INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE KANAWHA. Gallipolis, Nov. 8, 1861. My Inst was was mailed at Gen. Rosc crans' camp on the 5th inBt.; but it inay not rencl. you. if at all, until after this comes to band, postal communication in these parts being of the character of the Indian's description of the white man mighty uncertain. We left the General's encampment un der cover of the night, to avoid making ourselves targets for the Secesb Rebels to practice on, they having possession of the heights on the opposite side of New River, and commanding tbo road from Gauley Ferry to Qen. Rosecrans' camp, and on to McCook's and Schenck's present position. The enemy being posted in such positions as to overlook our motions, all our expe ditions and movements have to bo made under cover of the night. New river, one of tho main contributors to the Great Kanawha, is an impetuous mountain torrent, the hills on the West Side forming n rocky (nenrly -perp. ndicular) margin of irregular outline, and of a lug it varying (rom 250 to 500 feet, clothed with timber and underbrush from b.ise to ?ura u,it?oak, chestnut and elm, intermixed with hemlock and yellow pine, thickly tilled in with whortleberry, sumach, dog wood, interspersed with the beautiful rho dodendron, kalanica, and other desidious and evergreen shrubs, which, in their va ried and commingling hues, at this season, form a picture of natural beauty that would be worthy tho painter's an or the poet's theme. . Descending the ragge.l mountain road in the quiet stillness of llio evening, leaving camp with n troop of cavalry-, dispatched on some special duty a distance "f-some thing less than two miles,-but which on our ascent seeming to be fully five, wui ar rive at the ferry, o.r cavalry party had al ready crossed; the quiet, easy talk oT the men, and as ranch so as posstblo of the wagons and horses whilst moving on to tho llat-boat used for the ferry, give a party so congregated the air and manners of persons engaged In some desperate secret expedition. The same twinkling light from the hill on the euo tny'o side still glimmered in the same place as seen on the ascent, informing us there were parties near who might saluto us with a welcome that "woultl be ftny tiling hut agreeable if in the shape of ? six pound ball. All nre venturesome enough to pnss this point by daylight, run the gauntlet of cannon ball and rifle lultef, but for the last week not more than one er two have been hit. Important movements were in opera tion along our whole line, and various con jectures ond surmises were expressed as to the policy of this move, and the probabili ty of successor that. The nnrabor and force of the enemy was another point a? varied and contradictory as the meansi of information and characters of the indmd uals discussing tbo point; every figure from three to twenty-five thousand were asserted to be the strength of the enemy. The conclusions of your correspondent from dedu-tions drawn from the same re liable source of information, were that be tween eve and sight thousand were the most probable figures. The great fears or the boys were that the enemy would not stop to be whipped, uur bora bate much more faith in the running Qualities of the rebels than their fighting ones To be ordered on an expedition where they nre likely to get into * fight, is taken with as much xest ond eboerful ga iety as the anticipation of enjoyment de rived from a frolic at home, nud there, is not. bit of doubt that if the enemy will only give our boys a chance, they w.il show them their idea of practical belliger "^Transportation across tho river, and we are in the vintage, town or "lement of Gauley Bridge. Under which of these nominative genders the inhabitants class their somewhat important burgh, your correspondent has no opportunity of know ing, nor the number ot its inhabits, hav ing to pass through each way in the night, bat of iU mud and beautiful inequalities of its roadway, we have a reminifcence likely to endure as long as the name of Gauley is familiar to our cars.? Much has been said of the amount of transportation facilities ofour ur mv in Western Virginia. One fact has more weight, as testimony, than any amount of circumstantial evidence, and to prove that our army is, and has been, la. boring nnder the disadvantage or insuf ficiency in that department of army equip m It'was stated, a few days since, there was but one bale of hay, and neither MMI nor corn in the whole of Scbenck s Brigade. Frequently the horses have been two, three ?r more days without oats or corn, for the want of sufficient transportation to haul their provender and forage. The fact was painfully corroborated in the miserable condition of tho animalsj what horse nature could long withstand tho effects of hard work, constant exposure to weather and insufficient food. Numbers of horses are now aboTe Charleston that could not haal sufficient provender for themselves, between Charleston and Rosecrans head quarters, to keep them in workup condi tion. If alive at all, the animals may frc queatlybe seen eating their own dung. ^ Secesiionism in the Kanawha Valley wm evidently in the ascendant unlit w? w?re in sufficient force to prevent its open avow**. Notwithstanding the oppression and tyran nical course pursued by the rebel leader*, the ireful iufln^nw is still there. Some of the women are especially venomous. In many instances the raeoare sorting in the rebel army, whilst their families and pro perty ia protected by loyal bayonets. Col. Tompkins, the owner of the property where Gen. Uosecrans has his hoadquar ter? is said to be second in command un der Floyd, or the force operating here now. A Mrs. Hnddleston, where Gen. Benham bos his headquarters, had ft son, a lieuten ant in the rebel service, killed at Cross Lanes. A little incident that transpired at Gen. Cox's headquarter*#, at Gauley, a few days since, well illustrates the true charac ter of tne feminines in tliese.parts, or, at least, their feelingBin this contest. During the bombarding, the mjstress pf the estab lishment asked ono of the soldiers whether it was their side or ours that were firing. The soldier unBwered by asking which ?? bcr side. The reply was : "The Oontejler ates, of coarse." And yet this family claim to be warm Onion people. There Is no doubt :that they are well posted as to our strength and movements. Oar linos are <00 loosely guarded and easi 11 man came into camp with a pa?9, andde sired to getao >ther toforwardhimthfough to the next, on the pica of being in starch of a horse which lie stated the secession ists hud robbed him or soma two months back. The ruse (if ii was one) did not succeed. He was informed bo might go back the way he came, but he eould pro ceed no farther. It is believed thnt the object of tho reb els, iu their present advance, if they are is strong as represented, is to procure a sup ply of salt, of which article, as is stated, they are in great want. _ On onr way down we called nt Gen.Bcn ham's headquarters, to see the boys of the Tenth, and found them all in fine spirits with smiling faces, which the boys gavo two highly satisfactory reasons for?first that they had been visited, but a short time before, by our amiable and most po lite friend, Major Johnson, whilom of the Gazette, who had worked till four 0 cloi-k in the morning to pay the boys previous to their movemot, they being under marching orders at the time. A government Pay master being a rare sight,and they having been paid instead of paying, to see tho show, was one very substantial cause for smiling (noes, and more especially when the government bills and "yellow bo}* were handed out with the Major s most polite grace. The boys unanimously voted Major Johnson the most welcome ?>stur seen since performing their job at Carni 'OIprovidonce pouring down all thoso un expected blessings on them so rapidly, o'jo after the other, almost set tho boys hoside themselves with joy; and I will venture .1 wager tbntnt the time nine hundred bap pie? fellows than the Tenth could not be found together in the Citizens' delegates asking them H tnjv needed any clothing or other necessaries, they answered "not a bit of it, but if you have got anything to bestow, giveit.to our wives and families at home, and l.od bli ss von." As proof of the generous character of the Tenth, immediately on receiving tlieir-pay.. the* iicwentod their Chaplain, the R?V. Father jHigginsTwith a parse df ?750. The Itev. Father is fairly worship ped by them, because bo can both figiit and pray. But to cap tho climax ol en joyment, with the-Tenth, they have just received orders to strike tents and prepare to march to strike the enemy, and 1 p?iy the latter if they only get at tbom. Kro closing our record or the trip to K i nawha, we venture a prediction that this country cannot be maintained ? In force through the winter, mauy milca abovo Charleston, except at a great socr.fico or men and means. I heard a soldier, who had served through the Florida war, saj , only this morning, that we had, 1,1 J-1'? three months' campaign in Western Vir ginia, lost more men from sickness, ill pro portion, than we did through the Florida war. The sooner tho Government makeJ preparation for wintering onr men in the Kanawha valley, the better for all concern ed. I have several items of interest I may forward you when opportunity serves; till when, I am Some Remarki Conoernlug 'he N"? State. Editort Intelligencer: . 1 see a reference in your paper of the 9th of November, to the vexed question or slavery, and the relation the proposed new State should bear to it. It strikes me that yon rather deprecate at this timo tho dis cussion or this subject, and would point those who bave any apprehensions in rela tion to it, to the fact that such men as Carlile and bis coadjutors, are interested personally in this institution, as a guaran tee against its disturbance or agitation. I should hope, on the contrary, that the per sonal interests of these men, or of any others, would not bo permitted to affect any great question of State Interest one way or the other; whatever they may be in connection with the interests of the State, thev are no more than any oth r men, apart from those interests, and their personal relation to negro slavery canto1, and should not, affect the merits of the question. Men much more ested, personally, in this species' of??P" tr were, years sinoe, active advocates ol an emancipation act at Richmond, he Iieat and centre, as it were of slavery, both ne gro and political; and among these wim one of the most brilliant sons and gifted statesmen of Virginia, tho late Governor Let the question, then, be fairly and fully discussed on its owu merits, as one of the great moral questions of the day, and loo important an element, politically, either for weal or woe, to be ignored in_ the fo - mation or a new State. It mastbemam fest to every observing and reflecting mind, that those States which, in their po litical organization, have excluded slave labor, and rest entirely upon free, have, with no other advantage, eithern? nral or social, greatly surpassed in wealth and population those Statewliicl'.howeverf* vored iu climate or soil, have been cor?ed, M in Eastern Virginia, with a numerous slave population. The principle of slave labor is consumption, not they have been found by aetnal experi ment to consume more than they produce. Certainly, then, in the foundation of anew State, and that right by the side of oar en erorisiog neighbors-the free Statcs or Ih'ii and Pennsylvania?we should be nost inexcusable in not taking into coo lideration the comparative Talue to aStaie if free and alftvc labor. If Western Virginia is, ?eer, to vie in ber prospenty with horsi,. ty States, Ohio and Pennsylvania, her so system mast rest on the same basis ?itli theirs?that is, on frea instead of slave abor. !Why is it that Western Virginia. finds herself now. in her social sympathies and in her relation to the Federal Govern^ ment, more allied to the free States of Ohio and Pennsylvania than to Eastern Virgin ia? It is because there is a greater simi larity and consequent affinity between their people; and this again is because they havo more..of the element of free than of slave labor in their system. Thero is an almost irreconcilable difference between the social character, bearing and habits of a people, where the basis of the social sys tem is slave labor on the one sido aud free on the other. Whero labor apertains ex clusively to one class in a community, and that an inferior and degraded one, its ten dency is to create a social aristocracy, a privileged class, whose highest distinctions are pride, indolence, arrogance and dicta torial assumption. These are qualities and characteristics which, however inflating and self satisfactory they may bo to their individual possessors, are not the true ele ments of prosperity to society, or of peace and aggrandisement to the -State. Such a system of labor will necessarily give rise to ji yery different state of society from that which restB upon voluntary- tahor, while, the latter, both in its moral influences njid its physical effects, will be fonfid more fa vorable to the highest development of man, ns well as to the most rapid progress and prosperity of the State. New England in her past history and present position, is a full vindication of the principle here as sumed. The first principle of ber prosper ity is the development of the man?phys ical, intellactual and moral, and through him that of all the resources of the State. Hence her common school system, and her colleges, arc the basis of nil ber social and civil prosperity?her commercial upd man ufacturing enterprise. She stimulates mind, and tho mind of her people becomes the prolific source of the prosperity of the State. 1 Forwhat const itntea a Stat* t Not bfgh wallod bat* Moments! Norcities proud, nor moated walla with lofty torroU crowned! But menl higlwninded men! men who their duties know, And know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them." These constitute the State.
