LYECHBURG, Sept. 9-The latest reports
from Eandwha valley state that Gen. FIoyd's
position is a mile and a half beyond Gauley
river. The enemy is in full force under Gen
Cox at Gsuley bridge. On the other side of
the river Wise is strongly posted in the vicin
itV of GauleV road. Wise had occupied
"Hawk's nest" which was abandon ed By the
enemy. After skirmishes between the pickets
above the Kanawha and beyond its forks, the
enemy had been out1auked Dy Gen. Chapman,
who holds his position with two thousand mil
tia. The enemy under Cox is thus surround
I'd by these three several divisions, and all re-
trea cut of, unless Rosencranz should make a
junction with him, and thus cut off Fioyd's
command.
No new movements reported from the army
Of the Potomac.
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson has been as
signed the command Of the Department of the
West.
President Davis health has so much improy-
ed low that he is able to ride out.

Fifteen wagon loads OF provisions were re-
ceiFed by the rebels at the Gap today.
A Mississippi regiment was encamped at a
town forty-thrse miles from the Gap, being the
nearest point on he railroad, which was said
to be coming this wav; but learn to-day i,
mas been ordered to Virginia. There are now
fonr regiments In Knoxville awaiting orders.
There is a good deal of talk among the
rebels about invading Kentucky. They have
the will undoubtedly, but the eXpedieHcy OF
the move is not so clear to them. IL they
were only sure Of success, they would under
take it. This is the consideration that governs
their regard for Kentucky neutrality. ] live

VOLUNTEERING NoT so BRISK IN

GAa
The evidences are becoming palpable that
LincOlL's call for more men is not being re-
spOnded to with anything like the enthusiasm
be and his cabinet anticipated. The eyes Of
the people Of the North are being opening since
tue battle Of Manassas Plains, and they have
"nO heart for the work" They will not vol
unteer, and a draft is now talked Of. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
HOrld let's the secret out. In his letter Of the
Sd inst, be says:
1t is useless to disguis. the fact, that there
is strong pTessures upon the President and
cabinet by men high in military staten TO re-
sort Immediately to drafting, to fill the rarEs
OF our army TO the number required to caT.v On
the war successfully. At the present rate Of
recruiting to our regular army, the new regi-
ments will not be filed up before January,
thus keeping out of active service our best reg
ulaT officers at = time when their services are
most required. The o, 900 increase OF the reg
ular army ought to be in the fCid before the
hrst Of October; but how to get the men with
out a draft is the question. It is feared by
many persons here that the stoppsge OF all
news respecting the condition OF the army ~
luiling the North to a fatal security, and
that we are credited with twice the number Of
troops on the line Of the Potomac we really
have in camp. IF such is tue case let it be
known that while We have plenty Of men to
guard Washington, 'Fe wan 10000 more troops
10 make an effective forward movement. With
toe complications likely 10 rise in Kentucky
within the coming month, and with what add
tional aid Gen. Fremont will require, 100000
more men can find enough to DO.

MTn~~nR

A mountain rife regiment Of Tennessee vol
u~nteers, for the Confederate service, was or
ganized at Camp Smart, near McMinville,
on Saturday, 7th inst, by the election Of the
following officers, viz: B.. J. Hill, Colonel ].
D. SpUTlock, Lieutenant Colonel 10. Brown,
Major. This regiment has been accepted by
the Secretary Of War and mustered into the
service. Colonel Hill has displayed great
energy and pablo spirit in raising, organizing
and equiPpiag this regiment, and his election
to its command is strictly just both 10 himself
and 20 the public service. From the com
mencemeut OF the war, he has devoted his
whole energies 10 the glorious cause Of the
South. The people Of Warren, DsKalh and
Van Buren, could not trust Their SOUS, brothers
and neigbbors 10 a commander, who will more
religiousiy and faithfully execute bis high
trust and see that Justice is done them and
the regiment could not have confer ID the
command upon one who will more deYOtedly
lead them against the enemy.
Every man 10 this regiment has Furnished
his OWL rife, and the majority Of them can
bring down A squirrel at the distance OF $50
yards. They are stout and s~talwart, Injured to
fatigue, and will make one Of the crack regi-
meuts OF the city.
In this connection, we may be permitted 20
refer to ths noble aud patriotic part that Wsr-
zen county ia playing in this war for independ-
ence, liberty and existence. Her women are
all engaged in weaving cloth. knitting socksor
spinning yarn. She has slTeadv furnished ten
full companies and fragments Of other compa
MES for the service, out Of a voting population
Of 1900 men, and many OF those remaining at
home are engaged in working the ~saItpetsr
caves in the mountain, four Of which are with
in the limits Of Warren.
We thus have the noble example Of q WbOle
e0Gnty, men and women, giving t1sir time and
services to the glorious cause OF the South.

Gallant ExPIoIt OF the Confederate
rnnuE

A Hight house, located At an important point
on Back river, in Elizabeth City county, abous
six miles from Old Point, and known as Back
River Light, having furnished considerable aid
to the Federal pirates VINO have been Hsviss-
ting ia that section for some time past, it was
determined by The Confederate authorities at
Yorktown, TO eXtioguish this prominent illumi-
mater. In fur hersnce OF this Object, Lieut.
John A. Dickson, OF the Burke coUatY, n. c..
Rifles, accompanied by twenty men OF his
company, and twenty others Of the B IncOubs
On c. Rifles, left Yorktown last Tuesday al
teTROon at 4 O'Clock, IN three boats, and ar
rived at their port Of destination about II
O'Clock st night.
They disembaFksd some three miles from the
light house, and having secured their boats
and procured the aid Of a couple Of good and
legal militia men, were safely guided to the
spot. Toe house was surrounded, the keeper,
A man named Hawkins, secured, and then the
lamps and building totally demolished. The
keepers wife and childen were treated with
the utmost kindness and consideration, but
Hawkins, the southern traitor and Lincoln Of
fee holder, was taken to Yorktown. The Ell
tire, party reached Yorktown, Wednesday morn
ing at sunrise in fine spirits and with keen ar
, petItes, having labored ihdustriolsly at their
oars during the greater part Of the night. Our
former young townsmsn, Mr. A. ". Noble,
formed one Of the expedition, and ne are
! pleased to hear, executed the duty assigned
him with PrOmptness, as did all bis comrades.
The destruction Of the light, wesare informed,
seriously interfsres with the navigation Of
Chesapeake Bay, and it is hoped may contrib
ute toward the loss Of several Of LincOll's ri.
ratical craft.

COnTIscation Of vessels owned at the
South.

The seizure Of vessels at New York and
other northern ports, undtr the new confsea-
ton act, still continues. All the vessels taken
are first libelled, then confscated, and viii be
finally sold to the highest bidder. Some Of
these vessels were loading with cargoes for
foreign ports. The government, i. is stated,
will not claim their esrgoes, (lnless it should
be proved they were intended to be shipped to
southern pOrts) and the owners will be afforded
every facility for their removal. Among the
vessels taken possession Of at New York, on
Wednesday, we're the steamers Roanoke and
Cahawbs, barks Pioneer and Wisifred, Of
Richmond, and Gen. Green, Of Charleston,
brig Sarah Star, and schooner Annie NJ. John
son. Speaking Of thege seizures the New York
Post remarks
In case Of most Of the seizures but a small
part-say oue-fourth Of the vessel-5eiongs to
parties in the seeded States. The three
fourth owners, resident in the Ncrth, will bid
in the vessels, and, az the Secretary Of the
Treasury has discretionary powers By the sct,
be will, undoubtedly, remit the amount paid
for shares previously OwLed by T. e bidders in,
and accept only the amount due for the Dor
tlOn OF the vessel Claimed bE southern owners.
The southern owners can, Of course, hare no
claim upon the northern buyers, az the act Of
Congress certificates their PROPERTY. The South
ia thus kelly to De eut OF from any ownership
in a large number Of vessels, and northern
81 powners will have an opportunity Of adding
to their property at a considerable rate, con-
sldering the probable amount which will be
invested under the confscstiOn sale.
With regard to the transferred vessels, 4 is
believed that there will be DO special difficulty
IN establishing the Illegally OF the transfers.
The Federal government will not be likely TO
recognize powers OF attorney issued by the
rebels-psrtieulariy when they we're Issued for
the purpose Of attempting to nullify a law
enacted by Congress, and 20 avoid the confs-
cation which the act ef Congress and the proc
lomati0n Of the President decree.

THE KENTUCKY LEGISGATURE
Rows TIE KNEE TO RAAL.

The body OF kentucky submissionists al
Frankfort have at last shown their clOveD
foot. As seen from cur dispatches this morn
ing. they have passed a resolution, by a vote Of
II against %, directing Gov. MAeoFFIN to
issae bis proclamation ordering the Conteder-
ate forces to wi hhraw from the soil Of Zen
lucky and at the same time refuse to include
the Lincola troops 1oithin he PurUieV Of The
order.
This conduct is nothing more than we ex-
pscted as the legitimate fruit of a "neutrsli-
ty,' which was but a convenient cloak for
combined cowardice and treason. We are
pleased that the traitors have dropped their
himsy guise, and appealed to the srbitrament
of force to solve an Issue which they have dis
gracefully skuiked for go long a period. They
have made their bed-let them now lie

Remarkable Audacity by IA Con-
fedeFafes.

Nav YosK, September 6-The Hsrqld's
special from Washington, says:
The COufederates az Muns0n's Hill have
been bold and tautalizing. Tney placed a band
upon the paraPet Of their works, snd enter
tanned our outposts with "Away Down Sosth
in Dixie" and Washington March, alter
natively all day long. At one time they par
AIDED about one hundred and G'y men before
their works, az E it was their whole force,
when We have accurate information that they
have about 5000 men there, under General
Longstreet.
During the day parties and squads and com
pant 6 came down The read to within nusket
range Of cur pickets aud hTed upon hem upon
several occasions but the FIRE was not re-
turned, as strict orders bad been issued for our
pickets not to FIRE. The order has probably
been given by Gen. Mcclellan to put a stop,
IT possible, TO the friag between pickets, a
practice he condemns as murderOus.
It 10 evident that he COufederstes arc pre-
pairing FOR an Immediate attack. They are
swarmins at al points along our lines. A large
force approached last night to within a short
distance Of the Chain bridge, but our troops
are ready at q moments warning, AID, in fact,
are anxious for the onset, 80 that they may
have an opportunity 20 treat Monsieur Besure-
gard to a Ball Run affair on the other tracs.
