The Yankees spread a secesh flag on the street, and hung one across, so that all must pass under the latter and over the former. What does a noble girl do but kneel, and again and again kiss the dear Southern-flag? You have heard of the Yankees using one of the churches as a stable. They arrested several ladies here--one for shouting for Jeff. Davis. She preached them a proper sermon, and when released repeated the offence. You may be sure the Yanks found little aid and comfort here. Many of the slaves were persuaded to leave. They were directed to get into the lower end of the town, and told that it would be blown up. I rode this morning over, the Kernstown battle field, in company with a Colonel who was in the battle. The hill from which the enemy shelled our men is a most commanding one, and our troops had to go a mile u

From the Valley. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Winchester, May 30, 1862. You can imagine the joy with which the people of Staunton received the news last Monday, of the glorious achievement of "Old Stonewall," in driving the Yankees from this part of the Valley. You can hear them specially the refugees from this section, laughing, and to each other a cross the street, and see them shaking hands at every street corner. As the facts were immediately telegraphed to Richmond, and, see more authentic details were to be had, I deferred writing you till I should get nearer the scene of action. On Tuesday morning, I was one of many on the road for this place. The essay 1st, Rogers, tells of a women in a German town, who had lived to a good old age without going out of her native town — The king hearing of the case, and thinking it told finely for the contentment and happiness, of his people, made an edict this woman should not leave her native town.

The citizens say that the rout was perfect and that the enemy's cavalry fled disgracefully, pursued by numbers smaller than their own. Unlike Jackson, Banks kept a long way from the flashing of the guns. On both sides, this entire affair was comparatively bloodless. Our loss, in killed and wounded, did not exceed forty. Col.

and here and there a force is burnt. But after passing the latter place the desolations begin. For miles we travel, seeing cely a line or cross fence, and clover and wheat fields trodden down and exposed to utter destruction. We need not to hear the women and children, and even the servants, in order to see what a foe has been through the land. Where forests abound fences have been burned, even yard fences and gates; stone walls have been wantonly pulled down. The Yanks seem to bate Stonewall. Here is a deserted house and there the smouldering ashes of one they have burned. At Strasburg we saw the fortifications of the enemy, on a commanding hill and elaborately finished. Here it was supposed, of course, they would make a stand. How different was the result. All last week an impression prevailed along the entire line of the enemy that Jackson would be upon them very soon, and they commenced to fall back, probably to stand at this place.
