Again the talk has commenced about another ag'
eretsive movement on the part Of the COfederates.
You can rest assured that the army knew nothing
about such change in the military programme until
informed by tie Washington papers. Nothing has
occurred to convince m.ltary men 10 the army OF
such an intended movement on the part Of the
Rebels. Trey TOO we'll remember the results OF
thcir Mary campaign. Besides if they know
the strength of our army, they know It would he Il
hazardous undertaking, for cur army is 700 Buner-
Gus ami is moraic lie 100 good TO insure tie safety
OF an aggressive movement on their part.
! The kcles always mar euver many troops in our
view when they are the weakest. Their moyouen,
toward CGlpepper means this. Nothing would
please Gen. Hooker more th9u Rebel attempt 10
cross the Rappahsnnock Ills army wonld be slim.
ulated, and they would make fight that would
eclipse al other fights OF the old Potomsc Army.
There is report to-day that Lee has irsued an order
10 his trooys which foreshsdows the policy Of iu-
vason Of Maryland. 1 don't believe the report
enough TO telegraph II to THE Tribune.
BURROUGHS STOPPED.
Furloughs have been gwen for ten and twenty
DAYS from all the corps in TIE army for the last
week Yesterday an order came that no more
should be granted. This looks ike work. This
looks ar if Fighting joe not going to be I'M
movement.
ARMY PURvEYoRs.
Army purvevor, hsve been great burden to IN.
army aud many of these rascals have gotten nch
through the famine prices charged for articles OF sub
sistcrce. These puryeyorships are now abolished,
snd the old regime Of sutlership Is re-es absbed.
This allows competition, and wall reduce prices very
materially in the army.
EXoRBITANT PRICES PAID FOR NEWSPAPERS
IN THE ARMY.
Why tie commander Of the army should allow
Newspaper veudes TO swiudle the soldiers by selling
pewspapers at such exorbitsnt prices d mystery.
A newspaper which costs nj Acquia LanoiDg or
Brooks Station g. 30 by the hundred IL sold % SOL
dIers at $40 hundred, or ten cents apiece. There
ia a shameful monopoly somewhere, which officers
should stop, and thus protect the men from being
swiudled 4 lad on the James Brooks sells 400 pa
pers per day at ten cents apiece. This amounts TO
$40 Tic actual cost Of these papers TO HIM 10 slO
lie thus mskes SO per day.
Mauy OF the small boys in the army make $l0 and
slj per day and this comes out OF the soldier WHO Ia
riskna his life 70 earn $l3 per month. There 10 "a
combination somewhere. Gen. Hooker sssures mo
tbst he knows nothing about this shameful monopoly.
