OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THE SITUATION.

The SITUATRONs
Up to this morning, we feel sure no further
general fighting had taken place between our
army an that Of the rebels under Lee In the
anwhile, our cavalry have been making al
most hourly more captures of rebel prisoners,
wagons, &C., until the aggregate number of the
former in our hands is about 11.OOO, (including
wounded prisoners.) This we know to be true
The longer the river remains up the more we
will take, even though there may not be an
other general engagement north of the Potomac.
Lee certainly has great I'D vantages for facili-
tating the escape of the remnant OF his army in
the nature of the country around him; abound
ing almost everywhere with narrow, rocky and
precipitous passes Al : gorges quickly to be
fortified against pursu ng forces.
1t is to be presumed that Gen. Meade, while
striving to get at the r bel army in some posi-
ton which will not in itself almost ensure vic
DRY TO the latter, is too shrewd soldier to seek
q general engagement where he cannot reason
ably hope to accomplish something of import
ance sufficient to justify considerable sacrifice
of life on his part.
If the rebel army shall manage to get over
the river without being forced to another grand
engagement, which is by no means impossible,
we do not see that their condition will be much
improved, as our means of crossing after them
are ample for immediate service; and with
both armies again south of the Potomac, they
can be brought TO fight upon ground not OF their
own choosing, uni SIS electing TO leave their
communication with Richmond utterly de.
strUyed; which alternative must speedily prove
fatal 10 them. Our whole loss, since the COM
mencenlent of the fighting on Wednesday OF
last week, we are glad TO learn, on most reliable
authority, does not turn out to be over ten or
twelve thousand in killed, wounded and miss
ing; the number of the s'mIssing'' being but
insignificant At General Meade's headquar-
tiers the enemys total loss, up to this time is set
down at $4,000, with fair prospect that if Lee
should succeed in recrossng the river, he will
fad himself minus from five to ten thousand
more. .-ts.s
We base this conclusion upon the fact that
rebel stragglers and Geserters are falling into
cur hands by droyes, on all sides of Lees line
OF retreat.

more. He was found dead in his bed at five

delphia, June g. 1890; Bishop of Philadelphia
in 1s42, and transferred to the See of Baltimore

From the foregoing. it appears that consid-

in no other city in the Union, and the extent to
which this privilege is used here and the cur.

the figures above given, from which it appears
that over one third Of all the passengers car

cally reducing their fare over each Of the con-
Meeting roads to two. and.a-half cents.
The low rates upon this road is further illus

The comparative cost Of running roads here
over roads other cities, is set forth in the re.
port In the higher pay to employees, higher
price for horse feed, &C.; showing that in no
city of the Union are passenger railroad COM
paEies subjected to SO heavy expenditures in
operating their roads, and in no other city are
the rates of fare really so low as here.
From this data it is ascertained that the cost of
carrying each passenger during the past year
has been 80, cents. and to this must be added de-
probation in road and stock. The figures show
how much OF public convenience and comfort
can be secured by we'll directed enterprise at
