The battle OF las, Tuesday, at thi, place,
was by Ear the greatest and severest yet
fought in Western Virginia. ES-Seoretary
of War, Floyd, comman led the rebels in
person, and received severe wound in the
arm, during the engagement.
! The rebels had accurate advice Of our
Approach and exact strength, as appears from
the papers found in their camp, and had
made every preparation TO resist an attack,
They had six regiments beside their en-.
luenchments, with artillery sweeping all
approach.
During the whole engagement, lasting
NEARLY four hours, we brought into action
only FIVE regiments, and of these but parts
i OF three were long engaged. The rebels
stationed expert tlnemen 20 puck on officers,
and fred speltet from their connon--a ms
.sile unknown 20 civilized warfare. Expeu
ieneed military men say the roar of cannon
aiding and musketry for time was the
heaviest they ever heard, but the rebel:
; fred mostly too high with their Artillery
Their squirrel rifles did the most execution
Floyd should be surround;d and his retrea
to Lewisburs cut OF.
An immense amount of Personal property
was found in the rebel camp, but only some
nifty wagon loads were thought worthy o
, trans spOttatiOn, and in this country the whole
| amount is hardly worth ten thousand dollars
Fears have been entertained that FloyC
might make rapid march to Gauley bridge
and concentrate with Wise in an attack OF

fight anywhere. He has over fve hundred
= sicS, and q strong detachment spent an hou
and twenty minutes carrying OF his kille'
e and wounded, after the fight, past the hous
where he had our prisoners confined.
