fires from masked batteries, which opened in

made by the New York 69th,' 10th, and 18th,
VINO rushed upon one of the batteries, firing
as they proceeded with perfect eclat, and at

yell Of triumph seemed to carry ali before it.
The ZouaVes also d stingushed themselves

pears that our artillery created great havoc
among the rebels, of whom there are from

The Probabilities O Tie Uampaign In West
| ern Virginia.
"W. D. B." of the Cincinnati Commercial,
who has been with the army in Western
Virginia, makes these speeulatiOns regarding
the remainder of Gen. McClellans pro-
gramme:
The public viii be anxious TO know what
is likely to be the next step in Gen. McClel-
lan's programme. Il has been divulged.
Some, perhaps the majority, have surmised
that the column will push on rapidly Vid
Staunton to form junction with one OF the
division of the grand army, 10 take Richmond
in the rear. see nothing in the movements
70 indicate such operations. On the contrary
t is estimated in the Official quarters, that
stanton is not the point d dPPm at this
juneture, and ] am informed that as soon as
Gen. Cox efectuaily dispose of O. Jennings
Wise and father, Gen. Mcclellan will retui q
to Cincinnati. Supposing no further pro
gress into the heart of Virginia is contempla-
ted from this point, there remains absolutely
no work in this part of Virginia to he doIe,
excepting to spost the troops that the rebels
may be fenced in on the other side esthe noun
tsins. The Campaign is literally fnisi ed.
H No rebels, not even a nucleus for a organic
zation, remains this side Of the great Noun
tains, and there is no organized body within
many miles Of the other side of the pass.
Gen. Mcclellan carried his reconnaissance
from Huttonsville to point full fifteen miles
the other side Of the pass, and was satisfied
that the enemy had continued to fee while
no man pursued.
While on the other side of the pass by-be
by, Gen. Mcclellan received reliable inform :
tion that Col. Scott-who had fed from
Beverly with a detachment of Col. Pegram's
command, upon the approach Of McOOok' 6
vanguard-was met by GoU fletcher, at the
head of regiment Of Eastern Yirgiuians
approaching, 70 reinforce Garnett, but that
upon hearing Of the disasters which had be-
fallen the gallant Pegram and Garnett, the
doughty Governor turned tail with true Vir-
ginia instinct and fed from the approach OF
/ danger He was then within 90 or 40 milas
