Lee, by a series of manœuvres the most brilliant since the Napoleonic period, completely deceived McClellan, while he invested and captured Harper's Ferry, defended osition until the capture is certain. "The backbone of the rebellion is broken," we hear once more from the same indefatigable lungs. McClellan, in force, attacks Lee at Sharpsburg, and, as usual, is badly beaten.
