Gen. Lee's proclamation. In our columns to-day will be found the dignified and noble proclamation of Gen. Lee to the people of Maryland. What a contrast to the vaporing and despotic addresses of the Yankee commanders! It places before Maryland a free choice of her destiny, leaving her at entire liberty, without menace or cGen. Lee to the people of Maryland. What a contrast to the vaporing and despotic addresses of the Yankee commanders! It places before Maryland a free choice of her destiny, leaving her at entire liberty, without menace or compulsion, to unite her fortunes with either the Northern or the Southern Union. In its spirit, its sentiments and language, it is worthy of the cause of Southern independence, of the great leader of the Southern armies, and of the magnanimous and heroic people whom he represents.

y; and if so, their descriptions. I replied at once that they were probably spies, and directed him to order a court, and if they proved to be spies to execute them immediately, which was done; and they were tried, condemned to be hung, and the sentence was carried into execution before 10 o'clock this morning. On being discovered they confessed they were officers in the rebel army, one a colonel, named Lawrence W. Orton, formerly W. Orton Williams.

Gen. Lee in Virginia. The fears of those who believed that Gen. Lee was in a perilous situation on the other side of the Potomac, will, we hope, be agreeably relieved by the intelligence that he is back again with his army perfectly sound and in good condition. What his motives were, it were a waste of time to guess. We must be satisfied with knowing that they were the motives of a great General, and, therefore, necessarily correct. We, and we believe most of his countrymen, place entire confidence in his skill and judgment.

Gen. Lee's army — the Potomac Re-Crossed. Yesterday, during the day, we had a number of rumors in circulation with reference to the army of Gen. Lee. One was that the enemy had succeeded in getting in our rear, and had occupied the town of WincGen. Lee. One was that the enemy had succeeded in getting in our rear, and had occupied the town of Winchester. The report, however, proved to be unfounded. Late in the day an official dispatch was received by the President from Gen. Lee, conveying the information that our army had recrossed the Potomac at Williamsport. The particulars of the crGen. Lee, conveying the information that our army had recrossed the Potomac at Williamsport. The particulars of the crossing we were not able to obtain, if, indeed, any were given in the dispatch. The news that our army has again returned to Virginia will doubtless create a damper upon the feelings of the enthusiastic, who saw in the invasion of Pennsylvania reason to believe that there was nothing to prevent Gen. Lee's successful march to Philadelphia; but among the reflecting there will be a sense of relief experienced that our gallant army has succeeded in recrossing the river in safety. The 52d Va.suf

more moderate, refuse to follow their example. There is already a good deal of intriguing, we are sorry to say as to who is to preside at the Convention. Robert Lee, of Virginia, and Joseph Hooker, of California, are both talked of, and both are manœavring with all their might in aid of their respective claims. Ewell has come on already to canvass for Lee, and his appearance has led to a good deal of wire pulling; but we doubt if anything decisive will take place before the appearance of Wood and Judge McCunn upon the scene. We hardly think it likely that the Constitution will open before these two great apostles of peace are ready to take part in it; though it these days it is dangerous to count upon either the modesty or scrupulousness of such notorious intriguers as both Hooker and Lee. The New Yankee currency. The designs for the new "national" currency or the Yankee Government are out. It is painful to see that in the vignettes the irrepressible nigger is entire

Arrests. --The following arrests have been made and committed to the watch-houses since Saturday morning: James, a negro fellow belonging to R. Graves, was arrested charged with breaking into William cullingworth's stall, in the First Market. Robert Lee, white, charged with being drunk and beating Henry, slave of Frederick Riley, was arrested yesterday morning. A white man, named Frederick Miller, was arrested yesterday, charged with robbing Thomas Patterson, on Monday night last, of a gold watch, a pair of boots, a hat, and $150 in money. Patterson was in a beastly state of intoxication, which caused him to keel over by the side of a house near Mayo's Bridge and fall asleep, where he was found by Miller, who divested his person of the articles above enumerated. His arrest was caused by the watch belonging to Patterson being found in the possession of William Brown, who alleges that he bought it from Miller for $900. A batch of negroes, some fifteen in numbe
