Provost Marshal General

The FAILURE TO ATTACK LEE. The
Correspondent of the New York Times,
SAYS the considerations which operated TO
prevent an attack upon Lee were the fact
that our army was continually gowlng
stronger by reenforcements, and belief
that Lee could neither receive supplies
and troops, nor make his escape. Our IN
formation as to the state of the Potomac
was very unreliable and stories which
afterward proved true-such as that the
rebels were crossing on fat-boats and pom
toons at Willamsport-were discredited.
The escape created great deal of dlsap-
pointment in Meade's army. Our soldiers
would sooner have fought the rebels two
to one, than chase them all over Virginia
again. Carleton" of the Boston Jour
nal, gives vary hopeful view of affairs.
He says Meade did not set down and suck
