Mr. Noyes, of New York, (Republican,) replied, stating that he was not to be intimidated by speeches of preceding speakers.

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 order of battle behind ridges immediately in front of the enemy's position, where they rested on their arms until the morning. Shortly after daylight a runaway "contraband" came in and reported that the enemy had crossed the Gauley river during the night by means of the ferry, and a bridge which they had completed. Col. Ewing was ordered to take possession of the camp, which he did about seven o'clock, capturing a few prisoners, two stand of colors, a considerable quantity of arms, with quartermaster's stores, messing and camp equipage. The enemy have destroyed their bridge across the Gauley, which here rushes through a deep gorge, and our troops being still much fatigued and having no material for immediately repairing the bridge, it was thought prudent to encamp the troop and occupy the ferry and the cap

e. The war tax before the Kentucky Legislature. The following extracts are from the letter of the 13th of the Frankfort correspondent of the Louisville Courier: Mr. Wolfe, from the Committee on Federal Relations, made a report on Mr. Ewing's resolutions, referred to that committee several days since. The purport of Ewing's resolutions, it will be remembered, was that Kentucky should refuse to pay a single cent of the war taxes; favoring strict neutrality, and the acknowledgment Ewing's resolutions, it will be remembered, was that Kentucky should refuse to pay a single cent of the war taxes; favoring strict neutrality, and the acknowledgment of the independence of the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Wolfe's report says that it is the duty of Kentucky to pay the taxes — that under the Constitution she is bound to do it, and ought to do it, and that she has no power to acknowledge the independence of the Southern Confederacy. A motion was made to adopt the report of the committee, and the question put to vote but the House in a decided manner refused to adopt it. On motion, it was made the special order for some hour to-morrow. I be

but who very recently escaped to the Quaker City. The whole statement abounds in falsehood and vituperation, and none but an arrant fool could be at all inclined to give it credence.--The following paragraphs in relation to the editors of Norfolk, we extract from the article: The following is a brief sketch of the personnel of several of the most prominent editors of Norfolk. It may be worth recording, as an evidence of the utter insincerity of their devotion to their own bad cause. Ewing, the editor of the Examiner, had previously published a paper at Williamsburg, Va., but it had not met with any degree of success.--He is a native of Massachusetts, and his paper had been largely supported by the advertising of Northern merchants, who were made to believe that its circulation was something fabulous. Although one of the first to espouse the cause of treason, the people of Norfolk have no confidence in him whatever. The Southern confidence in the fealty of the editor of t
