hEBEI. DESPATCHES.-On the lSt inst, there was captured at Greencastle, Gen. Lees pri- vate orderly and his entire escort. who had very important despatches from Jeff. Davis to Gen. Lee, together with orders to Lees various generals, muster and puyrolls. and other army matter. The most important of these papers was a letter from Jeff. Davis to Lee, and showed the weakness of the latter, and had a favorable effect upon the result which followed the battle of Gettysburg. The following are some of the points contained in the letter, which was dated Richmond. June, 29.
 Davis feared bis raid into Pennsylvania was great mistake. It was an error to suppose that the Army of the Potomac had been so eluced by the discharge of the two years and nine months men as to make victory an easy matter. The acressions to our army by new troops and militia were three tunes greatsr than our losses. The facts, when the expe dition was planned, were unknown. It was utterly impossible to organize reserve army at Culpeppsr, as Lee had suggested, owing to the fact that D. H. Hills command had been largely reduced reinforcing other points, and it was equally impossible to spare single man from Beaure gard's command, however needed. Johnston could not succeed against Grant with out them, and Davis had fears for the fate of vicksburg, Davis was sorry he could not forward money to Lee, The guartermaster general tells Lee that he cannot sepd him snp- plies and ordnance without horses, and the campaign pnst be abandoned unless animals are immediately sent to Virginia; Lee must also keep open line of communication and retreat.
 GRANT AS SMoKER.-The General Is, in camp, addicted to the use of the weed" to g moderate extent; but on the battlefield. he indulges more than usual. The moro desperate the battle the more extravagant his use of Gu bas and Principes. When his men are pushing forward, and the enemy giving way, the blue smeke ascends at regular intervals in small and scarcely peresptible curls. When the gronnd is being contested, his face is lost ia Cuban exhalations. When there is a prospect that the day will go against him, he ceases to smoke and commences to punish his innocent exotic by vigorously biting the end of it. When he rides along the line without cigar, there is no enemy in front except small body ol Rebel cavalry, and he knows it.
 Ifapybody is dissatisfied with Federal money let hin go South and get Confederate money If anybody is dissatisfied with United States taxes, let him go South and pay Southern taxes. If anybody is dissatisfied with the United States enrollment let him go South and enjoy the benefits of the Southern Con. scription.
