LATE NEWS.

interest has reached me from the head
quarters of Stonewall jackson as late as
Saturday last. jackson then had his
headquarters at Berryville and was there
in person.
His force was 10000 men and 60 guns
Gen. EchoPs division was with him. On
Friday evening jackson received the
following telegram from JEFF Davis
If you do not leave the valley at once
and come to help us TO defend Richmond,
il will not be worth your while to come
TO its defence at all. Jackson's reply is
not known, but his forces were not in mo-
ton on Saturday morning. The infer
ence is that he replied in the negative
This was the fourth despatch that Jack
son had received from Davis, calling on
him to come to the defence of Richmond.

November "a.
Such information has been received at
these headquarters this 2. NJ, as leaves
no further room to doubt that the entire
northern section of Virginia has been
abandoned by the rebel troops.
There are few Of Whites guerrillas
roaming about Leesburg, Mt. Gilead,
Martinsburg and vicinity.
Jackson has gone towards Richmond.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The receipts
for revenue stamps at the Office Of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
the week ending Nov. Dist, amount to
more than 81, 100000.
There is reason to believe that a reso-
luton of inquiry into the alleged abuses
in the matter of arbitrary arrests and i'm
prisonment in the old Capitol prison
will be introduced into Congress at an
early day in the session.
INDIANAPoLIs Nov. 25.-The conven-
ton of publishers adjourned this evening

Press and elected eight directors, Rich
ard Smith, of the Cincinnati Gqzette
President, and j. Medill of the Chicago
Tribune, Secretary and Treasurer.
Measures were adopted with view TO
the Improvement on the New York Assoc
ciated Press of the dispatches and espe-
cially the Congressional reports.
A resolution was adopted that an adj
vance in the price of newspapers was

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-For several
days past the Washington press has been
industriously strainiug to create excite
ment by sensation paragraphs in reference
to the proximity of Stonewall Jackson's |
force TO the city. Yesterday it was re-
ported that the advance of Jackson's |
army was at Drainesville, 16 miles from
the city, preparing TO attack some Of the |
outer defences. There is no reliable in
formation that Jackson was in this di-
rection.
A gentleman who came under parole |
TO this city represents Jackson still in |
the valley with large force.
Our pickets are stationed on the Mary |
land side watching the motions of the
rebel pickets and their reserves.
The Potomac at certain places between |
Harper's Ferry and Wiliamsport is still |
fordable.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-The Peters
burg Express Of the 2lst says il seems
now pretty well ascertained that Burn
side has withdrawn the bulk of his for
ces from the Potomac to the Rappahan-
mock.
We presume that corresponding
movement has been made by Gen Lee.
The theatre of operations has again been
and the Fredericksburg route
to Richmond, either feignedly or really,
abandoned by the enemy.
1t is hard to say what the latter intend
to do. Gen Lee has been trying to get a
fight out of them for weeks but in vain.
If he makes the attempt to get TO Rich
mond there will necessarily be a battle
and bloodier one than any that has been
ughtyet. Where or when it will be is
cOnjectured.
From the Fredericksburg Herald, Nov. 2Il
During the afternoon the impression
prevailed that the enemy were embark
ing in the vicinity of Acquia Creek on
Wednesday and Thursday. The Poto-
mac river was covered with vessels of all
sizes and kinds, mainly OF the trans
port order. That they were intended TO
carry off the army is an opinion enter
tanned by many. Enough of the army
will be left over the river to keep up APP
pearances. We shall be surprised if bV
Saturday night the main bulk of Burn
sides force is not well on its way 10 a
new destination, though this is coniec-
ture TO great extent. We understand
the Fedora prisoners captured estimate
their number at over 10000 but we
doubt the figures.

Vannah papers, of the 10th, say that two
abolition gunboats and one mortar boat
