WAR NEWS.

From Wheeling. we learn that on Friday
the Federal forces at R,mney, under com
mand of Gen. Lander, retired from that
place on learning of the advance of the Con-
federate army under Gen. jackson, and fell
back t3wards Cumberland. The troops
mentioned as engaged in entrenching them
selves ON Patterson's creek, near, Cumher-
land are probably part Of the army lately
occupying Romney. Gen. Lander tele-
graphed for reinforcements, and several
regiments were forwarded to his relief
Eight Thousand Ohio troops are also repor-
ted to have been in readiness to march for
Virginia on Friday, but the order for their
movement was countermanded.
The latest intelligence from Hancock con
tradicts the statement that Gen. jackson had
again appeared before that town. 1t is now
stated that up to noon on Monday he had
not left his position at Bath. The official
report Of the repulse of the Federal troops
at that place has not yet Deen received, but
it is stated that the loss was srifing.
Official dispatches have been received
from COL Garfield confirming the previous
ily reported dispersion Of Gen. Humphrey
Marshalps forces in Kentucky. The en-
gagement took place on Thursday, the 9th
inst. near Pointsvlle. Col. Garfield places
the Confederate loss at about sixty killed
and twenty-five prisoners, and his own loss
at two killed and twenty-five wounded.
Spain has begun to reward those who
were the Investigators Of the incorporation
of St. Domingo. The government has con-
ferred the grand cross upon Abad and Alfau,
who were the vice president and the minis
ter plenipotentiary Of St. Domingo in Spain
when that republic proclaimed her incorpo-
ration with Spain.
The British Parliament as we'll as the

will occupy large share of their attention.
Mr.. Wilson, secretary of the Iowa Agri-
cultural Society estimates the yield of wheat
in that State the past year at twelve bushels

bushel, or S. 80 per acre. He thinks this
involves loss of 50 per acre, or about three
millions of dollars to the whole State. He
thinks the farmers of the Northwestern
States cannot aff,rd to raise wheat, except
for home consumption.

We have Confederate accounts of the
movements of General Jackson's srmy on
the Potomac. In the attack on Dam M. S
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, they
captured two gums and some forty thousand
dollars worth of clothing and military stores.
The affair previously reported as having
taken place near Romney, on the 9th inst,
resulting in the defeat Of the Confederates,
but it is stated that their forces were only
Eve hundred militia, which were soon de-
feated by the four thousand Federals brought
against them. The Confederate loss is plac-
ed at three or four killed and several prison
ers, two pieces of artillery and three bag
gage wagons. The first advance on the
Federals at Bath was made on Friday, the

and one from Richmond. Several other
