SKIRMISH IN WESTERN VIR. GINIA. The body of Mr. Me P. Felder, of Houston count}’, Ga., was brought to this city, yesterday, by the 1 o’clock P. M. South Caroli na Railroad train. A gentleman who accompanied the body, states that there had been considerable skirishing in the vicinity of Cheat Mountain, and that the First Geor gia Regiment had participated in it. On the 12th instant, a party was out skirmishing, and having driven off the Federal pickets, with severe loss to the latter, divided into two squads to march around the mountain and meet at a given point, but coming suddenly together, they mistook each other for enemies, and fired, killing Mr. Felder, and wounding one or two others. 'I he gentleman stated, also, that on the 12th Gen, Lee started on an expe dition against the Federalists, and that on that day and the next morning heavy filing was heard in the direction of the General’s movements.
