rson, (or both, as the case may be,) did not recross the Potomac; but followed Johnston's advanced force, under Gen. Jackson, until it effected a junction with the maht enough to be credited, we believe,) at once assailed the entire force under Johnston and were repulsed with severe loss. Thrice did they try to drive him from his position with the like defeat, and the last time Johnston pursued them into Martinsburg, where, having outflanked them he held them at last accounts. The statement lader, or Patterson, whichever he may have been, is nearer reinforcements than Johnston. We see that Stone, with 3,500 men was looked for in the neighborhood of Hartpe Federalists at Martinsburg. A little delay might bring aid to them. But Gen. Johnston is too great a strategist to allow any time to clapse before availing himseg and a considerable force of them would likely arrive in good time to join Gen. Johnston. The reader will be amused with one of the Washington dispatches, publ

on Thursday evening, reliable intelligence was received from Martinsburg to the effect that Gen. Johnston's command had engaged the forces of the United States, estimated at 20,000, at a place called Darkville, three miles this side of Martinsburg — that General Johnston had repulsed them three times with great loss on their side, although their number largely exceeded his.

Gen. Johnston, being notified, advanced from Winchester with his forces, and reliable reports received yesterday say, that in conjunction with Col.

Firing at Mathias' Point. Passengers who left Fredericksburg Friday morning state that a report prevailed there on yesterday that heavy firing had been heard in the neighborhood of Mathias' Point.
