Col. Piatt left his camp on Saturday morning,
with the remainder of the regiment, leaving
two companies at Charleston to aid in the pro.
lection Of the place and the Federal Court,
now in session there. He went down the river
and found, upon arriving at Red House,

If the reports at the Red House Saturday
evening are to be relied upon. concerning the
rebels' position and force, they will find them
haps, by the politeness and ability of the
Colonel to pass them, they may get ride
upon the steamer Izetta, which they fired into.
The thirty fourth regiment (frst Zouaves)
have been actively engaged since they came TO
the Kanawha Valley. Since the glorious vic.
tory they won near Chapmansville, where the
rebel commander, Colonel Davis, was mortally
wounded the Union sentiment has advanced
on the Cole river. Two companies have been
organized and are ready to 60 to work to de-
fend their own homes and give the organized
regiments on opportunity to advance into the
heart of the enemy's country.
The Izetta, after her repairs at Gallipols,
went up the river last night with her men and
cargo unharmed. She will be received with
unbounded joy.
From an order Issued yesterday, we learn
that no Government boats are to 60 up the
river hereafter without competent guard.
