The Rebel General Lees Movements-An.
other scare i'm Washington.
The mysterious and threatening movements
of the rebel army of Virginia have created the
suspicion that it is the intention of General Lee
to repeat Immediately his aggressive campaign
Of last summer. Under this idea we are as
sured there is another great scare In Washing
ton. According to our information the Cabine
are really spprehensive that, getting round o
| getting over the superior army Of General Hook
| or, the terrible rebel General Lee may not onl
| invade Maryland again, but that, more success
| full than he was the last time. he may possibl,
be able this time to get into. Washington b.
way of Frederick city or Baltimore.
The deplorable failure of General Hooker a
| Charlottesville. on his own chosen ground
| against rebel army not more than one-half hi
own in point of numbers, appears, from all tina
wo can learn, to have completely demoralize'
the administration in regard to the furthe
prosecution of the war in Virginia. In the frs
place, General Hooker's rashness placed him II
| a position where the house in front Of which b
was standing was knocked to pieces by tn
snemy's shells, and he was Frustrated by on
of the falling timbers, and lay for some time il
| q helpless and doubtful condition in the yer,
crisis of the battle. Otherwise, perhaps, h
might have seen his opportunity, aud by send

the support of General Sickles lie might hav,
cut the rebel army in twain, and utterly routed

| in recovering from his fall il seems that Gene
raj Hooker did not recover his balance of mind
! but thai from this unfortunate accident, an,
from the breaking Of his lines by the enemy, b,
saw no safety except in retreat, when by
general engagement at any time from Sunday
morning to Monday evening he might have oh
tanned decisive victory. fw
Rash when he should have been prudent, an,
timid when he should have been bold, we ca,
hardly wonder that General Hookers capabili

are afraid TO make change. and they know no
what to do. The reinstatement of McClellar
would instantly scatter all doubts aud msgiv
ings to the winds, and put the Army of the 70
tomac again on the trail Of the rebel army: bu
this sensible and patriotic proceeding would in
