The Battle at Cross Lanes.
4 BLOODFAFFAIR.

GALLIpoLIs. August 28.-The battle at
Cross Lanes, near Summersville, on the
26th inst proved to be bloody affair. The
following are all the particulars we have
learned The It'll Ohio Regimen, Col.
Tyler. was surrounded while at breakfast.
and attacked on both TANKS and fronts
simultaneously. Our men Immediately
formed for battle and fought bravely,
while they saw but little chance of success,
sho enamy being too powerful
Col. Tyler sent forward to the baggage
train, which was coming up three miles
distant. and had it turned back towards
Gauley, which point it reached in safety.
Companies b, c and l suffered most Sc
verely. They particularly wens in the
b ttest of the fight. and stood up to it
hravely, and finally fought their way
through at fearful odds, making dreadful
slaughter in the enemy's ranks. The reb,
force consisted of 5000 infrntry, 400 cav
airy and 10 guns. The Federal fore,
scattered after they had cut their way
through, but soon formed again and fred,
but received no reply er pursuit from the
enemy. Our loss cannot be definitely as
csrtaiRed, though not over 200 are missing
out of the 900 engaged
The rebel loss is fearful. Lieut.. Col.
Creis hton captured the enemy's colors and
two prisoners. The following is list Of
sfacers known to be killed Capt. Dyar,

Cheering from Louisiana.
! From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. ;


We are gratifed to be able to present
to our readers cheering news from the
southwest. We are Informed by wealthy
and Influential citizen of that section,
sons. that Louisiana is still loyal Al
though our informant is somewhat enthu-
siastic in bis loyalty. yet we feel confident
that his statements may be relied upon
He says that almost all the old Wings of
Louisiana arc now Union men, not only
anxious for the suppression of the rebel
lion, but ready, wien the time arrives, to
cooperate with the Federal forces to that
end by armed assistance. These loyal
men are majority in the State, and are
in daily communication with each others
upon tie subject. Their ardent desire is
that tue Government shall send an army
to relieve them from the odious tyranny of
Secession under which they arc now liv-
ing. Texas Is also, they say, in similar
condition, and our loyal brothers in the
southwest are anxiously expecting succor
from the North. Among the leading I'm
ion men the idea is universal that if our
Government would only take enc impor-
tant southern port upon the Atlantic, and
force the free navigation of The Mississippi
by the occupation of New Orleans, then
the rebellion would be substantially quell-
ed-they desire only the presence of Free
mont. with a small army, to rally the I'm
ion men Of Louisiana around him. These
things are constantly canvas ed by our
Union friends among themselves. Unaid-
ed they are powerless. but thew call on US
for support and they should have 1t.

Of libel applies the same principle to improper

1t is not improbable that many disloJal per-
