barEor IN TIE FlGRr -Por the infor-
nation of anxious friends, We are author
lied to state that the First Virginia Infant-
~ was not In the late Eight, whiek took
place between Fremont aud Jackson, an
account of which appears in our telegraph
columns. 1t is known that it was the inten-
ton to halt Shields division, of which the
First forms part, in the neighborhood of
Winchester or strasburg, for two or three
weeks, and not move them within that time,
unless there was urgent necessity for it,
The whole division was worn down by long
marching, aud sadly in need of clothing and
equipments of almost every kind. The de.
sign was to allow them time to rest, pro.
cure clothing and equipments, and be paid
off at one of the points mentioned.
Besides Fremont's army, there is vast
force of fresh troops in the valley, aud we
do not believe that any portion Of. Shields
division is at present in the front.
