Just returned from Annfield, where we have spent a charming
day, with most delightful society. The papers brought us news of success in the
West, General Floyd having overcome Rosecranz on Gauley River. This gave us
great satisfaction, as we are peculiarly anxious about that part of Virginia.
We passed the time in talking over the feats of our heroes, as well as in
enjoying the elegancies by which we were surrounded.
