Both are superior men and officers, and, as some regard it a sine qua non, both were educated at West Point. Col.

Our army correspondence. Army Northern Virginia, August 28, 1863. Since my last, no demonstration has been made by the enemy's cavalry, save the crossing at Ellis's Ford of about four hundred, who came with their side arms only. The object of the visit, it appears, was to secure a number of cattle belonging to a citizen, who, it is alleged, had removed from his place of residence on this side of the river, with all his goods and chattels, to within the Yankee lines. The expedition ended in a failure, and the capture of several prisoners by us. The gallant Mosby is understood to be again in the saddle, and his success cannot be doubted. Beyond this, the most perfect stagnation continues to prevail on both sides. In our own camps, however, drills, inspections, and reviews, are of daily and weekly occurrence, which furnish a pleasant relief from the monotony of camp life. During the present week Gen. A. P. Hill has reviewed the veterans of Anderson's, Heth's, and

Wright has been acquitted of the charges preferred against him, which purported to have originated out of the order reducing the transportation of the army. Without recapitulating the facts, I would state that the charges are trivial and were not sustained by the evidence. The whole case was "a tempest in a teapot."

On the authority of an Assistant Inspector-General of Gen. Lee's Staff, whose weekly rounds of the army afford that scrutinizing officer ample opportunities for knowing, the whole army was never at any period of the war in better condition or fighting trim than at the present juncture. Well shod, clothed, ortion. In some brigades there are regular issues of rations of green corn, and good facilities for obtaining other vegetables of the season, which the surrounding country affords in abundance. The beneficial effects of the late order from Gen. Lee, granting furloughs to two of every hundred men and brief leaves of absence to officers, are visible in the spirit of contentment that prevails and the less frequent occurrence of desertions, from which the best army ever organized, under any ci

they could not be otherwise. The camps are eligibly situated and regularly policed, and particular attention given to measures for the preservation of health. As an illustration of the present healthful condition of the army, only about ten of Ewell's corps are on an average daily sent to the hospitals, whereas formerly there were five or ten times as many, perhaps, from each corps.
