HEADQ' RS ARMY NeaYHERN VIRGINIA,
21st July 1868,

Gen. s. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector
General, G. S. A., Richmond, Virginia
GENERAL: I have seen in Northern pa
pers what purported to be an official dispatch
from Gen. Meade, stating that he had cap
tured brigade Of infantry, two pieces Of
artillery, two eaissons and large number
Of small arms, as this army retired to the
South bank of the Potomac, on the 18th and
l4th instants.
This dispatch has been copied into the
Richmond papers, and as its official charac-
ter may cause it to believed, [ desire to
state that it is incorrect. The enemy did
not capture any organized body Of men on
that occasion. but onlv straggl ers and such
as we're left asleep on the road, exhausted
by the fatigue and exposure Of one of the
most Indictment nights have ever known at
this season Of the year. It rained without
cessation, rendering the road by which our
troops marched to the bridgeat Falling Wa
ters very difficult to pass, and causing so
much delay that the last Of the troops did
not cross the rive at the bridge until P.
NJ on the. l4th While the column was thus
detained on the road, a number of men,
worn down with fatigue, lay down in barns,
and by the roadside, and though officers
were sent back to arouse them, as the troops
moved on, the darkness and rain prevented
them from finding all, and many were in
this way left behind. Two guns were left in
the road. The horses that drew them be-
came exhausted, and the officers went for
ward to procure others. When they return
ed, the rear Of the column had passed the
guns SO far that it was deemed unsafe to
send back for them; and they we're :h.s lost.
No arms, cannon or prisoners were taken
BY the enemy in battle, but only such as
were left behind under the circumstances
have described. The number Of stragglers
thus lost am unable to state with accuracy,
but it is greatly exaggcratedin the dispatch
referred to.
am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
r. ID. LEE. General.

A Majority on the Wrons side.

Several years ago, a celebrated Methodist
minister and revivalist. we'll known Cor bit
eloquence and zeal in converting souls, was
preaching in Louisville The feeling had
got pretty well up, and one night, after a
very powerful sermon he came down from
the pulpit for the purpose of receiving the
mourners, while the good old hymn Of.
"Canaan, oh Canaan, I'm bound for the land Of
Canaan
was struck up and chimed in by hundreds
ofyoices. The hymn was concluded, but
there were no penitents at the altar. In
vain he exhorted his words and appeals
fell upon the ears of his congregation with
out exciting an emotion Atlcngth he con-
cluded to make bold strike and follow it
up with test, aud resuming the pulpit. af-
ter few words Of exhortation, he solemnly
announced that be would put question,
upon which he expected all to vote in view
Of the estimation they placed upon their
souls: With finger raised most significant

& Only so1nereight or Ten responded to the
-announcement;a and while the minister was
watching intensely for others tosignify their
position BY rising worthy member who
was on his feet, interfered and suggests
that the reason pight.be that tbetrpesdis'
cipIcs were too modest to vote.
