Disloyal. --A man named S. Tharp was carried from one of the N. C. hospitals, yesterday, and lodged in Castle Thunder on the charge of disloyalty. Another, named J. G. Alderson, also bailing from North Carolina, was sent to the same place on the same charge by order of Gen. Loring.
Movements in Western Virginia. From a gentleman who arrived in this city yesterday, we have some interesting particulars of the movements of the forces under Major General Loring, in Western Virginia. On Saturday week the army broke camp at their former headquarters, (the Narrows of New river. in Giles county.) moving in three columns. These three columns formed a junction on Tuesday morning at Shady Springs, in Raleigh county, and that evening encamped a short distance beyond Raleigh Cho were preparing to leave with them were left behind to fall into the hands of our soldiers. The whole of the Greenbrier Valley has been evacuated, the enemy moving in the direction of the Kanawha Valley. Our informant says that within the last ten days not less than eight hundred loyal Western Virginians have passed through Greenbrier county, enroute to join the forces of Gens. Loring and Floyd, These represent that thousands of others will unite with our forces as opportunity affords.

f Stuart, Buchanan & Co., to sell the State of Virginia the water to make salt, charging Virginia more for the water than is paid by the State of Georgia, though the works are located in this State. With regard to the State Penitentiary he recommends the dismissal of some of the present incumbents, as he does not think "energy, industry, or judgment" have been exhibited in the management of that institution — He recommends that the free negro and slave convicts be sold, or other wise disposed of, as they are but little less than nuisances in the neighborhoods in which they have been put to work.--Gen. Floyd's command has not been filled up, because of the "improper and unwarranted interference" of Gen. Loring, who stopped the enrollment of militia in Monroe, Giles, and other counties.--The command under Gen. F., however, is now large. An amnesty to those who have taken the oath of allegiance to Lincoln's Government, is recommended. An increase of the pay of our soldiers is urged.
From Western Virginia. The War Department received yesterday morning information from the command of Gen. Leering of the most gratifying character. That officer telegraphed the Department that he had defeated the Federal forces in three separate engagements, and that the routed enemy were rapidly retreating down the Kanawha Valley towards the Ohio river, while his own forces were in hot pursuit. These engagements took place near the Great Falls of Kanawha, a few miles below the mouth of the Gauley river. Gen. Loring also states that Gen. Jenkins had recently captured a Federal depot of arms and provisions, and that Gen. J. penetrated some twenty miles into the State of Ohio. the number of arms captured is estimated at 5,000.
The capture of the Salt Works in Kanawha. The following telegram was received at the War Department yesterday: Dublin, Sept. 16th, 1862. Hon. Geo. W. Randolph Gen. Loring's command entered the Kanawha Salines last Saturday morning and took possession of the salt works, closely pursuing the enemy, en route for Charleston. Salt works not much endured, a very large quantity of salt on hand; selling at thirty five (35) cents per bushel. An order has been sent to me urging the farmers to send forward their wagons, loaded with forage, &c., and return with salt. (Singed.) Thos. L. Brown, Major Comd'g Post.
Oley Battery. --In the battle between our forces under Gen. Loring and the enemy, near Fayette Court- House, on the 11th instant, the Oley Battery, of this city, was engaged, and had a number of men killed and wounded. Of the killed we have been furnished the names of Henry Smith, George Leftwich, and Curtis Chamberlayne, of this city.

Address of Gen. Loring to the people of Western Virginia. Major General Loring has issued an address to the people of Western Virginia, calling on them to rally to his standard. He says we do not intend to punish those who remain at home as quiet citizens in obedience to the laws of the land, and that to all such "clemency and amnesty are declared." He says: When the liberal policy of the Confederate Government shall be introduced and made known to the people, who have so long expeMajor General Loring has issued an address to the people of Western Virginia, calling on them to rally to his standard. He says we do not intend to punish those who remain at home as quiet citizens in obedience to the laws of the land, and that to all such "clemency and amnesty are declared." He says: When the liberal policy of the Confederate Government shall be introduced and made known to the people, who have so long experienced the wanton misrule of the invader, the Commanding General expects the people heartily to sustain it, not only as a duty, but as a deliverance from their taskmasters and usurpers. Indeed, he already recognizes in the cordial welcome which the people everywhere give to the army, a happy indication of their attachment to their true and lawful Government. Until the proper authorities shall order otherwise, and in the absence of municipal law and its customary ministers, martial law wil

Gen. Loring's campaign in the Kanawha Valley. A correspondent of the Lynchburg Republican gives a well condensed and interesting account of General Loring's campaign in the Kanawha Valley. The army camped near Fayette Court-House, leaving a march of 14 miles the next day to bring them upon the enemy. The letter says: We started early next morning, and when in a few miles of Fayette Court-House divided into two columns and advanced upon the enemy--General Williams to advance upon tGeneral Loring's campaign in the Kanawha Valley. The army camped near Fayette Court-House, leaving a march of 14 miles the next day to bring them upon the enemy. The letter says: We started early next morning, and when in a few miles of Fayette Court-House divided into two columns and advanced upon the enemy--General Williams to advance upon the enemy's front, and Col. Wharton to march around through the woods, over a most precipitous mountain, (seven miles,) and attack him in the rear. The attack was made most desperately in front with artillery, (Otey's battery,) while Wharton was thundering in the rear with his infantry. The fight continued from 12 o'clock till dark put a stop to it, when all became quiet. Very soon, however, Wharton discovered that the enemy was taking advantage of the darkness to make his escape, and at midni

God bless that baby and its mother — the wife and child of a brave man and a patriot; and oh. Father, if they have Thy blessing, who on earth can add to their happiness and peace? Yours, A. B. C.

Our march was uninterrupted until near Fayette Court-House. There we encountered the enemy under General Lightburn, most powerfully entrenched. Our brave boys faced their cannons' months with veteran daring, fighting from about 2 o'clock until night closed upon us. Our less was light--12 killed and 40 wounded, principally of the 45th Virginia During the night the enemy attempt
