l HE CAMPAIGN IN WESTERN V1RGINIA-WHA1 OF T.-The Wheeling Intelligencer is of the op inion that the campaign in Western Virginia is virtually ended for this season. It says that " ii the army of Western Virginia is not largely re lntorced very shortly, it will have to content it. self for the remainder of the season with acting on the defensive" though that, in it's opinion twill not be an arduous service.'
 We would have been pleased had the Intelli gencer summed up the result of the campaign in Western Virginia. One thing we all know, thai it has been very expensive affair, costing moi less than sixty to a hundred millions of dollars augmented beyond what was proper by official delinquency, y,red-tapeism and the great difficulties of transportation, and procuring supplies for man and beast. To offset that we can say the campaign has been a very severe disciplinarian, and the troops that served in it may be consider ed as fit for any arduous service. They may be set down under the class "veterans' The campaign has also developed the fact, which was sneered at by the Confederates, that Western troops are a match any day for an equal number of their opponents in the field. Indeed, it is about the only place where we have demonstrat- ed the superiority of our troops to those of the enemy.
 One of the reasons for sending an army into Western Virginia was to develope and encour
 
 port the new Government of Perpont. The first, all will admit was a grand failure. Except
 in particular localities on the Ohio River, there are no fighting Union men in Western Virginia That is the universal testimony of our troops.- We are indeed told that there are seven regi- ments of Western Virginia Union men in the army. This is laughed at by those who are in the service in that quarter. There is one Vir- ginia regiment made out of 6ona:1flle inhabitants ofthat section The others that go by the name are recruits drawn from Pennsylvania aud Ohio.- So far, therefore, as this reason for the campaign in Western Virginia is concerned, it may be put down as having proved failure of expectations
 Another reason, as wo understood, was to act in concert with our army on the Potomac, and by both divisions moving, the one in Q south easterly direction from the West, and the other in a southerly and southwesterly direction from Washington, to crush out between them all dis unionism in the State. It will be conceded that both, so far, have failed. The Army of the Po- tonlac is not so far advanced as it was months ago while that of Western Virginia will have to fall back to where it started from, to con- mence the campaign anew in the spring.
 So far as the great objects of the campaign in Western Virginia are concerned, it seems to us to have been barren of beneficial results that is it has failed to accomplish what was expected of it. If it has diverted enough Confederate troops from the Potomac to have saved Washington it has done that much good. Beyond that be- sides discplining and hardening our troops, and afording them opportunities to show thelr valor and endurance, we do not see that the results o the campaign have been very satisfactory Cincinnati Eng.
