The Battle of the Kanawha.

According to an account transmitted by the
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, the
fight last week near Barbouryille, in the Ka-
nawha valley, between 600 Of the rebels and 800
OF the % Kentucky Regiment, afforded Que Of
the most remarkable exhibitions OF iudonitable
bravery on the part of our Union soldiers that
has been gveu during the war. When attack
ed, the rebels were posted about pistol shot
beyonrd bridge crossing the Guyandotte rv-
er from the father section Of which they had re-
moved the planks. The Kentuckians charged
through the bridge ia covered one) not dscov-
erng the removal of the panks until the head
Of their column had almost plunged into the
opening. The halt was with such suddeness as
to throw their ranks into confusion. Then, says
the correspondent:
The rebels, encouraged by our delay at
the fearful impCdiment, broke into wild
shouts and cheers. Fired by their assur-
auce of victory, our boys could be restrained
no longer, they answered with terrific yell,
some ran to the pathhoIes of the bridge,
and discharged their muskets at the foe, and
| Company A, made q dash in single file
across the bare stringers and rafters Of the
bridge, followed by Company d Woodward
| Guards and the remaining companies. As
they emerged from the bridge, the rebels
| dauked, aud changed front from the mouth
Of the bridge, to the road which encircled
the base of the hill, and sent another bitter
yOlley at our men, which luckily was aimed
to high, and did but little havoc. Our men
| by this time, had all cleared the bridge, in
total disorder, but blazing with excitement
yelling and !eapinS ahead. They turned
suddenly up the side of the hill at charge
bayonets, and Utterly dragging themselves
! up by bushes aud jutting turf, they cleared
It in few moments, rushing at the enemy,
who had, as they commenced their ascent
| Gred again with effect. 1t was their last
yolIey. As the glistening baoynets gained
the brow Of the hill and met their wayering
gaze, and those yells continued, which meant
victory, the enemy swayed for moment, a
leap was meade from their rear and flank
and then the whole body scattered like
sparks from a pin wheel, down the rear o
the hill, streaming in every direction in the
IleIds below. Our men were too breathIess
for pursuit, but they cheered as men who
have conquered only eau cheer, and planted
Immediately the stars and stripes on the

the whole people of all eolors are neither slaves
nor masters, while in the Northern q large ma
jority are neither hirers nor hired. Men with
their families, wives, sons and daughters. work
for themselves on their farms, in their houses,
and in their shops, taking the whole product to
themselves, and asking no favors of capital on
the one hand, nor of hired luborers or slaves oil
the other. tits not forgotten that u considerable
number Of persons mingle their own labor with
their capital--that is, they labor with their own
hands, and also buy or hire others to labor for
them but this is only mixed and not dis
liuct class. No principle stated is disturbed by
the existence Of this mixed class.
Again, rs has already been said, there is not
of necessity any such thing as the free hired
laborer being fixed to that condition for life
Many independent men, every where in these
States, q few years bsck in their lives, were
hired laborers The prudent, penniless begin
ner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves
a surplus with which to buy tools or land for
himself, then labors on his own account another
while, and at length hires another new beginner
to help him. This is the just and generous and
prosperous system which opens the way to all,
gives hope to ali, aud consequently energy and
progress and improvement Of condition to all.

possess, and which, ii surrendered, will surely
be used to close the door OF advancement against
such RS they, and to fix new disabilities and
burdens upon them till all Of liberty shall he
lost.
From the first taking of our national census to
the last is seventy years, and we find our popula
ton at the end of that nerod eight times as great
as it was in the beginning, The increase of
those other things which men deem desirable
has been greater. We thus have at one view
what the popular principle applied to government
through the machinery of the States and the
Union has produced in given time, and also
what, if firmly maintained, it becomes for the
future. There are already among those who, il
The Union be preserved, will live to see it con-
ain two hundred aud fifty millions. The strug-
gle of TO day is not altogether for to-day, il is
'oi vast future also.. With reliance on Pro-
'idence all the more firm and earnest, let us
