Soldiers of the Army of the Kanawha: The campaign in the Western portion of this State is now, as far as you are concerned, ended. At its close you can review it with pride and satisfaction.

You first encountered the enemy five months since on his unobstructed march into the interior of the State. From that time until recalled from the field, you were engaged in perpetual warfare with him. Hard contested battles and skirmishes were matters of almost daily occurrence. Nor is it to be forgotten that laborious and arduous marches by day and by night were necessary, not only as furnishing you the opportunity of fighting there, but of baffling the foe at different points upon the march of invasion. And it is a fact which entitle you to the warm congratulations

n her hour of peril, appeals to Virginia, her mother, and to her sisters, for succor. This appeal is not unheeded by their gallant sons. The foot of the oppressor is upon her. Trusting in the cause of justice, we go to her relief, and with the help of Him who is its author, we will do our part in hurling back and chastising the oppressor who is desecrating her soil. Soldiers your country — your friends whom you leave behind you — will expect you, in your new field of labor, to do your duty. Remember that the eyes of the country are upon you, and that upon your action, in part, depends the result of the greatest struggle the world ever saw, involving not only your freedom, your property, and your lives, but the fate of political liberty everywhere. Remembering this and relying upon Him who controls the destinies of nations, as of individuals, you need not fear the result. By order. Brig.-General John B. Floyd. H. B.

Dispatches were also received in the city yesterday afternoon, stating that a fleet of twelve gun-boats had passed up North Edisto Inlet as far as White Point, and had made a demonstration on our forces under the command of Gen. Evans. The latter had telegraphed for reinforcements, which were immediately ordered to him both from Gen.Lee and Gen. Ripley. A fight at that point is imminent, as it is thought the enemy's intention was to get possession of the railroad about eight miles distant. Passengers by the Savannah road Thursday afternoon, report the enemy as having attempted a leading Wednesday night at Hudson's Landing, Red Bluff and Mar's Bluff, under cover of their gun-boats.

A detachment of the North Carolina Artillery and Colonel DeSaussure's regiment, had been ordered to reinforce our troops in that direction. We also learn from passengers by the Savannah road, of the crippling of another of the enemy's gun-boats Wednesday afternoon. A detachment of Captain Moore's North Carolina Artillery, under the command of Lieut. Baker, fired on one of these roving crafts at Buckingham Point, with good effect, and inflicting serious damage to the vessel. The wheel-house was knocked away, and the splinters were seen to fly in every direction. This vessel afterwards drifted with the tide towards Hilton Hand Shore, and is now lying up high and dry, completely disable. After running on shore, those on board sent up rockets as a signal of distress. The fancy craft returned our fire for a time, but without doing any damag

s Island. A gentleman who left James's Island at half-past 4 and arrived in the city at 7 o'clock last evening, reports that the heavy firing was caused by the enemy, who made a demonstration and exchanged a few shots with our battery on Cole's Island, with a view, it is supposed, of tasting the range of our guns. The attack was commenced by the enemy with one gun-boat and two barges, about a quarter to 3 o'clock, and had ceased when our informant left. No damage was done to our side towards Hilton Hand Shore, and is now lying up high and dry, completely disable. After running on shore, those on board sent up rockets as a signal of distress. The fancy craft returned our fire for a time, but without doing any damage. Later. Since writing the above, we learn that the first steamer that drew off returned at a late hour in the evening, in company with four others, and anchored immediately opposite Cole's Island. It is supposed that an attack is intended this morning.
