POTOMAC.

The news from Burnside's ar
my has been meager and unsatis-
factory. The rebels at Freder-
lcksburg were given time to re-
move the women and children
preparatory to its bombardment.
This time appears to have given
them an opportunity to be reen-
forced. Nineteen guns had been
counted, whereas at first they had
only four. Deserters express the
opinion that Lee with his whole
force will dispute the passage OF
the Rappahannock. Our men are
said to have suffered much al
ready from want of tents and
quarter masters stores, and We
are beginning again to hear thai,
terrible chorus, "mud, mud,

Re-inforcements under Long

have been addedto their small gar
rison of week ago, and formi-
dable batteries have been planted
for their defence. A severe en-

brilliant stroke OF strategy" is
brought to bear to supersede the
necessity.

following he was placed in command Of the small
"army Of observation, which held the upper valley
of the Shenandoah y aud the country round about
Staunton. 1t was intended that he should remain
quasi inactive TO watch the enemy and to wait for
him; but he soon commenced maneuvering on his
own responsibility, and began revealing evidences
of the stuff that makes good Generals. The higher
military authority at Richmond discovered early in
the spring that he was disposed towards such ex-
tensive operations with his small command that he
might get himself into trouble-in fact, astounded
at the bodness he displayed, they began to draw
the official rein on him; but jackson crpstly re.
plied-"Send me more men and less orders, or
more orders and less men," From that day they
trusted him. He pitched on Shields at Winchester,
but failed, only because Banks corps had not ad-
vanced as far south at the time as he supposed and
returning reinforced Shields at the end Of the first
days fight. During the night he drew off and re-
treated up the valley.
In less than thirty days he dashed at Fremonts
advance, west Of Staunton, and driving it back,
wheeled his army, swept down the valley and drove
Banks across the Potomac. Returning to the upper
valley, he manoeuvered around for three weeks-in
the meantime dealing Fremont heavy blow at
Cross Keys and thrashing Shields in the Luray val
ley-and then suddenly swept down the Virginia
Central Railroad, via Gordonsvile, on McClellans
right before Richmond Tho part he played in
winding up our campaign on the Peninsula is well
known. Almost before the smoke had lifted from
the bloody field OF the Chlckahomlny, we near OF

louisville. Cedar Mountain was fought and won
from Pope before he kneD has campaign toas opened
Jackson fell back, but only to flank him on the right.
Pope retired from the Rapidan to the Rappahannock,
hut Jackson swung still further round to the North
and outHanked him again. Yet again he gave up
the Rappahannock and fell back south of Warrenton,
and for the third time, jackson outflanked him
through Thoroughfare Gap, and at last got in his
rear. Pope now had to fight and he did fight well,
but victory perched upon Jacksons banner, and our
armies rest on the Potomac.

StOnewall Jackson.
The following review of Confederate strategy in

ular taken from the Washington correspondence of
the St Louis Republican, cannot fail to interest our
readers
The country must by this time fully realize the
situation in this quarter, and the knowledge of the
radical changes which have so suddenly taken place
cannot but administer heavy shock to the public
pulse. A little more than two short months AGO we
were besieging the capital of the rebels with our
best army, under our best Generals; now the enc

On the 18th OF June, jackson turned McClellan's
right and forced him back from the suburbs of
richmond, In seven days of bloody battles on the
ruth OF August he turns Pope's right and in five
days fighting hurls him on the Notifications of
washington. Thus, in two short months, the tide
oil battle has rolled backward one hundred and sixty
miles, and the position of the combatants complete
