try to storm the fortified Cheat Mountain Gaps, but would endeavor to cut a new road over what has been supposed an impassable mountain range, and make a flank movement on the forces that were awaiting his attack in front. Then little or nothing was said of his movements, but now the air is thick with rumors that he is cutting a road through the mountains; that he is delaying until he can draw our forces to the Gaps; that he may then make a rapid rush past them, to Beverly, and hurry on to Grafton and the key to our railroad communication. Of this plan — if plan it be — and of our movements to resist it, or any other attempt that the enemy may make, it need only be said that General Rosecranz is supposed to be maturing ample preparations. Meanwhile the reviving hopes of the Secessionists may be observed in an infallible barometer. Those who are familiar with the Philippi, Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain campaign, will remember what an outburst of guerilla fighting there was through

s of men who are ranging through that country indicate that such is the design. To come through the Pass would result in a great sacrifice of life, without an adequate advantage. To come by French Creek, and get between the supply depots and the forces beyond that section, would be far more advantageous to a hostile force, and is probably not lost sight of by the rebel Generals in command. Skirmish in Western Virginia. The Wheeling Press lately gave an account of a skirmish near Grafton, in which it was stated that 200 Virginians were signally routed by 50 Federalists, led by Capt. Dayton, and a considerable number killed and wounded. A letter from Piedmont to the Baltimore Exchange says: Now the truth is simply this: The aforesaid Dayton was sent out from Webster on a scouting expedition, and whilst out came upon an old man and his son, who were harvesting. As soon as the boy discovered the soldiers, he attempted to make his escape, and was fired at by them and wo

Western Virginia Geography. The Northern papers, and many of our own, have very much confounded the movements of our troops in Northwestern Virginia. We have two columns operating in that section of the State at considerable distances apart, over a most mountainous and impassable country.--One column, under Generals Lee and Loring are operating against Rosencranz, in the county of Randolph and on the Cheat Mountain, in the direction of Grafton. The other column, under Generals Floyd and Wisz, is operating against Cox, in the direction of the Kanawha Valley, in the county of Fayette, on the New river, which becomes the Kanawha below the mouth of the Gauley river. At the mouth of Gauley the enemy are posted in fores. The Hawk's Nest is on the right bank of New river, above the confluence of the Gauley. When, therefore, the enemy's dispatches from Cincinnati mix up General Wise in the movements of Generals Lee and Loring that very fact proves that their authors are ignoran

But to proceed; Virginia seceded April 16th; the following Monday (22d) Bath sent a splendid company of dragoons, numbering eighty-five men, who were ordered to Staunton; were mustered into service the latter part of May; were ordered to proceed to Grafton; were in the retreat of the handful of men at Philippi, before the Yankee army; were at Beverly several weeks before any other cavalry arrived, and performed all the scouting for many miles around. They were also in Garnett's retreat. All of the company are now unfit for duty, with the exception of six; they are at present in Major Lee's squadron of cavalry. This company consists of as fine material as any in the service. They were presented with a splendid flag by the ladies of "Bath."

the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, East of Piedmont, anticipated an attack at daybreak yesterday morning from the rebels at Romney, but none came. The pickets had been firing upon one another there for several days.--There are only about six hundred men at New Creek, including the Ringgold Cavalry. A battery of artillery, however, was sent down there yesterday morning. Proclamation of Gen. Kelly. Brigadier General Kelly has issued the following order: Headquarters District of Grafton, Grafton, Va., Sept. 7, 1861. The General commanding desires to reassure the people of Western Virginia that it is the desire and intention of the United States Government to give to the citizens full and ample protection in all their civil and political rights, and that private property, of whatever character or description, shall be held inviolate. In order to secure to the owners of slaves the most ample protection that can be given, as well as protect the Baltimore and Oh

ated. Wise is down southeast of Hawk's Nest letting Cox alone severely. McCook took several prisoners yesterday, in an armed reconnaissance across the river. Most of our wounded are doing very well. [second Dispatch.] Camp Scott, Va., Sept. 15. --General Cox is here to-day for an interview with Gen. Rosencranz. He moved the main body of his army from Gauley Bridge towards Lewisburg. Wise and Floyd are both retreating as fast as possible. Gen. Schenck is at Grafton, pushing along matters finely for active movements. Several regular officers are ordered to report immediately to headquarters. If the people of Ohio wish to see the campaign in Western Virginia still more successful, let them hurry forward troops immediately by thousands. They can never be more serviceable than just now.

llor, and when last seen was endeavoring to get back up the river. A rumor, which is not credited generally, says that seven thousand rebels are advancing to the Kanawha, to cut off army supplies. The Horizon and Empire City, with a regiment of Federal troops, passed up the Kanawha only an hour ahead of the Izetta. The Indiana troops. The following dispatch, dated "Indianapolis, Oct. 11," is taken from the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 12th: Gen. Stone has returned to Grafton and Cheal Mountain to see what has been received and what is needed for Indiana. The troops will be marched out of Western Virginia if they are robbed, swindled, and neglected again as in time past. Neither her Governor nor their officers will suffer a repetition of these outrages. The morning papers will contain a portion of Gov. Morton's dispatches relating to clothing our troops in Western Virginia. The Thirty-Ninth Illinois regiment left Chicago yesterday for St. Louis. The I

the persistent determination of the Yankees to bear off the palm over all creation in the qualification of steering clear of the truth: On Thursday, the 24th of October, the enemy, 1,000 strong, stationed at New Creek, were reinforced from Grafton by Gen. Kelley's brigade, consisting of three regiments of infantry, three companies of cavalry, and several pieces of artillery. On Friday, they took up their line of march for Romney in two columns, 1,000 approaching by way of Springfield, an are being committed; stock and valuable property of all kinds is being stolen from the county, and conveyed to New Creek, and sent West. In addition to the five thousand now in the county, it is rumored that additional reinforcements have left Grafton and Cumberland, and are now on the way to join Kelly's command.
