Miscellaneous.
CHICAGO, July 12-Advices from the theatre of
military operations on the Upper Potomac seem to
render il almost certain that Lee has succeeded in
placing his army in a position where, if not speedily
attacked, he can withdraw safely to the Virginia
side of the Potomac. On Friday night he Withdrew
his lines at Antietam. and massed his army on the
neck of land opposite Falling Waters. This neck is
surrounded on three sides by the Potomac, thus
effectually protecting his tanks, evidently giving
him n decided advantage in position, and enabling
him to proceed with the work of crossing in compar-
alive security. Dispatches intimate that Meade Will
at once attack the new rebel position. There is,
however, little ground to hope that he will succeed
in damaging the rebel army to any very great
extent.
