Hughes, mistaking ibem for Cn-le Sam's men, exclaimed: Don't aboot. I'm it Northern men.". That iras enough, and instantly about thir. tr guns wore fired at him, tearing him all tj pieces.

HOWARDS k BRO Reported Exclusively for the Daily Intelligencer. COXGRESSIOXAL. Washington. July 17. House..The Speaker announced the following gintlemen as a special commit¬ tee on tlie subject of n general bankrupt law : .Messrs. Ruscoe. Coukliug. Kinchins. Tliouias, of Mass., Xoell nod McKtiight- Henry Mavt of Md., app.-ared and ivas qualified by taking the usual oath to sup port the Constitution. Sir. Holinan, of Ky., introduced a reso¬ lution authorizing the Select Committee heretofore appointed, to examine into 'lie War Department contracts; to extend their inquiries into the facts and circumstances of all coutr: cts and agreements made or hereafter to be made, prior to a final of the Committee by or with any department of the Government; that the' Committee have leave to sit during the rectss at such times and places as they may deeui uecessnrv, and that they be empowered to employ a stenographer or clerk ; that the Sergeant- at-Arins attend the meetings in person or by deputy, to serve all subpiEtias: thnt til's Speaker be authorized aud directed to is¬ sue subpoenas at the request of the Com¬ mittee, as in cases during the session of Congress. Mr. Kellogg, of 111., opposed the exten¬ sion of the inquiry, which could be author¬ ized only on the assumption that some¬ thing is wrong. He was not disposed to establish an advisory and controlling board, in effect to have eight insttad of one head of a department. There was nothing to warrant putting the Secretary of War un¬ der the ban of the committee. He was op¬ posed to a roving committee without limi¬ tation as to time and place. He believed that the Secretary of War was faithfully aud honestly attending to the duties of his high and responsible office. Mr. Roscue Conkling. of X. V., briefly opposed the resolutions, principally be¬ cause he was averse to the appointment of a roving committee. .Mr. llolman. of lud., said the resolution was reported by direciion of the Commit¬ tee and had his concurrence. He argued that it implied uo censure of the Adminis¬ tration. Mr. Dawes, of Mass., as a member of the Committee, said although he had not consented to serve on it, yet he would tjot shield or whitewash any improper trans¬ action, whether of this or any other Ad¬ ministration. The country is tuil of ru¬ mors, and benre' requires investigation.. As the House has expressed the desire to adjourn 011 Friday, the time for investiga¬ tion must necessarily be extended heyond the present sessiou. Was it not better that the facts should be inquired into where the contracts had been made, rather than at great expense and trouble, bring the wit¬ nesses to Washington ? If the House be¬ lieve that the committee will not abuse their power, the resolution ought to be passed. Mr. Edwards, of N. H, was opposed to the resolution and to the object for which he committee was raised. It would be better to wait until some authentic or re¬ sponsible charges were made, before such inquiries should be made. They should not act on vague suggestions that possibly something may be wrong, especially at a time when it was necessary to exert nil the energies of the Government to put down the rebellion. Besides, there was an out¬ standing committee on the expenditures of the War Department, to whom the inquiry properly belonged. Mr. Kellogg again urged his objection to the resolution, 0:1 the ground that there were no specific charges. Mr. Van Wyck, of N. V., said there were specific charges of fraud hy contrac¬ tors He understood that, without doubt, within two short months, there had been a system of plunder which, for audacity and wickedness, had never been surpassed in this connection He referred to the exces¬ sive pay for beef, huts, etc. He charged 110 DJhirimcut with complicity, but he did sa|Jphere were men who had taken advan¬ tage of the necessities of the times, and plundered the Treasury. The resolution was passed.yeas 81, nays 42. A bill from the Committee on Com¬ merce, fixing the compensation of officers of the revenue marine, was passed. The House went into committee on the tariff bill. The House then went into committee on a bill to provide for an increase of the rev¬ enue from imports, to pay the interest on the public debt, and for other purposes. Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, offered a substitute, namely, to revise the tariff act of lgiiO, and to lax the articles in the free list therein, ten per centum, with the ex¬ ception of tea, coffee, fire arms, etc., for the loyal States. He briefly advocated his proposition, Mr. Stevens, of Pa., opposed the substi¬ tute, for it was well known that the act of lnr>I, even iii time of profound peace, did not produce a sufficient revenue to defray the expenses of the Government. In relation to dutie- on tea and coffee, 11s proposed ill the bill under consideration, they would tint be continued beyond the exigency which now demands them. He had no doubt that the pecple would not object to these duties during this righteous struggle to preserve the nation which has protected them. Mr. Covode. of Pa., opposed the tax on sugar, contending, from the amount on hand, that the Government would derivo no revenue from it during the present war. The holders themselves would be only benefitted. Mr. Cox moved to strike out the tax on tea 15 cents, and on coffee 5 cents per ! poumi. Mr. Mor.-ill, of Vr.. said he would vote for :lie bill, although it did uot meet his cordial support. Without concluding action on the bill the Committee rose. Adjourned. Senate..Mr. Latham, of Cal., intro- duced a bill to procure contractd for the speedy transmission of munitions of war to the Pacific coast. Referred to the select ! committee on the Pacilic Railroad, j .Mr. Pearce, of Md., presented a mcmo- rial from the police commissioners now ; confined at Fort McHenry, who wero ar¬ rested and confined by order of Major- General Banks. The memorialists solemn¬ ly declare they would ba.'e discharged their duties impartially nod in obedienco to the laws and constitution, and that any evidence to the contrary is false. They state that the grounds set up hy Gen. Banks is based on no authority at all, and that Marshal Kane is a man ol integrity and worth, and that no body of men arc less liable to the charge of unlawful com¬ bination. ' They submit that tbe proclama¬ tion by which they were arrested was no warrant of law and ask the interposition of Congress in their behalf. Mr. Pearce Slid the gentlemen were known to him and he believed ibem to be ot the highest integrity and faithful to the constitution. He did not believe that proof could be adduced ajiaiuat them. The memorial was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. llale, of N. H. introduced a bill Co I increase the medical eorp» of the Navy. I .Mr. Anti onv offered a resolution fjr the ' establishment of a Naval Academy on < Narragansett Buy. He urged io a few rc- mar&s tbe «ppropria:encss of tbe site for "-Salubrity of climate and locality and mar- . itiaie character of the peoplo. Mr. Gr roes, of Iowa, from the Commit- tee on Naval Affairs, introduced a bill to provide for tbe temporary increase of tbe Navy. Mr. Koote. of Vt , said there was press- injj necessity fur the passage of the bill, 'when privateers were injuring our corn- merce. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to purchase or hire such ves- I e!s as may be necessary during tbe war J tu suppress piracy and render effectual tbe « blockade.

Resolutions from tbe House in relation to an adjournment on Friday were taken up and laid on the table to give tiiuc for further consideration. The bill to pro- vide for the better organization of the military establishments was taken up. After various amendments and a great ideal of discussion the bill was recommit-' ted to the Committee ou Military Affairs. ! A message was received that ibe House insisted ou its amendment to the bill au¬ thorizing the employmeut of volunteers, and asking for a Committee of Conference which was agreed to.

Washinotox, July 17..l'bc Republican of this morning snys the general move- ment was in the directiou of Fairfax G. H., i to which it i9 no grent march from the right of Gen. McDowel's line, though it 13 near 14 miles from the extreme left. The iirmy it was supposed would halt for the night this side of Fairfax C. H., which the rebels will probably take occasion to vu- cate and resume their lpArcli in the morn- ing. They took with tbetn three days' rations, four mou-ited batteries eight seige guns, and several squadron^ of cavalry | are in the column, which consists mainly of infantry. The Intelligencer says an officer of the 12th New York .regiment arrived in this icitv last night, dircct from Slartinsbiirg, which place he left yesterday morning. He brings bews that Gen. Johnson broke up his camp at Buuker Ilill on Monday I and commenced the retreat of his whole army towards Winchester. Gen. Patterson with his entire force immediately started i in pursuit and was then about 11 miles in rear of the retreating rebels. The.Star of this morning says there must be at least 50.000 troops actually on j the march under McDowell, exclusive of his reserve still resting in and around his late encampments. From nightfall last night, the city was full of rumors that Gei. Beauregard had abandoned Fairfax C. II. without a gun being fired. No such information of a reliable character had reached the War Department to 11 A. M. to-day, though that course on his part is not unlooked for. The division of Col. Hunter proceeded doubtless by the Georgetown and I.eesburg Turnpike, via. Langley, to the neighbor¬ hood of Vienna and there formed a junc- tion with that of Gen. Tyler this morn- ing. The march of this grand column of, some 23,000 men started before day-break this morning.

Ten- ¦lessee, of the 14th, says the Ken'.tickians among the Confederate tvuops there have j plenty to eat, but hard driliiug and camp duty." The requisition for enlistment for the war, has scared off a lew. Per contra-. The Journal contains a state- meat from two young men direct from Camp Boone, that when they left deser- j tions were of daily occurrence, and the woods on the Kentucky side of the river were full of deserters from that camp, and that about fifteen hundred ragged; halt starved victim- only were left at the camp.

An en¬ gagement ensued, resulting in the loss of seven rebels killed and several taken pris¬ oners.

The Federals lost three killed and seven wounded. Thirty horses were captured. Strength of the rebels not known. ClNCt.v.'-'ATi, July 17..On Friday night a detachment of three companies of Colonel Woodruffs Second Kentucky regiment at- tacked six hundred rebels between Mad river and Barhourville on the Kanawha ! river, completely routing them. Ten or j twelve rebels were killed and a number wonuded. The Kentuckians had only one killed. Gen.

(From the Cfnclnuati Commercial of la?t nigbt.j Camp Woodbcff, near Cabell 0. II.,Va. 1 July Utb, 1861. / You bare probably been advised of tbe great activity of the 24 Kentucky Regi¬ ment since its putting foot tipnn tbe soil of Virginia, an activity which has been at¬ tended with such fortunate results that trailing to starve tbem out begins to look like.fallacy.-is it certainly is in Western Virginia. .My last hurried letter left us in occupancy of tbe troublous town of Guyan- dottc. We remained there but a few hours, a number of companies moving out to Camp Crittenden, as it was i h-Ntencd, the same afternoou the town was captured.. C.tmp Crittenden was situated on the Charleston ronj, about two miles from Guyandotte, and was pitched on tbe wheat field of Col. Everett, uow in the Secession army. His mansion adjoined tbe field, and his family was oue of the few of tdnt per¬ suasion that did not flee when we lauded. Our position there was not a strong one, and much apprehension was felt the first night concerning an attack from the rebels encamped some sir miles distant, at Cabell C. II. (or Barboaiville, as tiie towu is , called.) Our rneu were aroused by the long roll half a dozen times before daviight, mid formed in liue of battle on the parade ! ground, and the pickets alarmed by strag- . glTs through tbe adjoining wooded hills, f fired their j;uus and withdrew to camp. No euemv appeared, however, and the next day our position was made comparatively I secure, by the arrival of the balance of the regiment, whicu evacuated Guyandotte,' | leaving a small detachment to bold Ibe place. Ouco encampcd, scouts and skirmishing I parties were conatuntly sent out. Of all the small detachments of infantry that left camp to reconnoitre, not one returned, al¬ though we were always joined tbe suu c day by corresponding parties of cavalry, ! mouutcd on secession nags left standing in stables, uneurried and unfed, or rtttnb- j ling through neglected fields. The most ' scrupulous respect h«3, however, been evinced for the property of the Unionists, whilst they iu turu cheerfully volunteer, ! both their chattels and their services, iu j our advance. Colonel 'Woodruff was, in the meanwhile, turning attention to the rebel camp at liarboursville; gleaning such information as he could from scouts and loyal residents. lie found they were re¬ ceiving reinforcements so rapidly, that a most vigorous action on his part would be necessary. He could learn nothing posi¬ tive concerning their number, or the mili¬ tary strength of their posit.on; but he planned an .immediate attack. Accord¬ ingly, at mid night, ou the night of tbe liib, companies A, 15, D, F, and K were aroused from their slumbers, nud placed under the command of Lieut. Col. Keif, aud, with one day's ra'ious iu their haver¬ sacks, they proceeded ou their march . after a short but stirring address from Col. Woodrufi. Tile column was conducted bv a .«irouc Union man, a resident of Bar- boursvilic, who had been driven thence some weeks since. It was proposed to make the attack at early daylight, but the deep silence ob- served along the route, together with the halts to send forward scouting parties, de- ' ferred their coiuiug into sight of the eneuiv j until the sun was two hours high. When ! they did catch a first glance, if there had been any fear iu their composition, it would have overpowered them at once. ' The rebels were drawn up iu liue of bat¬ tle ou the brow of a high hill, apparently inaccessible on all sides, aud commanding a view for two miles around ot a magnifi¬ cent level plain, with all its roaus in full sight, until they dwindled into the distant forests. Near the base of the hill wound tbe Guyandotte river, and within pistol .-hot of their position was the only bridge which spanned it from the side on which we were advancing. Our brave boys took but one glance and passed on. As they neared the bringe, they discov¬ ered a large body of cavalry on the road which wound around the base of the hill on which the enemy was ranged, retreating and dividing iu order to intercept out flight.a natural inference, but. a matter ot opinion nevertheless. The rebels very considerately reserved their fire until lite head of oar column had set foot upon the bridge, aud tlieu they fired a terrific volley, killing one uian instantly, aud wounding a number of others. To cscupe iliis terrible shelving lire, our meu wore douole quick iut-. the covered bridge where the bulicts pelted, pattered, mill whistled like a leaden hailstorm. They rushed ouward, however, iiutii they baited with such a sudden shock, thai it soul the whole column into disorder The pi.inks of ion ini ijfe bad been removed on the opposite side, and the mule 011 which tue guide was mounted had fallen through, ana he b.irely escaped sharing its destruction, by clinging to the timbers. Tue rebels, eucouiaged oy our delay at the fearful impediment, broke into wild shouts and cheers. Fired by their assur¬ ances of Victory, our boys could be les- trained no longer; tbey answered with terrific yells, some rim to the palhholcs of the bridge, and discharged tucir luuskeis at their toe. and Co. A, led by (Japt Brown, made a dash ill single lile across the bare stringers and rilieis of the bridge, l»l- lowed by Company L> (Itoodwurd Guards) and the remaining companies. As they emerged Iroui the bridge, the rebels Hank¬ ed and charged lrout Irom thu mouth of the bndge, to tho road which encircled the base of the hill, and sent another bitter volley ut our men, which luckily was aim¬ ed too high, and did but little damage.. Our men t>y this time b.td all cleared the bridge, in total disorder, but blazing away witb excitement, veiling and leapiug like tnadmeu. They turned suddenly up the side of the hill at a charge bujouetts. mid literally dragging themselves up by bush¬ es and jutting turf. They cleared in a few moments, rushed at the enemy, who had, as t.'iey cooiuieuced the ascent, Ured again with ctfeCt. It was their last volley. At the glistening bayonets reached the top of the Hill, and met their wavering ga.se, and those yells continued, which meant, vic¬ tory if there had been a thousand opposed. Thu enemy swayed for a moment, a leap was made from their llank unit rear, aud then the whole body scattered like sparks from a pin-wheel, down the rear 01 the hill, streaming in every direction in the tields below, ut full speed, with white fa¬ ces and au impulse ol fear which I heard compared to the frigbt of a hundred hors¬ es iu a conflagration. Our men were too lireaiuless for pursuit, but they cheered as only men who have conquered cau clieer, and planted immediately the stars and stripes on the summit of tho bill. There was some tiring at tbe retreating foe, and their commander, Col. ilausfield, whb hit and fell from his horse, but was immediately seized and curried oft' by i;i« companions, as is supposed others we'ic.. They left but. one 011 tbe field, an old gray haired inuii, whom we are informed, was pressed into the service, as luutiy of hi* companions had been, lis was taken cure o! by oor troops, but be died in the after¬ noon. The victorious battallion, Trhen the re¬ bels had disappeared, murcued through the town with tbe banners flyin<r, aud bund* playing pirn which the inhabitant* neror hoped to hour ngnin. The Xj^oddivnn} bovs planted their dug on tl)e ijupohi of the Court House, and seemed to regard as a coincidence, that precisely two months after it was preceniid it was streaming from a spire in one of the hot-beds of se¬ cession.

That iras enough, and instantly about thir.

Reported Exclusively for the DailyIntelligencer.COXGRESSIOXAL.

Washington. July 17.House..The Speaker announced the

following gintlemen as a special commit¬tee on tlie subject of n general bankruptlaw : .Messrs. Ruscoe. Coukliug. Kinchins.Tliouias, of Mass., Xoell nod McKtiight-

Henry Mavt of Md., app.-ared and ivasqualified by taking the usual oath to support the Constitution.

Sir. Holinan, of Ky., introduced a reso¬lution authorizing the Select Committeeheretofore appointed, to examine into 'lieWar Department contracts; to extend theirinquiries into the facts and circumstancesof all coutr: cts and agreements made orhereafter to be made, prior to a final of theCommittee by or with any department ofthe Government; that the' Committee haveleave to sit during the rectss at such timesand places as they may deeui uecessnrv,and that they be empowered to employ a

stenographer or clerk ; that the Sergeant-at-Arins attend the meetings in person orby deputy, to serve all subpiEtias: thnt til'sSpeaker be authorized aud directed to is¬sue subpoenas at the request of the Com¬mittee, as in cases during the session ofCongress.

Mr. Kellogg, of 111., opposed the exten¬sion of the inquiry, which could be author¬ized only on the assumption that some¬thing is wrong. He was not disposed toestablish an advisory and controlling board,in effect to have eight insttad of one headof a department. There was nothing towarrant putting the Secretary of War un¬der the ban of the committee. He was op¬posed to a roving committee without limi¬tation as to time and place. He believedthat the Secretary of War was faithfullyaud honestly attending to the duties of hishigh and responsible office.

Mr. Roscue Conkling. of X. V., brieflyopposed the resolutions, principally be¬cause he was averse to the appointment ofa roving committee.

.Mr. llolman. of lud., said the resolutionwas reported by direciion of the Commit¬tee and had his concurrence. He arguedthat it implied uo censure of the Adminis¬tration.Mr. Dawes, of Mass., as a member of

the Committee, said although he had notconsented to serve on it, yet he would tjotshield or whitewash any improper trans¬action, whether of this or any other Ad¬ministration. The country is tuil of ru¬mors, and benre' requires investigation..As the House has expressed the desire toadjourn 011 Friday, the time for investiga¬tion must necessarily be extended heyondthe present sessiou. Was it not better thatthe facts should be inquired into where thecontracts had been made, rather than at

great expense and trouble, bring the wit¬nesses to Washington ? If the House be¬lieve that the committee will not abusetheir power, the resolution ought to bepassed.

Mr. Edwards, of N. H, was opposed tothe resolution and to the object for whichhe committee was raised. It would bebetter to wait until some authentic or re¬

sponsible charges were made, before suchinquiries should be made. They shouldnot act on vague suggestions that possiblysomething may be wrong, especially at a

time when it was necessary to exert nil theenergies of the Government to put downthe rebellion. Besides, there was an out¬standing committee on the expenditures ofthe War Department, to whom the inquiryproperly belonged.

Mr. Kellogg again urged his objection tothe resolution, 0:1 the ground that therewere no specific charges.

Mr. Van Wyck, of N. V., said therewere specific charges of fraud hy contrac¬tors He understood that, without doubt,within two short months, there had been a

system of plunder which, for audacity andwickedness, had never been surpassed inthis connection He referred to the exces¬sive pay for beef, huts, etc. He charged 110

nays 42.A bill from the Committee on Com¬

merce, fixing the compensation of officersof the revenue marine, was passed.The House went into committee on the

tariff bill.The House then went into committee on

a bill to provide for an increase of the rev¬

enue from imports, to pay the interest onthe public debt, and for other purposes.

Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, offered a

substitute, namely, to revise the tariff actof lgiiO, and to lax the articles in the freelist therein, ten per centum, with the ex¬

ception of tea, coffee, fire arms, etc., forthe loyal States. He briefly advocated hisproposition,

Mr. Stevens, of Pa., opposed the substi¬tute, for it was well known that the act oflnr>I, even iii time of profound peace, didnot produce a sufficient revenue to defraythe expenses of the Government. In relationto dutie- on tea and coffee, 11s proposed illthe bill under consideration, they wouldtint be continued beyond the exigencywhich now demands them. He had no

doubt that the pecple would not object tothese duties during this righteous struggleto preserve the nation which has protectedthem.

Mr. Covode. of Pa., opposed the tax on

sugar, contending, from the amount on

hand, that the Government would derivono revenue from it during the present war.

The holders themselves would be onlybenefitted.

Mr. Cox moved to strike out the tax ontea 15 cents, and on coffee 5 cents per

! poumi.Mr. Mor.-ill, of Vr.. said he would vote

for :lie bill, although it did uot meet hiscordial support.

Without concluding action on the billthe Committee rose. Adjourned.Senate..Mr. Latham, of Cal., intro-

duced a bill to procure contractd for thespeedy transmission of munitions of war

to the Pacific coast. Referred to the select! committee on the Pacilic Railroad,j .Mr. Pearce, of Md., presented a mcmo-rial from the police commissioners now

; confined at Fort McHenry, who wero ar¬

rested and confined by order of Major-General Banks. The memorialists solemn¬ly declare they would ba.'e dischargedtheir duties impartially nod in obediencoto the laws and constitution, and that anyevidence to the contrary is false. Theystate that the grounds set up hy Gen.Banks is based on no authority at all, andthat Marshal Kane is a man ol integrityand worth, and that no body of men arc

less liable to the charge of unlawful com¬

bination. ' They submit that tbe proclama¬tion by which they were arrested was no

warrant of law and ask the interpositionof Congress in their behalf.

Mr. Pearce Slid the gentlemen were

known to him and he believed ibem to beot the highest integrity and faithful to theconstitution. He did not believe thatproof could be adduced ajiaiuat them. Thememorial was referred to the Committeeon the Judiciary.

Mr. llale, of N. H. introduced a bill CoI increase the medical eorp» of the Navy.

I.Mr. Anti onv offered a resolution fjr the

' establishment of a Naval Academy on< Narragansett Buy. He urged io a few rc-mar&s tbe «ppropria:encss of tbe site for

"-Salubrity of climate and locality and mar-. itiaie character of the peoplo.

Mr. Gr roes, of Iowa, from the Commit-tee on Naval Affairs, introduced a bill to

provide for tbe temporary increase of tbeNavy.

Mr. Koote. of Vt , said there was press-injj necessity fur the passage of the bill,'when privateers were injuring our corn-merce. The bill authorizes the Secretaryof the Navy to purchase or hire such ves-

I e!s as may be necessary during tbe war

J tu suppress piracy and render effectual tbe« blockade. It appropriates $3,000,000.f The bill was passed.. A communication from tbe Secretary ofI 3late, in reference to tbe industrial exhibi-' tion in Great Britain next yea , was or-''dered to be priuted.f The bill to regulate navigations, from'the House, with amendments, was takenup and the umendmcuts concurred In.

Resolutions from tbe House in relationto an adjournment on Friday were takenup and laid on the table to give tiiuc forfurther consideration. The bill to pro-vide for the better organization of themilitary establishments was taken up.

After various amendments and a greatideal of discussion the bill was recommit-'ted to the Committee ou Military Affairs.

! A message was received that ibe Houseinsisted ou its amendment to the bill au¬

i in pursuit and was then about 11 miles inrear of the retreating rebels.The.Star of this morning says there

must be at least 50.000 troops actually on

j the march under McDowell, exclusive ofhis reserve still resting in and around hislate encampments. From nightfall lastnight, the city was full of rumors thatGei. Beauregard had abandoned Fairfax C.II. without a gun being fired. No suchinformation of a reliable character hadreached the War Department to 11 A. M.to-day, though that course on his part isnot unlooked for.The division of Col. Hunter proceeded

doubtless by the Georgetown and I.eesburgTurnpike, via. Langley, to the neighbor¬hood of Vienna and there formed a junc-tion with that of Gen. Tyler this morn-

ing. The march of this grand column of,some 23,000 men started before day-breakthis morning.

Camp Woodbcff, near Cabell 0. II.,Va. 1July Utb, 1861. /

You bare probably been advised of tbegreat activity of the 24 Kentucky Regi¬ment since its putting foot tipnn tbe soil ofVirginia, an activity which has been at¬tended with such fortunate results thattrailing to starve tbem out begins to looklike.fallacy.-is it certainly is in WesternVirginia. .My last hurried letter left us inoccupancy of tbe troublous town of Guyan-dottc. We remained there but a few hours,a number of companies moving out to

Camp Crittenden, as it was i h-Ntencd, thesame afternoou the town was captured..C.tmp Crittenden was situated on theCharleston ronj, about two miles fromGuyandotte, and was pitched on tbe wheatfield of Col. Everett, uow in the Secessionarmy. His mansion adjoined tbe field, andhis family was oue of the few of tdnt per¬suasion that did not flee when we lauded.Our position there was not a strong one,

and much apprehension was felt the firstnight concerning an attack from the rebelsencamped some sir miles distant, at CabellC. II. (or Barboaiville, as tiie towu is ,

called.) Our rneu were aroused by thelong roll half a dozen times before daviight,mid formed in liue of battle on the parade !ground, and the pickets alarmed by strag- .

glTs through tbe adjoining wooded hills, ffired their j;uus and withdrew to camp.No euemv appeared, however, and the next

day our position was made comparatively I

secure, by the arrival of the balance of theregiment, whicu evacuated Guyandotte,' |leaving a small detachment to bold Ibeplace.Ouco encampcd, scouts and skirmishing I

parties were conatuntly sent out. Of allthe small detachments of infantry that leftcamp to reconnoitre, not one returned, al¬though we were always joined tbe suu c

day by corresponding parties of cavalry, !mouutcd on secession nags left standingin stables, uneurried and unfed, or rtttnb- jling through neglected fields. The most '

scrupulous respect h«3, however, beenevinced for the property of the Unionists,whilst they iu turu cheerfully volunteer, !both their chattels and their services, iu jour advance. Colonel 'Woodruff was, inthe meanwhile, turning attention to therebel camp at liarboursville; gleaning suchinformation as he could from scouts andloyal residents. lie found they were re¬

ceiving reinforcements so rapidly, that a

most vigorous action on his part would benecessary. He could learn nothing posi¬tive concerning their number, or the mili¬tary strength of their posit.on; but heplanned an .immediate attack. Accord¬ingly, at mid night, ou the night of tbeliib, companies A, 15, D, F, and K werearoused from their slumbers, nud placedunder the command of Lieut. Col. Keif,aud, with one day's ra'ious iu their haver¬sacks, they proceeded ou their march.after a short but stirring address from Col.Woodrufi. Tile column was conducted bva .«irouc Union man, a resident of Bar-boursvilic, who had been driven thencesome weeks since.

It was proposed to make the attack at

early daylight, but the deep silence ob-served along the route, together with thehalts to send forward scouting parties, de- '

ferred their coiuiug into sight of the eneuiv juntil the sun was two hours high. When !they did catch a first glance, if there hadbeen any fear iu their composition, itwould have overpowered them at once. 'The rebels were drawn up iu liue of bat¬tle ou the brow of a high hill, apparentlyinaccessible on all sides, aud commandinga view for two miles around ot a magnifi¬cent level plain, with all its roaus in fullsight, until they dwindled into the distantforests.Near the base of the hill wound tbe

Guyandotte river, and within pistol .-hotof their position was the only bridgewhich spanned it from the side on whichwe were advancing. Our brave boys tookbut one glance and passed on.

As they neared the bringe, they discov¬ered a large body of cavalry on the roadwhich wound around the base of the hillon which the enemy was ranged, retreatingand dividing iu order to intercept out

flight.a natural inference, but. a matter ot

opinion nevertheless. The rebels veryconsiderately reserved their fire until litehead of oar column had set foot upon thebridge, aud tlieu they fired a terrific volley,killing one uian instantly, aud wounding a

number of others.To cscupe iliis terrible shelving lire, our

meu wore douole quick iut-. the coveredbridge where the bulicts pelted, pattered,mill whistled like a leaden hailstorm.They rushed ouward, however, iiutii theybaited with such a sudden shock, thai itsoul the whole column into disorder Thepi.inks of ion ini ijfe bad been removedon the opposite side, and the mule 011

which tue guide was mounted had fallenthrough, ana he b.irely escaped sharing itsdestruction, by clinging to the timbers.Tue rebels, eucouiaged oy our delay at

the fearful impediment, broke into wildshouts and cheers. Fired by their assur¬

ances of Victory, our boys could be les-trained no longer; tbey answered withterrific yells, some rim to the palhholcs ofthe bridge, and discharged tucir luuskeisat their toe. and Co. A, led by (Japt Brown,made a dash ill single lile across the barestringers and rilieis of the bridge, l»l-lowed by Company L> (Itoodwurd Guards)and the remaining companies. As theyemerged Iroui the bridge, the rebels Hank¬ed and charged lrout Irom thu mouth ofthe bndge, to tho road which encircled thebase of the hill, and sent another bittervolley ut our men, which luckily was aim¬ed too high, and did but little damage..Our men t>y this time b.td all cleared thebridge, in total disorder, but blazing awaywitb excitement, veiling and leapiug liketnadmeu. They turned suddenly up theside of the hill at a charge bujouetts. midliterally dragging themselves up by bush¬es and jutting turf. They cleared in a fewmoments, rushed at the enemy, who had,as t.'iey cooiuieuced the ascent, Ured againwith ctfeCt. It was their last volley. Atthe glistening bayonets reached the top ofthe Hill, and met their wavering ga.se, andthose yells continued, which meant, vic¬tory if there had been a thousand opposed.Thu enemy swayed for a moment, a leapwas made from their llank unit rear, audthen the whole body scattered like sparksfrom a pin-wheel, down the rear 01 thehill, streaming in every direction in thetields below, ut full speed, with white fa¬ces and au impulse ol fear which I heardcompared to the frigbt of a hundred hors¬es iu a conflagration. Our men were toolireaiuless for pursuit, but they cheered as

only men who have conquered cau clieer,and planted immediately the stars andstripes on the summit of tho bill.There was some tiring at tbe retreating

foe, and their commander, Col. ilausfield,whb hit and fell from his horse, but was

immediately seized and curried oft' by i;i«companions, as is supposed others we'ic..They left but. one 011 tbe field, an old grayhaired inuii, whom we are informed, waspressed into the service, as luutiy of hi*companions had been, lis was taken cureo! by oor troops, but be died in the after¬noon.

The victorious battallion, Trhen the re¬bels had disappeared, murcued through thetown with tbe banners flyin<r, aud bund*playing pirn which the inhabitant* neror

hoped to hour ngnin. The Xj^oddivnn}bovs planted their dug on tl)e ijupohi ofthe Court House, and seemed to regard asa coincidence, that precisely two monthsafter it was preceniid it was streamingfrom a spire in one of the hot-beds of se¬cession.
