From the army.

Passengers who arrived by the Central train yesterday afternoon were singularly ignorant of matters connected with our forces on the North side of the Potomac. One or two parties stated that Jackson's corps moved on Wednesday in the direction of Hagerstown but further than this they knew nothing. They believed that he was going to Pennsylvania by way of Hagerstown. The Northern news we have published tells us as much as that.

A gentleman with whom we conversed, from Winchester, states that it was reported in that town on Friday that a heavy column of our army had arrived at Williamsport, six miles south of Hagerstown. If there is any truth in this statement, it is doubtless the intention to clean out the Federal forces at Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry. The same gentleman says that the Federal force at these two points amounts to about 8,000.
