THE VICTORY IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.: 1
Every defeat of the 'rebels Virginisle worth:
a dozen in any other locality, simply because
the rebellion receives al.l.,its present encourage-1
merit and virulence from the politicians andi
traitors in the Old Dominion. They rule in the!
cabinets and dictate in the camis of the rebels,!
so that when , a rebel army is checked, defeat®
and its rontemade complete, , the cause of ,re
hellion is staggered every where, while the gm.:
rious cause of the Urilon gathers new strength
In the same localities. The recent defeat cif Om
traitor and thief, John B. Floyd, who :was
prowling in Western Virginia at the hilurof
:bend of assassins, is of the description tOwliiiCh
•we, allude, and will fill the country with „kcal
est and hearty rejoicing.. The exact loss Hof
the rebels, could not be ascertained—but thti
fact that they were completely meted an4,PM.
to flight, is sufficient for the strongest rejoicing.
It is the commencment of the Union victories
which are to crown the efforts of the loyal men
in all parte of. Virginia. . ,

CLILVMSBURG, ,' Sep. 12
A battle commenced between the Federal
troops and the enemy at 8 o'clock on Tuesday
affernoini, near Sununeryilki.
Oen.. Rosecrans, after-taking a reconnoisance,
found Floyd's rebel army 5,000 strong, with
sixteen field pleoes, to be entrenched in a pow
erful position- on the top -of the Mountain at
Cannax Ferry, ore the west side of flauley river.
The rear and extrenae of both flanks , were inac
cessible. The front was masked by heavy'for
este and close jungles
Lyttles' 10th Ohio e lf-cement of Ben
ham's Brigade was in advance and drove :.a
strong detachment of the- enemy out of their
camp, this side of the position ' the state of
which was unknown. Shortly afterw.irds his
scouts, consisting • of- fourcompanies, suddenly
discovered themselves in' the face of a parapet
battery and a long line of palisades for rifle
men, when the battle opened fiercely.
. The remander of the 10th and the lath Ohio'
regiments were then brought into action suc-!
evasively by Gen. Benham e and the 12th Old&
regiment afterwards by - Capt. Harbmff, whose
object was an armed reconnoisance. 1
Th e enemy
. played utxm,our forces terrifically'
with musketry, canister and shell.
Col. Lyttle led several.conitenies of.lrishmen
to charge the battery, when he was brought,
down by a shot in the leg.
Col. Smith's 18th Ohio engaged the enemyi
on the left, and.CoL Lane's 12th Ohio directly!
in the front. Col. Lane fell dead at the head!
of his regiment, early in the hottest of the fire,'
by receiving,a. ball, in the forehead.
Captain McMullin's howitaer battery, and;
Captain Snyder's two' field -pieces, meantime,:
were got into the best position possible wider
the circumstances, and soon silenced two of thEi
rebel guns. • ,
The fire slackened at intervals, but grew mori
furious as night approached.
The German Brigade. *as led gallantly intd,
action by Col. 'McCook, under the direction of
Adjutant General Hartsuff; but, after a -fu
rious fight of three hours, darkness compelled
-the recall of the Iroops, and the:.men laid o
their arms within a shot* distance of the enem
ready_ to resume the contest next morning.
- -When-the-morning came, however, our smiler

the night, sinking the boats lb the river in his
rear, and destroyipg, the temporary bridge hp
hid made when hfilliat'crosieci to occupy the
position. The turbulence and, depth of the
river, and the exhaustion of our troops made it
impossible to follow the fugitive rebels. S 9
hasty was his flight that he left :behind his
camp equipage, wagons ; ihotses, , large quantiL
ties of amunition and fifty head of cattle.
Our loss is only fifteen killed and about
seventy wounded, generally flesh wounds. t
' The rebel's:loss is not ascertained, as they
carried their dead and wounded across the river
during the night, but it was certainly very se-
Capt . McGiroarty, of Cincinnati, Captain Mci-
Mullin and Lieut. Snyder of Ohio, are among
the wounded, but' not dangerously.
Twenty-five men of Col: Tyler's regiment,
who were taken' prisoners by General Floyd at
Cross Lane, were recaptured by our troops. ! .
Gen. Floyd's personal baggage, with that of
all his officers,, was also taken.
Gen. Benham's brigade, which suffered most,
was coriiiniaided' by Vim= in poison, and Col.
McCook alsoled his brigade into action.
Maj. - Gen. Ilosinicrans, Gin. 'Benham, Co ~
McCook, Little and Lowe, and Captains Ha
Burl; Snider, McMullin and Burk and other 1

The troops engaged were exclusively from
Ohio and all fought with a bravery worthy )f

ed seventeen and, ti-half miles, and reached the
enemy's entrenched position is front of Cannes
Ferry, driving his advanced outpotts and pickets
before us. We forind him occupying a strongly
entrenched position, covered by forests moo
dense to admit of lift being seen at 9 distancelof
three hundred yards. His force was, five regi
ments, besides the one driven hi. He had pro
bably sixteen pjeces of artillery.

strong reccinnoissan ,

which proceeded to =oh length that we were
about to assault the position on the flank and
front when night coming on, and our troops
being completely exhausted, I drew them out
of the woods and posted them in the erdeicif
battle behind ridges immediately in front of e
enemy's **Atkin, where they rested on t*ir
arms until the morning. , ..
Shortly after day-light , a runaway "contra
band" came in and reported that the enemy
haderossed, the Gauley _rivei_duthig thenight
by means of the ferry, and a bridge which they
had conitptill CoL , -Erdng was ordered'. to

with Quarter Master's stores messing and camp
' The enemy have destmied their bridge acioss
the Ciauley,'which here rushes through a deep
gorge, and our - troops being still much fatigited
and having no material for inunediately repair- .
ing the bridge, it was thought prudent to en=
camp the - troops and occupy the ferry and the.
captured camp. We sent a .few rifle ;cannon
shots after the'retreating enemy, to produce a
moral effect.
Our loss will probably amount to twenty killed
and' one hundred wounded: The enemy's loss
is not. ascertained, but from the report of '!the
prisoners must have been very considerable., •
