General Robert z. Lee.

writer in the Enquirer pays tribute to Our great
commander, which will find an echo in the judgment
and heart of every citizen of the Confederate Stats
He says:
Although not personally quainted h Gen. Lee have
had the opportunity to learn and know that on taking
the command of this army in the field after Gen. Johnston
was wounded, his policy and determination was not
siege, but on E" contrary to seek his antagonist fight
and to crush his huaaed array. Gen. Lee did proclaim
his plans on the ousetops 1t desirable that the
my should learn them only at the of their
ton and in his too it would appear that he has
ceeded 1t inconsistent with 3en. Lees intention
deliver battle that additional labor should be bestowed
upon The deeDoeB of Richmond. These strengthened
daily and rapidly If the battle they could do
no harm f lost they would be Invaluable check

would enable n Lee to reinforce Jackson with safety
to do what he has doDeatack the enemy the north
bank of the Chckah0mny. The work on these entrench
ments kept to the very lat Day In full view of the
enemy and probably contributed TO keep up the densn
among thsm, that relied entirely upon our fences
have no time to dwell upon the great improvements by
Cen Lee in the organization and discipline Of this army
Twenyfour days thus spent have not been thrown
At the proper time Jacksons army ordered here
and troos brought from the South When they reach
ed here Gen. Lee ready aud he accordingly delivered
the battle. The act his, the plan of battle his
own, and the execution superintendent by him In per
son. An army Of 100 goo men driven ia day and
half OF fighting from line of works which they had thrown
up with initiate labor for month, and protected by
hed artillery siege guns and every device that military
science could suggest. Never has such result beea
achieved in short time and with so small cost to
victors do not believe the records of modern warfare
prodace parallel when the battle considered this
their officers were, many of them, scientific and able
Such result could have been attained but for the
ezeroDs of army of unsurpassed valor led by great
commander. Gen. Lee saved lower Georgia and South
Carolina from the enemy. He has crowned his fame
by outgeneraug the best General of the enemy putting
MS army TO tho rout' JUSTICE.

we see that report from Knoxville Of the 5th says
that reliable information had been received there OF
F5aIIecks forces passing through Nashville rio Louis
vile to Washington.
BueII's forces are concentrating at Huntsville with
those of Mitchell which have Withdrawn from Battle

The above limitations are not very clear They leave
much 10 Inference We think it very doubtful whether
Haeck forces are going through Nashville and Lous-
vile TO Washington, unless indeed the Tennessee River
be so low tst they cannot go down that stream which
"a possible Nor is it likely if the Tennessee is down
that they could maintain themselves 10 their advanced

The progress Of the season may compel HalIeck With
part Of bis army TO make for the more Northern seat
in Virginia, while Buell., with another part will try
to get out Of the low and unhealthy river grouUds and
establish himself in East Tennessee and North Aaba-

aud difficult TO be carried out as it will remove bin
