ENoffednoEuence OF tHlI EAilAueipllA Ef4ts.l
WAaaISsF OK, Tuesday, oet %.
The contest yesterday, in which the gallant
Baker fell, was not premeditated by either
army-certainly NOS by ours. It was brought
about in this way; The scouts of the enemy
were discovered by the l3lh Massachusetts,
troops, who wei,e at their breastworks on
Hamilton Island. Five companies of these
troors on the itiland were ordered TO advance
and repulse the enemy, duty which they
performed and returned to quarters. The
enemy soon reappeared in concealed NUM-
bers. and made an attack upon our men. Re
Inducements from the Massachusetts Fif-
teenth, with some cavalry under command OF
Van Allen, were sent to their aid, Gen. Stone
In the meantime passing his men over with
all possible dispatch at Hamilton Island and
at Edwards Ferry. The enemy appeared in
strong force Of 5000, under command OF a
| Gen. Evans, with artillery. The contest at
this point was severe. Col Baker reinforced
our army by taking the right with his regi-
ment, be in person leading bis men on. He
fought upwards of an hour, with disastrous
effect upon the enemy. Urging them on, he
several times waved his hat, and advanced
until be gas cut down and carried dead from
the field. Gen. Stone Immediately took COM
mand of the right; but the death of Colonel
Baker caused a disorganization of the right
wing of the army, from which Gen. Stone
was unable to recover, and ordered retreat
bringing off his dead and wounded. General
Stone had about 10, 900 in his command, but
a portion only of them were enabled to cross
the river in time to afford aid to those engaged
in the conflict.
Gen. Banks division had orders early in
the evening to advance towards Edwards
Ferry and Hamilton Island, and his division,
I3 600 strong, is now in Virginia, with Gen.
stones division, aud in command OF the uni
tad forces of Generals Banks and Stone. The
New York Tammany Regiment, Col, Cogs-
well. was In the engagement, and the Colonel
is among the killed, or is a prisoner. Lieut.
Col. Ward, of the Fifteenth Massachusetts,, il
wounded. Our killed and wounded Is re-
ported to number one hundred and seventy
, 1--WE: that Of the enemy is not stated, but Is
believed 10 be much greater.
Our troops held posses ion of the ferry and
= the island d lring the night, with occasiona
shots from the enemy reaching them without
[ injury. The firing ceased finally, and oul
men employed themselves in throwing ~
breastworks near the river, while the balanc'
! of Gen. stones division was crossing. They
! were all over before day, and we're immedt
ately followed by Banks division. The enc
/ my. as near as can be aseertained, are nov
. IO,olO strong in fr,nt Of Banks, and intima
t tons have been received BY Gen. Banks tha
reinforcements are coming forward. Bank

Some Of the secession sympathising papers
have been guilty of a very shallow trick
Nh. Stowe recently wrote a long letter to
tbe EsEl Of SALISBURY, in which she ably
defended the policy of our Government in
the present crisis. Alluding 70 the policy of
tbs Garrisonian AbOlitionists, she quoted the
following passage from speech BY Wendell
Phillips:
have advocated Disuniou for fifteen years
bscanse I thought it practical method Of
freeing the North from the guilt OF Slavery,
and Of planting at the South the seeds Of
easly and entire emancipation, Wringing
justice from a weak and bankrupt South.
8 This passage some Northern friend Of JeR.
Davis has extracted from the letter, aud
passed it of as the utterance of Mrs Stowe
s Sc far from approving its sentiments, the la
dyearnestly expresses an attachment to the
UniOa, and opposition to Phillips, Garrison
& Co.

Latest Intelligence from the Kanawha'
The steamers Glenwood and Freestone,
from the KanaWhs Valley, arrived at our
wharf.-the former yesterday morning and
the latter last evening. The Glenwood
brought down nine prisoners, in charge of
Sergeant major King and q detachment Of
soldiers from the Seventh Ohio Regiment
The prisoners we're sent directly to Columbus.
TIE Freestone brought Major Joseph W..
Burke of the Tenth Ohio, who is quite i'll of
fever, and Lieutenant Ross, Quartermaster
Roosa and Adjutant Pauley. The 10th has
not now a single field officer on duty.
From those officers we have obtained the
particulars of skirmish which took place in
the neighborhood of Hawks Nest on New
RIVER. seven miles above Gauley Bridge, on
the afternoon of Monday last. About three
o'clock on that day our pickets were fired
mon across that river, but without damage.
Parts of the 9th and 28th regiments, under
command of Col. MeCook, Immediately re-
paired to the spot, which was at Miller's Fer
~, when suddenly a rebel cavalry company
and between two hundred and THREE hundred
militia appeared from among the woods, and
skirmishing commenced. A desultory firing
was kept up across the river for four or five
hours. with no other loss upon our side than
one killed aud two wounded, belonging to
the 2sth regiment, Two mountain howiizers
were brought to play upon the rebels, who
managed to dodge the musket fire behind the
trees. but some shot and shell from the how
itzers dislodged them, and they fell back,
dragging Ave or six killed or wounded with
them.
The next day, however, they re-appeared in
stronger force, but they Rugged the woods
and fred from behind trees. Col. McCook
ordered rifled six-pounder to DO brought to
bear, and few rounds, well directed, shiver-
ed huge splinters from the trees, and these
flying in gil directions made it too dangerous
for them to remain, and they had entirely
disappeared when the Freestone left.-CiH.

will mention, in conclusion, that am
still of opinion that Smith Strait can be
navigsted with steam. Under sails alone I
am ssti Ged that 1t cannot. Il is my hope to
be able to renew the attempt with a small
steamer. With this view have left some
