GEN. WIsEs VIcToRY.--We have been permitted,
says the Richmond Wing of the 18th inst, to make
the following summary of the recent brilliant action
in Western Virginia, from letter Of an officer in
Wise's Legion, received in this city yesterday.
The battle took place the afternoon Of the 18th,
near the mouth of Coal river, on the Kanawha.
The enemy's forces were twelve hundred strong,
and were led by Col. Norton, the commander of
the Federal expedition sent against Wise. Our
own strength did not exceed nine hundred and fifty,
of which not more than four hundred were at any
time actually engaged, under command of Capt.
George s. Patton, formerly Of Richmond. The
attack was made by the enemy, most unexpectedly
to our men, who had been informed and correctly
informed, by scout, that the Federalists were on
the other side of the Kanawha river, the latter
having rapidly crossed in steamboats, lower down
the stream without the knowledge of Capt. Patton.
The battle lasted four hours and proved most dis
astrous to the enemy. At one time our men were
thrown into some disorder, but their brave leader
quickly rallied them again, and, with two hundred
followers, made dashing charge upon the OPP
posing column, in which he fell, smarty wounded.
The confusion naturally created by his fall under
the calling fire Of the Federal artillery, was but
momentary. The command was at once assumed
IAuue1suu, HINT VI Gdllel
this officer, who was posted on an adjoining hill
with reserve rushed forward to assume the com
mand, but before he could reach the spot another
reserve, on the enemy flank, had put them COM
pletely to rout Woundipg and taking prisoner the
Colonel-in-ehief The disparity of arms was even
greater than that OF numbers. The enemy had
several heavy riied cannon; our forces had but
two small smooth-bore pieces. The following Off
GERS were taken prisoners, and will probably be
sent to Richmond: Col. Norton, Commander-in-
chiefsof the expedition; Col. Villiers Col Wood
ruff, Lieut.. Col. Neff, Captains Hard and Austin,
and Lieut. Brown The battle was fought on our
side entirely BY Virginia troops. Two hundred and
thirty Of the enemy were killed. Our loss was but
thres killed and q few, very few wounded, among
whom was Capt. Patton, who was in fine spirits,
laughing and talking with Col. Norton, who was
wounded and prisoner in the same ROOM
Tue reut was so complete that it is not likely
that the enemy will show themselves again towards
Charlestown.
