Until wu come to tho con cluding portion, which appear* to havo been an addendum Iona guarded than thn balance, there is perhaps nothing in them bearing intrinsic evidence of a desirn to communicate improper information to the enemy.

ItBeems remarkably strange that the writer could have found nothing more serious or important to communi cate, or that lie diould have undertaken the pains or expensoof running tho block ade with letter ms liathy and unworthy of the occasion an these. Their very triv iality i.« concurrent ovidenco of something sinister; and when wo connect, withthia tho assumed signatures, the "mission of a date, and the avoidance of thu names of some of tho parties referred to—indica tions of n desire to conceal the writer - wu havo strong presumptive proof of something wrong. If thn parts of the letter* of which we are now spunking were designed to hoof use to the enemy, they were suggestive merely, not circum stantial or explicit TIiL, too, may have been the result of thu huiiio caution that seems to have been displayed in tho ficti tious signatures, See.

Rebel t 2b/A, In this division our mortality and crs- uulties have been heavier than ever in any past engagement, yet the stern stuff of which heroes are made evidenced itsnlf throughout the terrible and sanguinary engagement at Gettysburg. In fact, the whole anny, to a single man, behaved with the utmost gallantry and courage ; each wa* nerved with the heart of a patriot in punishing tbe enemy on their own soil. Gen. L*!o's congratulstory address to his troops U an admirable paper, and true in letter and spirit- The General is worthy of bis army, and the army is worthy of its General. Our withdrawal from I’ennsylvaniaand Maryland was not caused by anything • Ise thun a want of ammunition and army supplies The country through which the army passed had been previously emptied of provisions, and almost all of io stock ; and nothing but bountiful pas tures of growing grain, orchards of green fruit, and a few vcg< tables were to be found. Had our invasion been prolonged until tho grain crops had ripened and were garnered and the fruit uitable for food, wo would have had no difficulty in staying “in the Union” as long as our in terest* and pleasure demanded. The whole army was withdrawn in good order and without eonfus.on, and speaks well for the masterly mind of General Lee.— It wk* a m liter >f general regret that wc should have boon *o soon recalled, hut a* we had accomplished all we desired for the time being, and to show the foe wh could defeat thou* on their own soil, we withdrew nearer to the base of our sup- plies, after having run the rats out of their hole, iii Washington City and Harris burg, and put tbe whole Yankee nation in arms at tear of our overrunning tho whole delectable NorMi i We have at least made the Yankee* experience tome of the delights derived from tho presenco of the invader on their own soil. Had we so chosen, we could with torch and destruc tion have laid an immense section of their ino-t productive country in utter wa-.te. With the single exception of destroying the Caledonia Iron Works, of that ar li- abolitionlst, Thaddeus Stevens, and the destruction of some important portions of railroad* and their bridges, and depots along our lino of march, no other harm of a Kerioua character wa* inflicted by our tr.M.p», Had the liberty buen granted— i.ikI a. uoinn ussum® we should have been allowed- we could have made all Van keedom weep at our ingress and egress in mid out their territory.
