A Most Hernloious Practice.


IA Mrs. CHAnLEs j .FAULKNER is the will
Hest and most experienced diplomat in
the Valley OF Virginia. She is more
dangerous than Belle Boyd, because she
is more adroit, and has larger social in
huence and greater means Of accomplish
ing her purposes. She is even now al
most nightly inviting coterits OF our
Young officers ti her house. She and
her two daughters have been layishing
their most courtly Establishments upon
them, and, ere they know it, ere they
have perceived their purpose, all the in
telligence they desire is extracted. As a
matter Of course, our plans, our move
ments the number Of cur troops, and the
direction OF their march, or the number
in garrison, are duly transmitted to Rich
mond by the bve-way post routes which
the rebels have all through this valley.
We believe that it is a common practice,
wherever our armies have gone, for many
of om officers to visit rebel families freely.
In the present state of the country we
cannot but regard II as a practice fraught
with the most dangerous results to our
armies. 1t leads to the disclosure OF
thousands Of things to the spies.of the
enemy, which prudent commanders would
keep secret even from their friends. 10y
al editors would be imprisoned for pub.
fishing the very information which some
susceptible Lieutenant has already i'm.
parted to some enemy with whom he il
enamOred.
