N. G.. B., now Lieutenant General. British Army

never accused him of any of the greater
ones. He generally wears Well-Worn,
! long gray jacket, a high black ielt hat,
and blue trousers tucked into his yelling
| ton boots. | never saw HIM carry arms,
and the only mark of his military rank
are the three stars on his collar. He rides
| a handsome horse, which Is extremely
well groomed. He himself is very neat III
| his dress and person, and in the mos,
arduous marches he always looks smart
and clean. i never saw either Lee oI
Longstreet carry arms. A. Z. Hill gener-
| ally wears sword.
In the old army he was always con
Sdered one of its best officers and at the
outbreak of these troubles he was Lieu
| tenant Colonel of the I'd Cav. He was a
the first to fall into the enemy's hands,
! | believe he has never slept in a house
since he has commanded the NirginIar
army, and he invariably declines all Of
fers of hos pitality, for fear the person OF
ferlng II may afterwards get into trouble
/ for having sheltered the rebel General.
/ The relations between him and Long
street are quite touching-they are almoS;
always together Longstreet' Corps com
! plain OF this sometimes, as they say that
! they seldom get a chance of detached
service, which falls To the lot of Ewcil. /;
is impossible to please Longstreet more
| than by praising lee. | believe these two
Generals To be as little ambitious and s
| thoroughly unsClfSh as any men in the
world. Both long for a successful term
nation OF the war, in order that they mo '
reiiTe into obScurlty. 1t is understood
that Gen. Lee Is a religious man, though
not SO demonStTative in that respect as
jackson; and, unlike his late trother-i in
arms, he is a member Of the Church of
Eng and.
We marched six miles on the road to-
wards Gettysburg, and encamped at a vii
| lage called q think Greenwood. | rode
Lawley's old horse, he and the Austrian
using the doctor ambulance. In the
evening Gen. LongStreet told me that he
had Just received intelligence II at Hooker
had feen disrated, and that Meade was
appointed in his place. OF course. he
knew both of them in the old army, and
he says that Meade is an honorable and
respectable man. though not, perh& ps, SO
bold as Heok6r.
had a long talk with many officers
about the approaching battle, which evil
IDENTIFY cannot now be delayed long and
Will take place on this road instead of in
the direction of Harrisburg as we had
supposed. Ewell, who has laid York as
well as Carlisle under contribution, has
been ordered to reunite. Every one, of
course, sreaks with confidence.
| marked that it would be a good thing
for them if on this occasion they had
cavalry 10 follow up the broken infantry
IN the event OF their succeeding in beat
ing them. But 10 my surprise they all
spoke OF their cavalry as not efficient for
that purpose. In fact, Stuart's men,
though excellent at making raids, captur-
ing wagons and stores, and cutting off
communications, seem to have no idea Of
charging infantry under any circum-
stances.
Unlike the cavalry with BLagg's army,
| they wear swords, but seem to have little
idea OF using fhem-they banker after
their carbines and revolvers. They con
stantly ride with their swords between
their left leg and the saddle, which has a
very funny appearance; but their horses
are generally good, and they ride well.
