HARRISONBURG, April 30.
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 removed his wagon
trains back some six miles since yesterday, indicating his intention to retire
still further rearward, or else entertaining a dread of an attack on them by
your forces.
A squadron of cavalry was the only rebel force discovered
to-day on the right side of the Shenandoah.
There was one wagon entered the village of McGaugheystown where they
remained till about dark. They came by
the Port Republic route.
We have noting confirmatory of the occupation of Staunton by
Gen. Milroy.
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.
