Kilpatrick entered the town on Sunday morning: Hdq'rs Army Northern Virginia, July 11th, 1863. General Orders, No. 16.--After the long Gen. R. E. Lee to his army; issued from Hagerstown on Saturday, was found, says the Baltimore American, when Gen. Kilpatrick entered the town on Sunday morning: Hdq'rs Army Northern Virginia, July 11th, 1863. General Orders, No. 16.--After the long and trying marches, endured with the fortitude that has ever characterized the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia, you have penetrated to the country of our enemies, and recalled to the defences of their own soil those who were engaged in the invasion of ours. You have fought a fierce and sanguinary battle, which, if not aance of that heavenly Power which has so signally blessed our former efforts, let us go forth in confidence to secure the peace and safety of our country. Soldiers, your old enemy is before you. Win from him honor worthy of your right cause, worthy of your comrades dead on so many illustrious fields. R. E. Lee, Gen'l Com'g.

McClellan, and Fitz John Porter, and groans for the President, the Provost Marshal, and other officials. Gen. Lee's Army across the Potomac. The following is a dispatch from General Meade: Headq'rs Army of the Potomac,July 13--3 P. M. H. W. Halleck, General in Chief: My cavalry now occupy Falling Waters, having overtaken, and captured a br the Potomac, is confirmed by the official bulletin of Gen. Meade. The only loss attending the movement was of a brigade of infantry, fifteen hundred strong, two guns, two caissons, two battle flags, and a number of small arms. Everything else Gen. Lee has succeeded in placing beyond the Potomac, and he thus not merely carries off the spoils of his Pennsylvania invasion, but the laurels of the campaign, subsequent to his defeat at Gettysburg, belong also to him. We do not suppose that Ge

Gen. Lee's Retrograde movement. Opinions are various with regard to the motives which induced Gen. Lee to withdraw his army to the Virginia side of the Potomac. All seem, however, to agree thatGen. Lee to withdraw his army to the Virginia side of the Potomac. All seem, however, to agree that the movement was proper, under the circumstances, whatever they might be, being guided in their opinions entirely by the profound confidence which they repose in the Commander's professional skill, a the troops, and has not therefore the slightest bearing upon the wisdom of the measure. Had General Lee destroyed the army of Meade, as there was every reason to hope we should then have seen how fhe abject terror with which the Yankees were struck when they found their country invaded. Had Gen. Lee destroyed the army of Meade — and this was what he aimed and expected to do — he would have helthe conception, unless the means should be ridiculously small.

From Gen. Lee's Army — the enemy also across the Potomac-fight near Charlestown. From a gentleman who came down on the Central train last night we gather the following particulars of affairs in the lower Valley: On Monday evening it was ascertained that the enemy were crossing the Potomac in heavy force, at a number of different fords between Williamsport, where the right of our army rested, and Edwards's Ferry, near Leesburg. During the afternoon of Monday, a portion of their forces iles above Harper's Ferry, and another column at Point of Rocks, 9 miles below. It is also reported that a considerable force was thrown across the river at Edwards's Ferry. On learning that the enemy were thus attempting to gain his rear, Gen. Lee at once commenced the passage of the river at Williamsport and Falling Waters, and throughout the entire night of Monday, his army was engaged in crossing the Potomac, still somewhat swollen by the recent rains. Early the next morning the last
