F. Butler, of Massachusetts, was stationed here in May, with a force increased presently to 12, 000 men. A de tachment from General Magruder s army of 8000 Confederates was en camped so near the fort that they became troublesome. In attempt ing to dislodge them at Big Beth el, a party of the Union troops was defeated June 10th. 7. A force, composed principally of Ohio and Indiana men, was sent, under General M Clellan, into Western Virginia. He pushed the Confederates so vig orously that they w...ere beaten at Philippi on June 3d, and again at Rich Mountain on the llth of July. A few days after, at Carrick s Ford, on Cheat River, General Garnett, the Confederate, made a stand, but was himself killed, and his troops were compelled to flee. In the latter of these battles M Clellan was assisted by an able officer, Colonel Rosecrans. On August 10, Rosecrans, now made a general, assaulted Gen eral Floyd, the late Union Secretary of War, now at the head of a Confederate force, at Carnifex Ferry, on the Gauley Riv er, and compelled him to retreat.
