now an inspector in the rebel army, and
Mrs. Campbell, wife of ex-Jndge Camp
bell, assistant Secretary of War for the

correspondent of tho Tribune has the
following Gen Burnside has not disap-
pointed the amy. Gen, Sumner, now
commanding two large corps, is this
morning en- route for an important point

The rebels of this village in order TO
console themselves upon seeing this great
host march through their State, are cir
culating reports that jackson has fallen
from his mountain heights upon our rear,
and that we are rapidly fleeing from
him.
Queer, that two corps should fly from
one, and that in the direction of Rich
mond
All that Jackson can now get in our
rear he is welcome to have.
Gen. Lee will soon require the services
of Gen. Jackson in 'front.' if he has not
already been ordered TO join the main
body of the rebel army.

rebel port, iron-clAd vessels are expected
to issue which may threaten the safety
of Northern cities.
