The frankfort Commonwealth says of tbs
speech ofCol. Coohrane, concerning the slaves
Of rebels;
"The policy indicated by Ar. Cocbraue is
exactly right, and in aocordauce with the usa-
gcs Of civilized warfare. We hope to see it
adopted by the Government. IL should have
been nt first. Had it been, many lives of
loyal citizens would have been saved that were
lost through the wisby- wasby and anomalous
conduct OF the Government toward traitors in
arms. Since the commencement of this most
unatural war. it has besR safer to be rebel
than to be loyal TO the Government The exs
treme punishment of treason has thus far been
an 'osth of allegiance which rebel will taxa
with ss much sang froid as he would gin

"Why ehould not the slaves of traitors in

ment? The Democrat will not deny that
slaves are property, 90 clearly so as are mules.

Loeana, even to piracy upon the high seas.-
They poison wells, and when they can-ss
at duysndofts-they resort to assassination.
Ii is all stuff 70 talk about fighting such an
enemy on high points The Government has

With Indifferent success. II we meet a rattle

General Benham's brigade was then in hi.

Benham etsrted in pursuit, leaving behind rv-
eryshirg that would prevent the speed of his
troops. His brigade did some tall walking,
the men preferring to do without Tstious il
they could get fight.
Floyd anticipated this pursuit, and az once
ordered the destruction of everything that
would retard progress. The most of his wsg-
ons and tents were burned. The road was
strewn with broken mp-kettles, aud Iin- pans
cups, &'., which bad been perforated with
bsyonets and then tnrozn away. EUen some
OF his cannon 'OeTe diSmOunfed and left 6y the
road SIDE. His troops threw away knapsucks,
guus, aad other articles which encumbred

tolls were found 10 abundance on tho road
side.
The people along tho road stated that the
whole column seemed TO be intoxicsted, and
we're marching iu a confused mass, frequently
WsnsOniy destroying private property as they
passed along.
After marching about twenty Eve miles,

parrment, emptied the saddle of Col. Crog.
hans horss. Eight of the rebels were killed
and others wounded. No aid was Ient to the
cavalry; in fact, the attack oD them caused
the main body TO shove ahead more rapidly.
Want Of provisions compelled Gen. Ben
ham to give up the pursuit, after this Ekirmish.
After the troops we're rested, the brigade
marched back to Gaulsy.
Col. Croghan was found By our men mor.
tally wounded. The bes. esre vas taken of
him, bat be died 10 about four hours after he
was found II 10 said be expressed regret
that be had taken up arms against the Govern

brought back TO Gauley, where it awaits the
call of bis friends.
Some think that IL Gen. Rosecrans had been
more speedy in his movements, he might have
bagged Floyd. BE had, however, to contend
against high waters and a want Of foragiug
facilities. Floyd accomplished nothing BY
bis march into Western Virginia, except TO
completely demoral Ea his brigade.
