The Yankees in Northwestern Virginia.

--The Staunton (Va.) Vindicator, speaking of the escape of the Yankee raiding party which was repulsed near the White Sulphur Springs by General Jones, says:

‘ We learn that they, after being repulsed and driven back by Gen. Jones at Dry creek, were met by Col. Jackson, again repulsed and forced back in the direction of Dry creek, and were compelled to take a different route from the one they had purposed going out by. They fell back forty miles in one day to Greenbrier bridge, in Pocahontas, where they were reinforced. Jackson was skirmishing with them. He has since driven them to Big Spring, at the edge of Randolph county, capturing over 100 horses in their retreat, and killing about 40. Jackson's loss was two killed and fifteen captured.
