THE SITUATION.

Dispatches to northern papers state that
lees army is drawn up in liue of battle three
miles beyond Boonsboro', and that from the
position of our army a collision may occur at
any moment.
From the fact that Lee did not make his
stand at South Mountain, strong defensive
position, but allowed our forces to occupy
Boonsboro, it would appear that he has made
his line rather to protect his crossing when the
river shall g tordable, than to seek battle on
the Maryland side. Perhaps, also, the presence
of Couch on the Chambersburg road with 8
considerable force may have had something to
do with Lees declension to make a stand at
South Mountain.
Unless, however, Lee should seek a battle by
attacking, or should show disposition to get
awayacross the river, we thinksit quite posi-
BILE that collision may not occur soon as
seems to be anticipated by some, Meade is
certainly gaining strength relatively by delay
beyond what the enemy will be able to. and
thus he has no occasion to precipitate battle
On the high ground near Willansport, on
the Maryland side, Lee has good defensive
position, though lot equal to that yielded by
him at South Mountain. The road approach
ing Williamsport from Hagerstow WIN (six miles
distant) is an excellent one but the roads from
Boonsboro' to Williamsport are both inferior
mud roads.

MARTINsBURG, July 6.-Reports to-day alf
concur that there was heavy fight yesterday,
in which we defeated the enemy and drove him
3miles. A vast number of prisoners are re-
ported taken by Gen. Lee. The prisoners re-.
fuse to be paroled and are on the way to Rich
mond by this place. This has been the
bloodiest battle of the war. Our loss is very
great, the enemy's immense
The Yankee cavalry injured the pontoon
bridges at Failing Waters, miles from this
place to-day, and captured wagons.
The Dispatch has leader on the position of
the two armies, in which it says:
alt appears evident to us, from Meades dis
patches of Friday, that Gen. Lee has at last
obtained the object of his long and anxious
labors, and that he has brought the remnant
of the army OF the Potomac into a position in
which he may destroy it at a single blow.
aHis plan begins to develop itself more fully,
and in proportion as it does SO we are more and
more struck with the long forecast of the mind
which conceived it. Knowing full we'll that
the battle of Charlottesville so crippled the
army of Hooker that he could not interfere
with his designs, he determined to carry the
war into the enemys own country, to make
them feel what the horrors of war actually
were, and to support his army upon their
abundance.
ssHis movements compelled Hooker to follow
him, released Richmond from all actual dan :
ger, &C., and at the same time were SO admir-.
ably masked that the Yankee Bobadf could
form no conception of his intentions. The cap.
ture of Winchester opened the way into the
heart of Pennsylvania, and into it Lee poured
his whole army.
ssThe rapid progress of his advanced corps
soon compelled the Yankee army to leave their
position around Washington and come in pur-
suit OF him, and this, beyond all doubt, Lse
foresaw 4 What the result will be,
or has been, past events do not permit us to
doubt. Whenever we have met the Yankees
we have beaten them. and they have rarely
been less than three 70 one.

Several notorious rebels who have been iiy

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THEY DON'T LIKE 1T,


Edgar Snowden, jr., Esq, editor of the re-
yiyed Alexandria Gazette. having refused to
testify his loyalty to the United States by taking
the required oath of allegiance, has, among
others OF Alexandria who occupy the same po-
sition, been ordered to go among those to whom
he and they profess fealty. Whereupon, in a
yaledictory, he intimates that his case is a hard
one, indeed His Union fellow citizens of Al
exandria, we know we'll, entertain no such
view of the matter.
Men there who hold his sentiments are all
open and ayowed aideTs and abetters of the
treason OF the times to the extent of their ability
to aid it without risking their necks in Union
halters. The presence of one traitor at least in
Union garrisoned town like Alexandria
from whence secessionists keep up regular sur
rtptitious communication with the traitors in
arms, is more dangerous to the cause for which
loyal men are doing battle than that of a regi-
ment of guerillas prowling beyond the lines of
our pickets. Were his case reversed-were he
Union nan within the traitors lines, refusing
to take the oath of allegiance to the traitors
pretended government, and openly ayowing
that he regarded his allegiance as being due to
the United States-he would not be free to
go among his friends. Instant confiscation a
dungeon nauseous with yermin and filth and
then scaffold, would be his portion, if a lack

point of the bayonet The treason of the times
has been able 10 maintain itself so far only
through such invariable treatment of Union
men in its clutches.

who do not take stand heartily for the Union
cause must be treated as asowed traitors. The
action of the Government i'll sending persons
IN the position of these Alexandrians beyond
our lines, rather than forcing them into the
military service or otherwise dealing with
them somewhat after the fashion in which
jeff Davis d Co. deals with ayowed or even
suspected Union men in their power, is, there
FORE the highest evidence of the lenient dispo-
sitlon OF our authorities and should rightly be
received with gratitude by those thus favored,
rather than as oppression, such as Mr.. Edgar
Snowden, jr., seems to be inclined to regard it.
