The correspondence of Gen. Robt. E. Lee. Chancellorsville to Gettysburg—March to August, 1863. The following abstracts from the War Records, published by the United States Government, exhibit most strikingly, not only the profound ability of General Robert E. Lee as a military chieftain, but also the moral grandeur of his character. The general belief has been, that General Lee had the finest army on the Gettysburg campaign that he ever commanded, and that the army as well as the commander was full of confidence and strength. This correspondence shows that the army was debilitated from being insufficiently fed; the horses were weakened from the same cause, and that at every point the commanding general was thwarted, not being permitted to assemble his own command for the great effort. Also that his veteran brigades, Cooke's, Jenkins' and Corse's, were kept inactive against his protest, and that his advice was continually unheeded. The crowning difficulty was the weakn

So that General Meade had full knowledge that he had nothing to fear in the direction of Washington.
