Recent Mowments of the Rebel General Jackson—What are Hts Designs?— Does he Contemplate an Invasion of Penn- sylvania?—His Initructions from the Rebel Government, de. , de. The resolution just adopted by the House of Representa tives, requesting of tho Secretary of War information es t wet! er and when the Baltimore and Olio Railroad ean be placed under military protection, so ‘hat the com- 'y mag be enabled to p ‘it im running order, can be ani by referring to the events of tho last four i; accounts of these have been so and contradictory as to require a connected and ‘verified narrative. It in-tdle to disguise the fact that every military move- ment on the part of the rebel army of tlc Potomac has ‘doen made im pursuance of & regul:r systematic plan. ‘At is of the highest importance, there ore, to ascertain ‘what part of that plan it is in pursuance of which Gene- val Jackson has driven the small force of Union troops from Bath and Romney, shelled the town of Hancock, destroyed a second time the freshly reconstructed track @f the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, burned the new ‘bridges and blown up the new culve'ts, carried off the mew iron of the rails,and is now operating # mevhore mear Romney. All this he has done since the beginning ef the present month. He has been assigned to the spe ial service which ho is now discharging directly by the rebel government, and, although he is 11:0 tant com maunication with General Beauregard, and scis in ccncert with him, yet he is not subject to his orders. His force heap Been variously stated. At first. when he began t+ move from Winchester towards Martinsburg, it was su posed it might amount to 5,000 men, half starved a:.d illy ‘lad, as the rebols are always represented. After he chad reached Martinsburg, and wos wivancing towards Bath, it was discovered thit he ha: 10,000 men; but it ‘was said only part of them were regulis, and it wa enly the regulars who were armed. After he had shelled ‘Hancock and was marching on Romney, it was sappcse! ‘that he might have seventeen regiments, or about fifteen thousand mer, ‘ilef.t is, he has under his immediate orders at least ‘w-nty t cusand well disciplined and ef- fective troops, His orders were to clear that part of Vir- ginia between Harper's Ferry and the wostern line of ‘Maryland of the presence of Union troops ; to destroy ‘whatever part of the Baltimore ard Ohio Railroad might have been rebuilt, between the south branch of the I'o ‘tomac river and Hancock; and to prevent the reconstruc- tion of that road at all hazards. Also to retain possession @f the country up asfar as the Potomac river, fighting whenever necessary, a8 long as the Union forces sent ‘against him were not superior to his own. In that case hhe was ordered to retire towards General Beauregari!’s Jef wing, at Goose creek, but to make a stand on the right ‘dank of that stream, no matter what might be the strength of the Union troops. In pursuance of thes erders, General Jackson advanced from Strasburg to Wiu- ‘Bester, and from Winchester towards Martinsburg. It eee then nearly the end of December; but the roads still good and the weather mild for the season. to that time the reconstruction of the Baltimore and bso Railroad between Cumberian@ and Hancock was proceeding vigorously, in pursuance of the military plans indicated in my letters of October 15 and 11. At the time General Jackson began bis march towards Martinsburg, the Fifth and Fourteenth Connecticut regi- ‘ments were at Hancock, and 600 cavalry with two pieces @f cannon, at Bath. The telegraph had just sent all over ‘the country the comfortable assurance that ‘the route of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is completely guarded, and all ia safe.” On the 8d of January, the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania regiment and the Thirty-ninth Illinois regi- ‘ment were sent to Bath; but the whole Union force was Griven from that place on the 4th, after a sharp skir- mish, im which the Union troops behaved most gallantly. ‘The latter retreated across the Potomac into Maryland, Jeaving thirty prisoners in the hands of the rebels, ‘These prisoners, after being closely questioned by ‘General Jackson, were sent down to Richmond, where they are now. On the Ist of January the Fifth Con- pecticut regiment were ordered from Hancock to Frefe- riek city, and the Massachusetts Thirteenth were @edered back to Williamsport. The rotreat of the Mittle force of Union troops from Bath to Hancock on the 4th ef January was conducted in excellent order , although in ‘the face of a vastly superior rebel forec, and reflects the Greatest credit om the officers in command. The rebelg pursued to Hancock, ana on Sunday morning General Jackson sent Colonel Ashby, a cavalry officer, over tho Fiver with a flag of truce. Be informed the Mayor of ‘the town that General Jackson intended to cross the Potomac at that point, and unless the Union troops evacu- ated Hancock immediately he would bombard the town, {and would begin to do so one hour after Colonel Ashby returned. The women and children were seat toa place ef safety, and the cannonading began, and was kept up ‘with spirit on both sides. On Monday, January 6, Gone- ral Jackson’s men began to tear up and carry away the rails of the road, and on the 7th he returned to Bath: ‘They then burned and destroyed all the bridges and cul- ‘verts over and near the Cacapon river. Thoy took aw: @mough railroad iron to finish the railroad botween Win- chester and Strasburg. The men who burned the bridge over the Great Cacapon river were se1.$ to do the same (o the bridge over the Littie Cacapon, fifteen miles further ‘west; but it is said that it is only injured,and can bo repaired. Leaving the greater part of bi: force at Bath, Genera; Jackson moved upon Romney with 10,000 troops. He ar. Fived at and entered that piace without opposition on Saturday, January 11. On hearing of bis approach, Gen. ‘Lander evacuated Romney on the 10th, and retreated to- wards Cumberland. While this retrograde movement ‘was being matte by Gen. Lander, large bodies of troop* ‘were boing prepared for bis arsistance.’ On Friday’ January 10, the Governor of Ohio received a telegraphic despatch from Washington, tnforming him that there was an urgent necessity for more troops in WW. stern Virginia, without an instant’s ‘elay. The + oyornor replied on Saturday morning that 12,000 Ohio tr-opr, including a regiment of cavairy, would be ready tostart on Sunday Bight. But on Friday night Gen. McClellan had received @ despatch from Gen. Lander, stating that he had evacu ated Romney. As the additional troops had been wanted for the defence of that place, Gen. McClellan telegraphed back to the Governor of Ohio on Saturday an order Countermanding the march of the Ohio troops for the Present. They have since, however, received orders to march to Cumberland, and are probably now there. After retreating fifteen miles on the road to Cumber- land, and finding that he was not pursued, Gen. Lander halted at Patterson’s creek. One account states that he is now there, fortified on the south bank of the Potomac. Another account states that ho subsequently resumed bis march, and is now at Cumberland. At all events, there are now between Cumberland and Patterson’s creck a large force of Union troops, with forty pieces of cannon. ‘The people of Cumberland expect an attack from Gen, Jackson; bat probably that is not the point at which he will strike. On finding Romney evacuated, ho returned to Bath, whoro the greater part of hia force still remains, Much apprehension exists in those parts of Pennsylvania Bear Hancock that he will invade that State.

But for this deficiency in our force could have whipped the Yankees off, as they did not ber over 600 men. Snow has been Ex at Camp Al- leghany for the last thirty-six hours, and js still falting. Notwithstanding, however, the severity of the weather, the soldiers are all contented and prepared to drive the mercenaries off our soil. From the above garbled accounts of the defeats of the robelson the Upper Potomac and in the direction of Romney, it is evident they have nothing to boast of from that quarter recently. The leading articles of tho paper before me are much in the wailing strain of a dying tiger, They are doubtiess the expiring whines of the monster rebellion. There have been some cases of intoxication among the troops here recently, Yesterday afternoon the Provost Marshal made a raid on all the liquor dealers known to have vended intoxicating beverages to the trcopr, spill- ing their liquor and marching four of them off to the guardhouse. To-day they are more usefully emp!oyed. ‘Their prison labors consist of hewing wood for the uso of the camp fires. The ladylike wife of Colonel Geary arrived here yes- terday afternoon from Frederick, where she has been stopping for some time. The band of the Twenty-eigh:h Pennsyivania regiment honored her last evening with a serenade. Porrr or Rooxs, Jan. 24, 1862.

It is highly provable, from a’) that can be observed and learned, however, that with the first fine weather a campaisn wil! commence on the Upper Potomac. Nothing is known here at present of the movements of the rebel Gen, Jackson and his forces, except that he ha about fiftecn thousand men, and js in the neighborhood of Romney. The design of our generals is to bag him and his whole force. This isthe reason why he has been allowe:l to advance so far to the west.

From rebel journals received at Fortress Monroo last Saturday, we are furnished with he following items:— The United States transport Louisiana, of General Borneide’s exp-.tition, formerly of the line between Old Point and Baltimore, has been beached to prevent her from falling into the hands of the rebels. She was burnt. All hands saved. ‘Tho Louisiana was a large side-whoel steamer, of 1,100 tons barthen. She belonged to Baltimore, where she was owned by the Baltimore and Norfulk Company. She was built in 1854, was supplied with vertical ‘beam engines; diameter of cylinder, sixty inches; stroke, eleven feet. Bhe rates A2, and bor dimecsions were as follows:— Length, 275 feet; beam, thirty-five feet; depth, twelve feet. She was chartered by the government for the pur- pose of carrying troops, having ample accommodations for a full regiment, which she must bave had on board at tho time. fhe was among the vessels that reported at Fortress Monroe from Annapolis on the 1ith inst.;but owing to somo cause she did not sail with the fleet from that point, but was delayed until the night of the 12th. ‘The news of her destruction, which is founded upon reports current in Norfo.k, is very vague and unsatis. factory, as it neither states when she was beached, and destroyed, or what was the cause of it. The fact of all bands being saved is alsoa mystery, as we krow not in what manner they have been rescued. The saving of their lives may have been followed by @ capture of ali on board the vessel by the rebels,or perhaps some other vessel of the expedition may have been near her and aken off the troops and crew. No doubt much anxiety will befelt by all until the facts of the caso shall have been made known. ‘The Norfolk Day Book of Saturday contaics not a word of Gonoral Burnside’s expedition, excepting a paragraph on the weather, saying that it is under the imprersion that the Burnside expedition is the cause of it all. Somebody relieved themselves yesterday by wishing that said flect would either go to the boitom or go home, as they were tired of euch bad weather, and never expected to see better while they are menacing the South. An extract is given from the Newborn Progress of ‘Tharsday last, which says, in reference to the reported presence of the flect in Pamlico Sound:— ‘Up to this wring (Wednoslay) we are not sure that there is now, orcverhas been, Yankee gunboat over the swash at Hatteras or not. The latest news we have is from Cap- tain Hill, who arrived here yesterday from Matamurkeet, Hyde county, through the Sound, and says he saw no. thing in the Sound in the shape of a gunboat, Woe shall probably hear more before going to press, as Colonel G. B. Singletary sought and obtained permission from the commanding General to go on a reconnoitering expedition down the river. He left on Tuesday evening.” A postscript added to the above article says:—Colonel Singletary had not arrived when we went to press, aud ‘we are still in doubt.

When the fre was first discovered it appeared to have gotten under consi- derablo Maadway,as the Sames were seen upon ftoors at the same time, ‘The police of the Second precinct gave the alarm; buts owing to the heavy condition of the strocts, and the fact ‘that the firomen had been up all night at work at the fire in Bridge street, it was some time before water was thrown upon the flames. ‘The wiod was blowing very high at the time, ea © con. trol the fire. It soon became apparent that the fire was getting beyond‘the control of the fremen at work ; con- sequently the bells were rung for the Fourth, Fifth aud Sixth districts for more help. The flames spread with great rapidity, and soon extended into the adjoining buildings, and thence to those on Pearl atreot. ‘tho flamos, on getting into the collar of No. 2693¢ Pear! street, act fire to a large quantity of roofing oll in vats, and lin- Seed and rosin oil in barrels. The heat and flame, gushed out in such volumes that the firemen were driven back some distance. The fire soon extended across the strect to the Fulton Bank building, on the corner of Fulton and Pearl streets, and also into the adjoining buildings’ on Pearl street. ‘Tho alarm having reached Brooklyn, the firemen of that city quickly responded, and sent over to our aid threo of their steam fire engines and one hand engine, viz:— Victory, No. 18.

At one time fears were entertained that tho buildings on the opposite side of Fulton sttget would take fire, and it was only by the constant watchfulness of the firemen, who threw streams of water upon the face of the buiid. ings, that the fire was prevented from extending in that direction. ‘The United States Hotel, was also in groat danger of being fired at one time; but fortunately the wind changed and carried the flames in another direction. The origin of the fire is not known at present; but it will be thoroughly investigated by the Fire Marshal, Captain Hutchins, of the Second precinct, and his sor- geants were promptly at the promises and rendered eff). cient service.
