SPLENDID STRATEGy.-The operations OF
General Jackson, which resulted in the cap
ture of Winchester, formed series Of move
ments and combinations which have rot
been surpassed since the DAYS OF Napoleon.
Jackson was at Woodstock. Banks. with
his main body, was Al Strasburg, where he
was strongly entrenching himself. He had
strong detachment at Front Royal. Jack,
son made demonstration against Strasburg
with 5000 men, who advanced half way 70
that point from Woodstock. With The rest
of his army he suddenly turned TO his right,
fell upon the enemy al Front Royal. utterly
routed him, and took two regiments. Banks.
at strasburg, hearing the firing, stampeded
for Winchester. Jackson, however, was too
quick FOR him. lie Immediately set out
from Front ROYAL, suspecsing what would
happen, 10 cut Banks OF from Winchester.
The parties met al the junction Of the roads
al Stephensburg. Jackson cut the column
in two. Part fled to Winchester and part
returned towards strasburg. Jackson fol-
lowed the portion that fled 10 Winchester,
took that town and 1000 prisoners, aud sent
Stewart in pursuit OF the iugitiyes in the d.
rection Of Martinsburg. The part that fell
bark on Slrasburg. has not been heard from
but II il does not go over the mountains,
doubtless care will be taken Of il BY the
column or 5000, already mentioned IS de-.
played between Woodstock and Strasburg.
Let the reader look at the map. and mark
the beauty Of these splendid manGgsres
They are truly NapoleOnic. Richmond Dip.

FOREIGN INTERVENTION IN AMERICAN Ar
FAIRs.-The rumor that France and England
purpose to interfere in American affairs con-
tinues to excite considerable speculation in
the North. The Washington correspondent
Of the Philadelphia American, writing on the
subject. says:
Letters received by the last steamer from
Paris point most Enthusiastically TO an inter-
yention Of some kind in our affairs. One OF
these. from former member Of the British
Parliament, states, in the clearest and most
unhesitaiing manner, that Louis Napoleon is
pressing the ministry hard 70 join him in the
movement, and the published letters by the
last steamer assert that instructions OF the
same nature have been forwarded To- both the
French and British ambassadors at Washing
ton. The cause Of this renewed interest in
our affairs was mainly 10 be traced TO the
immense increase in the number Of poor
thrown upon the public charity, aud the fact
shat although year had elapsed none Of the
staple articles Of the South, SO greatly need
ed in England and France, had been receiv-
ed, while the supply Of these already on
hand was dwinding rapidly away.
From the tenor Of these letters the proba.

from Secretary Welles, stating that an addi-

pirate Alabama as soon as practicable, and that
there is no authority for granting commissions
TO search for the Alabama, or other piratlcal

The Chamber adopted resolutions, asking the
Government to send several war vessels to cruise
on the eastern coast Of South America.
