The Northern border.
All the information which reaches us from the Northern border of Virginia, indicates that active operations for the spring campaign are about to commence. Hooker's army, we are told, is only waiting an improvement in the roads, which a few days favorable weather will afford, whilst Milroy, in the Valley, being heavily reinforced, has established his outposts at Strasburg, eighteen miles this tide of Winchester. It is not improbable that his pree has been, or will be, sufficiently increased to author the attempt to advance up the Valley as far as Staunton or at least to hold possession of the Shenandoah and Luray Valleys.
