parties, the enemy had fallen back with all troops as far as Harrisonburg. In a dispatch to-day he says:

From information received, which I deem reliable, the baggage of Jackson's army and some artillery and ordnance stores arrived at Staunton some ten days since.

These things corroborate the reports I get from Generals Scammon and Roberts.

Asst. Adjt. General, Army of the Potomac:

Averell's division and Davis' brigade are on the railroad, half way between Warrenton and the Junction. Gregg's division and Buford's brigade are at the Junction. All are on the railroad. As we have not, nor, by being there, do we require to transports our supplies, I shall,make arrangements to keep on hand two day's rations of long, and six of short, forage, and eight of subsistence stores. i patrol the road the Bristoe Station, and have telegraphed the commanding officer of Alexandria of the fact, and requested that the force at Washington be sent out as far as Bristoe, where I will connect with it by patrols from Cedar Run. I am sorry to say that the horses have suffered considerably for want of forage and from exposure to rain and wind. A few days, I hope, will bring them up again. The railroad is in good order up the Rappahannock railroad bridge and to Warrenton. The construction train is now at the bridge. Three trains have arrived with stores.
