Lee, who magnanimously assumes all responsibility under reverse, and modestly assumes less than is due him in success, it is to be regretted now that the corps of Gen. Ewell, which had penetrated within sight of the spires of Harrisburg, had not been allowed to prosecute its march, while the main body remained on the border of the State.
