HARRISONBURGH, VA., April 28. – Through secession channels it is learned that the Governor of North Carolina, was arrested and imprisoned in Richmond two weeks ago on account of his Union sentiments.
It was observed to-day that Jackson had moved his wagon trains back some six miles since yesterday – indications of his intention to retire still further seaward or else entertaining a dread of an attack on him by our forces.
A squadron of cavalry was the only rebel force discovered to-day on the right side of the Shenandoah. They with one wagon entered the village of Mackguahequeston where they remained till about dark. They came by the Port Republic route.
We have news confirmatory of the occupation of Staunton by Gen. Milroy, Staunton is in Augusta county.
The river is still too high to attempt a passage with safety.
A dense smoke was seen in that direction to-day, but the cause is unknown.
