R&coIoxEb J.Y Guthrie AND THE
"sSAkERs."-Yesterday afternoon Captain
Baggs brought over his Snake Hunters
from Camp Garlic and put them through
some of their peculiar evolutions. in honor
of Col. Guthrie, who has been stopping at
the MLure House for a day or two. The
Colonel made the boys little speech, say
ing they had served with him in the Kan
awha country, and he had always found
them honest and efficient. Capt. Baggs
then said that certain unfriendIy persons
had circulated and told that the Indepeud-
ent Shakers were set of cut throats,
thieves and robbers The Captain himself
had never heard any person say so. There
has not been, he observed, as many fune-
rails as there would have been this year if
he had ever heard whimper of anything
of the kind. The Captain said he would
not be personally responsible for the pre-
mature decease of any one who would
publicly assert tina: his men had ever pluu-
dered anybody except in legitimate man
ner, and by instructions. Col. Guthrie, in
connection with this matter, bore testi-
mony to the truth of what Capt Baggs
said, as far as his experience with the
Snake Hunters was concerned. He had
never known them to show the white fea-
Their or steal.

Rebel Attack on Gen. Rosecrans.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-The Commercial has
advices from Gen. Rosecrnns' head quarters
up to Saturday evening. On Friday morn
ing at 8 o'clock the enemy opened FIRE, with
two guns, from points opposite Gauley
Ferry and Camp Tompkins. a noisy fire
of musketry was kept up.
The object was evidently 20 cut off sup
ply trains. They succeeded in sinking the
ferryboat on Gauley river and threw about
forty shells into the camp of the 18th Ohio.
Not one of our men were killed and only
about half a dozen wounded. a majority
of the shells thrown by the enemy did not
explode and their musketry was wild and
irregular.
The ferryboat which had been sunk by
| the enemy'S shot on Friday was raised that
night and communication across the river
restored.
There was no firing on Saturday on Ell
ther side. The position of forces on Sat-
urday evening was as follows:
The rebels in possession of the left or
west bank of New River, Gen. Schenck's
brigade u few miles above the junction of
Gauley and New River, on the east side Of
New River; Gen. Cox's brigade and Gen.
Rosecrans' headquarters, near the junction
of the rivers, and between them Gen. Ben
ham, below the junction, ON tue right bank
of the river.
Floyd's force is believed to be about
1000. 1t was believed in camp that
Schenck's and Benham's .brigades would
be thrown across the river above and be-
low Floyd, and catch him.
The loss of telegraphic communication
was occasioned by the alarm of the opera
tor, who, when the firing commenced, sent
hasty dispatch to Clarksburg announcing
battle. He then commenced to move his
Office up the Gauley. He was two or
three miles up the river when overtakenby
orders from Gen. Rosecrans to return, and
while returning the wagon was driven
over precipice and the apparatus de-
stroyed.
Floyd's demonstration was rather agree
able TO Rosecrans than otherwise.
Rosecrans was certain he could bag his
assailants.
Col. sedgwick, of the I'd Kentucky regi-
ment, is reported wounded in the knee by
the splinter of shell.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-The Common
Council of Philadelphia presented General
Mcclellan with II magnificent sword on
Friday.
Gen. Stone sent flag of truce to Gen.
Evans at Leesburg TO enquire into the dis
position of the prisoners taken at Balls
Bluff. Evans replied that they were con-
fined at Richmond, and he would commu-
nicate with the government relative to the
exchange of prisoners.
The news from Europe per the laststeam-
er, shows that the rebel emissarieS in Lon
don and Paris were very confident and
noisy in the belief that the necessities of
the manufacturing interests will lead to an
interference in the American contest, for
the purpose of breaking the blockade to
procure a supply of cotton. 1t is neve;-
thelesS evident their cause is losing ground
both with the people and the press. The
London Post, Palmerston's organ, has
strong article against any interference, and
exposing the fallacy of the notion that the
recognition of the rebel States would re.
open the cotton trade; that on the con-
t'ary, recognition would only increase
the rigor of the blockade, and any inter
ference would be an act of war.

now comfortably cared for in the neigh
boring city hall and other buildings in the
immediate vicinity. Most of the chamber
furniture was saved. The antiquated and
insufficient city fire apparatus prevented
the entire destruction of the hospital.

thirty of the patients were on Thursday
removed to Annapolis.
The President has recognized Camilla
Martin as Vice-Consul of Spain at San

struck her, with what effect is not known,
as the water being very high she was en-.
abled to run up Quantico creek, out of

2s5 pounds of pretty good cord wood in

NAY be explained away and Capt. Craig
may have reason for his failure to trans
fer his business to his successor, but there
IS no reason why secessionists should be
favored in preference to Union men, I'M
less it is because they are, as n general
taiag. known to be better thieves. The
Government at Washington should be adj
used of this thing Immediately. No man

"a mean enough to accept position under
the Government whose ruin he seeks does
not deserve the slightest consideration.
Tue Government should instantly annul
every single contract which its agents
have made with traitors. 1t owes it to its
friends to DO this promptly and to appoint
igents who will see that it never has oc-
casion to do it again.
