This has been a day of uneasiness to us all. General Jackson
has had a fight at Kernstown, near Winchester. No particulars, except that the
enemy were repulsed, and our loss heavy. Many that are so dear to us are in
that “Stonewall Brigade;” and another day of suspense must pass before we can
hear from them. Our Western army under Beauregard are fighting at Island No.
10, with what success we know not. The enemy presses us on every side.
