Gen. Rosecranz is at Mountain jCave, a strong
position, "a miles beyond Ganley. He had ad :
vanced ten miles further, to Little Sewal but the
enemy were too well sntrenched and too strong at
Big Sewall FIVE miles further on, to be attacked.
Rosencrans fell back, an intimatien to the
enemy to come out and have fair fight. There
was no expectation Of an attempt by the enemy to
force his position.
The weather in the Ganley regions is terribly
bad. Rain falls almost necessarily.
Rosecranz's troops are we'll clothed, having
plenty Of overcoats and blankets.
The fight at Chapmansville was sharp and
bloody affair. Five OF Pratts Zouaves were killed.
The rebels lost IS killed.

Those which have been recently re constructed
are not finished so as to be occupied, and the
old ones are very leaky. Many men have to
sleep on vet e;raw, and soue have no blan-
kets. but have to lie down 10 their damp
clothes on wet etraw or no straw at all, on ct
boards and sleep as .hcy beat may. 1t is
tough living and will make much sickness.
1t is about impossible to procure dry straw.
The new barracks will soon be completed,

that men were taken from ct boards on which
