Lees Army---Statcment OF Gen.
Lees Orderly.

A Washington dispatch Of Thursday says
"One of Gen. Lees orderles, private Tay.
lor, of the 4th Virginia Cavalry, came into
our lines yesterday and arrived here to day.
He has been iu the rebel army about fifteen
months, and the last three months has been
on duty as orderly to Gen. Lee, whose win.
ter quarters arc upon the road from Orange
Court House 10 Verdiorsvills, about two
miles from the former place.
''Gen. Lee lives in tent without any floor
in it, having refused to put one in as Others
were having done. lie keeps very much to
himself, never drinks Or sweap, aud Is very
popular with the army, who.have implicit re-
lance il the old man.
"Ceneral ]. B. Stuart has his headquarters
about two miles from Lees headquarters, and
or the road to Robinson's river. His camp
is on the side of the mountain, 10 the woods
His force 10 reduced BY casualties, dsseriion
by loss Of horses and 10y going homo to re.
cruit, until they have scarcely enough men TO
do camp duty.
Mr.. Taylor isa young man. and has rela.
tives 10 Ohio. His chances for knowing the
strength and condition Of the rebel army were
good, and his story is credited at the War
Department. He says there arc not now left
iu the vicinity Of Orange Court House, in
Lees entire command, over twenty-five thou.

last month Lee has been giving furfoughs lib
erally:to all who would re-enlist, 10 60 home

given them.
"Gen. Lee tells his officers that the YAM
KEGS will be filling up their armies in March
and he mus, be ready for them. He says he
will have sixty thousand men by that
time AMI can hold double that number iu
check.
"Oyer two hundred m,n have been shct
during the winter for dssertion. They were
captured ir trying TO get over 10 our lines and
at home, not being willing 10 return tcthe' ar

account, have ceased to have any value in The
rebel army, namely, paper money and life.--
Private soldiers have long ceased 10 use mon

"Many refused 10 take their pay wher
