From Eastern North Carolina. The latest advices received from Kinston leave little doubt that the enemy has been largely reinforced at Newbern, and that a movement has already commenced. Wilmington is believed to be the point aimed at. These reinforcements have been sent by way of Norfolk, through Gates county, and thence down the Chowan to Newbern. The Raleigh papers state that as many as eight thousand took this route at one time. A negro who escaped from New bern, and recently arrived at Kinston, says that the notorious Butler is in command. Their force is now estimated at from 40,000 to 60,000. Last week a number of gunboats ascended the Neuse river four miles above the mouth of Big Swift Creek, but returned without doing say injury. A dispatch was received by Governor Vance on Sunday that the enemy had begun to move towards Wilmington.

(signed) Irwis McDowell, Major-General. r-General McDowell: I am highly gratified by your alacrity in obeying my orders. The change was as painful to me as it can possibly be to you or to any one.

Stonewall Jackson (search for this): article 3
e instructed, laying aside for the present the movement on Richmond, to put twenty thousand men in motion at once for the Shenandoah moving on the line or in the advance of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Your object will be to capture the forces of Jackson and Ewell, either in co-operation with Gen. Fremont, or in case of a want of supplies or transportation interferes with his movement, it is believed that the force with which you move will be sufficient to accomplish the object alone. Thest I may be allowed to say something in relation to the subject, especially in view of your remark that everything now depends upon celerity and vigor of movement. I beg to say that co-operation between General Fremont and myself to cut off Jackson or Ewell is not to be counted upon, even if it is not a practical impossibility. Next, that I am entirely beyond helping distance of General Banks, and no celerity or vigor will avail so far as he is concerned. Next, that by a glance at the ma

Shields will join me to-day as soon as the necessary preparations for the march can be completed, which I think will be by the 24th instant. We shall set forward in the general direction ordered. There is in front of us to impede our advance the secession army of the Rappahannock, so called, under the command of J. R. Anderson, of the Tredegar Iron Works. His force is from twelve to fifteen thousand men, mostly South Carolina and Georgia troops. We should engage this force on our first day's march, as they are within six or eight miles of us, posted on and to the right and left of the F. and R. railroad, and in a position of considerable strength. It is my purpose to turn their position by throwing a large force on their left flank, and cut off their opportunity of receiving any reinforcements from the dire
