tho victory of Fleetwood, achieved, under Provi-
deuce. by the proves of their arms, on the 9Th
inst.
Comrades. two divisions of the enemy's cavalry

day have taught them again the weight OF South

You confronted with cavalry and horse artillery
alone this force, held the infantry in check, rout
ed the cavalry and artillery, capturing three pieces
of the latter without losisg gun, and added SIX
flags to the trophies Of the nation, besides lnf1ct
ing a loss in killed, wounded and missing, at
least double our own, causing the entire force to
retire beyond the Rappahannock.
Nothing but the enemy's infantry, strongly
posted in the woods, saved his cavalry from cap
ture or humiliation. An act of rashness on his
part was severely punished by rout and the loss OF
artillery.
With an abiding faith in the God of battles,
and firm reliance on the sabre, your successes
will continue. Let the example and heroIsm OF
our lamented fallen comrades prompt US to renewed
vigilance and inspire US with devotion to duty.

GEN. LEE.

Frcauent and disastrous as have been the de-
feats sustained by the Fcdcrals at the hands Of
General Lee, they nevertheless entertain the high
est respect for his lofty character and splendid
genius. Just at the close Of the battle OF Chan
ceorsvlle, he passed along the road where several
thousand prisoners were assembled Our troops
greeted the victorious cheftan with deafening
cheers, while the prisoners, eager to see him,
crowded forward and silently and respectfully re-
moved their hats as he rode past them. Well
might they and their whole nation indulge in such
a mark Of respect for one who had overthrow four
of their chosen leaders, and who is never more
modest than in the hour Of triumph
On no occasion were the abilities of our great
Captain more conspicuous than during the late
battle SO quickly did he penetrate the comblna-
tons Of his antagonist, and so rapid We're his
counter movements that Hooker, though allowed
to cross the river, able to deploy his I'M
mensc force and get it into position. True, the
nature of the ground was untavorable to Hookers
designs The large bodies of timber, and the
thick, tangled underground Of the wilderness,
rendered it difficult for him to form advanta-
gcous line and to handle so large mass of men.
Meanwhile, his misfortune was Lees opportunity.
And yet it must be admitted that Hookers plan Of
advance was more full of danger to us than Burn
sides was. Indeed so manifest this that
Gen Lee declared to his officers, and requested
them to so INFORM their commands, That the only
alternative left them "victory or DEATH" and
this, too, not in poetical license, but III literal
truth.
Having returned from Charlottesville to Salem
Church. whore McLaws, Anderson and Early had
envelopcd Sedgwick in their lines, an aide de-camp
inquired of Gen. Lee what he supposed the enemys
next movement would be. The old chief respond
ed that it made but little difference what it might
be-that their position could not be stronger than
