Lee declined to give them further battle, and retired towards Canton, to effect a junction with Gen. Loring, who had reached Madison Station with his command that morning. About the time that Gen.

We give some additional intelligence from the latest Northern files received. The gold question is rapidly getting beyond Secretary Chase's power of control.
