GENERAL LEES ARNY.-Most people, judging from
General LEES orders, dated January 22d, 1864, are
under the impression that soldiers there are on
short commons Now We have seen, within the week,
persons including officers and privates from more than
one regiment, who had just come from the army OF
Northern Virginia, ard they all told US that the short
ratons were only temporary, the result Of some mis-
management among the coEmissaries. Without ex-
ception, all whom we have Iook hearty ard ike
anything else than starved men, They also speak cheer
fully. 1t is a little remarkable that the troops who
have seen the hardest service those who grumbe
the least.

THE VERMONT. CAVALRY on KILPArRcK's
RAMA letter in the Rutland Herald gives
an account Of the late raid. the details given
not differing from those already published.
The writer says Col. Dahlgren started from
the Rapidan in advance Of the main body,
with detail from different regiments to the
number of five hundred men. Nearly one
hundred were from the Vermont cavalry
regiment,-sixty-fve were from Co. &. and
twenty-eight from Co. X.
About O'Clock Tuesday morning they
struck the James River, twenty-one miles
above Richmond, at Mason's farm, and halted
long enough to feed their horses, and do sun
dry damages
About two o'clock they arrived within
one mile of the first line of forti6cations be
fore Richmond and halted four hours. waiting
to hear from Gen. Fitzpatrick. just before
dark, they passed the line of fortifcations,
and met the enemy one mile beyond. By
this time it was quite dark but Col. Dahl
gren Immediately ordered a charge. The
rebels stood up bravely' but our boys made
three charges..and drove them back over two
miles to within two miles Of the city. taking
about one hundred prisoners who seemed
glad they were captured
The writer gives no account Of the death
Of Col. Dahlgren. He says
Wednesday morning at daylight found Us
on the move ttyingto pick our way to join Kill
patrick; but IT was no easy matter, for by this
time some of Stusrt's cavalry had made their
appearance in. the neghborhood. We did not
care much for the rebel infantry, because we
could easily avoid them. At one time We saw
at n cross roads where two thousand rebel cav
airy had just finished their breakfast, and had
moved on towards Richmond only few min
utes before We arrived but Il was here We heard
Fitzpatrick had passed only few hours before.
so we had more hope Of finding our way to his
columns.
We joined the division near the Pamunkey
river, and did not find it all cut to pieces
as the citizens told us it Was Col. Dahlgren s
command lost over one hundred men,"

Writes that curious chronicler Clenrsy
The Emperor Charles the Fifth one day
n his trusty Squire-at-Arms did say,
Tomorrow we start on new foray,
And our soldiers camp must move away
But this tent Of mine shall planted stay,
And us top be crowned by our colors gay,
Though no living soul he left behind
To mark them iuttering in the wind
The Squire then answered the royal word
"i cur Majesty's tent shall not be stirred
But ask my wise and gracious lord
some reason 10 me for this accord
No other tent IS ample and warm
To shield from the weather your slender
form.
That argent emblazon greets weary eye.
And i, kindles a vision Of victory.
And in front Of the footsore and fslterinr
ranks,
Il courage inspires, and it promises thanks
And the victor's wreath when with trumpet
and drum

And ieft the tent TO its solitude
