The telegraph gave some days ago, the
report of an attack upon provision and
supply steamer which was going up the Kan
awha river. A correspondent Of the Cincin-
matt Commercial gives these details Of the
pursuit by Col. Piatt's zouaves;
When Col Piatt came with his forces, he
found our men drawn up in line and just
ready 20 march back to the kanawha, they
having been unable to find the enemy in
any force and having already captured
large amount OF property belonging TO prom
ineRt secessionists. However, he concluded
to see for himself what this country pro-
duces. He ordered 6elay, and sent out
more parties in search of rebels and rebel
goods. The success which attended these
parties shows either the peculiar aptness of
the Zouaves In capturing and condscating
''secesh' property, or the remarkable pro-
ductiveness Of the country in such goods
We started back on Tuesday, Oct. 10, hsv-

"a Femnle snmnritnn.

While returning from Cincinnati q few
days since, we noticed in the sleeping car an
invalid soldier lying down, returning TO his
"sweet home" in charge of brother of his.
The poor fellow bore the marks of much suf
iering on his emaciated but manly cOunte-
nance. he had been in service in Western
Virginia, where he was taken down with
the aWestern Virginia fever" and was
confined to his blanket on the ground in
camp for a number Of days. When he be-
came eonvalescent he was sent to the Military
hospital at Cincinnati. Here his treatment
not being of the best be had a relapse of his
disease. While in this condition kind and
noble-hearted woman by the name of Mrs
Mack R. Barnitz, happened to visit the hospi-
tai, and while passing through her attention
was called to the case of this young man. Bis
forlorn and suffering condition stirred up the
deep fountains of her sympathy, and she
forthwith determined to take him to her OWL
house and nurse him herself She applied tC
headquarters for permission to remove him.
and was informed that it was "oOntrary tc
regulation for any patient to be removed
from the hospital while being treated" She
then claimed the young man as "her cousin,
and made a forcible appeal for the privilege
If taking care of him, which was finally
granted. She took him to her residence, and
hired a nurse to assist her in taking care oi
him till he became convalescent when bis
brother came on and took him to his home.

they await an attack. 1t is very evident
that but few rebel troops are put forward to
meet our advance and those are stationed in
such positions that they can easily retreat.
The rebel troops centering a. Manassas are
ready for battle, and await the advance of
the Federal army. The closing of the Poto-

the subject, it Is closed TO all ordinary navi

OF measures intended to drive The United
States forces into premature attack. 1t is
well known that the only sure method Of
clearing the Potomac riTel of batteries is to
advance upon Manassas. The rebels are full
" aware Of this. and being impatient for a
battle behind their Manassas earthworks,
they issue orders to open their Potomac bat
teries on all our vessels passing up and down

the following particulars
Col. Carlin, with parts ,of the 2lst 33d

from Cape Girardeau. They then advanced
in pursuit of the rebels under JEFF. Thomp-
son and Col. Lowe, who had left the place
"a hours before, and were rapidly retreating
South. But about a mile from town they
discovered the entire force of the enemy
drawn up in line OF battle, partly posted in
an open field and partly in the adjacent woods,
with four iron ls-pounderS well planted IN
front.
Maj. Schofeld Immediately opened fire, and
at the 4th round silenced one of the rebels
guns. The engagement then became gene
raj, and lasted about two hours, but after the
first half hour the rebels left the held IN dis
order, ard took to the woods, closely follow
