The Times Washington despatch says
Il is considered certain that highly impos-
tant army movements are either il pro
gress or completed, but il is not regarded
as proper yet to indicate their nature
Much more cheerful Impressions are pre-
vailing concerning Gen. Pope's engage
ment. Jaokson's retreat is known here TO
have been a necessity. de had evidently
become aware Of the trap into which he
was being beguiled, and retreated to escape
the danger which the execution Of our
plans tareatened His eye was on Fred
ericksburg as we'll as Cuipepper. The bet
ter opinion here Is that all Is going well
with Pope's army, and that there is no rea-
son for the approximations expressed yes
terday and to-day. Wen Informed persons
declare that Pope will be in Gordonsville
by Saturday, at furthest though perhaps
not without Sighting, which may be going
on now.
Tribune sorresponds sncestates that when
the rebels fell back yesterday, in their re-
treah II is asserted BY our men recently

the force taking the road TO Stannardsville

Tribune states tha& expedition from Burn
sides division, on Wednesday last made
descent on the Va c. r. r., at Fredericks-
vile Station, took up so lengths of rail,
cut the telegraph, burning the poles and
wire, and blew up the road bed with pow
der. A large lot of new rails which
were piled alongside the track, were made
into a baFrieade across the rosd-bed, and
warped by kindling large fires under and
about them
Cos. G, Capt. Gwinter, Il, Capt. Nc

went down TO the station and destroyed
the water tank, telegraph wire, and 5000
bushels Of grain and large lot of whisky
and other army stores which were await
ing transportation to the enemy at Cor
louisville. This force was in command OF
the brave and dashing Lieut.. Col. Kilpat-
rick, who commanded in the recent bril-
liant raid to Beaver Dam. Adjutant Ben
jamin Gregory with a party was sent
down to near Bumpas Turnout to blow up
the track and switches, which was accom-
plished in the most thorough and satisfac-
tory manner. AT this point the water
tanks and depot we're Burned. The track
was destroyed and small eulvert was
blown up with powder A little further
on the track was barrioaded with new
rails, rendered useless BY burning, as were
those above FrederieksVille. Hearing that
three trains were expected up with troops
from Richmond, the expedition commenced
its return march. The large bridge over
the Pamunkey was burned 20 prevent the
enemy from following up.
