The battle Of last Tuesday ut this place by far
the greatest and seyeTeit yet fought IN Western Vir
giuia. Ex.Secretafy of War Floyd commanded the
Rebels in person and received severe wound in the
arm during the engagement.
The Rebels had accurate advice OF our approach and
exact strength, as appeab from the papers found In
their camp and had made every preparation TO resist
an attack They had ak regiments, besde their In
re- shueas, with artillery swsspns all .nnroaeh
during the wno.s engaseidsit, lasting nearly four
bours we brought into action only five regiments, and
OF these but parts OF three were long ehsaseo oars
ana fred shelter from their cannona missile unknown
to civilized warfare. Experienced military men say
the roar Of csnnonadng and musketry Tor time was
The heaviest they ever heard, but the Rebels fired
mostly too high with their artillery Their squirrel
riae, did the most execution. Floyd should DO sur
rounded and his retreat to Lewinsburg cut oil. :,
An immense amount Of personal property was found
In the rebel camp, but only some fifty wagon loads
were thought worthy Of transportation, and 10 this
country the whole amount Is hardly worth sl0, OOo
Fears have been entertained that Floyd might make
rapid march TO Gauley Bridge, and concentrate with
Wise in an attack Cox but he is now in condition
for a fight anywhere. He hiss over 800 sick, and
strong detachment spent an hocr and twenty minutes
