1t appears to me that all the news we get
from Rosecrans is quite muddy. | have
- roFuIIE bo
documents at hand, and from the accounts
of the late engagement | should infer that
each army will soon be in the rear of the
other How lsmentably ignorant we are Of
the geogra ply of our own country
am pleased to see that Lieut. Colonel
Owen, formerly of the 18th, is raising
regiment in Iudiaua Col Owen made a
host of friends here during his stay, and
would advise all who want to go soldier
ing under an educated military man, pro
found scholar and a perfect gentleman,
whose cool ness, tact and courage have been
tested in Western Virginia, to enlist in bis
regiment
The question of forming a new State OF
Western Virginia came up in the SHAPE Of
an election on the oath nit, and ahe result
seems TO me like farce. As far as heard
from, Putnam county gives 209 votes for
the new State, Cabell eco, Hardy 80, Har-
rison !, I48, and this big county of Ran
dolph, usually giving a vote of from 500 to
1000, q grand total of III votes. Where
on earth are the Union men of Western
Virginia I have, in my previous letters,
shown that they were not in the army
There is some impalpAble food for digestion
in the above figures.
