Meade and Lee--the coming campaign in Virginia. A dispatch, dated the 21st at Hagerstown, Md., reports General Lee to be checked by the Federal at Banker Hill, they having gotten in his rear. General Averill is reported to be "feeling" Gen. Lee's westerly line of retreat. Gens. Ewell and Hood are reported to be within 13 miles of Williamsport, Md. The Confederate pickets have a front extending from Hedgesville, seven miles from Martinsburg, to the Shenandoah river, eight miles from Harper's Ferry.

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. MeaNight having drawn her sable curtain over the scene, the enemy fell back from this position behind the stonewall, leaving their dead and wounded in our hands, and our men in possession of the field. They retreated down the river road towards Harper's Ferry, and it is reported have since gone to the other side of the river. The casualties, as usual latterly, were considerable among the officers, who greatly exposed themselves leading and encouraging the men, and forming conspicuous marks fo
