You cross the ‘west fork of the Monongahela and tho Little Kanawha rivers, and the dividing ridges of mountains between those two streams, with no very serious difficulties, the road being generally very good. Here you strike the Elk river, @ beautiful mountain stream, which finds its source in the spurs of Greenbrior, in Webster county, perhaps fifty. ‘tmailes southeast of Sutton, The aspoct of the country is rogged and picturesque, and one unused to the level sur” “face of the North an@ West would be apt to regard tho @orrugated face of Wostern Virginia unsusceptible to the Mdustrial arts of agriculture, but this people have disoov- ered its capacities for grazing purposes, and have con: verted, many of {ts hills into luxuriant meadows and pleasant pastures. But their industry is of the simplest ebaracter, and their farms owe more to benificent nature than to the feeble industry of their inert proprio~ tors. The race of Yankees would have civilized tho rongh Seatuires of this landscape into beautiful homes long ago, and undor their oulture it would have been the most pic. ‘furesque and one of the most flourishing soctions of the West. I cannot say that Buckeye, Hoosier or Sucker farmers would have discovered any strong inducements ‘Yo emigrate from their rich bottom and prairie lands; but ‘ho New England immigrant would gladly exchatigo for ‘hem his own stubborn soil, with assurance that a few oars’ expenditure of intelligently dirocted muscle, to- gether with the influence of his little red brick school- hhouses and modest chapels, would convert these noblo forests into thriving towns, aod the hills into beautiful homesteads, This people produce a Surplus exclusively im beef cattle. They raise only corn, small grains, and Potatoes enough for domestic use, and hay for their live stock. Harrison is the best oounty I have traversod, Lewis ie less desirable for its lands, and is not €o woll ewltivated; and Braxton is rude and savage, with but slight display of the amenities of human industry, ‘The general commanding and his staff reached Sutton on Wednesday morning, and encamped on tho bluifs which overhang the Elk, on the position which was forti- Sed by Colonel Tyler, of the Seventh Ohio, in July. All around us are the summits of commanding mountains, subdivided into graceful cones by dark ravine, which xadiate upwards from the banks of the beautiful Elk, pro- <clucing striking landscapes, in which rude art and rugged nature are attractively combined. ‘The tents of the army whiten the acclivities, and bright steoi flashes in tho ‘sunlight, improvising most spirited scenic effects, i} \_ Sutton is not the sweotest deserted village in the word, Gn fact I have been disposed to regard it us asad de, | ei in the midst of 80 much impoeing scenery: but ts original features haye been go much disfigured by the | conversion of its street into ® stable yard, and its tene.

Col, Enyart, of tho First Kentucky regiment—which 3 com- posed of Cincinnati men—attacked aud routed the rebels, with considerable slaughter to thom, and with slight loss to his troops. ‘The town was burned in the melee. The next day there was skirmishing along the New River road above Gauley, with some loss to the enemy, who re- treated, and nobody hurt on our side, ‘The ruinpus at Clarksburg was caused by a cowardly picket, and the enemy at Worthington was an optical illusion. ‘There was no attack by our troops, because there was no ¢nemy at or near Worthington, notwithstanding the bold asser- tions of the Wheeling papers. But 1 presume that such canards are necessary to the public, and it seems that Western Virginia is their favorite roost, It is surprising, however, that the fifty-seventh article is not applied to the seary military men who furnish improper reports to the telegraph operators. Why should legitimate members Of the press be denied the privilege of reporting withont constraint, When no restriction is imposed upon army men? By general order three new brigades (provisional) have been organized in Western Virginia, and assigned to the command, respectively, of Gen, Hf. W. Bonham, Col. R. L. MeCook, of the Ninth (io, and Co . Sean: mon, of the Twenty-third Ohio, Gen. Benham is well kuown as a distinguished Major in the United States En- gineering Corps. ‘Col. Scamnion is a West Pointer, who served as Gen. Scott's aid in Mexico, and is reputed aa accomplished military man, Col. MeCook is brother to Brig. Gen. Alexander McDowell McCook, who commander the First Ohio regiment at Manassas. Col. McCook 18 not an educated soldier, bat displays many of the best quali- ties of a soldior—tact, talent and untiring energy. His regiment is suid, by West Pointers, who are familiar with it, to be the best now in the United St r tion, but it is justified by Gen. McClellan's admiration for it. It $s the First German regiment of Ohio, but it is known best as the Ninth Ohio. Every man in it except. the Colonel, is from Faderiand. ‘The Lieutenant Cole nel (andershoif) is an old German soldier, who lad a gommand in the Revolution of 1848. Apropos of tho McCook family. You know they have greatly distin. guished themselves in peace and war. Col. G.W. McCook, the eldest, was a Lieutenant Colonel in Mexico, where he acquitted himsolf handsomely, and subsequently be was elected Attorpey General of the State of Obio, by the democratic party, Ho is not in military’ service, Col. R. L. MeCook, now Acting Brigadier, was a promi nent attorney of Cinciimatiand his regiment being the first to enlist for the war, he is senior colonel from Ohio. Ho came to Virginia wich Genoral McClellan, and his regi ment was attached to McClcllan’s headquarters. During the campuign his regiment was always in advance, and did tnuch hard service. It reconnoitered Pegram’s position at Rich Mountain, whore it lost two members and four or five wounded by grape, and displayed conduct which won the admiration of tho General. jor Anson Mctook was @ captain at Bull run, and exhibited qualities which caused Governor Dennison to promote him. ‘The youngest, brother, private Charles McCook, was killed at Bull run, exclaiming to his father, who saw his son killed, and who begged him to yield, “Father, I will never surrender to a rebel.”” Another brother, who is a major in the Kansas brigade, acted as captain of a company at Springfield, Mo., and received two or three shots In his hat. Besides the five there is a blood cousin of the same name serving with our army in Western Virginia, ag a lieutenant, It seems that ‘blood will tell. General Beuham’s staff is organized as fotlows:—Lien tenant James O. Stange, Thirteenth Ohio, Acting Assis- tant Adjutant General; Licutenant 8, B, Warner, Twenty - third Ohio, Alde-de-Catp; Captain W. I. Mallory, of Cin- cinnatt, Acting Quartermaster and Commiseary'of bri- ade. ‘Colonel Scammon’s staff is as follows |. P. Avery, Twenty-third Ohio, Acting tant General’; Lieatenant Chas. third Ohio, Quartermaster; Li Le nedy, Twenty-third Ohio, Acting Aid-de-Camp. Colonel MeCook’s Quartermaster is Captain Graeff, of the Ninth Ohio. ‘The remainder of his staff is not determined. Ail the foregoing officers take the rank of eaptain. Another generai order requires details of pioneers from each regiment, to repair the roads and make new ones wherever ordered—a prime work of necessity, since we haye reached a point at which the roads have begun to be rough. Heretofore wo have been strprised at the really admirable monntain highways, but our admiration now begins to lapse. It may be that you wiil not receive another letter from ine until after a battle is fought, GENERAL ORDER FROM BRIGADIER GEN. KELLEY, SOLDIERS PROHIBITED FROM TRANSPORTING SLAVES, NOT THEIR OWN, OVER THE BALTIMORE AND ONLO RAILROAD. GENERAL ORDER, NO. 7. Heavguarrera, Disruer or GRarron, Grarton, VA., Sept. 7, 1861. The General commanding desires to reassure the jco- ple of Western Virginia, that it is the desire and inten ‘tion of the United States government, to give to tho citi- zens full and ample protection in all their civil and politi- calrights, and that private property, of whatever 'eha- racter or description, shall be held inviolate, In order to secure to the owners of slaves the most ample protection that can be given, as well as protect the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from loss and damage under its charter, it is expressly probibited for any officer or soldier to transport, or cause to be transported, over the Jines of the Balti and Ohio, and Northwestern Vir- inia Railroads, any black or mulatto person, the same ing a slave, unless owned by such officer or soldier, or transported by permission of the owner, This order is not to be construed to prohibit ofcers from travelling over the above roads with their private servants, provided such servants are free, or if slaves, properly hired from their owners. Any person in the United States service violating the above order will be severely punished. By commani of BRIG. GENERAL KELLEY, Gso. H. Crosman, Jr., Asst. Adjutant General. THE NAVY. ADDITIONS TO THE NAVY. PURCHASE OF NEW YORK FERRY BOATS, TUQ- BOATS AND PROPELLERS—-OTHER PURCHASES, The necessity of light draught vessels for naval pur. poses has induced the purchase of a number of ferry boats in the vicinity of New York. Their facility in moving forward and backward make them desirable where it is necessary to withdraw immediately from a sudden fire of the enemy's batteries, and thoir lowness in the water renders them bad targets for the enemy's shot, ‘The following boats have been bought:— Union Company’s ferry boats Whitehall (about ton years old) and Wyandank (fifteen years old).

PTcOBABLE MUTINY OF HER CREW. She is Driven Ashore at Trinidad ‘and Becomes a Total Wreck. STATEMENT OF ONE OF HER CREW, Movements of the Sumter Pre- vious to the Wreck, ke, &e,, > & ‘Tee following appeared iu our second edition of yester- — day: Captain Atkinson, of tho bark Venus, from Curacoa, ar rived this (Tharsday) morning, reports:—The Venexue- Yan Consul'at Curacoa had received advices froin Car- racas (Venezuela) to August 22, which stated that the privateer Sumtor had gone ashore on the Island of Trini dad—Port of Spain—about the 20th August, and bad bo- come a total wreck, We haye since gleaned more detailed facts concerning The Sumter, which are subjoined:— Captain Atkingon left Curacoa on the 29th ult. for New York, in command of the bark Veuus, with a cargo of salt, &c,, consigned to Messrs. Joseph Foulkes & Sons, No. 25 Beaver street, New Yeux. A few hours before leaving @ vessel arrived from Liconagua, bringing Carracas Paper, dated the 224 ult, and furnishing full and most authentic particulars of the total destruction the privateer Sumter. ‘The newspaper was sent specially totho Venezuelan Consul at Curacoa, it was supposed, for this express purpose, It etated that the Sumter was wrecked on the Island of Trinidad, and was hound for the Brazilian coast on acruise. The Consul was the frst to convey the tidings to Captain Atkinson, and said, at the same time, his convictions were that the information waa correct in every particular, Tn corroboration of the above facts, the Captain in- forms us that he brought a young man with him belong- ing to the crew of the Sumter, who escaped from her at Curacoa by jumping overboard and secret- ing himself in a private place until she lef that place, when he engaged with Captain Atkinson as a sailor, When the young man camo to Karn the disas- trous intelligence respecting her, he then mare kuown his mind more fully, saying that he thought that would be fhe end of the privateer, inasmuch ag when he was aboard of her the crew were ina most dissatisied stato, owing to the treatment they had received, He expressed also his firm belief that the crew had run her ashore purpose- ly, as they were worn out and tired with her commander and his movements, ‘This sailor describes the state of Now Orleans as being in a gad condition when ho was there. Those who would not go privateering were impressed into the army; and many were endeavoring to escape from the bondage they were in to evade tho harshness and tyranny that were exercised towards thom by the military and civil authorities. Before the Sumter left the steam propeller McCrea was fast fitting out to embark in the same privateering mission, and had departed a few days afer her for another route coast wise. From all these facts Captain Atkinson believes that sh® is a,total wreck, as well ns (rom the general conclusions come to by the inhabitants of Curdcoa, who appeared much gratified at the intelligence. ‘Thus it will be seen that both land and sea are uniting to dofe: the diabolical projects ofthe rebels; the people in ¥ Orleans and rest of the South are described as being in a state of the most abject poverty, and are only waiting the opportunity, according to the account given by this young and intelligent sailor, to free themselves from what they consider worse than Fgyptinn bondage. He evinces a Geop sense of gri and falling into employment with so kind a man as Capt. Atkinson ; and expresses his strong determination to ro- main in the employment of tho poople of the North. Capt. Atkinson also speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of his young refugee. MOVEMENTS OF THE SUMTER PREVIOUS TO THE WRECK, ‘The following is a copy of a letter recoived by Eliwood Walter, Fsq.,Secrotary of the Board of Underwriters of the port ef ‘OvRs00A, August 22, 1861.

The pilot reported her as quite anew steamer. Tho Key Stone State being fivo years old , it is supposed the steamer that passed on} assumed the flag and name to gain information for hor own purpose. THE SUMTER AT TRINIDAD, WEST INDIES: HER OFFICERS RECEIVED AS PRIVATE GENTLEMEN BY THE GOVERNOR AND BRITISH NAVAL OFF! CERS—SHE IS SUPPLIED WITH COAL AND LEAVES, {From tho Barbadoos Liberal, August 13.} At Trinidad the arrival on the 80th ult, (uly) of an a mod steamer, the Sumter, bearing the flag of the Con foderate States of Aimerica, cansed a good deal of excite- ent, particularly among the American merch You could tell,” the Port of Spain Gazette writes, “whether some ove of the eleven prizes the Sumter was reported to have captured might not be a vessel irom or to this port. Indeed, it was stated that the captain of one of Messrs. A. Campbell & Co.'s vessels, that left here some time ago, had been seen on board, ‘there were vea- sels bearing the flag of the Uuited States in tho Gulf, and others expected, the fate of which, if tho Sumter thought proper to wait ‘upon them outside the Bocas, conld not be doubtful. Anxiety was felt about one of Messrs, Dwight’s yorsels, which, it was said, left here with a considerable amount of specie on the 4th inst., and even there sectnod to be some fears of the Sea Eagle, now un- loading a valuable cargo, consigned to Messrs. C. L. Haley Co. The local authorities scarcely knew how to receive nfficers sailing under this novel flag, for thongh the British go- vernment have recognized the existence of two bojlige- rent Powers in the States, still,as far as we know, there has Been as yet no recognition of the Confederate States as a sovereign Power. We believe that his excelloncy declined to receive the offi- cer sent on shore from the Sumter except as @ privat genile. man, and the same course has been pursued by her British Majesty's corvette Cadmus, which arrived om Sunday. ¢ Samter came in here for coals. The opinian of the law officers of the crown having been taken, to the effect that these did not fail within the category of probibited goods, the steamer got supplied. ‘The oflicers and men Rave frequently been on shore, and numerous visite have been paid on board the Sumter by gentlemen of the town, and by them the courtesy and frank kindness of the offi- cers i8 spoken of very high ‘The Captain of the Sumter, tho day after his arrival, puton shore some prize prisoners (the mate and crew of the Philadelphia bark Joseph Maxwell), and ou the 6th instant the Sumter left the Gulf ‘au a cruise.”’ THE UNITED STATES STEAMER KEYSTONE STATE IN PURSUIT OF THE SUMTER. [From the Barbadoes Liberal, August ma ‘The United States war steamer Keystone State, 8, Com- mander Scott, arrived in Carlisle Bay from St. Thomas yesterday, in search, it was rumored during the day, of iho Sontliern steamer Suter, which we last heard of at ‘Trinidad, The schooner Express came in shortly after from Trinidad, having on board the mate of the Joseph Maxwell, captured by the Sumter off Porto Cabollo, who had been put ashore at Trinidad. He was received on voard the Keystone Stato, which towards evuning got up steam and departed. In the course of the day a steamer was seen toleeward, aud many persons thought it might be the Sumter. THE SUMTER AT PARAMARIBO. {From the New Haven Journal, Sept. 12.) Advices received in this city yestorday, state that the umter was at Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, on the 20th of August, in want of coals and water. ‘The Keystone State arrived at Trinidad on the 13th of August, remained only a few hours and sailed in hot pursuit of the rebel steamer, ‘The Sumter was armed with four gans.and one sixty-oight pounder amidships. ‘The officers of the Keystone State wore anxious to engage the Sumter, and would make short work of her if they found her, as it was hoped they would Go. Other advices express the opinion that the Sumter is bound around Capo Korn into the Pacitic. It will be well for our cruisers to keep a Jeak out for her on the South American coast in the Pacific, as she must put jn frequently for coals, FURTHER DEPREDATIONS OF THE PRIVA- TEERS. * A VESSEL AT SEA CHASED BY A SUPPOSED PRIVA- TEER AND SUBSEQUBNTLY BURNED.

A gentleman from Georgetown, Pettis county, reports that the army of General Price was encamped, on Satur- day night last, on the Warrensburg road, near Clinton, in Henry county, destined, it was thought, for Lexington, Another messenger from Sidalia brings information that Dr. Jamison, the Kansas Jay-hawker, with a emall force from that State, had fallen upon a party of five han- dred rebels, under the notorious Dr. Staples, and com. pletely routed them and killed their leader If this bo true, the most difficult part of restoring peaco in Pettis county and the adjoining counties bas been accomplished. ‘This man Staples and the Captain Magofiin, captured somo days since, have been the principal instigators of seces- sionism in these counties. ‘The same messenger states that Colonel Marshall’s Tili- nojs cavalry had surrounded 600 rebels, under Captain Shelby, a short distance below Lexington,and taken the whole forco prisoners, Shelby had two cannon.

The following despatch was recetved to-night at the headquarters of the army:— St. Loris, Sept. 12, 1861. Colonel E. D.

Winder, a Brigadier in the Rebel Army—General Winder, of Bladensburg—Arrival of the Monticello, de. A highly important arrest came to light this afternoon» which will probably involve the incarceration of another offender in Fort Lafayette. The individual referred to ig William H. Winder, a son of General William H. Winder, of the War of 1812, and a brother of Brigadier General John H. Winder, now of the rebel army. Winder is a man of fifty years of ago, or thereabout, and has been a broker and speculator in this city for twenty years. He was born in Baltimore, and has been from the beginning warm friend of the South. Nevertheless, he has, in common with his brothers, derived means from tho federal government, and built some years ago a large block of buildings on D street in Washington, which were occupied by government for pension and other purposes. I believe that the Winder Buildings, e0 called, have since been bought by the federal authorities. When the war broke out there were whispered doubts of Winder’ loyalty, and somo of tho detectives closely watched his movements. He boarded at tho Washington House, in Chestnut street, being @ bachelor, and entertained his Southern friends at private rooms in Eighth streot, Ho also joined the Reserve Grays, & home guard organization; but when tho oath of alle. giance was proposed to them, some months ago, Winder refused to take it. It was also shrewdly premised that he was associated with a brother in Washington, in cor- respondence with tho other brother, John, in arms against the government. Similar and more direct testimony, not yet ripe for publication, was obtained, and warrants were issued simultaneously ‘by the Provost Marshal of Wash- ington and Mayor Henry, of Philadelphia, for the seizure of bis person and effects.’ ‘The warrant from Washington specified as his offences an intention ‘to seize, take and rty of the United States government,’? and likewise “conspiring to break up the government of Detectives Bartholomew, Blackburne and Franklin arrested him at Ninth and Walnut streets, Atone of the up town station houses they made him ‘strip, and, searching his papers, money, &. Proceeding to his room, they overhauled a great quuntity of correspondence and private letters, rome of which ace said to contain graye matters and throw considerable light upon the designs of the Southern leaders in the They would make a pleasant appenda to the Hitchcock correspondence, ‘The fie ‘old.

Winder was locke up for the night, and the papers and effects delivered ‘To-day the same wore prepared for testimony, but it 1 probable that he will be given no public hearing, ‘The prisoner's family over to the United States District Attorney. is one of the most respectable in Maryland. His father commanded the militia m 1814 at the disastrous rout of Bladensburg, and to his want of fortitude was. the capture and conflagration of the capital by Ross and Cockburn. Ho had been previously taken prisoner by the Britis and confined at Quebec, under circu which would seem to sustain the imputation afterwards cast upon him. The old man died at Baltimore, in 1826, aud was honored with a very imposing public funeral. John H. Winder, brother and correspondent of the pri- soner, entered West Point asa cadet, and graduated in the same class with A. J. Done'son, D. D. Tompkins and Joshua Barney, in June, 1820, He wag immediately ap- pointed Third Lieutenant of artillery, and transferred to a Second Licutenancy ef rifles October 2, 1820. Ho resigned for a short time in 1823 and became assistant instructor of infantry tactics at West Point in 1827. In 1888 he was made First Lieutenant, and Captain in 1842. In 1847 ho wag brevetted Major for gallant and meritorious con- | duct at Contreras and Cherubusco, Some months ago he threw up his commissicn and was made Brigadier Gene- ral by the Davis government, Wo had beard no mention of him untilereceiving the following despatch sent to Major General Twiggs:— Ric#Mop, August 20, 1861. Prisoners of war are to be sent to forts in the vicinity of New Orleans. How many can be there accommodated without crowding? JOHN H. WINDER, Brigadier General ©. & A. Winder has another brother, named Charles H., living in Washington city. ‘The Monticello arrived at the Philadelphia Navy Yard late on Tuesday night, direct from Hatteras Inlet, and will be hauled up at ouce for repairs. She was rather se- verely injured in the action off Fort Hatteras, and her sides aro considerably splintered. Bits of shell passed through the vessel in several places, and some of the yardarms were cut in two. The whaleboat and gig were disabled and one shot clove the ship's eide, passing through the berth deck, paint locker, bulkhead, fire room and coal bunker. ‘Two of her men’ were torn with ‘splinters, and she lay for some time in shoal water, ex- posed toa raking fire, A couple of weeks will suffice to Fefit her, and she will go out with her old crew, ns fol lows — Commander, John P.

The Republican learns that bis mission was to get money and arms to enable him to get out the State troops under his proclamation, in which he was entirely successful, ‘The money will be placed to his credit in the Sub Trea- sury, and the arms will be forwarded as fast as possible.

Last evening Detectives Elder and McCord succeeded in recovering about $180,000 of Southern bank Dills on the Pittsylvania Bank, of Chatham, Virginia. It seems that the police have been on the look out for the parties for some time, and yesterday succeeded in obtaining a clue which led them to search a house in Thirty-secoud street, between First and Second avenues, where the above amount of money was recoverod. It was held by ‘a waiter in one of the leading hotels on Broadway. ‘The bills are very poorly exocuted, but no doubt would be very acceptable just about these times, They were got up, it is alleged, by the authority of Wm.

About here, save the din of preparation which fills the air, there is little worthy of allusion. I must, however, allude to one of the most extraordinary scones that the war has yet produced, which occurred yesterday at New- port News. While returning from the ‘tent of Lioutenant. Colonel Dyckman, of the First New York regiment, through the camp of Hawkius’ Zounves to the boat, my attention was called to a mass of soldiers clustering around a wagon, in which a gentleinan, whose face was. red with the exertions he was putting ‘forth, filling the soldiers’ caps that surrounded him on all’ sides with smoking tobacco. Taking out of barrels that steod be- site him in the wagon great handfu's of fine old smoki tobacco, he would ‘cry out, ‘Who's next? an when the cap was held up to him by somo candidate for bis generous bequests, he would fill cp, and call for the next.

And to watch the eugor countenances of the sol- diers about him, their postures and movements, is & day's journey. After the gentieman, in a loose blouse and a tall, broadbrim white hat, had distributed Stores, the soldiers gave threo times three hearty chi for John W. Farmer, tho weil known. philanthropist of New York. “He has been here some time, engaged in laudable object of adding as much to the comfort of the soldiors as he cap, and to this end he brings a large apa benevolent heart and an ample fortane. He gives all necessaries, and frequeutly distributes to the men the tuxurles of life.
