Dan Sickles on Marylanders in the Confederate service. --A dispatch from Washington says: A military commission, of which General Dan Sickles was President, tried James R. Oliver, a citizen of Maryland, who was taken prisoner while in arms in the ranks and uniform of the rebel army at Rappahannock ford. He plead not guilty to the charge, (treason,) but acknowledged the specifications of his arrest. The Court rendered a decision of guilty of treason, and sentenced him to be hanged. General Hooker forwarded the sentence of the Court to Washington, with the endorsement "strongly approved;" but the President, seeing the terrible consequences involved in such a precedent, disapproved the sentence of the Court, adding that the accused was a prisoner of war, and entitled to be treated as such, and to be exchanged.

It is thus reduced to a question of speed and numbers between the opposing forces, complicated with the strength of the fortress and Grant's tactics in the approaching great battle. The rebels cannot afford to lose Vicksburg; but if they succeed there, by concentrating the victorious army at Chattancoga it will be an easy matter to clear out Tennessee. Johnston was only prevented from dealing Rosecrans a heavy blow by Grant's landing at Port Gibson and attacking Vicksburg in the rear. Lee, with heavy reinforcements, is about to move into Pennsylvania, and Stuart, with 15,000 cavalry, is behind the Rappahannock. What is their destination? But Hooker, whose army is twice as large as General Lee's, must first be whipped. One cool, sagacious head at Richmond, seems to direct all the movements on the Southern chess board of the war. What kind of a head, and what head, makes the counte
