Especial to Herazd.)-Tbe relative stua>
tlons Of the two armies in Virginia to .day
are nearly understood hore. 1t is apparent
that Gen. Meade has the rebel army Of Lee
completely entrapped. Lee is evidently
mass'ng his forces to break his way through
to Richmond, but he will probably find it a
more difficult undertaking than the one at
Gettysburg.
After all the delay, there is now not much
prospect of Lee being able to- get his army
back to Richmond or even SO far as the up
per end OF the Shenandoah valley.
