We have another crisis. Dispatches from Murfreesborough state
the hostile armies are facing each other, and not a mile apart; the skirmishing
increased, and a decisive battle may occur at any moment.
From Vicksburg we have no further intelligence; but from the
Rappahannock we learn that both artillery and infantry were distinctly heard
yesterday in the direction of Dumfries. Is Stuart there?
