The battle of Kernstown.an interesting Narrative. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Mr. Jackson, Va., March 28, 1862. On Saturday, the 22d inst., Gen. Jackson rapidly moved his little army from camp, near this place, back to Cedar Creek, twenty-six miles, in one day, and camped there that night, making his headquarters in Birdsburg, which was evacuated by the enemy the day before. Early the next morning (Sunday) he again moved forward, and the artillery opened on the enemy n If the enemy had possessed courage and daring our train might have been taken and would have been but for Maj.

orty-six of our men were prisoners; some forty-six being wounded. The Yankees admit a loss of 300 killed, and from 1,000 to 1,500 wounded and missing. The same letters state that there is "no exultation among the Yankees and that they look upon Jackson's army as a band of heroes" Our ladies in Winchester gave every attention to our wounded and prisoners. For the first time since the Yankees entered the town they crowded the streets, and the march of our men to tire railroad depot was as one eresses it, "a march of triumph rather than of defeat.
