From Rosencranz's army.
The fight in Western Virginia--position of the Contending forces. Cincinnati, Nov. 8.
--The Commercial, by letters from Gauley, learns that the rebel batteries commanded from the west side of the river the road on the east side, used by Gen. Rosencranz's supply trains, from the Kanawha falls, which is a mile and a half below the junction of the Gauley and New rivers, to Gen. Rosencranz's headquarters, at Tompkins's farm, on New river, five miles above the junction.
The supply trains of the Federal army, therefore, have been discontinued during the day, and are run only at night.
The rebels had three batteries of two guns each opposite Tompkins's farm, one opposite to the mouth of the Gauley, and one opposite the Kanawha falls, the latter the most dangerous.
Nothing definite is known of the rebels, but their operations indicate desperation or great confidence.
Gen. Rosencranz has just received a battery of ten Parrott 10-pounders.
