than when we recrossed the Potomac. There is yet room and heed for many more to meet the next onset of overwhelming avalanche of men which it is believed the enemy are collecting for our destruction. Gen. Lee, with his usual military acumen, has doubtless surveyed the whole field; but whether his plans are aggressive or defensive will depend, it is presumed, altogether on the condition and movements of the enemy. A meeting of chaplains of the 21 and 3d corps is to be held to-day at Orange C. H. Its object has not transpired, but it is probably to adopt measures to promote concert of action and the general efficiency of that useful body of men. That their labors have been productive of much good is evinced in the religious tone of feeling prevalent in the army, and the nightly assembling in each camp of groups of soldiers whose songs of praise ascend to Heaven with the smoke of the camp fires, and whose untutored invocations call down the blessings of God on the absent ones at ho

Some of these scenes that I have witnessed are worthy of the pencil of the most gifted artist. A Court of Inquiry has been convened at Brandy Station, consisting of Gen. Mahone, Col. C. A. Battle, and others, to investigate the case of the capture of a portion of the wagon train of Ewell's corps while returning from Pennsylvania. The train was convoyed by a regiment of cavalry, and it is alleged the inferior force of Yankees that attacked the train might and should have been captured, instead of being captors. I am informed by a North Carolina officer that meetings have been recently held in several regiments in this army from that State, with reference to the course of the Raleigh (N. C.)

Our army Correspondence. Army Northern Va., Aug., 11, 1863. I write again this morning, but without the transpiring of anything denoting a material change in "the situation." The main body of the enemy retains its position along the line of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, and there have been no movements that decidedly indicate a disposition or intention on the part of Gen. Meade to advance on the army of Gen. Lee, although a small body of infantry, estimated by some refugees at a corps, by others at only a division, crossed a day or two since to the south side of the river at Rappahannock Ford. Their reserve, or main force, of cavalry are reported to be concentrated around Kelly's Ford. A body of cavalry advanced in the direction and within one and a half miles of Culpeper C. H., but soon fell back on the appearance of a confronting arty of ours. The cavalry of both armies remain in line of battle from day to-day, with nothing to interrupt the monotony save an occasio

to his plans — if he has yet adopted any. Some are of opinion that he will attempt what both his predecessors failed to accomplish at Fredericksburg; while others think he will cooperate in the "on to Richmond" move via the Peninsula, so plausibly urged in some quarters by both Yankee and Confederate. There are not a few, also, who believe there are reasonable probabilities of a collision of the two armies in this immediate section. It so, we may have to record another bloody fight at Cedar Mountain, already classic by the memorable rout, the beginning of the series of disasters to the splendidly equipped army of the infamous Pope. Meade, thus far, has made no encroachments on our position. His delay in following up what nobody but his own miserable people claim as a victory at Gettysburg, can be accounted for only on one of the two suppositions of bad Generalship or want of strength sufficient, and the necessity of waiting for reinforcements, or the slow and uncertain results of

There are no better troops in this army, I venture to say, than the brigades from North Carolina with which I am acquainted. Such was the gallantry and lofty bearing of Ramseur, for instance, at Gettysburg, under the most terrific fire, as to elicit the admiration of all who beheld him.
