Federal Forces 1900 Strong In an
Engagement with 5000 Rebels
Gens. II osecrnns, Cox, Floyd and
Wise in the Fight!

By the arrival of the steamer Fanny Ne.
BTnie, from the KaDawha, we learn that on
Monday last the Federal forces under
Generals Rosecrans and Cox, who had
united, numbering seventeen thousand, were
engaged in battle with fifteen thousand
rebels under Generals Floyd and Wise.
The main body Of the rebels were intrenched
at Lewisburg. They had. batteries planted
on the roads leading to the latter place, ten
miles from the city. The artillery fighting
began on Saturday last, and the rebels had
gradually fallen back from one position to
another until they reached Lewisburg.
Surgeon Seip, of the United States army,
from whom we derived our information, SAYS
that there is no doubt but Rosecrans aud
Cox have driven the rebels from Lewisburg,
and are in pursuit of them. The result Of
the battle, however, did not reach the boat
before leaving. DR.. S. brought down fifty
eight sick and disabled soldiers, and one
Lieutenant and eight privates belonging to
the Fiftieth Virginia Regiment Of the rebel
army. Their names are as follows: Lieuten-
ant E. p. Johnson; Privates, Thomas f.
Mitchell, Thos. Ferguson, VIM. A. Baker, G..
T. GenneT, Daniel Pellingston, Daniel Poah,
Louis Bliwes and W. F. Sells. The Lieuten-
ant and five privates belong to Graysou
County, two to Smith County, and one to
| Goochland County. Six were captured at
the forks Of Gauley and four at Cross Lanes
one of the latter, however, died before the
departure of the boat. They all belonged to
Floyds forces.
The body Of John Burns, of the First Ken
lucky Regiment, was also brought down
He died of typhoid fever, at Gauley. A
number Of Colonel Tylsr's men of the Seventh
Ohio Regiment are among those disabled

and ifty-two-all from Western Virginia.

LAW REPORT.
JUDGE sPExoERs DEATH-MEETrNG or TN
BAR

JUDGE sPENCERs DEATH-MEETtNG OF THE
BAR.
This morning the Hamilton County Bar
held a meeting at the Courthouse for the
purpose OF paying proper tribute Of respect
to the memory of Hon. Oliver M. Spencer,
late Judge Of the Superior Court.
6 Charles Fox, President--T. G. Mitchell,
Secretary.
=, Wm. Johnston, w. S. Scarborough, VIM.
M. CORY, 7. g. Mitchell and 7. G. Ware
were appointed Committee, who reported q
series of resolutions, in which the ability and
uprightness of the deceased as a Judge-his
enterprise as citizen, and the loss which
the country in its present condition, its future
surrounded by portentous clouds, must sus-
tain by the loss Of such a man, were referred
to. The resolutions were adopted.
Judge Woodruff alluded TO his acquain.
tarce with Judge Spencer, extendiuglback a
period of forty years, and never knew him
otherwise than as a gentleman. His range
of thought was not confined to the law, but
embraced almost every science. He had pc
culiar qualities of the heart rs well as the
head, and was generous almost to a fault.
Judge Johnston remarked that Judge
Spencer was natural born lawyer-his
mind, as il came from the hand of God, was
a judicial one and his education and strong
sense Of justice fitted him for his judicial
position.
Mr.. Wolf also made some appropriate
remarks.
Judge Hoadley remarked that he was ca
pable Of dealing with the largest subjects in
the largest wsy-with mind that led him
to treat law as science, and discuss legal
propositions upon great principles, at the
same time manifesting a minuteness extra
ordinary in his examination of cases.
Judge Storer referred to several incidents
10 the early career of the deceased, and his
labors while law student; also bore testi-
mony to his valuable services while on the
bench of the Superior Court.
The speaker made touching reference TO
the scene beside the death-bed of his de-
ceased friend-remarking that it was at this
scene he exhibited that depth of feeling and
character Of which his whole life was but the
title page.
W. M. Cory delivered very eloquent adj
dress, in which, after giving happy por-
traiture of the deceased, especially as a
man to whom the whole circuit Of the
law was made familiar, referred to the
| fact of his early demise, as matter deserv-
ing the inquiry of the profession with view
| of determining whether their professional
| habits were not too severe for physical en-.
durance. He thought the judicial force o
the State should be increased; and that in
one session day as much might be per-
formed as in two. He adverted also to the
fact of Judge Spencer's attaining no higher
| position than a local Judge, as indicative o
a want of judgment in the community in
| not getting the best men for the most con-
| spicuous positions; the extremities of the
| Republic would now oblige them to get the
| best men tor military purposes, and in their
| civil organizations they should do the same
thing. Meeting adjourned

LECTURE LAST N1GHT.-Mr. E. Y. Robbins
unfolded his plan for the preservation of the
country to an audience of twenty-one per-
sons, in Smith & Nixon's Hall, last night.
He traced the origin of the war to slavery,
which divided the two sections in sentiment,
causing the South to look upon their rights
in an entirely different manner from the
North. He proceeded to show that the sub
jugation of The South would be impossible;
therefore, the only method of restoring per-
petual peace under one government would
be to render their interests identical with
our own, which could only be done by re-
moving the bone of contention-slavery.
This, the speaker claimed, could be success
fully accomplished by expending what must
otherwise be the expenses of The war in pur-
chasing the slaves, and, if necessary, coloniz-
ing them in some portion of this continent.
In case they were unwilling to accede to
such a proposition, the Intervention of
England and France might be secured in its
favor. The speaker fortified his position by
numerous arguments and illustrations,
which, as so few were interested in hearing,
we presume they do not wish to read, and
will, therefore, omit any abstract
