Lee's command.

--According to a letter received at this office — dated August 29th, at Valley Mountain — the camp of Gen. Lee was still at that place. The weather continued to be very bad and the roads horrible. A body of the enemy, reported 2,000 strong, was at Crouch's seventeen miles off — another at Huttonville, twenty-three miles off, a third at Beverly, (thirty-two miles,) and a fourth on Cheat Mountain. In all, they were about 10,000 strong. The weather and roads had prevented active operations up to that time.
