Western Virginia.

The campaign in Western Virginia has been a
very seyerc one on all engaged in it; not so
nnch on account OF what our soldiers have had
to perform or to dare, as what they have had
to endure. The theatre Of operations has been
mainly il a country Of mountains and OF
clouds, of rugged forests md wretched ROADS
where supplies could not be obtained, and to
which it was difficult to tran sport them. Lei
the soldiers who have had to endure these
bardships be remembered with an espec'al
favor.
While we have deeply regretted the una
7oidable p-ivstioDs Of our men, it affords us a
grim satisfaction to find that the enemy have
suffered at least as much. The extracts in
our Yesterday and to days issue, will show
that the North western soldiers are Intensely
disguised with their service in our mountains
We wish they were a hundred times sicker
.han they are!
