Gen. Lee meddling again.
President Davis will have to put a stop to Gen. Lee's meddling.
If he cannot succeed in doing so, let him insist upon his confining it to his own army.
He has no right to go beyond his own lines, and get all Yankeedoodledom together by the ears.
Poor Doodle has troubles enough of his own, without having them aggravated by a Confederate General.
It may be asked what we are driving at. Why, at this; Last week a gentleman informed us that he had received a letter from a friend inside of the Yankee lines.
In which it was stated that Stanton had called Halleck about the pontoons that were to have been sent down to Fredericksburg, and were not sent in than.

As these were but rebel reports, we should not have noticed them but for their confirmation by one of the Baltimore papers.
All accounts agree

"Punch" on the war.
--Through the kindness of some unknown friend we are in possession of a copy of the London Punch, which gives its accustomed attention to American affairs.
It has a very excellent cut representing Jeff. Davis and Lincoln at a game of cards, on a barrel of gunpowder.
Old Abe, with furious aspect and hair erect like the quills of the fretful porcupine, has his last card — the black ace — raised on high, whilst Jeff, with elbow on the board and the corner of his card resting on his nose, gives his antagonist a most wicked leer from under the front-piece of his cap, appearing to say. Play on, old fellow: the last card can't help you out of the scrape.
Another cut represents Old Abe's perplexity with the negro.
He is seated in a room of the White House, with his hands resting on his knees, and a most woe-begone expression on his face, whilst a big buck negro, in his shirt sleeves and barefoot, with arms folded, head thrown back, and one foot on the table, in c

Tom is a short man about five feet three or four inches high; pale yellow color; dark sandy, hair, rather bushy; light moustache and whiskers; square made; a little bow legged, and has a determined vicious countenance.
He had on when he left a white slouched last and light pantaloons.
He sometimes wore a blue shirt, with along neck-handkerchief and a soldier's blue overcoat, with cape.
He had with him a bundle containing two blankets, a new black sack coat and other clothing.
I will give the above reward of fined for his delivery to me at my stables, or secured in any jail in Richmond, that I may get him again.

This was responded to by M. Winans, Esq., of Baltimore, Md.
Hon. W. McDonald. M. P., paid a glowing tribute to Stonewall Jackson.
He compared him to the late Gen. Haribute to Stonewall Jackson.
He compared him to the late Gen. Havelock, one of England's greatest Generals.
Gen. Wilson said: "With leaders like Davis, Lee, Beauregard, Johnston, and Jackson, the South must and will succeed; and it is the duty of our Government to recognize the South.
They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.
We insist on their recognition.
