WAR:NEWs.
General Jackson's Victory!
!" StonewaU" again pieterious-He has fought
three pitched battles in three vssks, and beaten
the enemy.
The whole country rejoices at the successes of
Gen. jackson in the Valley of Virginia His policy
is the true one, and the only one to redeem the
country. He 6gAs when he is ready, and he is al
0ays ready. Its the only policy adapted to South
ern fire and energy and for Southern soldiers.
Ditching and delays hamper, discourage and de-
moralize Southern armies. They are brave, impet.
uous and daring. Turn them loose, we say, turn
them loose upon the enemy as Jackson and Price
have done, and our cause must be triumphant
The following dispatches give all the facts yet
developed. We copy from the Petersburg Ezpress:
The following dispatch was received by Governor
Letcher, in Richmond on Monday last:
I'VE gained great victory at Front Royal and
Winchester, completely routing Bankss army. Loss
on our side only one hundred killed and wounded.
Wecaptured the First Maryland regiment. one reg
iment Vermont cavalry, and two thousand other
prisoners, besides all of the enemy's stores, with
Winchester. The enemy are being hotly pursued
beyond Winchester, and are completely routed and
dsmayed.
The enemy attempted to fire the town, but were
too hotly pursued. We lost only three officers,
Captains Sheets, Fletcher and Paxton. We expect
to get Banks and his army"
On Tuesday the following official despatch from
Gen. Jackson came to hand:
WINCHESTER, May 26, 1862.
During the last three days God has blessed our
arms with brilliant success. On Friday the Feder-
ais at Front ROYAL were routed and one section of
artillery in addition to many prisoners, captured.
On Saturday, Banks main column, whilst retreat
ing from Strasburg to Winchester, was perced-.he
rear part retreatins toward Strasburg. On Sunday
the other part was routed at this place. At last
accounts Brig Gen. II. Stewart was pursuing with
cavalry and artillery, capturing fugitives. large
amount of medical, ordnance and other stores have
fallen into our hands.

Maj. Gen. Commanding.
RICHMOND, May 27.-The following despatch was
received by Gov. Letcher this morning. dated Staun-
ton, May 81:
Banks army has been completely routed. lie is
still flying in utter CONSERVATION. The defeat has
been worse than Bull Run.
Cannon stores and provisions are still being cap
tured by our forces
Skirmishing near Richmond.
For several days brisk skirnishng has been going
on in the vicinity Of Richmond. Confidence is ex-
pressed that general fight is imminent every hour.
The most severe and successful sklrmish up to
Wednesday last occurred on Tuesday, in the neigh
borhood of Hanover G. H. 1t appears that the two
N. c. Brigades. Gems. Anderson and Branch, which
were ordered to Gordonsvie, had been ordered back
to Hanover C. H. The Dispatch says that it ap-
pears that part of Gen. Longs.reets division had
been ordered up towards Hanover c. H., to open
the way to that point and that they with the brig
AIDES of Gems. Anderson and Branch, at that place,
attacked the enemy simultaneously. The dispatches
state that the 25th New York regiment and the
2Sth N. c. regiment (Col Lane's) were the princi-
pal ones engaged. That the battle resulted in kill
ing eighty Federals and capturing sixty. Our loss
only six or eight But the Richmond Dispatch
says that the battle continued to rage 6ercey and
expresses the hope that Gems. Anderson and Branch
were able to effect junction with Gen. Johnston's
army, otherwise they might be cut off. Severe
! fighting was also reported at Lees Station on the
| Central Road, but no particulars 1t was rumored
that Gen. Johnston had re.crossed the Chickahominy
to give Mcclellan general battle. We hope so.-
An early attack will drive Mcclellan back but de-
lays are dangerous. Give our boys free tight and
the day is ours.
