. I have not been able to obtain a correct list of captured articles, as the invoice has not yet been made out. It is enough to say that it is a complete victory. The enemy lost eight or ten killed, and about twelve or fifteen wounded. Our loss is as follows: Jesse Taylor, of Capt. Morris' Company, Seventh Virginia regiment, killed; Hiram Meily, Company K, Fourth Ohio regiment, wounded in both knees, slightly; James Sines, Company F, Fourth regiment, wounded in head and leg, slightly; W. Fox, Company F, Seventh Virginia regiment, slightly; W. Ferguson, Company F, Fourth O. V., had his thumb blown off, and Isaac Merrideth, of same company, had his right hand blown off, both by a premature discharge of the cannon they were working. The column moving from Cumberland advanced as far as the Chain-bridge, this side of Springfield, when they were met by the enemy, who had removed the plank from the bridge, and commanded it with one piece of artillery.

o rejoice over. The Richmond Enquirer, of the 30th of October, says that a letter from Jackson's River to a gentleman in that city, written on Saturday evening, the 26th, says a report had reached that place to the effect that Gen. Floyd had attacked the Federal forces at the mouth of the Coal River, killing some five or six hundred of them, and taking a number of prisoners. Floyd is said to have lost three hundred in killed and wounded. The writer of the letter referred to does not vouch for the truth of the report, or any part of it, but says it was credited in the main at Jackson's River on Saturday. The same letter speaks of the passage of Loring's command through Lewisburgh on Wednesday, upon a forced march, to reinforce Gen. Jackson at Green briar River. This is said to have been in consequence of a despatch received by Gen. Lee from Gen. Jackson, giving an account of the movements of the enemy in the locality of the latter. --Louisville-Nashville Courier, Nov. 1.

igh grounds on the east bank of the river, which point commanded our approach for a distance of over a mile. At the east end of the bridge the enemy had also thrown up intrenchments, from which they kept up a constant fire of musketry upon the head of our column. The battle was now plainly begun — upon the chosen ground of the enemy — and gladly did our troops meet the issue. With our one twelve-pounder and two six-pounders, (all smooth-bores,) under the command of Capt. Wallace and Lieuts. Jenks and Nixon, we returned the enemy's fire with very marked effect, though their rifled gun and prior acquaintance with the ground gave them a great advantage, and for the period of half an hour or more our troops were exposed to a most terrific fire of shell and canister from their guns. It was from this fire that all of our loss — amounting to one killed, and ten severely, and about twenty slightly wounded — occurred; and it is a matter of astonishment to all that our loss was not vastl

cannot be definitely ascertained, though it is known to have been considerably larger than our own. A rebel account. A letter in the Richmond Enquirer, dated Winchester, Va., Oct. 27, gives the rebel account of the skirmish at Romney on the 26th. The writer says the fight was between four hundred Confederates, and a Federal force variously estimated at from three thousand to five thousand. He continues: Our little force was obliged to retreat before superior numbers. The fight comml be in possession of full details, it will be found that they have but little to rejoice over.

Our camp is called after the gallant commander of the Ringgold Cavalry, Captain Keys. On last Thursday our regiment, the Fourth Ohio, received orders from Gen. Kelley to pack up and move from Fort Pendleton to New Creek, and there join him with other forces in a march upon Romney. We left camp on Friday morning, under command of Col. John S.

e rebels are in full retreat on Winchester. This breaks the backbone of secession on the Upper Potomac. Our loss is trifling, considering the time engaged. My officers and men, without exception, behaved nobly. B. F. Kelley, Brigadier-General. Colonel Johns' report. Headquarters Second regiment, Potomac Home Brigade. Brigadier-General C. M. Thurston: General: In compliance with verbal orders received after consultation between Gen. Kelley and yourself on the night of the 20th instant, I concentrated seven hundred men of my regiment at the North Branch bridge, and on the following morning, at five o'clock, marched in the direction of Romney, passing through Frankfort. Upon arriving at a point one and a half miles from Springfield the rear of my column was fired upon by the enemy, from the heights of the wood, severely wounding two men, detaining the column about an hour, which was occupied in clearing the woods of the enemy, and dressing the wounds.

The cars have gone to Charlestown to bring some troops from that place to go also toward Romney. Of course our people regret that the enemy have for once stolen a march on our men, and given the invaders some cause to crow; but I predict that, when we shall be in possession of full details, it will be found that they have but little to rejoice over.
