The drought continues here; but at some other places there has fallen heavy rain.
The excitement on the news of our successes in Maryland is intense, and a belief prevails that great results will grow out of this invasion of the country held by the enemy. Twice before but little if any benefit resulted from crossing the Potomac.
It is rumored to-day that Longstreet's corps has marched to Maryland, and that Lee is with it.
