"Bsvmmv, July 12, 1861.
"Col. E. D. Ibirmsend, Washington, D. 0.: The
success of to-day is all that I could desire. We
captured six cannon, of which one is rifled; all
the camp equippage and transportation, even
to his cups. The number of tents will proba
bly reach two hundred, and more than sixty
wagons. Their killed and wounded will amount
to fully one hundred and fifty, with one hun
dred primers, and more coming in constantly.

"I occupied Beverly by a rapid march. Gar
nett abandoned his camp early in the morning,
leaving much of his equippage. Ho came
within a few miles of Beverly, but ma rapid
march turned him back in great confusion, and
he is now retreating on the road to St. George.
I have ordered 0-en. Morris to follow him up
closely.
"I have telegraphed for the two Pennsylvania
regiments at Cumberland to join Gen: Hill at
Rowlesburg. The General is concentrating all
his troops at Rowlesburg and will cut off Gar
nett's retreat near West Union, or, if liossible,
at St. George.
"I may say that we have driven out some ten
thousand troops strongly entrenched with
the lose of eleven killed and thirty-five wound
ed. The provision returns here shovi Garnett's
force to have been ten thousand men. They
were Eastern Virginians,".Tennesseans, Georgi
ans and I think Carolinians.
"Tomorrow I can give full details as to
prison
ers, &c. I trust that Gen. Cox has by this time
driven Wise out of the Banawba Valley. In
that case I shall have accomplished the object
of liberating Western Virginia.
"I hope the Gentsal-in-Chief will approve of
my operations. Signed,
G. B. McCrarzaw,

Reported Capture of 1,000 Rebels by
Gen. XeLellan.
Yesterday morning Gen. McClellan ordered
four regiments the Eighth, Tenth and Thin
teenth Indiana and the Nineteenth Ohio to
proceed along the line of the hills southeast of
the enemy's entrenched' camp on the Beverly
road where it crosses Rick% mountain two
miles east of the enemy's position, with orders
tD advarice along the Beverly road and attack
the lest side of the works.
Gen. lerClellan being prepared to assault the
wed Side as soon as the firing should announce
the commencement of the attack.
The Capture of a courier who mistook the
road through the enemy's camp for the route
of our troops placed . : the enemy in possession
of the movement when Gen. Rosecrans reached
the Beverly road.
At two o'clock, after a moat exhausting
march over the mountains, we found the enemy
posted on the opposite side of the road, about
800 strong, with two cannons, holding a strong
position, partially fortified. An engagement
with the enemy took place and continued
three-quarters of an hour, when the rebels were
totally routed, with a loss of three hundred,
including ten officers and both cannon. About
75 of the killed and 75 wounded are in our
hands, besides 150 prisoners.
The road was between two hills our troops
dAerAudir44 , a steep declivity and were greatly
exposed to the rebels who occupied the opposite
upon them.
C.len., Mika column. remained at the
Are of the engagement during the night.
Gen. 1160killarierrastinposition with his whole
forde during the afternoon ready to make the
assault but hear' nothing from the other col.
umn except distant firing early in the morning.
He was proceeding to plant his cannon upon
an eminence commanding a portion of the rebel
camp and preparing to attack the whole nest
in front, when it was ascertained that the ene
my had evacuated the place during the night,
moving towards Laurel Hill, leaving a few men
with their sick and their cannon, camp equipage,
and transportation.
A'rapid mnrch was then made by Genl. Mc-
Clellan to Beverly, passing Gen. Rosencran's
command in the road with instructions to fol
low linickly.
At Beverly it was ascertained late in the day
that the rebel forces at Laurel Hill had.retreat
ed, moving towards Romney. Our total low is
not mop than 11 killed and 36 wounded. The
foreg,oing report has been approved by Gen.
McLellan.
I hear from Alexandria that the troops from
that place took possession of Springfield yester
day. The rebels retreated without showing
fight. There were no batteries erected at this
place.
Orders have been sent from the War Depart
ment to Gen. McLelland for the disposition of
the prisoners taken at Beverly.
There are now at the camp of the sixteenth
New York regiment the slaves of a whole plan
tation, who came there as fugitives.
It is reported that Gen. McLellan captured
one thousand rebeli in aims in his march on
Beverly.

BEVERLY, July 12th
The sanitary commission just closed its third
session in Washington, where its brat meeting
was held a month ago. The commission is
now thoroughly organized and working effect
ually. Its agents are busily at work in the
principal military encampments• They report
the results of their inquiries and labors daily
by mail to the head-quarters of the commission,
in the treasury buildings. Several of the
the commissioners and a considerable num
ber of agents are continually employed at the
seat of war. The results of inquiries thus
pursued at all of the encampments from Cairo
and Missouri to eastern Virginia have enabled
the commissioners to act definitely and effi
ciently upon a great variety of practical ques
tions that are of vital importance to the life and
health of the soldiers.
The following are among the leading ques
tions discussed and acted upon during the pre
sent session of the commission :
First—Payment of soldiers' wages by allot
ments or by treasury orders, for the benefit of
their families and themselves.
Second—The condition and wants of the
army in and near Washington, and a like re
port from the encampments at Fortress Monroe,
and
ments, visited by their prestige* - •

I made in compliance with the law which re

says the events - for this course on his
part are se well known as to render
a detailed statement unnecessary. It seemed
more necessary for him to= explain why the
transportation of the mails wascontinned there,
in so long it was for the purpose of disseminat
ing correct information in those States and dis
abusing the minds of those who had been de
ceived by the conspirators. _Hence he thought
truthful information would contribute to break
down the conspiracy, the p'dittal service afford

hit The 'Third District of that
State is loyal; and is, , therefore,. 'end:Medto i t t
loyal representative. He demanded the pre
vious question.
PRICE ONE CENT
Mr. BURNETT (Ky.) wanted Mr. Blair to with
draw the motion, in order that he might sub
mit one which was legitimate and proper,
namely :—that the resolution be refer - red to the
Committee on Elections. The gentlemantS love
of fairness should induce him to comply with
this request.
Mr. Buis refused to withdraw the mottos:
Mr. Rath (Mo.) said he had no knowledge of
Clark having been in arms against the Govern
ment. He had never heard of it except from
rumor. Perhaps, however,Mr. Blair had in
formation that he himself id not possess. He
would be glad if the subject could be referred
to a proper committee.
Mr. Brats repeated that the Third Congres
sional District should be represented by a loyal
man. He had made the statement on his own
responsibility with a full knowledge of the fact.
It was as notorious as that Mr. Clark was in
arms against the Gobernment at Booneville as
that Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price were there.
Mr. Burnett again interposed, and amid calls
of "order" from the Republican side, said some
thing about this being a Star Chamber Court.
The Speaker reminded him that he was out
of order.
Mr. Ettrasurr excused himself, by saying the
proposed court was so extraordinary that he did
not know in what proper terms to condemn it.
The main question was then ordered to be
put. When Mr. Cox'a name was called, he
said if he were satisfied that (len. Clark was in
arms against the Government he would vote to
expel him, but until a proper inquiry was made
he should vote nay.
The resolution was adopted, 94 to 46.
The President sent in a message, saying that
he had approved the bill for the payment of
the and volunteers to the 80th of June.
A memorial of Mr. Foster, of North Caro
line, claiming a seat in the House by virtue of
recent election, was referred to the Committee
on Elections.
Two resolutions were adopted, one asking the
Presideut to communicate the correspondence
with England, France and Spain, on the sub
ject of the blockade and the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy ; and the other, to au
thorize the appointment of a committee to re
port on a reduction of the expenses of the Gov
ernment.
The House then went into committee of
whole on the bill to promote the efficiency of
the army, which was briefly debated, When the
committee rose and the bill passed.
A bill was also passed for the relief of the
soldiers and musicians who lost their property
in removing from Fort Moul trie to Port Sumpter.
The House at 2 P. M. adjourned. •
