We had barely Sour thousand men, four mountain howitzers and two bronze six pounders in action, white the immortal J. B- had six regiments of infantry, some cavalry and at least nine fleld pieces, six of which were sorved a8 long as they ' ‘were serv icoable, and thres were reserved in a distant Part of tho works as dispensable to protect the left flank. Here, then, we find at least an equal number of rebels, with superior artillery, in a formidable masked positiea, inaccessible in the rear, end intrenched and paliscded in front and on both flanks, sneaking away un- dor cover of darkness from Western “Yankees.” It 1s well for them that they did not'wait for our splendid little army. There was a rod in pickle for them. They departed 80 precipitately that they had not time to destroy their property ner ‘to carry off their wounded prisoners, The Union treops have since beon collecting the plunder which they were compelled to desert, consist- jog of sixty head of beef cattle, a large quantity of good commissary stores, much forage which the rascals had pressed, tents, blacksmiths’ implements, intrenching Wwois, axes, muskets, rifles, bayonats, cartridges, powder fn bulk, pig lead, great qnantities of camp cooking uten- suis, canteens, Jobn B.

In addition thoreto Colonel Wharton, Colonel Reynolds , Colonel Tompkins, Colonel McCoslin, Colonel Thompson, Captain Guy and divers other gentlemen of the Confede- Fate States Army, deserted parade swords, trinkets, “Love-mo-trulys,” “Husbands,” lots of Bibles and Testa- ments, which appoar never to have boon opened, except By mothors, sisters, wives or swoathearts; trunks filled with shirts, drawers and other wearing apparel, and par- Sioularly interesting letters from true loves and miscol- Jancons females. Thoy are all spread out in front of head. ‘qmarters at Camp Scott, and ‘The whole general camp, Pioneers and all, ‘Have had a goneral good time rummaging among the curi- sities of opima spolia, * © © Tho general feataros of the battle of Carnifex Ferry wore forwarded by lightning from this camp by the agent of the press. I would have transmitted details immediately, but the army courior: ame and departed in the night immediately after his ‘rrival, and no opportunity to forward letters was pre- sented. The march from Sutton to Big Birch river was wearl- some and uninteresting—utterly without striking inci- denis, and not s0 attractive in topographical features generaliy as the route described in previous letters, From Big Rirch, which we lefton the morning of the 9th, tbe march grew interesting and exciting as we proceeded, tho battle being a capital climax of a series of adventures. On Monday we soaled Powell Mountain and desoended tho ‘opposite side into Muddlethy bottoms, whero tho army Divonacked st nine o'clock at night, having been engagod ‘more hours than we had marched miles in accomplishing the trip. During the day we constantly heard of the rebcls just ahead, but our skirmishers wore never able 40 get within rifled cannon range of them. The women folks told the General that Floyd was fortified near Cross Lanes, with from five to seven theusand mon. Some of the rustic creatures attempted to terrify our fellows by describing the inaccessible cliffs upon which tho rebels wore perched, and roporting his prodigious armament. Dows in Muddiethy bottom our vanguard of skirmish- rs frigbtenod off a considerable detachment of tho enc” my, who had gone into camp, but were unabloto yet with” in mosket range of them. West's cavalry puraned, but tho rebels made such good use of thoir legs in the woods that they ail saved their scalps. ‘Tho First brigade moved again at four o'clock next morning, and the whole column was in motion at six. Parties of ekirssishers wore thrown aut considerably in @dvance, but they saw no enomy until about to enter Summerville, where they discovered a party of dragoons soudding swiftly over the hilis. A few shots wero sent “fter them to accelerate their speed. Soon afterwards a Party of Stewart's Indiana dragoons caught a glimpeo of a eouple of revel cavalry in green shirts, who rodo to the eige of Summerville under a delusive notion that it was still occupied by their friends, and gaye chase. Te was o splendid race, The rebels elapped spurs to their animals as soon as thoy discovered their fauz pas. Our lads dashod after them ata thundering paco, gaining upon the fugitives at évory jump, and in a few moments broaght the pursnit to @ close, the rebels stopping to surrender upon being re- minded of the necessity of doing so by a volley of carbine shots. They informed the General that MeCoglin’s Thir- ty-sixth Virginia regimont had retreated the night before to headquart The column continued to move toward Cxoss Lanes, within two miles of which Floyd was sald to be in- trenched. But the General had no definite information Feepecting his locality, and it was genorally supposed that Floyd was below or tothe right of Cross Lanes, We foit our way cautiously, however, reconnoitering the country: on red for the shock of battle, 1 watched the, men close- re ‘There was anne Me age biarching choeks; bu.

McMullen’s Toouwntain howltzers and Snyder's two six Pounders had also plunged forv ard, but did not get into position fora half hour, leaving less than two regiments to maintein the unequal combat, General Rosecrans himse!f, eccompanied by Adjutant General Hartsuff and the bulawve of his staff, pushed forwerd to tho front of the battle, and was od thenceforward in porson direct- ing the movements of the troops im the battery. It was ympossible, however, to seo tay gr in fvomt exerpting the battery and #he long line of the palisades, ‘behind which the enemy was snugly on- soused. Our own gallant fellows were banging away «lowlily in uneven columns from the edge of the thickets, two hundeed -yards from the enemy’s defereos, and it ‘was impossibie for them to maintain their lines in order, On account of the broken and thicket covered ground. Meanwhile General Penkam ordered Colonel Smith to deploy his eight companies of the Thirteenth, whieh were all of his rogiment that were engaged, and drive across tho frontof the enemy ana attempt their left flank. Col. Smith had already conceived the feasibility of the movement, and expected fine resuits from it. He was about to propose it, notwithstanding its hazardous natore, when theorder came, and he moved across from our right along the whole front of tho rebel feft, and was en- faged a long time in scaling the rugged heights botween im and the desired position. It was almost dark before he Rained tho point at which he almed, and his mon wore well nigh exhausted by their almost superhuman efforts to ecale the heights. Meanwhile he was ordered to get into position and wait a fival order to charge. Upon ac- complishing this object he ordered his men to lie flat un- der the bushes, and fire only at the word, or when a good shot presented itself. The merits of his position wore palpable. He was on tho extremo left. . Between him and the rebel battery there was a@ crest of a ridge, which protected him aginst their cannon, and nol a very large force could be concentrated against ‘himn behind their palisades, without endangering the rebel front. Besides, the thicket in which he was concealed was not more than a hundred yards from the hostile Nines, and the abattis before him was not formidable. Ho had presumed correctly, that a vigorous and successful charge across that jine would enable him to enfilade the whole left front of tho enemy. But darkness came on before the rest of our column could be got into position for a grand assa:it, and his darling object was defeated. While the action was progressing thus McCook’s Ger- man brigade and Seainan’s marched up and deployed in line of battie in the deserted revel camp, impatient to be ordored forward, It was after five o'clock, I presume, when I was entrusted with an order to Colonel Seaman to send a detachment down a ridge on the left, which appa- rently led to the very point which Smith was then striv- ing to reach. The roar of musketry and artillery on cither side had constantly increased, and the reverbora- tions among the mountaing were terribly grand. One would” have imagined that a hundred men were falling every minute. Seaman — inatantly detached Major Haycs, with four companies of tho Twenty-third, and they plunged manfully forward to the ecene of battle, After a laborio struggle they found the prescribed point inaccessible; but, by scrambling down cliffs, they got under fire at the foot of a small ra- vine, in front of the centre of the rebel left, where they were ordered to renmain at rest until ordered to the gene- ral assault. Colonel Moor, with the Twenty-cighth, part of the German brigade, afterwards prolonged this line, under a heavy fire, which cost him one man killed and thirty-one wounded. But darkness also cheated them out of their anticipated charge with the bayonet. Not long afterwards the Dutch brigade was ordered to tho front. McCook, with tlaming visage, passionately announced the grateful command, and dashed along his lines, and, scarcely stopping, but swinging his arms with passionate fury, yolled, “We'll go over their d—d and dirt ff every man dies the other side,” The gallant Dutch, inflamed with equal frenzy, rent tho air with furi- ous yells, and broke down hill on 4 fall run, the Ninth in front, Moor, with the Twenty-eighth, in the centre, and Porschner, of the Forty-soventh {a the rear. Porsehner rode up to MoCook and demanded to be placed in advance, but tho Ninth had the right by seniority. Tho Dutch continued thelr furious acclamations, and every mau on the fleld was carried clean out of himself by the terrific enthusiasm of the moment. It was @ spectacle hover to bo forgotten, But the gailant Dutchmen did not haye the opportunity to go over tho rebol “sticks and diet.” Tho General thought storming a serious auir and held his forces for an opportunity. Unfortunately, the nature of the ground delayed the execution of orders until darkness compelled a cessation of hostilities, and our brave soldiers wore rolnctantly ordered to withiraw, and they ag reluctantly obeyed. ‘The Ninth and Twenty- eighth, however, got under fire and showed their pluck, the former, in their ardor having dashed close up to the Palisades, whon the bugle stopped thom. They lost one man and ten wounded. Tue Forty-seventh were detained by order on the road, under fire, but bad no chance to re- turn the compliment. They have been swearing about t ever since, It is now necessary to return to the commencemeat of the action, to bring in more minute details. We jeft the Irish and tho Thirteenth under General Benham, at the Doginning of the Neht. The latter were acting then under the Genoral’s immediate oye—he boing in the hottest fire. Fart of the Irish (Tenth) ‘wero also with him—tho left flank under Major Burke. By some means Companies A, B, Cand B, of tho Tenth, frayed off from the centre, and the gallant ‘Colonel Lytle, uot observing it, at @ moment which seemed to him favorable for a eburge on the bat- tery, ehouted, “Follow, Tenth!” and with these four cora- panies only he dashed heroically up the road and got within a hundret yards of the battery bofore ae was ub- served. The rebeis poured murderous volloys into his dovoted band, cutting them down badly. He ordered thom to fall on their faces and fire, and ut that moment a bulllet went through his log and’ ponstrated his flory horse, which, becoraing unmanageable, unseated his rider, and plunged madly over the robe! works, and died inaide: Lytle was disal,.od by logs of blood, bat his note fellows got him safely under cover, though several paid dearly for it. Color Sergeant Fitzgibbons, who followed closoly with the “banner of beauty and glory.,”” had hig right hand man- gled, but seizing the flag with is let he waved it again, When a romnd canuon bail carried away his legs. As hd fell the flag was canght by Dan. O'Connor, who again rajsed it, when he was cut down, but not fatally injured. Captain party. who commanded the color company, sesing the colora falling, sprung forward and eoized them n he, too, Was struck, but his brave men gathers about him, and the flag, with its keeper, wero carried tocover. ‘The gallant little band who had ‘charged thus desperately was sadly cut up, and being unsupported, they wero oblige? to retire to cover. Had they been sup: ported by a regiment the contest would have ended specd- ily. This was the finest episode of the day, Father O'Waggins, Chaplain of the regiment, menfully stayed with his flock, and aeeisted in alleviating the sufferings of the wounded,’ Tho gallant Tenth waa laurols that day. gu hour after Oot. Lowe got tuto battle his regiment got soffirated in the jungle, and he was endeavoring to got his companies together undor flro when he was struck i the forehead and fell upon the ficld. A momont lator luis body was awfully mangled by aholl. Ithovght he was killed by a rifle ball, but it is generally supposed he was struck bya small grape shot. He died bravely at his post. After ho full Lieat. Col. White, a gallant soldier, took command of the regiment.

Their practice was bottor than that of the enemy, but on account of the rebel position on both tanks, not permitting a single path or ravine to bo passed without examination. At about noon the Chi. cago dragoons had a man crippled by a gang of rebel bushwhackers, who fired upon then from the crags on tho opposite side of Gauley river. A company of infantry was sont forward, and by a few sharp volleys the rascals were acattered, Yoaving ono of their number on the rocks in a condition fit for a funoral. ‘This was the first skirmish of the day, bnt it admonished us of the necessity of cantion. Pushing on over the Mountains the column finally halted at a road which turned off from our line of march to Cross Lanes. Until sn hour previously, however, the General was not ad- ‘vised of the direction in which he would be likely to find Floyd, but aboy, who sald he had been in the rebo samp, gave him information which led him to believe he ‘was uncomfortably close to a strong force, without know: ng where to look for a hostile demonstration. To test the matter the army was deployed on the hills in line of battle, and strong dotachments of skirmishers wero or- red toecour the hills and ravines in advance. While his was going on Bonham’s brigado pushed up the road to another intersecting road, and drove im some rebel Piekets. ‘The General was now eure bo was moving in the Figitt direction, and rode to the front, Booham ipermission to push on with his bri- gede and find Mr. Floyd, for whom ho has particular re. verence.

Rosecrans’ staff, will perhaps convey to the reader as good an idea of tho nature of the position held by the rebel General Floyd as could be gained in so small a Sketch. Tho movements of the Union troops are also cloarly showa. Buta slight explanation of the diagram is also neees- sary. First, as to the locality of the camp, Tho general un- derstanding was that Floyd lay, strongly intrenched, at Cross Lanes, the scouo of his victory over Tylor’s portion of n single regiment. General Rosecrans himself supposed the cuemy to be there, and hence the tedious work in soouting about to find out where ho actually was. The position was behind and beyond Crogs Lanes, nearer tho Gauley river ond nearor Cox's army at Gauley bridge. ‘he camp waa situated on either side of the road which crosses the Gauley at Carnifex’s Ferry, and runs thence on the east side to Ganley bridge, Its’ rear was entire! protected by the towering clitts of the Gauley, whic! along part of the line reach a perpendicular height of 350 feot, as well as by tho stream itgelf, which is here rapid, deop, and some 200 feet wide. In frent, facing the road, And enfllading it for a short distance, 'was an earth ro- doubt (marked /), 312 feet in length,'on which several of Floyd’s guns Were mounted en bartette. From this stretched on cach sido was a rude irregularly constriet ed palisade, protecting eithor flank, and sweeping around in vory largo curves to tho rear. Some idea of tho extent of the greund enclosed in tho camp muy be gained from the fact that the line of tlisado on the left flank measures 4,350. feet, While that on the right isof about equal length. The in: tronchments were protected from storming parties by rudely cut abattis, extending out for some distance from the fortification and around the entire lines. It will be geen that the rond by which we had to ap- proach the rebels passed through a dense wood for some distance, then at a sudden turn led straight up to the re- doubt over a natural glacis. Both flanks were surround- ed by donse foreste, ited with a hoavy undergrowth of jaurel. ‘Tho positions of our several rogimonta are clearly ind1- cated by the lettering. The Tenth advanced along tho road and received tho opening volley at V. The Thir- tocnth worked off to the left of tho road, and got up to- wards the enomy’s right flank at P, and oven. still closer, The Twelfth was intended to have formed nar the Thir- teenth, but in some way it got acroga the roed, and Lowo Jod them up towards the redoubt, fa'limg near, perhaps a little back, from Mf.

Seymou DEPARTURE OF THE SECOND BUFFALO RE- GIMENT, Atan early hour yesterday morning the Park Barracks exhibited a lively econo, as the members of this fine regi- meut were being served with their uniforms, arms and aocoutrements, which had been received on the previous evening. Colonol Bidwell was the busiest of the busy, superintending the equipment of the men in person, As the namo of each man was culled he answered, and ap- proached an open space towards the Southern apex of the Park, and between the two buildings. His equipments were handed to him, upon which be would try on his coat at once, and choose one that fitted. As tho men could hardly act in such an offhand manner with that article of virile attire supposed to be more exclusively the property of creation’s lords, it is presumed. the adopted the method of taking them as they came to haud, and oxchanging them with oue another, to ft in a more private and retired manner; but they did not seem to. be Successful in every cage, ag ‘some of the men had to turn up the lower extremities of their trowsers, On the whole, however, they made quite a fine martial appearance ut their new uniforms and their bright muskets, guiltless of “villanous saltpetre,” save in the trial to which every fire- arm must bo subject bofore leaving the mauufactory. The men all seamod to be in excellent health and spirits, and aitracted quite a crowd of peonle, who appeared to bo inuch interested in the soldiers; but the part of the Park where they were located was kept strictly sacred from the intrusion of outsiders. One or two young fei- lows were ebjectod to, on the grougd of nonage. These were ordered to stand aside for future oxamina tion, and, during the day, tuquiry was made, and’ such’ matiers satisfactorily adjusted. It was amusing to witness the ardor of the more youth- ful among the voluntocrs. Ono young chap, who did not appear to be eighteen, but who, “though a barber had nover yet smoothod his chin,” like the Sctoh Indie celebrated in soug, “with his great broadeword (or somo othor weapon) id’ long to begin,” roundiy asserted and stoutly maintained that he was twenty-two. His word was taken, and the country gained what promised to be- coms a first rato soldier. Ata little before six o'clock the baggage, under a pro- per guard, left the Park Barracks for the Jersey City forry. ‘The train of wagons was soon followed by the entire regi. ment, marching down Kvondway, fix abreast, to the tap of the drum. They wero Joud'y cheered all’ along the route. Passing down Cortlandt street, they arrived at the ferry, which they crossed, ad took’a special train for Washington, to add another oificieat regiment to the de- rs of tho capital and the Union. ‘The Second Buffalo regiment has enlisted as three years’ volunteers, or for such lesser term as the war may last, COL. STUART'S ENGINEER REGIMENT. This splendid regiment, which has been encamped for the past month on Mr. Foster’s grounds, on the outskirts of Elmira, struck their tents on Tuesday morning, and arrived in New York, por railroad, at half-past six o'clock Thursday morning. Having partaken of brealc- fast at tho Park barracks, they marcbed to tho Bat- tery and pitched their tents. The regiment numbers about nine hundred men, and is composed altogether of mechanics and farmers’ eons. Most of thom have been principally engaged on railroads, and various othor m chanical works. 'Tuo chaplain of the regiment speaks in the highest torms of the men. He says they are all {ntellizent, hardy fellows, and that everybody who has seen them expressed delight at thetr appearance and gene- ral good behavior. ‘The cases of drunkennoes in the regi- ment during their camp life at Elmira have been extreme ly few, and the moral bearing of the men has beoa in every ‘way commendable and praiseworthy. In fact, from aH that can be learned, this regiment appears to be a model forall others, both in discipline and morale. They art all young, staiwart, dashing looking fellows. at- tiroil in gray uniforms, and with a certain gravity about the expression of their countenances which belongs to those only who may be called true soldiorg, From the fact of their mechanical and engineering knowledge, itis said that their duties during the cam- paiga will Gonsist of light skirmishing, building bridges, &e., in which oapacities they wil, no doubt, prove ver $ usefnl. ‘The followlng is a list of the officers: Colonol, C.

About three weeks ago Major Gen. McClellan authorized Gen. Louis Blenker, commander of the German troops on the Potomac, to organize = regiment of artillery to sorve heavy guns on fortifications. The latter immediately despatched Colonel Julius Stahel, the efficient commandant of the Eighth regiment New Yo:k Volunteers, who made tho necessary arrangements for tho execution of General McClellan's orders, General Blonker recommended his dear friend and com- pauton in arms in the German revolution, Colonel Adam Bengea, a bye 2 schooled artillerist, to take command of tho new organization, and notwithstanding the short period that hag elapsed’ since the issuirg of the order, ‘one company of 140 men are already sworn in, and in a day or two another {ull company will be ready’ to be mus- trod into the United Siates service. Colonel Senges in- tended to forward the first company to Washington to- morrow, but owing to Major Vinton not furnishing the Necessary equipments, the thing will be impossible... In Philadelphia, Boston and other cities recruiting offices have becn opered, and the eight companies comprising this regiment will undoubtedly be on duty at the im- mense forts around Washington in about three weeks. Geloaol Senges is a soldicr of the Siogel kind, having fought in the revolution of ’48, under this favorite and ac- complished officer. Beinga graduate of the Military In- stitute of Baden, and having seen considerable active ser- vice, the groatest confidence {s roposed in the Colonol, and recruits are fast flocking to his standard.

BANNER PRESENTATION AT PALACE GARDEN. Yesterday afternoon Palace Garden, the headquarters of the Shopard Rifles, was densely thronged with a large assemblage of the friends of the regiment, inclading a large numbor of ladies, on the occasion of the presenta- tion of & handsome stand of colors consisting of a ban- ner, with two guile colors, the gift of Colonel Shopard, after whom the corps is named. The men wore drawn up in hollow square before the platform, and the Hon. F. A. Conkling was callet to the chair, assuming it with some appiopriste remarks, and introducing Colonel She- pard, who then formally presented the colors in a speech which was replete with patriotic sentiments and advice to the soldiers. Colonel Ferrero received them, the band playing The Siar Spangied Banner.” After some re- inarks by the Colonel the colors were given into the charge of the rogimont, and the exercigcs closed with an invocation and benediction by the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock. ‘The principal or large banner is of bandsome silk, with cord and tassels, and has inscribed on it tho words « Shepard Rifles.” THE THIRD IRISH VOLUNTEERS. ‘This regiment, which has boon encamped in the Quaran tine grounds for some time past, has been rapidly filling up, and is now nearly completed.
