il tie army ~ the Potomac.
After the battle of Gettysburg when Lee
rctrratcd through the mountain passes
Meadc'S army was greatly exhausted bythrce
days fighting, and its previous forced
marches, and was also greatly reduced IN
numbers, having lost nearly twenty thou,
sand men, killed, wounded, and missing
saying nothing of stragglers. Directly to
pursue Lcethrough the mountains, in narrow
passes, would have enabled him, with a strong
rear guard, to have held Meade in chcck iii
he could have rcassemhled his army in the
Cumberland Valley, and then thrown his
masses on the heads of his columns WHEN he
forced his way through, or he could have
detained Meade so long in the mountains
that lac could easily have gotten away with
the main portion Of his army, ii he 80 de-
sired.
1t was plain that if Lee chose to run away
no one in pursuit could stop him, and that
the only chance WAS to endeayorto intercept
him at HagerstOwn, providing lac WAS not
retiring as fast as he might have done. The
rise in the Potomac favored Meade, who
was able 10 concentrate his army in Lees
vicinity leiure lie had crossed. But Lee
was found in very strong position, with all
his artillery placed, and with his whole army
/ behind hrcustwnrhs ready to a, ioud "r OPP

The Government and the Ne

The question ofthe largely increasing num-
bers OF contrabands now entirely dependent
on the United States Government for support
is becoming q rather perplexing one. In New
Orleans alone, and along the borders Of the
Mississippi now In the hands Of the federal
government, thsreo are probably as many ne
groes as Union Soldiers--amounting neces-
sarily to several thousands All these fugi-
tives have to be clothed and fed by the gov.
ernment, aud the tax upon the people for this
purpose is very severe So, also, at place
called New Hayti, near Newbern, N G., there
s now full colony of blacks, numbering
some eight or ten thousand All these are
being supported by government and If we
were TO pursue the investigation much further,
we should End that there are not less than
ons hundred thousand negroes in the South
supported BY the government at enormous ex-

Excitement In View YORK:

The telegraph informs us OF a conflict
of military authority in New York. The
Administration has placed General Wool
at New York as Commander Of the "De-
partment of the East which includes the
State of New York. General WooL is
sued orders to the commanding officers Of
the militia of the State to report to him.

ernment, by force of arms if need be
