Gen. Floyd's engagement with Rosencranz --Surgeon Clark, of Col. Wharton's Regiment, in Gen. Floyd's Brigade, and Adjutant Otey, of the same regiment, reached the city yesterday evening from the camp of Generals Floyd and Wise, at the foot of Sewell Mountain, which they left on Friday noon. They bring dispatches to the Government. The former gentleman relates to us the following particulars of the engement at Carnifax Ferry: Gen. Floyd had warning of the approach of Rosencranz, and had thrown up a small earth work in the centre of his line, which was formed across a bend in the Gauley just at the Ferry. Some logs, rails, and brush were also thrown up here and there before the regiment, forming a very imperfect protection, not deserving the name and anything in the world but the powerful fortification spoken of by Rosencranz. For the centre breast-work there were six smooth-bore guns, possibly ten-pounders, and one rifled cannon. These had just arrived, under Capt. Guy,

no inconvenience to the General. The enemy's loss was certainly heavy. Rosencranz's first report said 15 killed and 70 wounded. His second raised his figures to 20 killed and 100 wounded. Gen. Floyd took six of the enemy prisoners. By their account the killed and wounded were from 300 to 500. One man said that sixty were killed in his regiment alone. The wounded on our side were Martin and Gross, of Captain Henley's company, Amherst; John Phipps, of Young's company, Grayson; Adjutant Smith, of Tompkins's regiment; and one man in McCauseland's regiment. Early on Wednesday morning, the enemy appeared on the river and fired a few shots. Gen. Floyd formed a junction with General Wise, and the combined force returned to Sewell Mountain. A message from Gen. Lee met them there about noon Friday, and they went into camp. What that message was is not known; but we may hope it indicates reinforcements. Thursday, Col. Hownshell, with 700 men, returned to the Gauley river

ed. General Floyd, ascertaining the number of his adversary, and moreover that four thousand, besides the eleven thousand in front of him, had been sent above Summersville to cross the Gauley at Hughes' Ferry, and to march by way of Meadow Bluff to get behind him, determined to re-cross the river that night, and at once proceeded to do so. His means of crossing consisted of one small boat, that could hold only one wagon at a time, and a small foot bridge, very ingenlously built by Engineer Frostburg, a Swede, attached to Col. Wharton's regiment. Every soldier, well, sick and wounded, was safely taken across before light; but owing to the absence of a large number of wagons, transporting stores from the railroad depots, there were not enough to secure the entire of the baggage, provisions etc. A portion of these were unavoidably left behind, including some tents, cartridges, etc. A part of General Floyd's private baggage, and also that of some of his officers, was with the abandon

Hownshell, with 700 men, returned to the Gauley river to bring away fifteen of our sick and twenty-five wounded Yankees of the battle of Cross Lanes. This he did; but finding the enemy preparing to cross, he ordered a fire upon them, which was obeyed by his men from the heights with effect, no doubt; for the soldiers of the Southwest are good marksmen. Floyd's defence was most gallant and his crossing of the ferry under the circumstances deliberate and well directed. His men fought with sig

Rosencranz has eleven thousand, with him, while four more thousand are marching by the Meadow Bluff to enter the turnpike between the Sewell Mountain and Lewisburg. Cox has five thousand five hundred; in all twenty thousand five hundred men against a little more than five thousand! If this estimate of the enemy's forces be correct it is indispensable that reinforcements must be rapidly concentrated beyontain and Lewisburg. Cox has five thousand five hundred; in all twenty thousand five hundred men against a little more than five thousand! If this estimate of the enemy's forces be correct it is indispensable that reinforcements must be rapidly concentrated beyond Lewisburg, or our army there will be compelled again to fall back at least to that point. We hope that General Lee's message to Gen. Floyd indicates the intention of that officer to carry his men where they may find active service.
