There is nothing additional this morning from Charleston,
Mississippi, or Maryland. Telegraphic communication is still open to Jackson,
where all was quiet again at the last accounts; but battle, then, must occur
immediately. From Charleston we learn that Beauregard had repulsed every
assault of the enemy. It is rumored that Lee's account of the battle of Gettysburg
will be published to-morrow, showing that it was the “most brilliant and
successful battle of the war.” I hope he
may say so — for then it will be so.
Our papers are publishing Milroy's papers captured at
Winchester.
