Western Virginia Troops.

The Wheeling Intelligence gives the
following account Of the condition and po-
sition of the army of Gen. Rosecrans:
We learn Of DR.. GrisWold, United States
Sanitary Inspector, who has just returned
from a tour Of inspection up the hanawha,
that our army under Gen. Rcsecrans is at
prezent in . state Of rest, and m~casureably
recovered from the terrible exposure at
Sewell Mountain to the severe rains and
cold that fell upon them with fearful ef-
feet. He reports them generally well
clothed few exceptions only in over
coats, blankets and winter blouses. The
subsistence is generally reported good, SO
far as the Government can supply.
Gen. Rosecrans and his staff, Gen. Cox,
Gen. Benham, and Gen. Schenck, all alike
live in tents and fare the same as the pri-
Yates, with the exception, perhaps, that
they are enabled to employ cooks at their
own cost. His headquarters are two miles
from Gauley Bridge, On the headwaters of
the Kanawha, on New Creek. Colonel
McCook, with three regiments, occupies a
post about four miles further up; then
comes Gen. Benham's brigade, about two
miles distant, while Gen. Schenck's brig
ade occupies the farthest outpost, or ten
miles up New Greek from Gauley. Gen.
Cox makes his headquarters in the same
camp with Gen. Rosccrans.
There is much sickness, but it is the IN
avoidable consequence Of the ~exhausting
service the troops have endured. The eli
nate is sickly, especially for those not ha-
bitaated to it, and compelled to live in
CAMPS. Rains are frequent and severe,
nights cold, compared with the tempera-
tuIe CT mid day. Comfortable hospitals
are seldom to be had, and such delicaciea
as the sick need, rarely to be obtained.

Telegraph Dispatches to the Cleveland Press.l
MAYsYILLB, KY, Nov. f.
A gentleman of this city. from Gauley
Bridge on Saturday evening, reports that
Floyd had cut around the hill where Rose.
Grams Was encamped, and was Smelling his
camp Rosecrans WAS returning the fire,
and had silenced two batteries. He has
also sent a detachment up the new road to
attack him in the rear. He had Floyd CON-
pletely surrounded. No tederals had been
killed when the gentleman left.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 4.
The Commercial has advices from Gen.
eral Rosccrans' headquarters up to Satur-
day evening.
On Friday morning at s o'clock the enc
my opened fire with two guns, from points
opposite the Gzuley ferry and Camp fomp-
kins, and a noisy fire of muske.cry. The
object was evidently to cut off the supply
trains. they succeeded in sinking the
ferry boat on the Gauley, and threw about
forty shells into the camp of the 18th Ohio.
But one of our men we're killed, and only
about half a dozen wounded. The major
ity of the shells thrown by the enemy did
not explode, and their musketery was wild
and irregular.
The ferry boat which had been sunk by
the enemy's shot on Friday, was raised
that night, and communication restored.
There was no firing on Saturday on
either side. The position of the forces Sat-
urday evening was as follows:
The rebels are in possession Of the left
or west bank Of New river. Gen. Schenck's
Brigade was 4 few miles above the junction
of Gauley and New river, on the east side
of New river.
Gen. Cox's Brigade and Gen. Rosecrans'
headquarters are near the junction of the
rivers. and between them Gen. Beuham,
below the junction, on the right bank of
the river. Floyd S force is believed to be
about 1000 men.
1t was believed in camp hat Schenck's
and Benham's Brigades would be thrown
across the river above and below Floyd,
and catch him.
The loss of telegraphic communication
was Occasioned by the alarm of the opera
tor, who, when the firing opened, sent a
hasty dispatch to Clarksburgh announcing
= battle, and then commenced to move his
office up the Gauley river. He was two
miles up the river when he was oVertaken
by orders from Gen. Rosecrans to return,
and while returning, his wagon was driven
over a precipice, and the apparatus des-
troyed.
Floyd's demonstration was rather agree
able to Rosecrans' army than otherwise
Rosecrans was certain he could hold his
own, and expected to bag his assailants.
Col. Sedgwick, of the I'd Kentucky, was
reported to have been wounded in the knee
b. a splinter of she'll.
La ERA dispatch to the Cleveland
Leader of last evening. says that the rebels
were repulsed with loss, and that the Fed
eral troops were in hot pursuit

a Secession Letter.

". H. Hescock, of Company H, 9TH
Regiment. writes US from Camp Warren,
Charleston, Va, enclosing a letter from a
rebel lover in the secession army, to his
lady love, in Charleston, from which we
make sOme extracts. He seems to have a
wholesome appreciation Of the Ohio boys
of the 9TH Regiment. and judging from the
numerous cautions which he gives the lady
to t. k care of his gifts, We fancy he is of
rather an economical turn of nind. and
does not intend to have his love prove too
expensive. He has invented a new style
of letter writing by writing his own name
at the commencement of his epistle, and
that of his lady love at the end. He says:

The Fremont Purchase Of Arms.

The charge of Adjutant General Thomas
about Gen. FreGont's purchase of arms in
Europe. is disposed of by a writer to the
New York Tribune, who states from posi-
tive knowledge. that the purchase was

with shot and shell, and 2 ,0O0,0 900 percus-
sion caps and that the rifles were so high

an order to Nr. Adams and Mr.. Dayton
to buy 10000 more of the same kind as
those bought by Gen. Fremont Also, that
Mr.. Schuyler, the special agent afterward
sent out by the Government to buy arms,
offered to buy 100000 rifles of the same
pattern, and did buy all he could. Also,
that Gen. Fremont paid SIC for the rifles,
and wanted to buy 100000 more, and
could have bought them at the same price,
bat was not permitted by the Government;
and thus they have since been sold by other
parties to the Government at S27 each.
The arms which Gen. Fremont did buy,
amounted to but $4,000 or $4,000; and
