Our correspondence.from the Northwest. A Years Advance Guard put to Flight — Cheat Mission — Lies of the Northern Journals — The Kentuckians &c. Camp. Bartow, Greenbrier River, Pocahontas co., Va., Oct. 2, 1861.
No new act in the drama so long upon the stage in the vicinity of Cheat Mountain, has yet been enacted.
No war, or rumors of war, in our locality is (as might be expected) trippingly conveyed from tent to tent by the double-geared tongue of faithless rumor.
No news, or camp excitement is rife upon the electric wires of information; but a deep, dull stillness reigns unbroken, except by an occasional courier from our advance pickets reporting a shot or two exchanged without up-to-date, the loss of a single man on our side.
On the 10th ultimo, however, the usual camp monotony was dispelled by bright an tions of an immediate engagement.
"A y of Yankee, probably one hundred, and supposed by our pickets to be the advance guard of a larger column, had the audacity gave <
From Charlottesville.the hospitals — the University — military instruction, &c. Charlottesville, Oct. 2d, 1861.
I arrived here yesterday, and thinking you might like to hear from so important a place, I hasten to give you my impressions.
The country around here is extremely lovely, and woods and fields look fairer than usually at this season.
The town is improving rapidly, many new houses are going up in Main street; handsome cottages rise on the outskirts, and the whole bears a well-to-do progressing air, as if the war had as yet done this great harm here.
Two excellent hotels are filled to overflowing mainly with refugees from the threatened portions of the State, and some of the larger houses have been taken for hospitals.
One of them is a fever hospital, under the excellent management of Dr. Davis.
A little way out of town lies a torture-looking building, called the Delavan House, filled with sick soldiers, under charge of Dr. Allen, another Professor of the Universi
[for the Richmond Dispatch]an incident in the battle of Gauley. Headq'rs Army of the Kanawha, October 2d, 1861.
After so numerous graphic descriptions of the terrific battle of Gauley, it would seem too late to enter into any details of the engagement, nor is it the intention of your correspondent to do so, but merely to mention a striking spectacle which we witnessed on the day of battle, and which seemed so grand to all under whose observation it came.
As soon as our pickets had been driven in, and we were momentarily expecting an attack from the main body of Gen. Rosencranz, the Fiftieth Regiment, under the command of the gallant and accomplished Col. A. W. Reynolds, was ordered to take the advance, which he did with his characteristic bravery and alacrity.
Almost as soon as he had assumed his position behind the entrenchments, the booming of the cannon and rattle of life musketry told too well that many a warm and brave heart would cease to beat ere the setting of the
From Western Virginia.
--It will be seen from the following letter to the Lynchburg Virginian, that Gen. Lee expected to make an attack upon Rosencranz about the time the latter's forces slipped away:
Sewell Mountain, Lee's Encampment, October 2d, 1861. Mr. Editor:
Yesterday evening we arrived here, after five days weary and toilsome march from Jackson river.
We are now encamped within two miles of the enemy.
From a high hill where our cannon are planted, the enemy's encampment is plain to view.
I visited the heights yesterday evening, and viewed the encampments of both armies; and from all the information that I can collect, the enemy has about 15,000 men, (though there are rumors that they have more,) and 20 pieces of cannon, pretty strongly fortified on top of Big Sewell mountain.
Our army has 17,000 or 18,000 men and 28 pieces of cannon, and are well fortified on the same heights, within less than two miles of the enemy's camp, on the eastern side of Big Sew

"And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: you, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.-- Revelations." "None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise." Farewell, farewell, a fond farewell!
The fairest flower must fade, With no fit trouts left to tell The mourner where it laid.
The rosehud blooms to fade away, The violet droops its head: They bloom in brightness but a day, Then all their charms are fied.
But thine will be a better part; For should no tombstone rise.
Thy name is graven on each heart, And virtue never dies.
Thy, parents husband, children, friends Thy warm affection know; And thee the loss their bosom rends, They still must bi
