The only direct intelligence we have from
Gen. Lee's army, is from a dispatch received at the office of the
Enquire yesterday, which states that there was a severe infantry fight at
Boonsboro', Md., on the 8th, which resulted in the repulse of the enemy after three hours severe fighting.
No other particulars are given.
A cavalry fight is also reported to have taken place near
Hagerstown, on the same day. The same dispatch states that the forces of the enemy had been withdrawn from
Gettysburg twelve hours before our army retired.
This would not indicate that we suffered so serious a reverse as is alleged by the
Yankee journals.
The Central train from
Staunton — by which it was hoped some news would reach us — had not arrived up to the hour of going to press, in consequence of the breaking of an sale between
Charlottesville and
Gordonsville.
