The Daily Dispatch: July 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia. (search)
From Northern Virginia. We have no further news from the forces under Gen. Lee. There seems now to be a general concurrence in the opinion that the Yankees have crossed the Potomac on both sides of the Blue Ridge in considerable force. A gentleman who left Charlestown on Saturday says a heavy force of the enemy was near that point, having crossed at Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown. The main body of Meade's army, however, are understood to have crossed at Berlin and Louisburg, and are operating on the eastern side of the mountain, with a view, doubtless, of throwing their columns between our army and Richmond. The Central train continues to bring down the wounded in the several fights at Gettysburg. Yesterday the remains of the lamented Gen. Pettigrew were brought down, and were conveyed to the Capitol, where they are now being in state. The hearse was followed from the train by the State Guard, the city militia, and a large concourse of citizens.

from Hagerstown, on the national road. Here he was in long and anxious conference with Smart till 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when, attended by a single staff officer and a couple of orderlies, he rode off Stuart himself did not leave till evening, his cavalry being employed in covering the movement to the river. The country in the vicinity of Hagerstown is literally eaten out. The family at whose house Lee and his aids quartered themselves have not so much as a pound of subsistence of any kind left. They were compelled to hand over their flour, bacon, vinegar, and everything else, and though Gen. Lee was himself appealed to, nothing availed against the hunger of the famishing gray-backs. Our troops will probably push toward Harper's Ferry. The rebels may make a stand on Virginia soil, but they will find the Army of the Potomac very close to them. Everything indicates that our troops are to be worked up to their fullest capacity in the pursuit of the flying forces.
