Telegraphic dispatches.

No one can regret more than ourselves the error with which our Norfolk telegraphic correspondent was led, and in turn led this paper as well as others in Petersburg, in the account of a battle near Hampton. The dispatch was sent by a reliable gentleman, and we have every reason to know that he is incapable of willfully deceiving the public, but must have been imposed upon himself. At the same time, it is but just to ourselves to add that we simply expressed a hope that the reported victory might prove true, and that we shall hereafter be exceedingly cautious of what we publish by telegraph.
