Some of thu regimeuta - as many as tlie Virginia Central KaUroad eould take - went by the ears, aud the remaiuiug portion lnarched by three different roada. Among ihe latter was Evans.

Hinco tha advent of Jacksou's ariny in VVes'teni Virginia Ij is troops subsiated on half ra tious. Tbey are ragged and filthy, and made to fight only by their lïeaperat condition. Our depots of supplies ara held up to their famisiied viious, and bonntiful sup plios of every luxury is promisud if tlu-y defcat us The rebel suldiers are mere machines; whatever spirit and indopendenee they once possessed has been effeótually crushed uut. Alter beiiiíí driven in the swamps on his front, Juokson rest.ed till flarly on Friday Morning, when he again cinninenecd the assault on the front and flank of l'orter. ■ The forco of Jaekson, outuumboring J'orterV two to one, rendored ït fiecessary to withdraw, and make an cffort to cmss tho Ghiekahoininy, botvvuen Mcehanicsvillo and liottom's i Bridge, wliich they suceeedcd in doipg latu ,on SalurdiiV. Ii was u v 11 !;nowii fact that Oen. Mcijleilan was anxious the rebels to wake a demonstraron like this on his right, but had nut, if conrse, anticipated the coiicentrtun ol so large a rebel furee as that under Jaokson. I omkted to state that the rebel Lieutenant mfornied me the tho plan of attack had been nrraiiged iu this ïnantuT .- As soon as Jacksou attaeked ourright it was agrecd that bo shculd make the battle last all lay - success or del'eat was inmaterial. Tha day following: Johnstoii was to assail our'lel't, and lire day altor, Leo our centra. By fchiu plan tho rebels supposed vo vvould bo coinpelled to keep i our whole üue undï anus. not kn.uwing what part the rebels iutended assauliiiiL' uext, and so fatigue our army to sueh a degree tbat figbtiug would bo impussible. Gen. Jacksou dresscs in a priïale's uniform, is much torn and worn a3 the meanest suldier's. l:n battle ho is never seftted apon i hor.se, but invariably stands with a nmsket, or among the xoldieis. - It is impossible fur sharp-shootars to piek l;:m o(ï, f.ir this reason. Ho is fiieatly feared, but very popular with bis meö.
