Ii QUANDARY.-The Philadelphia Ledger devotes an
editorial 10 the probabilities of what is going on in Vr-
giua, and is evidently puzzled in attempting solution
of the matter. 1t then goes on to say:
The probability is that there is profound and very
able effort the part Of their Generals TO conceal their
forces until the moment at which they ready to strike
They have doubt, officers of the greatest brilancy,
with youth and vgor their side, while we are greatly
lacking in these, and but for Gen. Scott should be still
more So Even he is about to remove his headquarters
and that of the Army to Philadelphia ia said This is
probably on of the difficulty Of keeping up sufi
GENTLY rapid and reliable communications with the main
body of the Army. 1t is well known that for about
two days Gen SCOTS messages for troops read and
kept in Baltimore by the rebels and yetit was elegraphed
back to him that they had been forwarded.
Thus far Providence has been better than we have
been to ourselves unless be that by means yet
unexplained the at Harpers Ferry not blown
uD nor destroyed and very large and important portions
of those of the small arms caunons, and other warke
stores have escaped destruction at the Norfolk Navy
Yard. How all this has happened will be matter for
future investigation, and whether any officers have been
reacherous in the discharge of their duties. Probably
no nation before long survived such wholesale
reschery and treason the part of many of its
perior officers 1t is upon the honesty and strength Of
our own volunteers that we must now rely.
