THE REPORTED VICTORY IN WEST
VIRGINIA.
[Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial. J
Louisa, Ky., Feb. 17.—Colonel Ferguson, of
the 10th Virginia (rebel) Cavalry, has, for the last
month, been in the mountains of Wayne and
Logan Counties, Virginia, and from thence made
raids on different parts of these counties. Some
ten days ago he captured General Scammon and
his staff, and burned a steamboat on the Kanawha
River, and harassed the- troops in'West Virginia,
stealing every good horse that could be had in
Wayne and Lbgan Counties. Several attempts
have been made to dislodge them. A detachment
•was sent out from Louisa last week,
a portion of tne 13th Vir
ginia co-operating, and scouted over the whole"
county ol Wayne, but the rock houses and almost
impenetrable laurel thickets afforded the rebels
more secure protection than casemated forti
fications would have been. On the
14 th inst., at eight o’clock
1- M., a picked force of 400 men, under command
of Colonel G. W. Gallup consisting of portions
of the 14th and 39th Kentucky Regiments, left
Louisa and made a forced march of twenty-five
miles, Teaching the vicinity of • Colonel
Ferguson’s command. Next morning a
rebbl soldier on picket was captured and
,? mde " The first intimation the
. yebels had of the presence of our men, was a sum
mums to surrender by Captains J. O. Collins and
Wm. Bartrom, who were, with Company B of the
14th Kentucky, in the advance. The enemy broklv
in confusion and received the fire of our troons*
The fight did not last over three minutes, in which "
time the rebels had sixteen killed and a large num
ber wounded, besides sixty prisoners; eighty stand
of arms and a large number of horses, which thev
had stolen, were captured, together with all their
supplies of forage, subsistence and ammunition.
Colonel J. Feignson, 16th VirginiaCavalry, his
fcurgeon and two Lieutenants were captured, and
are now prisoners at Lfmsa. Sixteen hundred
Onion prisoners were released. ■

_ VETERAN EXPEDIENTS.
, -ih a ® “necessity is the mother.'of invention”
is nowhere more fnlly exemplifieiLthan in the
army among the private soldiers. They are the
•men that overcome obstacles and defy circum
stances. Their basis for comfort is nothin
comparatively speaking j and yet, visit their
camp, in “winter quarters,” and you wall
wonder ho# so much of abstract edmfort could
be achieved out of so meagre a basis of indif
ferent material. You will finil houses (or
“ shanties,” as the boys term them) constructed
out of f timber that you would
cast away as refuse at home, and would
scarcely use as. fire-wood. Two or four men
will unite in erecting these habitations, and will

“hunk” together. Most generally a “shelter
lent,” so called, answers tor the roof to these
semi-shielders of inclemency. Then the neces
sary appendage of a chimney is added, mostly
huilt in the “swallow-nest” fashion, and al
ways outside, ‘‘there being more room there.”
A bedstead is constructed of pieces of boards
or whatever else may happen to “turn up.”
Stools and tables, are 'made out of empty
cracker boxes. Drinking cups are formed ont
of cans that had formerly contained fruits,
oysters,'etc., by attaching a handle to one side,
near the top. Buckets for boiling coffee are
made out of the same articles, pieces of wire,
picked up somewhere, being attached near to
the top for “bales.” Cans for holding rations
of tea, sugar, coffee, salt, etc., are constructed
by taking parts of two to make one complete/
with lid. And often, have we heard some of
the boys express the wish that “he hoped
the sutler would soon bring on some
canned fruit,” they being more anxious to
get the cans than the fruit. Plates for culinary
purposes are made by “splitting an old can
teen” in two halves, .which can be easily done,
thus making two “plates or dishes.” Spoons,
forks, etc., are usually whittled out of a rude
piece of pine or hickory wood. But why all
this necessity, you may ask. Simply be
cause Government does not fnrnish any of
these requisites with -which to eat their half
and quarter rations, and money will not al
ways purchase what a man actnally needs in
the army. But the American soldier, born
perhaps to affluence, can make a shift of
necessity and enduriDg and still willing to
endure, even though he may secretly believe
that Government is trying how much he can
bear, and still live, he ‘-hopes against hope,”
and with'one fixed, determined purpose sticks
to his motto “Never give np!” This is the
material element that is now in field fighting
for truth, right, and justice, and can it help
succeed ? Then whv not maintain the'
old organizations and fill np their skeleton
breaches with new recruits andj drafted
men ? There is no palpaple necessity for
forming new regiments, and besides, the
“green recruits” will get along more smoothly,
ay, and fight better, should the test come,when
attached to the old regiments, than they would
do in a body organized entirely out of the raw
material. This is our humble opinion, and in
conformity with the trite suggestions con
tained in. the paragraph above quoted, we be
lieve it practicable.
Now, then, as soon as arrangements are com
pleted, push forward the draft, and let the
“lucky” ones be sent to ns to be initiated into
the art of BoldieriDg. There is much to learn
besides the “facings,” “manual of arms,” Ac.,
and there can be no better tutor found to toaoh
the neophyte how to cook, .wash, avoid sick
ness, Ac., than his old soldier messmate.—
