Gov. Wise's Legion.

We had a few moment's conversation last night with a gentleman connected with Gen. Wise's Legion, and he informed us that the entire command was not only in general good health, but were sanguine that they would do the State and Confederacy good service in their mission on the Kanawha.

He told us that Capt. Jenkins, who was in command of a battalion of about 500 men, had an engagement with a Federal force of fully 1,500, and sixty of the Hessians were sent to their final dwelling places. The Confederate loss was only one killed and two wounded.
