of Maryland and Pen nay Irania by Geo. Lee's army;
said tfeat It had whipped the enemy off their own
soil and obtained va«t supplies for our men, and
was newrwWy to again meet the enemyon another
field. Whatever migftt be the movements aad ob-
jects of Gen. Lee,.he had entire confidence ia his
ability to accomplish What he undertook; for his
ability and intellect ie was head and shoulders
above any man ia the Confederate army. He com-
mended Gen. Lee for keeping his own secrete, and
told the people not to be disooaraged becauso they
did not hear from Lee over his own signature. He
would come out all right in the end.
Mr. Stephens next spoke of the surrender of

also know that, according to last reporta, the
Government had not a hundred bales to tbeir

Another subject, which ia also very freely dis-

for the benefit of the poM ceidier for whom supplies
could not be purchased on the Bio Grande except
for specie. This tax was In direct eontravention
of law, as shown by the order from the Secretary

and whea.it> was declared illegal, many expected
to have this specie tax refunded to them, but, to
far to we have been able to learn, no satlsfeetidn
