While the horrors of the Gettysburg battlefield
haunt the brain Of the mere observer, Ike fearful
nightmare. the officers and men engaged III that
terrible conflict seem only intent upon reengsging
the enemy, and through another baptism of blood to
determine for all time the nomentous issues IN
yolved in the struggle Not only in fighting, but
in the long, wesrisome marches, with blstered feet
and empty stomschs performed most cheerfully and
with scarce niuTmer or complaint, does the Army
of the Potomac command the gratitude and admira-
ton of The friends of liberty everywhere.
This has been the seveIest campaign ever endured
by that army, vet never has it so uncomplsinngls
submitted to the discomforts and trials imposed and
when at last, al the utmost point of physical endur'
ance the men were marched into the fight, never did
the most valiant heroes of history bound more enthu
sasicaly into the wild vortex of battle. The heroic
conduct of all our men, of every corps, VIII hve
while praise or song shall make historic mans mob
lest deeds.
While / write, all the indications in military
quarters of our army portend another immediate
terrific trial of arms with the Rebel forces, and yet
nv own individual convictions to the contrary.
Some good military judges agree with me, but a
majority consider another fight this side OF the river
as inevitable. cannot give all the reasons why l
believe Lee means to escape to Richmond without
giving US battle, but one strong ground of my belief
based upon the fact Of Lees retiring this morning
from Hagers,own down to Williamsport and to the
neck of land in tine river opposite Falling Waters,
where, as a resident just escaped from that vicinity
assures me- Lee has his entire army massed.
He says Lee has bridge there, that his cavalry
can now ford aud that he is getting his army across
with as much expedition as possible. l am inclined
to think this true, for 1t lie well known that Lee is
deficient both in supplies of food and ammunition on
this side Of the river.
A deserter who came into camp yesterday, asserts
that Lee was determined TO whip our army, and as
sured his men that if they could only manage to
make break in our lines and "get our men 60
ing" the thing would he up with Meade. He re
ports the news Of the fall of Vicksburg as having
been kept from their men. According to his state
ment Lee went into Pennsylvania with about 80
BOO men, and has lost in killed, wounded deserted
and captured, about $1,000.
Gen. Meade is constantly on the alert. See him
out what hour of the day you will, and you will
learn that he has been examining our lines on the
tront in person. He knows bis enemy, and knows
doesn't mean to let him do so The country may
rest assured tha; he will do all that any man do
toward the utter annibiation Of Lees army.
think should Lee find escape impossible, be will
turn and give US battle by Monday next at furhest
hnd he will fight his with the abandon Of the
desperate gambler who has everything staked upon
bis last throw. The telegraphs will advise you Of
the positive results and must close to get your dis
patches through. BETA.
