CINCINNATI, Nov. s.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.
This afternoon the Times has some
particulars of the late fight at Gauley
Bridge.
The engagement was not q general
battle, but rather warm skirmish, in
which the enemy were repulsed with
great loss.
The action commenced by the rebels,
who opened two batteries on our lines
near Gauley Bridge: but though the
firing continued all day, little or no
damage was done, not one man being
killed.
Late in the day our artillery was
brought to bear, and the rebel FIRE was
soon silenced. A train was fred upon
about the same time some miles up the
river, and three men wounded, but none
killed.
On Friday night Benham' s brigade
moved down the river to Gauley bridge,
and ferried across on fat boat which
the rebels had previously sunk. He
moved along the base of the hill upon
which the rebel batteries had been
planted, intending to 60 down as far as
Long Greek, three or four miles below,
whore there is gap in the mountains
and road leading to the rear of where

Dear Spirit: Some time has elapsed

l may happen to think of before closing
my letter.
The taking Of Romney, of course is the
most important transaction that has oc-
Cured in the .Old Dominion for some
weeks, which was accomplished last Sat-
nrday, by General Kelley, after q pretty
hot fight, lasting altogether nearly two
hours from the commencement to the close
of the action.
The enemy had splendid position,
good artillery. aud had they been sustain
ed by the right kind of men. { / mean fight
ing men, 1t would have been an exceed
ingly difficult matter for our forces to put
them to route But as usual they run,
and run with vengeance leaving their
cannon Zone of them loaded with canister, }
tents. baggage wagons, officers trunks,
clothing. and in fact almost everything
they had behind them.
1t is said that they entered Winchester
hatless and shoeless, in sublime confus;o OBJ.
There is some probability that an attempt
will be made to retake and hold this place,
owing to its Importance as strategetic
point. commanding avenues of approach
TO the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Whenever tbey come for that purpose they
will find warm reception awaiting them.
You are no doubt aware that this De
ipartment, aarper's Ferry and Gunner
land. was assigned to General Lander who
was wounded sometime since, and conse
qnently unable to assume his duties 10 the
Gsld. This accounts for Gen. KelIey's
being placed in command here, with the
power Of a Major General.
Tae diligence manifested by the General
is seldom excelled On the 24lh Zen
Scott telegraphed Gen. Kelley "to take
and hold Romney." He concentrated bis
forces, travelled over a hundred miles, and
took Romney before sundown on the 2s,h
A movement of this kind looks like doing
something.

particulars of the fight, but you will OBJ

one thing, however. and that is, that Ohio
didn't send her IF thousand soldiers in
