Western Virginia.

At our last advices, Gen. Floyd's main body was between Raleigh Court-House and Peck's Ferry, while the Yankees, having failed to entrap him, had given up the pursuit and fallen back to Cotton Hill. There is a prevailing opinion in the West that some prompt action is necessary on the part of the Government to prevent the enemy from advancing upon the Southwestern and Central Railroads. Our force in that quarter, according to the opinion of an intelligent writer, is altogether inadequate.
