Cen. Lees Address to his Army.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY NORTHERN IRGIN-
IA. Nav 7, l963.-General Orders, No. So
With heartfelt qualification the General com
manding expresses to the army his sense OF the
heroic conduct displayed by officers and men
during the arduous operations IN which they
have just been engaged,
Under trying vicissltudes of heat and storm
you attacked the enemy, strongly entrenched
in the depth Of tangled wilderness, and again
on the hills Of Fredericksburg, fifteen mules
distant. and by the valor that has trlumphed
on so many fields, forced him once more 10
seek safety beyond the Rappahannock.
While this glorious victory entities you to
the praise and gratitude Of the nation, we are
especially called upon to return our grateful
thanks to the only Giver OF victory Tor the
signal deliyerance He has wrought.
Tt is therefore earnestly recommended that
the troops unite on Sunday next IN ASCENDING
to the Lord Of Hosts the glory due unto Ills
name
Let US not forget in our rejoicing the brave
soldiers who have fallen in defence OF their
country, and while we mourn their loss let us
resolve to emulate their noble example.
The army and the country alike lament the
absence, for time, of one to whose bravery,
energy and skill they are 50 much Indebted tor
success.
The following letter from the President Of
the Confederate States, is conlmunicat ted to
the army as an expression Of his appreciation
Of its success:
II have received your dispatch, and reyer;;
emily unite with you in giving praise to God
for the success with which He has crowned our
arms
I'm the name of the people, offer my cor
dial thanks to yourself and the troops under
your command for this addition to the unpre"
cedented series of great victories which your
army has achieved -.
:sThe universal rejoicing produced by this
happy result will be mingled with general re-
gret fot the good and the brave who are num-
bered among the killed and wounded

Cry Council. Last night there was reg
Mar meeting of the City Council:
RoARD OF ALDERMEN. EN.-The committee to
whom was referred the resolution in relation to
,he collection of taxes, &c., presented re-
port, which was adopted.
The annual report of the Committee on
Light was presented, and ordered to be pub
I lished.
A resolution from the Common Coun I'll, al
lowing the Exchange Bank $50 for keeping
. and disbursing the funds Of the Corporation,
B from November, 1861, to March, 1868, was
Il adopted.
Nm act for raising revenae for the year 1868
u was received from the Common Council, and
]. read first time; when the Board adjourned
ill this evening at clock.
COMMON CoUNcIL. -- The Committee on
4 Claims reported favorably on the claim Of z.
1 Howe Ripley, whereupon said claim was or
dered to be paid.
The report of the Committee on Light, for
the last year, was received from the Board Of
Aldermen, and the order for printing the same
concurred in.
THE report exhibits the total cost of the
I 293 o. The nun Der Of meters registered in
February, 1861, was $40, and in February,
. 1868, 596, showing difference of 253. In ex-
z PLANTATION OF the small Ter number of meters now
3 in use, the committee state that the owners of
4 number of houses are absent from the city,
and the persons occupying these houses do not
use gas, while many families are using coal oil,
4 and few have, it is believed, discontinued tile
use Of gas on account of the change in the d.
sectlon Of the works, and the mode Of pay
ment. The amount Of gas made from Decem-
Der, 1861, to December, 1852, was 1897, ,0S0
I teet, and the amount consumed 9, 289, $50 feet,
showing loss OF about per cent. for leakage
and condensation. The income Of the works,
from December, 1851, to February, 1868, was
So, lI3 3d. and the expenditures $24, 969 Is,
. leaving balance of $7,l74 g. There was
. sold, during the last year, 81 ,204 7S of coke,
and sl6l SO OF tar. The works are reported
by the committee TO be in excellent condition
now, having been thoroughly repaired and rem
oyated, which will explain, in part, the large
amount of expenditures. Old bills, to the
amount of between $4,000 and s3, ,OOO remain
uncollected Last year bills were all collect
ed.
The Finance Committee made report re-
eommending that $3.50 be allowed the Exchange
Bank, tor keeping and disbursing the funds of
the Corporation to the 1st of March, 1863
which was adopted.
The Committee on the Poor reported favor

the number Of Federal small arms which will
be gathered from the field of battle cannot be
less than 80, 600, and may perhaps go as tlgh

Wait minis Darker.

Twas walking out one evening, just after
sunset, with child q few years old by my
side, who asked me. /" Where are the stars .
Il don't see any" said to her. Wait
ill il is a little darker and you will then see
them"
We Continued our walk, she clinging last
to my hand. The shades Of evening deep
ened; one by one the stars appeared, and
soon in the darkness OF the night the whole
sky was covered with their light and bright
beauty.
As we walked on fell musing, and
when we returned il still went on IS / re-
peated to my heart. Wait till il is . little
darker, and the light viii come" Often
have We heard that Mans extremity is
Gods opportunity - that when He has
humbled us He will exalt u.s." that g He
will cause light to rise out OF obscurity and
that the darkest hour is just before day"
And many poor, weary, troubled soul has
found in his own experience that from the
verge of despair the blessedness OF hope
has sprung. When all other hope has failed
him, God has been his help and SAVIOR
But We are very slow to get the comforts Of
these promises aud proverbs in advance
After the stars have come out bright. and
the sky is radiant with glory, we admire it.
and wonder atfouI want OF faith before
Like the child who did not know where the
stars were when she could not see them, we
do not know where light. and peace. and JOY
are TO come from when We are in trouble.
Well, We must wait till it is darker. We
have not trouble enough yet We must fret
and worry about the future; We must see
the country, and our business, and our prop
srty, going to ruin. We must be perplexsd
-. - l. 4
and nearly destroyed; perhaps we must sc
tually suffer by hunger. and nakedness and
the sword; but when il is little darker the
stars win appear. The day star viii arise
in our hearts. The Lord will provide
Our food and raiment will come. Our IA
ton will be saved. The day Of peace and
prosperity will return. The voice of the
turtle will be heard in the land. Zion will
arise and shine. And the days Of our sad
ness will be ended.-Sas Franeisco Paci-
&c.
