From the Kanawha Valley.

On Friday last, 32d inst, there was

Editor 7slegroph:-Say to the people
of Meigs, that the I'd Va. Cavalry is all
right First Battalion is under Gen.
Cox, atsRaleish. Second, under Col.
Crooks, EEat Lewisburg. Since the 1st
were at Raleigh, they had a brush with
Gen. Hath, in which Captains Scott
and Emmons had four pickets taken
prisoners, and ten horses killed.
Last Friday Gen. Hath, with from
1000 to $500, attacked Gen. Crooks,
with about 1900, at Lewisburg, in
which the 26th and 44th Ohio did gal
liant service The Cavalry were not
employed till after the enemy fled
Loss on the enemy's side, 120 prisoners,
including one 1t. Colonel, one Major
and an Adjutant. We buried 40 of
their dead, number of whom we're
officers. Many of their dead they
carried away, at the opening of the
fight. We captured 800 stand of arms,
beside four cannon.
Our loss was 13 killed and 40
wounded-none of the Cavalry, however.
The fight lasted about 80 minutes
Our wounded were fred upon in Lewis
burg, which resulted in killing one.
We burned three hoases, out of which
we were fired upon. We lost out of the
I'd Va. Cavalry three soldiers, who were
on picket that morning.
We have no sick at all, and wish our
friends to know we are in fine spirits

SENATOR wADE,s SPEECH.

Our readers will find speech of our
noble Senator, on the outside of our
paper this week It is long, but we
offer no apology for the space it &C.
cupies. Let no one fail to give it a
careful reading. Senator Wade, for his
great ability, his devoted patriotism,
his sterling integrity, his clear sig hted
craftsmanship and devotion to the Con-
stitution and the Union, as well as his
terrible scatching of traitors and dough
faces, will occupy a large space in. the
history of this unnatural rebellion.
With the exception of Charles Sum-
ner, of Massachusetts,, there is no other
Senator SO intensely hated Or SO fanat-
ically feared, as our own B. B. Wade.
VBB- A sad casualty occurred here ON
Sunday morning last. Little Willie
Prall, SON of William J. Prall, on his
way home from Sunday School, was at
tracted to the river at the landing OF
the Sugar Run Salt Works, by the
ceremony of baptism, then being per-
formed at that place, where he fell into
the water and was drowned. His
father had left on boat, early in the
morning, for Cincinnati. A large con
course of citizens -inlnaedi lately eengre-
gated ON the bank, and every effort
possible was made to recover the body.
1t was found, after being in the water
over FIVE hours, and, of course, resusci-
tation was then impossible. The af-
hicted family have the deep sympathy y
of the community in their heavy bereave-
ment. Willie was between seven and
eight years old.
