SIGNS OF THE TINES

The rebel newspapers are now wailing over
a wholesale deserton of Alabarnians from
Bragg's army, as three or four days previous
ly they walled over similar desertion Of Mis-
ssslppians from Joe job nstons army, and but
a week previous to that time they also walled
over the dispersion of Pembertons paroied
army that had been ordered to proceed to Gin.
ton, Mississippi, to be kept together in camp
awaiting exchange.
These occurrences indicate Enthusiastically
that our successes in the West have virtually
destroyed the rebel armies in that quarter,
renting to their respective homes in that
way quite many rebel soldiers as we have
killed, wounded and made prisoners of in the
late campaigns in that quarter.
Under these circumstances, il is hardly pos
sibie that Mobile will fail to be ours in a very
few weeks. Confidence in Gilmore's and
Dahlgren's ability to reduce Charleston in due
time remains un shaken here: or rather in
creases hourly. 1t is not proper for us to say
why; but we certainly know the fact. From
this day for 4 month or two, our forces on the
Atlantic slope must be greatly increased in
numbers and efficiency by the infusion of large
numbers of drafted men into all the regiments
in service there, in such proportions only as
will make them Immediately available and
reliable in any possible emergency. Knowing
this fact, we sac no reason why the country
should manifest Impotence for immediate &C
tivity on the part of our armies operating any
where east of the Alleganies.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
TIE SITUATION

IL
Thela.estintormation from the rontstrength-
ems our belief that the cause why q considera-
bic battle has not been fought since Sunday
morning last, is that Lee has retired his army
in the direction of Gordonsville rather than
Fredericksburg though he doubtless holds the
works around the latter point with some por-
tion of his forces. We know facts sufficient to
satisfy us that he has made Gordonsville his
base of supplies, and has sent to that place all
his supplies and material advisable for him to
have In his rear.
He, however, doubtless keeps up show OF
considerable force with strong and rapidly
shifting accommodating parties close to our
present positions on the Rappahannock to the
end of discouraging any considerable move
ment on Meade's part in the direction of the
Rapidan. We are therefore momentarily ex-
pecting to hear that Meade has demonstrated
TO his own satisfaction that Lee does not in
tend TO risk an engagement in force east of the
Rapidan, if anywhere outside OF the defenses
of Richmond.

CASUALTIES TO THE IRON CLADS IN TIE
LATE ACTIONS.


BOSTON, August 5.-A letter to the Trarier,
from the vicinity of Charleston, contains the
following:
"Since leaving Charleston haTbor, l learn
that a number of officers of the iron ciads have
been obliged to retire, in CONSCIENCE of the ex-
hausting character OF the duties on board, and
their places supplied by others.
Another serious accident has occurred on
board the iron. clal Nahant. They were con.
densing water, and as ii had been rather brack.
ish much pains was taken to remedy the evil.
The officer on deck requested the Captain ofthe
hold to bring him little to try AS the tank
was unscrewed, the steam and boiling water
rushed out, scaldng terribly seven men, in
some instances causing the skin to PEEL off
They were skilfuliy attended to by Dr.. Sted-
man. They are all on board the Vermont at
Port Royal and likely to recover.
During the recent attack upon Fort Wagner,
the Nahant had two shots to penetlste her
decks, while the stern Of the vessel was ,pened
three inches by shot from Fort Wagner.

Moseby's gang were in full feather, some
two hundred strong, on Monday, this side of
Fairfax g. H., picking up every Government
wagon going up or down. This pest has
grown too annoying to be longer suffered, and
we expect soon to hear that the gang has been
extirpated; difficult as the job is to seize a
body Of marauders who Turk in by-roads and
swamps, dress in citizens clothes, and are os-
tensibly engaged on their farms considerable
portion OF the time; and who, on being con-
fronted by an adequate force, separate and
