Lees main army with his command, we take
it, as was anticipated in yesterdays Star.
However, whether he is doing or not, we
feel very sure that he will hardly venture an
attempt TO make a serious raid in this direction
or in that OF Maryland, Eecause he must know
that there are ample Union troops in both to
meet him promptly and successfully. The
fact that his late movements have been 50 long
shrouded in mystery, proves, TO our compre-
hension at least that his force is much less than
is generally thought within our lines. The
force Of Sigei, Gen. Heintzleman's command,
and the troops at Harper's Ferry, and elsewhere
on the Upper Potomac, are so disposed and 80
kept in readiness for a movement in any direc-
ton his possible movements may render neces.

have been anticipating his disagreeable pres
ence among them, may dismiss their current
