Another Account of the Battle:

Beverly, July 13.--Yesterday morning
Gen. Mcclellan ordered four regments-the
Sth 10th and 18th Indiana and 9th Ohio
Rcgiments-to proceed along the line OF the
hills southeast Of the enemy's entrenchetl
camp on the Beverly road, where it crosses
Rich Mountain, two miles east of the enemy 5
position, with orders to advance along the
| Beverly road and attack tho east side OF the
work, Gen. Mcclellan being prepared to
assault the west side ms soon rs the firing
shord announce the commencement OF the
attack.
The capture Of courier who mistook the
road through the enemy's camp for the route
of our troops, placed the enemy in possession
of intelligence of the movement, and Gen
Rosencran,z reached the Beverly road at 2
clock after an exhausting march over the
mountains. lie found the enemy posted on
the opposite side of the road eight hundred
strong. with his position partially fortified.
An engagement took place, which con-
tinued three quarters Of an hour, when the
rebels were totally routed, with loss of three
hundred in killed, wounded and prisoners
including ten officers and both their cannon
About rs led and the same lumber wound
ed remain on the hands OF the Federal Off
GERS.

ty were greatly exposed to the fire Of the reb-
els, who occupied the opposite hill, and pour
ed in a fire of musketry, shot and shell upon
them. Rosencrautzs column remained AT
the place of the engagement during the
night. Meanwhile Gen. Mcclellan was in
position with his force during the afternoon,
ready to make an assault, but heard nothing
from the other column, except distant firing
early in the morning.
He was about proceeding to plant cannon
upon an emnence commanding portion OF
the rebel camp, and preparing to attack the
whole nest in front, when it was ascertaned
that the enemy had evacuated his position
during the night, moving towards Laurel
Hill. leaving only few men in charge of the
sick, cannon, camp equipage, and transport
tation.
A rapid march was then male by Gener-
al Mcclellan to Beverly, passing Gen. Ro-
sencrantz's command on the road, which fol-
lowed quickly. At Beverly it was ascer-
tanned late that day that the rebel forces at
Laurel Hill had retreated, running towards
Romney. Our total loss 10 not more than
eleven killed and thirty-fve wounded.

The Canal.

The Canal Company is now making great
efforts to restore navigation on the Chesa'
peake and Ohio Canal, which has been sus-
pended for long time, and had it not been
for an unforseen and unex pected piece of van-
daism, the necessary repairs would have been
completed by this time, and that important
work once moro in boating order along its
entire line. This desirable end will be post
poned for week or ten days longer. on nc
count OF tho blowing up Of Culvert last
week, near the tunnel, by the Virginia rebels.
All other damages to the Canal have been
repaired.
We understand the President Of the Canal
has made an arrangement with Gen. Scott,
by which it is to be protected along its Gu
tire line by competent military force The
loyal men along the line are to be furnished
tho means to aid in the defence.
The Offices Of Paymaster, General Super
inteudent, and Chief Engineer have been
abolished at saving in the way Of salaries
of an aggregate OF SIS, 10000. The duties of
these abolished offices will hereafter be per-
formed by the President without any increase
Of salary. These reforms and retrcnchmentS
will be followed by others in short time
All Offices and salaries that can be dispensed
with, without detriment to the Canal, will be

We are advised that Col Spates the Pres

when we say that he has acted with the
greatest energy, perseverance and efficiency
since his accession to his present responsible
