Tsr THE SOUTHWESTERN AsD AMERICAN LINEs.J

SAyASEAH, Oct. 4.-@The Republican of this
morning publishes special dispa eh telegraphed
from the seat Of Government. which says that a
gentleman had arrived from Baltimore In RicL-
mond, stating that the Northern papers contained
accounts Of d bloody battle which occurred in
Western Virginia. between the hostile armies. The
Fedeials, commanded by Gen. Rosencrantz, at
tackled Gen. Lees army at Big Springs, on satur-
day last, when a general engagement ensued,
which was continued the whole OF the following
day, Sunday, and resulted in the complete over
throw of the Federpls, who retreatad towards
Wheeling, burning villages. Gen. Rosencrantz
was reported mortally wounded. ~ -.

LAUNCHES BUILT In ALGGERs.-Messrs. John 0.
Mclean and John Mahoney have each just finished
the two built in Mobile, sof which we see quite
description travelling the rounds of the papers.
Those built here are forty feet long, twelve feet
beam and three and half feet deep, will carry
twenty-five men, Of whom twenty will be oarsmen
and will be armed with a 24-pound howitzer be
sides small arms to each man. When fully armed
and Manned these boats will draw only two and a
half feet OF water. They are built of superior
materials and those who know the builders will
hardly need to be told, in the very best manner
The reputation of Messrs. Mclean and Mahoney as
builders OF yachts, pilot boats, ETC., is known all
over our seaboard. These gentlemen can turn out,
between them, one such boat in every week. In
tended to thread the bayous track the coasts, and
seour the bays of our Gulf coast, they may be
able to do us more good than any more preten-
tious vessels which could be furnished us in onr
present besieged condition. -FAlgiers News Boy.

In addition to those enumerated by name above,
there are about fifteen other vessels fitting out at
Eastern and other ports
From the above statistics it will be seen that we

aggregate five hundred and ninety-fve guns Also,
the names of forty.four additions to the feet,
mounting two hundred and forty guns These ves-
of them will be at their posts by the first of Sep
tember so that on that date we should have nearly
eight hundred and fifty guns aloat. BY the middle
of October the new gunboats will begin to be ready
to be put in commission.
OF these there are twenty-three, each carrying
thirteen guns, so that by this feet we have an ad-
dition of two hundred and ninety nine guns. And
there are also eight frstclass gunb0ats, carrying
fourteen guns, which will be ready for sea by the

On Saudsy last tine picke,s Of the Pennsy lyania
18th, which regiment was stationed on Muddy
Branch, discovered a scow floating down the Poto-
mac, near ihe Virginia shore.
Private James McGee with Others procured a
skin, crossed the river, and intercepted The
iits downward passage. IL found nearly full Of
water, bu, contained 81 guns with fxei bayoneis
~ hayerfacks, ard three knapsacks.
From certain Indications il il believed that this
wac tho principal boat used in Transporting Gen.
Bakers command from Harrsons leland 20 the Yir-
ginia shore, ard which went down loaded with tie
deaf aul wounded Of the battle Of Balls Blua
The guns were the same used by the California
Res iment. Tho inference is that tho bodies OF Tho
unfortunate soldiers becoming lightened by internal
decnv rose 20 the surface and the boat thus released
from rs weight, aoated down with the current A
close watch il new kept upon the river to intercept
sny bodies which may be carried down by the cur

tended, in our article on Gen. Thomas's Re-

thai the President should abstain from action
on Gen. Fremonts case until after the latter
shall have been heard. We answer that we
do not assume to decide any such question for
the President of the United States. He is
Commander Chief of the Army and Navy,

lowing account of the attack OF Gen. Kelly on the

Rebel forces.
We learn from gentleman direct from RomDey
that tue fight took place Mill Creek, some four
or five miles from komney. The Rebels were soon
repGsed, and Gen Kelly after them at double
quick" The only stand the Rebels made was near
tho Indian Mound Cemetery aud in the town. Ihe
enemy tbrsw SHE'LL, but could do no damage. Ou
troors then made an entire rush at them with such
yociferous yels passing under their tire, that they
gave way. The Rebel infantry pow fled toward
Wincheste and the cavalry toward Springfield, but
were checked at the wire suspension bridge by de-
tachment OF UpiOn troops detailed from Cumber-
land They tore up the bhdseto prevent our troops
from crossing.
Gen. Kelly captured some 400 500 prisoners,
among whom ia Col. Il. NJ. Arnstroug, Lte mem
Lsr II the Richmond Convention, 200 hOroes,
three wagon loads Of new rifles, three cannon, q
large quantity OF corn, tents aud, in fact, every

man killed and five wounded. The hoes OF the
enemy il not known, but must have been consider
