The remainder of the skirmishers fell back on their supports, who occupied some strong works built there some two years ago. From the Upper Potomac. The correspondents of the New York World and Times concur in stating that there is no apparent design on the part of the enemy to enter upon a new raid either into Maryland or Southwestern Pennsylvania. The losses of General Crook at the second battle of Winchester are estimated in killed and wounded alone at one thousand men. The Gazette says, in its issue of the 29th, that the military authorities desire that no mention whatever shall be made hereafter of anything relating to the operations on the Upper Potomac unless the information bears an official character.--It therefore refrains from publishing the various telegrams which appear in the Washington, Philadelphia and New York papers.
