POINT OF Rocks, Friday, Dec. 20.
The rebel Jackson left Winchester or
Tuesday with 500 men, and 100 boats
each calculated to carry twelve men, and
marched to Martinsburg, where be was
re.enforced By 2,lO0 men. He was also
re,enforced by upward of 1000 men from
Cbarlestown yesterday
He advanced on Williansport and com
meuced to she'll the town from a position
three miles below it. The fire was re-
turned by Best's battery, and. both fires
ceased in the evening, after lasting sever
al hours.
At the latest account all was quiet up
there.
WilliansPort. Mo, Friday, Dec. 20.
Affairs in and around this vicinity are
quiet except an exchange of shots with
the enemy at Dam No. 5 and Falling Wa
ters. JacksOn's battery. at the former
place, including IL FOUNDER rifed gun,
has been eudeaeoring to destroy the dam,
which now seems to be the principal OBJ.
ject of his demonstration His fire is re-.
sponded to BY two Parrott guns of Knap's
Pennsy lvania battery.
AT the latter place one section Of Best's
battery has been operating occasionally
against two Of Jackson's guns. The de-
sign of the enemy at Falling Waters ap-
pears to be to distract our attention from
Dam No 5 The effect Of our fire has
not developed. The enemy's guns pro.
dqced DO result.
The Connecticut 5th Regiment joined
Gen. Kelly's command. and will report at
Hancock or Rounry iu few days.
Col. Kenley's lit Maryland, Col Muir.

Gushing section Of Best's battery arrived
to day.
There is not the least danger of Jack
sons attempting to cross. Deserters say
that he has been ordered to destroy Dam
No 5 at all sacrifices.
Col. Leouard's forces are so disposed
as to prevent any danger OF a surprise.
Last night party of the Connecticut
5tb and Lieut. Ricketts, battery were sent
over in skiff, and burnt the mill at Dam
No 5, which has been occupied by the
as stronghold. They captured
some guns, tools for breaking up the dam,
blankets. ETC.
Two deserters from Jackson's force ar
rived yesterday, giving some important
Information. jackson, it is said, has
been promoted to the command of the
whole valley of Virginia, He has five
