--The condition the Northwest remains with no since our last. Generals oringLoring are within eight miles of a n of the enemy, which has been withdrawing till within a few miles of Huttons after part of the forces under s somewhere beyond Monterey-- from the state of the moves on board at last dates, we shall hear time of some decisive action in that Retreats and disasters art for as, we imagine, in that quarter. my turn now.From of Ritnawha Valley we learn that General Floyd who leads in the advance movement was on Sunday on Big Sewell mountains some thirty miles beyond Lewisburg and that General Wise was close behind him. The scotts of the enemy had ventured a far at the foot of Sewell, and a detachment of cavalry, under Col. Davis, had a brush with them on Friday, in which some of the Ohio swine supposed to behind in number, were killed. After this rencontre, the enemy fled rapidly. It was supposed that he would retreat across the Ganley, and probably attempt to hold some of the most defensible positions beyond it.
Gen. Henningner passed by the White Sulphur on Sunday morning, and proceeded, without delay, to join the Wise Legion where he takes command of the regiment heretofore under Colonel Frank Anderson, a gallant officer, who was with Walker and General H. in Nicaragua. Colonel A. returned his commission in favor of the General and accepted the office of Lieutenant. Colonel under him. General H. is an important acquisition to the Army of the Kanawha, and will, no doubt, acquit himself in a manner worthy of his high reputation.
The reader will see that we have not been very explicit, but quite enough to show that the enemy is now on the defensive in the West and Northwest, and that we may in good time hear of stirring events.
