PHILADELPHIA, august 5U.-lne Baltimore
American has reliable information regarding
General Rosecrans's division up to the after
noon of the 9th inst. General Resecrans
was not only alive and WELL but was quietly
t1ansacting his functions at his head. quar-
tiers. Various accounts are given OF the
forces of Generals Lee, Wise and Floyd, but
no accurate information seems to be pos
sessed outside of Rosecranss staff. Opin-
ions differ very much among military men
and others in Western Virginia as to the
probabilities of any thing like general en-
gagement between the respective armies in
that quarter. Confidence is reposed in the
ability of General Rosecrans to maintain
himself against any forces likely to be spared
to attack him. He has excellent aids aud
officers to support him, who have doubtless
helped him in providing an efficient army.
