WAR NEWS. From Western Virginia. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE LATE BATTLE, [Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.] Cabsifex FERitr, September 13. The bat tic of Inst Tuesday nt this place was by far the greatest and severest yet fought in Western Virginia. Ex-Secretary of War Floyd commanded the rebels in person, and received a severe wound in the arm during the engagement. The rebels had accurate advice of our approach and exact strength, as appears from the papers found in their oamp, and hod made every prepara tion to resist an attack. They had six regiments, beside their entrenchments, with artillery sweeping all approach. During the whole engagement, lasting nearly four hours, we brought into action only five regi ments, and of these Dat parts of three were long engaged. The rebels stationed expert riflemen to pick off officers, and fired spelter from their can non—a missile unknown to civilized warfare. Ex perienced military men sny the roar of cannon ading and musketry for a time was the heaviest they ever heard, but the rebels fired mostly too high with lheir artillery. Their squirrel rifles did the most execution. Floyd should be surrounded and his retreat to Lewinsburg cut off. An immense amount of personal property was found in the rebel camp, but only some fifty wagon loads were thought worthy of transportation, and. in this country the whole amount is hardly worth $lO,OOO. Fears have been entertained that Floyd might make a rapid march to Gauley Bridge, and con centrate with Wise in an attack on Cox, but he is HOW in no condition for a fight anywhere. He has oyer 500 elek, and a strong detachment spent an hour and twenty minutes carrying off his killed and wounded, after the fight, past the house where he had our prisoners confined. Wise has been skirmishing with Cox, and has uniformly been beaten off with heavy loss. Cox is regarded per fectly safe. Lee attacked Beynolds at Cheat Mountain Gap yesterday. Reynolds is strongly posted and be lieved able to defend himself. Floyd’s scouts are still infesting the mountains on the opposite side of Gauley, and guerilla firing is frequent on our messengers from here to Sutton. The following is a complete list of our killed in the battle of Carnifex Ferry : Twelfth Ohio.—Col. John M. Lowe, Thos. Mer rill, of Company K. Tenth Ohio.—Calvin Darr, M.

Bragg, who is now said to he holding a commission in the rebel army. The property will be confiscated to the use of the Government. PROCLAMATION OP GEN. FREMONT. Gen. Fremont haring had evidence that Thomas L. Snead, of St. Louis, had been taking an active part with the rebels, has executed the following deed of manumission: Whereas, Thomas L. Snead, of the city and county of St. Louis, State of Missouri, has been taking an active part with the enemies of the United States, in the present insurrectionary movement against the Government of the United States: Now, therefore, I, John Charles Fremont, Major General commanding the Western department of the army of the United States, by authority of law, and the power vested in me, as such commanding general, declare Hiram Reed, heretofore held to service or labor, by Thomas L. Snead, to be free , and forever discharged from the bonds of serritnde, giving him fnU right and authority to hare, use, and control his own labor or service, as to him may seem proper, without any accountability what ever to said Thomas L. Snead, or any one to claim by, through, or under him. And this deed of ma numission shall be respected and treated by all persons, and in all courts of justice, as the full and complete evidence of the freedom of said Hiram Reed. In testimony whereof, this act is done at head* quarters of the Western department of the army of the United States, in the city of St. Louts, State of Missouri, on this 12th day of September, A. X>, eighteen hundred and sixty-one, as is evidenced by the departmental seal hereto affixed by my order. * J. C Fhehoxt, Major General Commanding. The late order of the President, we presume, will prevent the issue of deeds of manumission of this character, except in cases where the slaves themselves have been employed in the service of the insurgents. FROM CAIRO. Cairo, Sept. 11.—The correspondent of the JWis~ soitri Democrat writes to this efi'erh' It is evident now, from the immen& preparation, and the vigorous action of General Fremont, that the great full campaign has commenced, and that before many days elapse we shall be in the midst of the stirring and stern realities of an active war. Quite an alarm prevailed here last evening. It was reported that the Lexington had been at tacked, together with our land forces at Norfolk, sis miles below, by the Yankee and rebel infantry. The Yankee was seen very close to Bird’s Point on Friday. Col. Oglesby’s Ninth regiment, with the Conestoga, were immediately sent down, but the report eo far is untrue. The particulars of the Paducah expedition then follow, but have already been published by us. The stampede of the inhabitants from Paducah was astonishing and immense, and ere this scarcely a hundred families are left there, out of a popula tion of from fifteen to twenty thousand people. A large log dwelling-house was discovered to be burning down when our troops arrived. It had been set on fire by the rebels, lest our troops might take quarters in it. The report became current in Paducah that a large force of rebels from Tennessee were moment arily expected down the Tennessee river per steam boat. On Saturday an unfortunate accident, but pro vidential in its result, happened. The gunboat Tyler, while the crew were practising at the guns, by some carelessness of the gunners, let fly a sixty four-pound'shell, which struck a house on the levee, and knocked a huge hole out of it. Fortu nately , the shell struck it on the line of pavement, and went into the lower story not occupied, and ex ploded. From the most reliable reports recently received, there is no rebel force short of Union City and Co lumbus. ond no immediate attack on Paducah is ap prehended. THE REREL LEGISLATURE OF MISSOURI. The rebel Legislature of Missouri, the members of which were formally deposed by the State Con vention. adjourned on the 15th of May last, to meet again in Jefferson City yesterday. The pros pect for a meeting is at present not very flattering. A FLAG OF TRUCE, Capt. Kidd, of the rebel army, arrived at St. Louie, on Tuesday evening, from the southwest, bearing a flag of truce. The object of his mission was not known. BRITISH NKCTKALITV We have from Washington information of an important nature touching the English idpa of neutrality. It appears that on the 25th of August Lieut. Cummings, of the U- S. ship Riehmoml, held a conversation with Capt. Morris, of the British navy, at Port Boyal, in the course of which the latter stated that the Sumpter, or any vessel bearing the rebel flag, would bo treated by him as if it carried the national flag; he exhibited to Lieut. Cummings a letter of instructions from the Admiralty Lords, enclosing a copy of tho rebel flag, and directing him to preserve towards it a strict neutrality— N. Y. Tribute, Sept. Ifi. A CANXWAN SECESSIONIST ON THE ACTS OF THE I*niVAT£EH SUMPTER, The privateer Sumpter is said to have destroyed thirty vessels in British waters. We trustthiskind of outrage is not to be permitted. Though, as Ca nadians, we cannot avoid preferring the Southern States who have not threatened or insulted our country to the Northern who have, wo cannot re frain from expressing a hope that the authorities in the West Indies will not permit outrages of this kind against the shipping of a neutral Power. AIL the ferocity and insolence of the Northern press will fail to provoke British subjects to acts nfinhu “a"’Jy (,r had faith. —Quebec Mercury. Scptrrn- 'HU: AFRICAN SQUADRON _Thc United States steam gunboat Sumpter, the pioneer of the late African squadron, arrived at New i ork ou Sunday, tront raul de Loando, Africa, via Monrovia and Porto Grande.

The pleop-of-war Saratoga, Commander Taylor, will bo the only vessel left on the coast of Africa, The Sampler has had but little sickness during her two years’ cruise, and but one man had died.

Ky., was mortally wounded in Coving ton on Tuesday night by a policeman who was in the act or arresting him. PROPOSALS. ROPOsTITFOB^BVBNUB VESSELS.— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Washington, September 3,1861.
