hausted, | drew thcm out of the woods and

the camp, which he did at about Z O'Clock,
capturing few stand Of colors and cQnsid-
cradle quantity of arms, with Quarter-inasters
stores, messing and camp equippage The
enemy having destroyed the bridge across the
Gauley, which here washes through a deep
gorge, and our troops being still much IA

Our loss will probably amount tc 90 killed

not been asccrtained, but from reports It must
