cperations OF Gen. wise,

Extracts from a private letter dated Septem-
Der 65h, eight niles below DOgwOod Gap, on
New river:
On the p, we marched from Dogwood Camp
with parts Of three pieces and two regiments,
leaving two guns and a garrison at Dogwood.
During the dsv, we occupied the "Hawk's
Nest" and toOk possession Of AilleT's Ferry.
The enemy was camped beyond Big Creek.
Having discovered one Of bis ramps unguarded,
Lieutenant Colonel Anderson was started
through the mountains to surprise them at
da7-bresk. About sunset, We pushed on 10
front till darkness o~vertook Us, and %unfoTtu-
nateIy a little too far. At the bridge, over
McGrom's Creek, a strong detachment ambus-
caded our advance, consis Ing of the Bsirns
Sharp Shooters, Capt. Somers, Third regiment
OF Wise's Legion. The general himself VAS
on the bridge, and called on his men to charge,
once dispeFsiEg ,he enemy. We had only three
W0unded-less than ! expected, as the enemy
fred from only forty PAGES. a tree near where
Gen. Wise stood was struck By several balls.
We camDed there, and next morning at day
break advanced on the enemy at Big Creek.
The object was to amuss hin till Anderson
should attack.
It appears by the sequel that Anderson
reached toe de ired point at d4ybreak, Tut
Q ANul0 AAAE LANAff Va N1E NALLEAAus CNENInE IL
moved-the enemy ia strong intrenchments,
ard much reinforced. Not hearing anything
Of Anderson, but finding the enemy on this
side Of his intrenchmen's, the company Of
Capt. Som7rs and two others Of the SO regi-
neRt we've ordered TO ascend the bill side
through the wood, This they did in gallant
style, with a cheer, driving more than double
| their number before them into their entrench-
ments, opposite to which they remain d, at a
few yards from the enemy, most Of the day
until recalled. On our right a howitzer was
/ advanced, which soon shelled the enemy ont Of
bis position, be answering Intellectually with a
TiAed cannon.
Hearing that Anderson was returning land
our only object having been to keep the enemy
in play tai he had an opportunity to attack,
about four in the afternoon we tell back, hav-
ing, with eight hundred men, offered battle to
the enemy, numbering 2600, and strongly in
trenehed. We occupied the Hawks Nest and
the turnpike in the rear. Yesterday we FORTH
fed the Hawks Nest, by which movement we
have secured MilieT's ferry, and thereby OPEN
ed communication With the country south Of
the New river. It is not unlikely that to-day
OF tomorrow the enemy will make a vigorous
effort 10 dlsposse5s us. Absvs since daybreak
prepared for battle, aHd expect it either to-day
or tomorrow. II tits sKirmish our loss was
three wounded at the hTjdge-thres wounded
the next day, one MORALLY. Al we know re-

persons Just from their camp that they had
lost thirteen killed by the fire OF artillery.

COLUMBUS, Ky, September IS.
EDrroRs APPEAL: A deep gloom has been
cast over our whole army here, occssioned BY
the sudden death, this evening, at six o'clock,
Of Capt. James Hamilton, OF the Southern
Guards. At noon be was apparently well,
having been during the early part of the day
assidaously engaged in conveying his battery
Of heavy held-artllery, in connection with the
4th regiment, to a point about seven miles
above this place, on the Missouri side, for the
purpose Of attacking a large body Of the
enemy recently landed there. While engaged
in this duty he was attacked either by sun
stroke or congestion Of the brain, caused, no
ldouDt, by over-excrtion, and By six o'clock this
evening was no more.
Capt HIniIton's loss ls A severe one, as be
was undoubtedly one OF toe hrst oficsrs Of bis
age in the whole Confederate army. de pos
sessed these exceiloGcies OF head and beaft,
combined with al enlarged knowledge Of mil
itarT matters, witch eminentIy fted him for
almost ,nv command. HIS experience, too, as
czptsfn Of a company on the 5loody fields OF
Mexico, where he won bob honor and fame,
rendered him still more serViceabls TO the South
10 Der hour e danger and trial.
When the tocEin Of wsr vas sounded from
Fort Sumter, Capt. Hamilton vas the first to
lead a compsny in the field from Memphis.
Placing himself at tie head Of the Southern
IGuards, a company compiling within It's ranks
none but the most noble and gallant spirits, he
rendered bis and bis company's Gervices TO the
South in whatever field she might seed them.
a regiment (15fth) was soon formed, organ
| lied and equipped, snd was stationed at Ran
| do'ph. Here Capt. HsmiIton's command waa
transferred to 'he artillery branch Of The ser
vice, where q eY bsve remained ever since.
evincing under his strict attention and care
that discipline aud skill which is the admiTa,
ton Of ali that have ever seen them.

EIng Of Trnco.

There was a good deal said yesterday about
the arrival OF a military gentleman under 4
Gag Of truce. aud an escort, supposed to be
from Gen. S Prices camp. He arrived at Bar
GUMS on Iuesday night, aud there remsined
pretty closely watched, until yesterday, when,
at Q proper hour, the report goes, be was ccn-
Quoted to Gen. BrsmOnt's headquarters. The
object of bis mission is, Of course, a secret, but
coajscture has been busy in finding it out, with
what certainty it Is hard to state. Il is said,
to have relation to Gen. Fremont's
proclamation If martial law-Gen Price desir-
iRg TO know TO what extent Gen. fremont pro-
poses to carry that psrt of it which declares
that the property OF all persons in the Ststs Of
Missouri, who shall take up arms against the
United States, shall be conhscsted, and their
slaves be declssed free men. Explanation So
to one other point, it is also surmised, is asked.
How this officer was received, or what reply,
If any, was made, ss may well be supposed, is
