WINCHESTER, Va., March 20.
A portion of Gen. Shields’ reconnoisance returned from Strasburg. Gen. Jackson reported to be near Mt. Jackson.
Gen. Wm. Prescott Smith, with other officers of the Baltimore & Ohio RR., reconnoitered the road on Friday to Martinsburg, and expect that station will be opened by the 1st of April. They have also made arrangements to permanently open the Potomac & Winchester Road.
An inch and a half of snow fell here last night, and it is still falling.
