From the Washington Star of last evening
take the following:
INTERESTING FROM WESTERN vIRGINIA-THE WHERE
ABoUTs OF RosECRANs, LEE, WISE, AND ANDER-
sON-wIsE NOT DEFEATED AND CAPTURED DY COL.
TYLER, AS REPORTED FROM CINCINNATI, &c.
Especial Correspondence Of the Star.)
Wheeling, August lO-Our latest information
from General Rosecrans' command is that he is iu
the immediate vicinity of Cheat Mountain pass
about Beverly and Huttonville-preparing to give
General Lee warm reception, II he attempts to
force his way over the Aleganies Lee has arriv-
ed whiting striking distance of the east side of the
pass, with such troops as he could gather from the
rOut of Garnett's dispersed army.
Anderson at Staunton on the 9th ultimo,
pushing on to Join Lee in front of the pass, and
Wises retreat Tor Lewisburg was doubtless to form
a iuoction with Lee at or about the same point.
We have story via Cincinnati, of the defeat and
capture of Wise by Col Tyler, st the head of four
regiments, in which confidence is placed here.
Nv belief is that by this time he is up with Lee.
We have every hope that General Rosecraps
will be able to manage all three-Lee, Wise, and
Anderson-as successfully as General Mcclellan
managed Pegram and Garnett. There is, however,
a deplorable want Of arms to equip properly the
large reinforcemens which Rosecrqns may obtain
at anv moment in Western Virginia, that he may
be able thus to render them serviceabe troops.
NorE.-Up to p NJ. to day information
dering the Cincinnati story Of Wse's defeat loss of
l,500 men and capture by Col. Tyler's command,
40 miles east of Gauley's BRIDGE had been received
by the Government here. Though, as 60 to
press, a reSpectdDle CltZen OF w eStern virginia,
now here, received a despatch announcing the
death of his brother in a recent battle with Wises
force. His brother serving in one of the col
umns of the Union army in Western Virginia, he
knows not which.
This despatch gives the Cincinnati story proba-
biity, far the mere fact of the ola
recent battle with Wise's command is concerned.
THE BLOCKADE.
The Navy Department have, st this moment,
sixty additional vessels under construction and
fitting out, to participate in the work of closing
the ports and guarding the coasts of Secessa Al
most daily some OF them quietly departing ior
their respective stations. Every avalianie shlp-
yard on the Atlantic coast, well as ell our navy
yards, are alive with busy work upon them In
sixty DAYS they will all probably be in commission
No government under the sun could get them ready
for sea faster than ours Is dolng.
NAVY YARD.
This morning another of the large 6-inch rifed
cannon was nted, and will probably be tested
as regards its range during the next week. These
cannon are now being manufactured quite rapidly.
Several now in the lathes and are assuming
their intended proportions with great despatch.
A huge 1l-inch-shel gun lies on the wharf re-
Gently arrived from New York lit is intended for
pivot-gun on board the Pensacola, the carriage
being already near its completion.
No arrivals at the Yard have occurred since
Saturday, the steamers connected with this
department engaged in carrying mails, &C., to the
Pawnee, off Alexandria, and Fort W ashington.
| Considerable activity in the lumber business is
manifest, several vessels having arrived and dis
charged heavy cargoes duriog the past week.
