[Numbers 13.]

Numbers 14.]General W. S. ROSECRANS,
Sutton, Va.:
Your Numbers 28 just received. Have drawn in my advance in front with a view to get Wise as far this way as possible, and will try to provoke him to come this side of Hawk's Nest with his force. I think he is at mouth of Sunday road, unless he has backed out since yesterday. I am annoyed that my Gauley scouts do not get in.

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

His forces occupy about 300 tents, all except officers' being the common tent. Some may be in houses, but probably not many. This would make his force not more than 2,500, I think, and will agree with the story of wounded prisoners. We have credible information that they made the attack of the 3rd on the New River side with two regiments infantry and one of cavalry. Three regimental colors are flying in their camp. These facts corroborate the prisoners' story that their attack was
