" We have news from Stouewah Jackson's
headquarters by three different messengers to
Saturday morning Jackson is in full retreat
horse, foot and artillery. At SurrY. on
Friday, he continued bis retrogade movement
from Winchester, passing through Suasburg
Friday afternoon aud Saturday morning his
rear guard passed through Woodstock, aud
his whole column was moving steadily up the
valley turnpike.
BY forced marches his command was pro-
crossing from twenty to twenty-five miles
daily. He was going towards Gordonsviile,
by Harrisonburgh and Staunton. Yesterday
the last Of the rebel cavalry pickets were
withdrawn from our front, and to-day the
coast is entirely clear. There is every indi-
cation that Jackson retreat this time is real,
be having failed to draw our Generals here
into a snare.

ing up the railroad track. Also that when
Gen. Lee issued an order for falling back, he
notified the citizens Of Fredericksburg that if
by any inclination whatever they gave US in
formation Of the movement that was going
on he would burn the town.

son had passed southwark. Saturday night
he encountered a large rebel force Of cavalry
at Smokers Ferry, putting them to rout and
capturing then colors, eighty horses and a
