I A BATTLE IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
zs5 58assi OLARKsBURG, Va, IL.
A battle took place about 8 oclock Tues
day afternoon near Summerville. General
.R0secrans after making reconnaissance, found
Floyd's army 5000 strong with 16 field
pieces, entrenohed in powerful position on
top of mountain at Carricks Ferry, on the
west side Of Gaaley River. The rear and
extreme Of both fanks were inaccessible, and
the front was masked by heavy forests and
close iungles. fc
Col. Lytle's 10th Ohio Regiment of Ben
hams brigade, was in advance and drove
strong detachment of the enemy of the
camp this side of the position, the site OF
which was unknown. Shortly afterwards
his scouts, consisting Of four companies, sud
denly discovered themselves in the face of q
parapet battery, and long line of palisades
for naemen when the battle opened iercely.
The remainder of the 10th and 18th Ohio
were brought into action successively by
Gen. Benham, and the 18th afterwards by
Capt. Hartsuff, whose object was an armed
reconnaissance.
The enemy played upon our force terrif-
callyswith musketry, rifles, canister and
shell, cansing some casualties. Col. Lytle
led several companies of his Irish to charge
the battery, when he was brought down by
a shot in the leg.
Smiths 18th Ohio engaged the enemy on
the left, and Col. loves 18th Ohio directly
in front. Lowe fell dad at the head of his
regiment early in the hottest fire BY ball

The Western Virginia correspondent of ths
Cincinnati Gazette says:
OF course the country is full of the widest
stories about the movements and numbers Of
the rebel forces. have been gravely assured
that the whole rebel force, detachments of
which have been harrassing Cox, and which
drove Tyler from Cross Lanes, could not
number less than fifty thousand men. And
others insist that the armies of Wise and
Floyd, lying at HunteTsviIle and Lewisburq.
and now stretching forward to summersville,
cannot possibly amount to less than forty
thousand. Let me assure those who have
been so needlessly alarmed about Gen. Rosen-
Grams Perilous position, that the rebels have
neither fifty thousand nor forty thousand

scouts have trayersed and are traVersinO the

nrAllHA Aepudlatlons-A Record Of Infamy.
It is known to oxr readers through the
frequent mention which the telegraph makes
Of the fact that the London Times is almost
constantly urging English capitalists to
beware Of the new American loan, and giving
portentOus warning Of the certain " "repudia-
ton" which, according to its showing, will
be the course of the Federal Government
when the subscribers to that loan present
their claims for payment. That this course.
ugon the part Of the great English organ and
authority, is the frnit of interruptions and
bitter Jealousy of the growing power and
wealth of this country, there has been no
doubt in the minds of thinking men, but
few are aware Of the infamous extent to
which England herself has repuaiated lust
claims upon her. The n. Y. Tribune of
the 9Th publishes chapter of ssBrftish
Reputation" which should make the London
Times and every kindred sheet hang its
head in shame that its own country Is SO
guilty Of that which it falsely charges upon
tne United States Government. Our gov.
ernnsnt has never repudiated any portion of
i's debt nor failed to pay in good honest
coin all that it owed, while the history of
England is stained with dark and Infamous
frauds s win be Seen-by the following
faGs. sIaa
The present enormous public debt Of
England originated in the Government
borrowing fl,s2O,526 at per cent, for
which it pledged certain portions of the
public revenue. But through financial dif-
feulty the payment of the interest vas sus-
pended for q year and then indi6nitetv.
