The Daily Dispatch: July 27, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia. (search)
From Northern Virginia. The reports which we receive from Northern Virginia, with reference to the operations of our own and the enemy's forces, are so confused that it is difficult to arrive at the exact situation of affairs. By the Central train of last evening we have a report of a considerable engagement several days ago between the corps of Gens. Longstreet and Hill and a heavy body of the enemy at one of the passes in the Blue Ridge.

By the Central train of last evening we have a report of a considerable engagement several days ago between the corps of Gens. Longstreet and Hill and a heavy body of the enemy at one of the passes in the Blue Ridge. The exact location of this fight, or the particular day on which it occurred, could not be ascertained; but our forces are represented to have achieved a decided advantage in the affair and to have captured a large number of prisoners and several pieces of artillery. A very intelligent gentleman, who came up the Valley from below Winchester, says he learns nothing of any general fight, but knows there have been a number of heavy skirmishes, in which we were generally successful in repulsing the enemy, who were pressing vigorously and c

Meade's Boasting — official Dispatch from Gen. Lee. The following dispatch from Gen. Lee was received at the War Department Saturday: Headq'rs Army Northern Va., 21st July, 1863. Gen. S. Cooper, Adj't and Insp'r Gen'l, C. S. A., Richmond, Va: General --I have seen in Northern papers what purported to be an official dispatch from Gen. Meade, stating that he had captured a brigade of infantry, two pieces of artillery, two caissons, and a large number of small arms, as this army retired to the South bank of the Potomac, on the 13th and 14th insts. This dispatch has been copied into the Richmond papers, and as its official character may cause it to be believed, I desire to state that it is incorrect. The enemy did not capture any organized body of men on that occasion, but only stragglers and such as were left asleep on the road, exhausted by the fatigue and exposure of one of the most inclement nights I have ever known at this season of the year. It rained witho

Our army correspondence. Army Northern Virginia, July 18th, 1863. The heavy cannonading heard in the direction of Shepherdstown Thursday originated from a severe cavalry fight, of which you have been advised by telegraph. I will now furnish you the particulars as they have been ascertained. After the return of Gen. Lee's army to Virginia, the enemy, evidently too much crippled for immediate pursuit, and desirous of ascertaining our movements and feeling our position, dispatched a large body of cavalry down the river to accomplish this object, if possible. They crossed at Harper's Ferry, where pontoon bridges were thrown across for the purpose, and proceeded up the river as far as Shepherdstown, where they arrived on Wednesday; then coming down the Leetown and Winchester road to the distance of about five miles, halted. Meantime, Fitzhugh Lee, who was in the vicinity and hearing of their whereabouts, proceeded up the Shepherdstown road for the purpose of checking the
