till famine forced Lee out Of bis trenchers in
the hope to defeat the national forces and 50
recover his communications. Lee, however,
did not wait till he was forced, but. like tie
brave commander he has shown himself 10 be,
marched at once to Charlottesville, and flung
himself against Uookers lines. 1t ia hardly t.
be doubted that his whole army was holdins
the Rappahannock line when Hooker crossed
it, and had not. as yesterday seemed possible
fallen back TO the North Anna. 10 these
circumstances, delay is all in Hooker,
favor. He has been deemed al
impetuous leader. Mark the consummate judg
ment and GOODNESS with which he halted after
concentrating his forces south Of the river, and
awaited tho attack which he knew his out
generated enemy was compelled ~ make. He
need not hasten to assume the offensive. Lei
Lee dash against those veteran lines till ht
has worn out bis own forces with the persist,
ence and desperation of his effort. While on
his side victory il necessary to the preservaton-
even to the existence OF his army Gen. Hooker
has only to hold his own. Not to DO defeated
is for him victory.
Neither, therefore, in the news which We
have received by mail, nor in the silence
which tho Government preserves, nor in the
relative positions Of the two forces. do We find
cause for other than confident expectation Of
decisive success. 1t may be presumed there
has been heavy work, the result of which We
do not know; but We regard it as very prob.

Tsl.oo PER ANNUM
ARMY BUSINESS IN CONGRESS.

Congress having got rid, in part of Taxation,.
Currency, &C., is now occupying itself more ac j
lively in the details OF the great business And
one thing needful-the organic zatiou of the ar
my. The Exemption bill, which has under.
gone many tran determinations, has been put on
It's passage in the House. sfr sts
In the Senate the bill to organizea General
Staff for the army, together with proposed
substitute, has been ordered to be printed.
= a bill to correct great abuse, namely--ab.
SERGE o. officers and privates without leave
has passed The Senate, ard gone to the House.
IT provides tor stappage Of pay in case OF ab~f
scerce without leave, or hey ond the time of
iurluugb. Captains OF Companies to note such
dehnquencies muster and pay>rolls, in or
der that the pay may be deducted penalty of
falling to uote, IS directed, the Captain him
self to forfeit he amount otpay officers
their pay accounts to certify upon honor wheth
and how long they have been without leave,
&c. We fear the proposed remedy is made
4uate 70 the grievance and that nothing bat
some sudden, sharp and decisive examples
Will cure the evil The bill does not propose
to Go away with the other penalties to which
officers aud men are now liable for this inexcu-
sable military offence.
The Senate has also passed bill allowing
newspapers 20 be sent TO soldiers tree of pos
tage. Another, allowing ration of tobacco
has been reconsdered in TIE Senate. This meas
ure and in a liberal form, ought decidedly to-
be passed into law. There is plenty of tobao-
co m the country, but at the present monstrous
prices it takes almost the whole of a soldiers
pay TO provide luxury, which is to very
D,any necessity. eEG.se
There is oill pending to abolish fogging in
the Confederate army. We are in favor of
very severe punishment for INSTRUMENTATION
and desertion j, and what is still better than
Sc ,erity, is certainty. Those who disgrace the
service, and their State, and their comrades,
Ought 10 have punishment both sharp and se-
we're, and their is no room iu our hearts for,
compassion for such scoundrels Yet. we favor
the abolition Of the canine punishment of hog'
ging. White men ought not to beylsited by
penalty go degrading that no manly spirit
