The Daily Dispatch: August 19, 1863., [Electronic resource], The army. (search)
The army. --The news received yesterday from the army pretty clearly shows that Gen. Meade does not design any further advance at present. The Federal forces that have occupied the south side of the Rappahannock for the past two weeks have been withdrawn, and report states that the whole army is taking the back track in the direction of Washington. What is designed by this movement is wholly matter of conjecture, and many believe that it is their intention to retire to some secure point to await reinforcements to be furnished by the draft now in progress at the North. The result of this movement maybe the eventual evacuation of the larger portion of Virginia cast of the Blue Ridge. That Meade does not consider himself able with his present force to meet the army of Gen. Lee, is evident by the tardiness he has evinced in following up the advantages claimed from the battle of Gettysburg.

The President of the Confederate States has, in the name of the people, appointed the 21st day of August as a day of fGen.

A strict observance of the day is enjoined upon the officers and soldiers of this army. All military duties, except such as are absolutely necessary, will be suspended. The commanding officers of brigades and regiments are requested to cause Divine services, suitable to the occasion, to be peany sins, and beseech Him to give us a higher courage, a purer patriotism and more determined will; that He will convert the hearts of our enemies; that He will hasten the time when war, with its sorrows and sufferings, shall cease, and that He will give us a name and place among the nations of the earth. R. E. Lee, General.

's near Rappahannock Station. Their cavalry is disposed along the front and on their flanks, watching and waiting, and glad enough, I have no doubt, to be permitted to rest and recruit after the tremendous exertions which they were compelled by Gen. Lee to make in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The small village of Culpeper is rather deserted in appearance, and few topics of interest are on the tapis. The last "sensation news" is the rumored supersede of Gen. Stuart by General Hood, and this rnstantly receiving petitions from other commands, which are anxious to be with him, and applications for transfers from the infantry are made all the time. Add to this that he is known to enjoy the high, I might say the unlimited, confidence of Gen. Lee, who I know to be wholly ignorant of this affair, and the singular nature of the report will be better understood. I do not myself believe a word of it. If anything of interest occurs in this quarter I will send you some items. At present
