Gen. Lee's Army.

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 The same dispatch states that the forces of the enemy had been withdrawn from Gettysburg twelve hours before our army retired.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.
