Lee at Williamsport.

The dispatches concur in the statement
that LEE is attempting to cross the bulk Of
his army at Williamsport, Maryland. He
could not have chosen this place, except
as matter of the last necessity. Ford
ing is impossible there, with ordinary
water, and totally SO, at the present stage.
The chances for ferrying, even, are ex-
ceedingly limited, even if he had flatboats
in abundance; for the approaches to the
river, on the north bank are difficult, and
narrow.
As we recollect it, Williamsport is also
bad place for LEE to be compelled to
fight at. He cannot geta position, COM
manding the ferry, which will furnish him
any advantage Such an advantage he
must have, or be annihilated. Assuming
the fact as stated by telegraph, that he is
attempting crossing at Williamsport, and
we cannot conceive how he is to escape
utter destruction.

The First Minnesota.

The dispatch, elsewhere published, from
Senator WILKINSON to Gov. RAMSEY, set
ting forth the terrible losses of the First
Minnesota in the battle at Gettysburg,
will cause much sorrow all over the State.
1t seems almost incredible that out of
about four hundred men who went into
the fight less than one-fourth escaped
wounds or death, but from the proportion
of officers who fell, we are compelled to
believe that such is the fact. None who
witnessed the departure Of the regiment
from our levee on the 22d of June, 1861,
ever dreamed that less than one hundred
would be all that could be mustered in a
little over two years. Nobly has the
regiment maintained the honor of the
flag and the credit of the State The
name of every man, living or dead, who
ever belonged to it, will have conspicu-
Gus place in our rolls of honor, and be
held in immortal remembrance.
