A correspondent wishes some able hand would undertake to describe
General Lee'o march from Boflon to Chorlestown, and would point out
the remarkable circumstances of his meeting General Clinton it New -
York the day he arrived there; of his finding him in Hampton Road
when he came to Vi ' ' ; ot' Clinton'c leaving Cane Fear just after his
arrival in North Gum, and of his unlucky manus at For! Sullivan.
The world must have in high opinion of General Lee's lctivity and vi '
lnnce, when they read of his march of more than noo miles, and of His
circumstances attendin it throughout; and Clinton himselfimufl look on
General Lee as his evi genius, thus haunting him llong & coast of such
vafi extent, and meeting him at last at Pbilsippi.
