FROM GENERAL LEES kREY.
fFRoN OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. !
AaNY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA,
Near Orancn L.. IL Dec & Ii

.NSnt ofabSC ~ ~ btt. g iooo.
The situation seems 10 he this: Meade fuding
himself unable to force General Lee back towards
Richmond by mere display IN his front, has re-
tired certainly behind the Kapldan, and report says
he Is tearingup the railway between the Rappa-
hannsek and Rapidan rivers, and preparing TO g,
behind tue Rappahannock to winter his army.
Our army is In its Old position and preparing
comfortable quarters for the winter, if, indeed
Generals Lee and Meade shall permit them. The
roads, however, now as hard as pavenieuts. and
the weather though quite cold has been clear for
the last few days, and the winds have been just
high enoush TO assist the suns rays in the drying
process.
A Pos, Office has recently been established TO go
along with this army as IL moves. Captain John l.
this nrniy, aud Secretary of the last Va. Conven-
pon, 10 postmaster. he has gone TO work Ia earnsst
and Is dischavging the dulles with great satsfac-
tioD. There are ABOUT ten thousand letters sent
from the POst-Uf each day and as many re-
ceived. This keeps the smployees-a9h: clerks
quite tlsy from early morn until long past
midnight of each day. In this connection
I have been requested by Captain EabaDk
practical benefit TO the soldiers. 1t Is this: A.
The present time there not less than four hun
dred unpaid letters remaining In the army post
Office for soldiers, and large number 0i neWspa-
Now il so happens that neither each soldier in the
army, nor nne from every company, but only one
from, each brigade, known as The brigade mai
carrier visits the army post odicS daily TO receive
the mail. These mail carriers decline to take
mail matter which the postage 10 unpaid. The
result is these letters and papers never reach, to
the great annoyance OF those to whom they are ad-
dressed, and TO the pos, office, on whose hands
tIieys accumulate Ia large and unwieldy packages.
Cannot sHen.ion be called to thia fact by oil the
papers? II will be doing the soldiers service.
SUNDAY was a bright, beautiful day, and a large
audience turned out at the Episcopal Church AT
Orange G. H., where Rev. Or. Wilmer, Of Albe-
marie, preached most able and excellent sermon.
AmoIg his auditors wsr. Gems. H. E. Lee, Hi,
t'hz Lee, J. =. B. stuart, aud other leading OBJ
GERS OF the army, besides Iuany OF the private sol
diers Or. Wilmer frequently visits the army, and
his sermons are ALWAYS productive Of good.
Our captures In prisoners since Meade first be-
gan tie forward movement will amount 90 eight
hundred, which will In somo measure compensate
for the losses at Rappahannock bridge.
To-day some fifty or sixty bOxeS OF clothing ar
rived, containing shirts. drawers, socks, pants.
and jackets, Tor the army. There IS still demand
far blankets. \.

Citms'e! 1riats-During the past twelve
months, in the Hustings Court Of the city
OF Richmond, Judge VIM Ii. Lyous presid-
Ing, there have been tsoo hundred and tour-
teen cases Of felony disposed of. OF this num-
ber one hundred and seventy five have actu-
ally been tried, and thirty.nine dismissed By
.io''e proseqm. Of the trials, we think at
least seven-elghths have been convicted. or
the thirty-nine discharged, they were not
brought TO trial because Of the absence Of
witnesses or principals, and the fact that
where parties were indicted in seven or
eight offences, they were sent to the peni-
tentiary on two for long periods. Another
remarkable fact ID that most OF the crimi-
nails are from other States, and several OF the
NUMBER are parOled Yankee prisoaera.
