| Movements Of Lees Army-signs OF
Another SanRuinary Campaign.
| Our readers will remember that early in Au-
gust last General Pope's army pushed forward
| to Culpepper Court House, and thence to Cedar
| Mountain, where the advanced column or Gene
raj Banks had severe engagement with the
outlying rebel army Of Stonewall Jackson; that
after this battle Jackson retired, and was pur-
sued by our forces to the Rapidan river, but
| that there, making the important discovery
that the whole rebel army from Richmond was
close upon him, General Pope wheeled about.
and, rapidly retreating across the north fork
| Of the Rappabannock, near Warrenton, there
rashly undertook, with some forty thousand
men, to resist the army of Lee, over hun
bred thousand strong. Remembering these
facts, and the disasters to General Pope's army
which followed the reader will agree with US
that it would be something very remark able il
it should appear that, at the beginning of the
present month of August, the advanced forces
Of our army have again been brought to halt
upon tho Rapdan, in consequence of the pre-
sence there Of the whole army of Lee strongly
reinforced, and in readiness for battle.
But, from certain Information in our pos
session we have reason to believe that
| General Lee has come 10 stand on the south
bank OF the Rapidan; that, having been rein
forced to q considerable extent from Richmond,
he has halted and faced about to give battle to
his pursuers; and that IL he is not shortly ac-
commodated with fight upon his own ground,
he will most probably reassume the offensive
himself, and attempt once more his Bull run,
Washington and Maryland campaign of last
summer. Without assuming 70 know anything
of the present position OF General Meade's
army, we learn that it had been resting for
several days some distance this side of the
Rapidau, and was still resting, and that
when it would move forward again was a very
doubtful matter. Indeed, the idea has been
promulgated from sources supposed to be
seml-ofiicial that the public need not anticipate
any very active military operations in Virginia
for some considerable time to come.
Assuming, then, that General Meade's pur-
suit Of the rebel army has been suspended, we
cannot avoid inquiring what for where is the
difficulty and where lies the responsibility
We are assured that the army Of General
Meade full Of confidence and enthusiasm, is
