Of conrse they are being daily shifted as circumstences require. A cavalry reconndissance ‘on the day hefore yesterdey, under Gen.Stah!, demonstrated that a considerabie force of rebel cavalry were in the immediate vicinity of Washington; while Col. Duffie’s cavalry, on the same day, de- ¥ bu Nuitely ascertained ihat Lee holds Therough- , Other informs. | fare Gap with a similar force, tion leads tothe corcinsion that Lee is al_o holding the gaps ot the Rive Ridge in our frowt So far we have not been able to learn that it s known that Lee bus any consi gantry force, if any whatever, in the vailey between the bine Ridge end the Bull Rua mountains. It is therefore rot impossible that he is werely keeping up a show of ovcnpying that valley, with strong bodies of cavairy, while the main body of his army is moving in some other direction than towerds Washing- ton; though, on the other hand, thereis no uctual security that he is not bringing up almost the whole of his urmy towards this eity, as indicated by his occnpaiion cf the Imcuntain passes named aboye, and the line of communicating with his base via Warrenton. We take it for granted that General Hooker and the authorities here rare of hismove- ments, as their means of kuowing are so much hetter than these of any others. Our cotempo- raries of the press are evidently in amurky tog on this new most important point. Thus, the Associated Press’s Washington dispatch pub- lished this morning locates E *0n’s) grand division in the vicinity of Dum- fries, while the Baltimore Su, states thal is official information in Baltimore locating it yesterdsy about Sharpsburg, Md., points por_ apes a hundred miles apart by marching reads Twenty-.our Pours should suffice to make it generally known to the public, it seems .to us, gust where Lee's main srmy is maneuverin;, and what bis current coject really is. It is almost incredible that he aims to ceme under the fire ot the fortifications surrounding Washington, because he must know well how | email his chances would be of sneceas th He is too astute a commander to fail to know Weill that to attack Hooker under the guns ot those defences wil! be toattack him in positions immeasurably stronger than any he couid heve taken in the vicinity of the Rappaiau- mock. Or, inother words, thnt ina battle un der them, Hooker will surely be—haying no | rear or lines ef communications to guar &c., and with the aid of troops pbelv to this department not required in the fortif nS—At least fifty thousand available “mn ger than he could haye been on tie Rap- ; while the suus of the fortitications thenisel ves will be worth fitty ic men on the fieid, if Lee y re Taage. it seems equally improbat: Venture a feriony mover With our army of the Potomac intact in his rear, Pet Contra.

The recent abandonment of Winchester by this efficer, with the circumstances attending that act, are bringing forth comments from the i press anything but complimentary to him.

We take it as certain, however, that his movement will be promptly and thoroughly investigated H by the proper authorities, who will doubtless deal with him as the facts of the case thus | developed shall make necessary for the pub- lic interest.
