THE GENERAIsHIP or MEADE-THE ESCAPE OF
LEE-It appears, from the most recent intelli
gence from the Army of the Potomac, that Gen.
Meade was influenced in bis decision not to at
tack Lee at Wiliamsport by council of war,
which was equally divided-four being in favor
OF the attack and four against. Though, as is
stated, Gen. Meade himself was in favor OF the
attack, he would not take the responsibility OF
giving his casting vote on that side The result
shows that great error was committed, and
that had Lee been attacked on the day before
he crossed the river his whole army would have
been captured or destroyed, and the rebellion
would have received its final blow Meade lost
a grand and golden opportunity. 1t is known
that Hooker after the battle of Chancellors-
vile, was influenced in the same way by a
council of war to retreat across the Potomac
which few hours convinced him was fatal
blunder
Napoleon the greatest master of the art OF
war, lays it down as wise maxim that com
manding general ought never to be guided by
a council of war as to the propriety of his Civ
ing battle, because the chances are that a
timid and cautious course will be advised,
whereas in war boldness, when directed by a
sound mind, succeeds in nine cases out of ten.
Meade ought to have depended on his own
judgment and to have made the attack fearless
ly, the odds being all in his favor.
But it is not yet too late to pursue and inter-
cept the army Of Lee. BY the latest accounts
he was still at Winchester. Let him be vigor-
ously followed up, and let the victory Of Get
tysburg be crowned by the destruction or
capture Of the whole rebel army Of Virginia.
and there is necessarily an end to the war We
hope General Haleck has no new combinations
to make which will arrest pursuit of Lee and
protract the struggle into another year.

Tn. storm Abates.

The aspect OF the city yesterday presented a
marked contrast to the excited and deplorable
state Of affairs which existed during the pre-
cedng portion of the week. Whatever Of
popular feeling may have peryaded the masses
seemed 10 be placed in abeyance; for there was
no external demonstration to be observed.
Property was respected, even in those districts
which had heretofore exhibited the most de-
cided resistance to authority, nor was there any
bloodshed to STAIN the record Of the days pro-
ceedings. In the lower portions of the city
everything preserved its ordinary appearance,
while in the wards hitherto disturbed by coils
ions between the people, the military and the
police, no scenes of violence were renewed,
although business was still suspended.
Dr;.pg the day two or three regiments arrived
| from The seat Of war to sustain the authorities
in the preservation of the peace, should their
| presence be required. General Harvey Brown
has been superseded in the command of the
military, and General Candy has taken his
place. and will heaceiorth direct the employ
ment of the troops wherever necessary in car
ryng out the Conscription law, which it is de-
c.dcd by the government to enforce. The order
of Colonel Nugent, the Assistant Provost Mar
shall General, issued on Wednesday, to the
effect that the draft was suspended, appears to
have been misapprchended. Many supposed
that the draft was abandoned. This is not 50,
vost Marshal General at Washington, re-
ceived here yesterday, states that the draft
was not suspended at any time, and directs The
Provost Marshals to continue it wherever prac-
ticable, promising at the same time that they
shall be amply sustained by the military power
Of the government. 1t will thus be seen that
the conscription is to go on wherever it is in
process all ever the country.

AS we have said, the violence of the past few
days was entirely abated yesterday. Let us
hope that, whatever may transpire il. the future,
we shall not be compelled to witness the scenes
