nsrPnon KAxAWaA.-A eolrespOndeat

nSFRoM KAxAwHA.-A correspondent
of the Pittsburgh Chronicle, writing from
Kauawha, gives description II General
Benham's attack on Floyd's camp aud the
retreat Of The rebels. General Benham
crossed with his brigade, leayipg every
thing but oyereoats, blankets aud arms,
to commence climbing the rebel hills on
their left Aank aud rear. The diEieulties
encountered were almost disheartenipg.
Up hills, steep almost as preCipices, where
bot one man at time could go, lying out
in raia for tweuty-Fohr provisions
to be packed ON the backs Of the men
until path was made for the mule train
imagine our men At this. for ten days aud
You viii have an idea Of their trip. You
can imagine what their feelings were when,
everything being completed, and Floyd,
Esq, apparently in their hands they 0ely
found themselves one hour too late at
Fayelte. The birds had gone, -leaying in
such haste as seeesh only can leave. The
road was strewa with everything, from a
IA camp kettle 70 eannon-the latter spiked
las they fed they lighteEvd themselves,
and every species of property that is re-
CURED to compose an army was to be
found in their rear, except what could be
burned. At Fayette the inhabitants told
our boys the whole rebel army was drunk,
Floyd being the highest of the lOt-and
escaping but an hour before the arrival of
our troops. His body guard. consisting
Of sig men, had him placed IN his carriage,
the main body of lis army being some
hours in advance.
Pursuit was given for about twenty-five
miles, but as our boys were nearly worn
out on the Hills, and having no cavalry with
them, they could not be oTertaken. Some
distance Beyond Fayette, a detachment Of
rebel cavalry, guarding their rear while
crossing the river, was come up with, aud
little skirmish ensued, in which Colonel
Croghan, Of the rebel forces, was killed.
Col. O. was formerly Of the regular army.
That the rebels worked with an energy
and zeal worthy of better cause, there
eau be no doubt, and that J. B. Floyd eau
do something else better than manauvrs
an army, Wis faily demonstrated. On his
retreat, positions were abandoned which
had been fortified BY him, where an hum
dFed men could hold In check Eve times
their number. A panic seems to have
slezed his forces, and report says final
adieu was taken by all OF them Of Western
Virginia. That they were not captured, is
owing 10 a variety Of circumstances nna-
volatile in themselves and not necessary.

The General also calls the particular at

Swayue, of Weston yttginIa, who has
been employed for some years in the Au--
ditor's Office at Richmond, arrived in the

reason than that he was Pennsylvania

good secessiOnist, and upon being dis

as Monterey in Highland coppty. Being
very anxious 70 escape, SWayne proposed
to the officers in command to lead a small

managed 70 make his way, over the worst
road on the face of the earth aud on foot,
to Gilmer county, aud gave htmselfIptc q

Mr.. swayns says that the sesesh arc
