Defeat and Rout of the Thief Floyd in
Western Virginia.

The suhjoined telegraphic despatch from Gen.
Rosecrans, in command of the Union forces in
Western Virginia, TO Lieut.. Gen. Scott, announces
another brilliant victory by the national arms
over the force of the secessi onisls in Western
Virginia. The affair took place near Summer
vile, on Tuesday last, when, after an exhaustiug
march, Gen ROsecrans drove from their entrenoh-
ments and put to flight the army in command of
Thief Floyd, who left behind him most of his
military stores aud camp equipage. Unfortuna-
tely the national forces were prevented from
pursuing the fugitive army in consequence Of
the destruction of the bridge over Gauey river.
The command Of Thief Floyd consisted of five
thousand men, with sixteen field pieces They
were strongly entrenched upon the top of a high
mountain on the west side Of Gauley river their
rear and extreme Of both their TANKS being in
accessible, while their flank was masked by
heavy forests and dense jungle. The loss Of
Gen. Rosecrans was but trifling; the loss of the
seoessonsts is not known.

We yesterday marched seventeen and half

being seen at Il distance Of three hundred yards.
His force was five regiments, besides the one
driven in. He had probably sixteen pieces of
artillery.
At three O'Clock we began a strong reconnois-
sance, which proceeded to such length that we
were about to assault the position on the flank
aud in front, when, night coming on aud our
troops being completely exhausted, drew them
out of the woods aud posted them in order of
battle behind ridges Immediately in front Of
the enemy's position, where they rested on then

D Lord, the holy and the mighty God, of
power Infinite and rich in mercy we stretch forth

For the sake Of thy blessed Son, who ever liveth
to make ntercessiOn for us, hear US from Hea
ven thy dwelling place, and when thou nearest
answer and forgive.
In timcs past thou hast been our nations
guardian and protector. We have heard with
our ears, o God, our fathers have declared unto
us the noble works that thou didst in their days
and in the old time before them. The Lord ouI

it Is on all grain-growing farms, plenty of litter
will absorb all the liquid and keep the animals
