EASTERN NEws-We might fiji our col
umns with such Eastern news as comes over
the Tres, but our readers would fail to OBJ
tain an intelligent idea of the military situa
ton. From Washington there is little or
nothing. Hooker seems to be in the virin,
ity Of Washington, waiting to be attacked.
Lees army is supposed to stretch along the
Blue Ridge in the upper part of Virginia,
and into Maryland and Pennsy lvania. In the
latter State his troops appear to be foraging
right and left, and the people and authorities
are in great ex,ilemect. The military men
are in doubt as to where Lee will strike
whether at Harrisburg or Philadelphia, Bal
tmore or Washingto on. The news is obscure
and unsatisfactory, the eaiings Of sn arhi-
trary and stupid censorship placed upon the
press and telegraph.
