From We.tern Virginia.

The Charleston Courier's Richmond cores
pondent, under date of the oath gives the fol
lowing: gsf
/ met with a gentleman yesterday who was
i'm Major Patterns command when they were
attacked, four hundred of them by two regi-
ments under black fag-no quarter given,
none asked. One of them was an Ohio regi-
ment, the other purporting to be Kentcuky
1t was said there was one Kentuckian in it,
the rest were Irish and Dutch. Our men
killed four hundred and fifty of them, and
took thirteen prisoners, with loss of five
killed and about twenty wounded. 1t took
place few weeks ago in Western Virginia,
about twelve miles from Chsrlestown. This
was simply mentioned in the papers as a
skirmish. There has been many brave deed
performed there by our troops which has
passed unheralded. Among the mountains
away from the telegraph wires or mail routes,
thinking not of sounding forth their achieve
ments, anxious only to rid the country of
her foes, they are suffering untold hardships.
A gentleman WHO served four years in
Mexico, says that until he served in Western
Virginia, be never knew what hardship was.
They are often short of water OF of provis-
ions, cut off in their scouting expedition,
from their friends, and climbing about among
the rugged mountain passes, travel some
times for days before they reach their camps,
and know not at what moment an enemy
may spring out upon them.

THE RECENT ARREST OF REBEL AGENTS
$4,000 IN GOLD AND STOCKs FOUND IN THEIR
TRUNKs-TH ARE SENT To Fort LAFAYETTE
The Rebel agents whose arrest was noticed
in the Herald of yesterday prove to be Mr.
John Garnett Guthrie of Petersburg, Va,
and Mr.. George Miles. of Richmond Va. The
former gentleman was taken at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, the latter at the Metropolitan.
They had in their trunks over $4,000 in
gold, bills, and stocks of the States of Vir-
GINA, Georgia, and Tennessee; also numerous
letters addressed to prominent men in the
South. The letters were forwarded by spe-
cial messenger to Washington. The meney,
&c, is in the hands of the authorities. The
prisoners were examined yesterday at the
police headquarters, aud, by direction of
Secretary Seward, were sent to Fort Lafay-
cite. 1t appears that some days age the
General Superintendent of Police received
Information from Washington that these two
gentlemen were in the city collecting money
Tor jeff. Davis, and two of the detective police
were detailed to hunt them up. This they
succeeded in doing just in time to prevent
their departure for the South. Some of the
money. it is said, was collected from mer-
chants in the city as balances due Southerners
tor cotton, tobacco, &c. The prisoners ex-
pressed decided dissatisfaction when inform
ed that the fort would be their future quar-
tiers, but were compelled 10 succumb TO the
fortunes of war.-N Y. Herald.
