Information from the Shenandoah Valley, re-
celved from other than ofacial sources, leads to
the belief that Jackson's rebel troops have not In
force returned from the point at which they were
last seen by our troops. The speculations con-

taat be 10 repairing damages and preparing to
secure the wheat and rye crops Of the valley,
which are represented to be very good. The re-
ports about the enemy occupying the country
between Manassas and StraSburg, Ia any force,
are untrue. There may, however. be rebel pickets
at settlements heretofore temporarily occupied by
our troops.
