FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA

The following extracts from private letter,
received in this city from Ceredo, will give
some notion of how the loyal people in that
part of Western Virginia feels the war:

or even to his fields, in safety. Many are
afraid to be out far enough from home to take
care of their crops, as secession spies or scouts

find union man alone, or boy large enough

You speak of camp and the excitement

MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL GENERALS
WISE AND LEE.-General Wise has recently
marched into the northwest, with legion ten
or twelve thousand strong. His head quart
ers, until lew days since, were at Charles,
town, Kanawha county, on the Great Kanaw-
ha river 1t is now understood that he has
advanced northward into jackson county,
and his progress will probably extend to Wood
county, Oh the Ohio, the home OF that notorl-
Gus traitor. Gen. John j. Jackson Gen.
Floyd's brigade is undoubtedly following in
Wise's track AT present these are the only
forces of any consequence in the northwest,
Gen. Garnett's column having been either
cut to pieces or compelled TO retreat from
Beverly, in Randolph, across the Alleghanes
into Pendeton and Highland. While the pub
lie attention was attracted to Winchester,
Manassas and the points on the Potomac and
Chesapeake, Gen. Scott was quietly pouring
troops into the northwest from beyond the
Ohio, aud so formidable has his force become,
that Gen. Garnett, with seven or eight thou
sand Vrginans, found himself unable 10 ar
rest its progress, Mcclellan, undoubtedly the
abest abolition officer in Virginia, is probably
now at the head of twenty five thousand men,
able to obtain reinforcements not only from
the Other side of the Ohio, but the "panhan-
die" section, where tories are more numerous
than blackberries. The northwest has been
our weak point, and Gen. Scott seems well
aware Of the fact.
Gen. Lee and his staff start to morrow
morning for northwestern Virginia 1t is be-
lieved that he is going TO take command of the
entire western division. He may probably
fix his headquarters at Staunton. McClellan's
Yankee tricks and night marches, bouncing
upon two or three hundred of our men like
wildcat out Of the woods, will be brought to

CAMP INFLUENCES.

The activity of the government ard the
elastic loyalty of the people have grertly re-
ieved the first overpowering sense of humli-
alton and defeat The Romans were often
defeated in battle, never in a war;" says the
historian. And this seeming reverse and disas-
ter will be used to our advantage in the more
careful preparation and severer culture Of our
arms.
There is, however, nearer foe, to which all
camps are somewhat exposed, some of them
fatally so, which ought to be first discour
aged. 1t stands in the way of all safe and
honorable renown, and in its degree contributed
to our late disaster. And since the battle,
while the troops have been returning dispirit-
ed, and in few instances broken and demor-
allied, to their old camps on the Potomac, the
rumors of excuses and disorder have been
multiplied, resulting, in at least one instance,
in a cruel and wanton murder, and in dishonor
to a regiment of brave and high-minded SOL
diers. The reports of drunkenness have also
been unpIeasantly frequent from the vicinity
of Fortress Monroe and from Gen. Patterson's
command, of which officers and privates share
about equally the dishonor.
In the discipline OF volunteers newly called
together, very much the greater part OF them
approaching the duties to which they are
called and the virtue of self control, but few
OF them unused to rules of any kind and
watchfnl OF opportunities to break over the
necessary discipline of the camp, perfection is
unexpected and impossible. But the neces-
sity of such discipline is none the less imper.
alive, il We expect to conquer by the superi.
GRITTY of merit as well as of arms. The sol
diers profession which has been, for more than
a generation, kind of holiday service, is
now the most serious and the most laudable
in which citizens can engage. The coarse
uniform, the Drowned features, the firm and
regular tread of the soldier, are indisputable
titles to respect, and find their way to the
heart of every true man and woman in the
land. 1t is their part to make themselves per-
sonally worthy of the affection which CRATE
full people cherish in their behalf

scouts are seen in the woods on the hills, from
the town. every day. We think it unsafe to
go to the farm to work, and fear we shall
lose our crops. Two good union men were
taken by the rebels little above here, yester-
day or day before, and carried off. l have
not learned their fate, but presume it will be
death to one at least, as he was deserter
from the rebel army and took the oath here
at our camp this week.
1t is unsafe for the children to pick the
berries even, as the rebels have sworn to kill
every man woman and child, so that they
will not leave single sprout for an "aboli.
ZIONIST" to grow from. More than half the
houses in town are empty, their occupants
having left for the free states, but l am deter
mined to stay until am forced to leave at the
point of the bayonet, go who will.
Several of the rebels who have not Joined
the secession army have found it best to flee,
and have left their homes and families. They
have heen active men in the rebellion and
will fare hard if they fall into the hands of
union men.

On several occasions the terrible bowie knife
