The rebel General Jackson, with @ small division of cavalry, was watching the advance of our army from Kingston, and it seems was vastly muddled about the importance of the movement.

A Union scout waa. fitted up in gray and sent back to the rebels, with en anawer framed ac cording to General fhomas’ ideas of what wonid be most pleasing to the rebel commander-to chief.
