OUR MILITARY BUDGET. | Sis See THE SITUATION. Up to this morning, we {eel sure, no farther general fighting had taken place between our | army ard that of the rebels under Lee, Inthe | meanwhile, our cavalry have been making al- most hourly more captures of rebel prisoners, wagons, &c., until the aggregate number of the former in our hands is about 11,000, (including wounded prisoners.) This we know tobe true. ‘The longer the river remains up the more we will take,even though there may not be an- other general engagement north of the Potomac. Lee certainly has great advantages for facili- tating the escape of the remnant of his army in the nature of the country around him; abound- ing almost everywhere with narrow, rocky and precipitous passes ar} gorges quickly to be fortified against pursu ng forces. It is to be presumed that Gen. Meade, while striving to get at the r_bel army in some posi- tion which will not in itself almost ensure vic- ory to the latter, is tooshrewd asoldier to seek a general engagement where he cannot reason- ably hope to accomplish something of import- unce sufficient to justity a considerable sacrifice of life on his part. F If the rebel army shall manage to get over the river without being forced to another grand engagement, which is by no means impossible, ‘we do not see that their condition will be much improved, a8 our means of crossing after them are ample for immediate seryice; and with | both armies again south of the Potomac, they can be brought to fight upon ground notof their own choosing, unl-ss electing to leave their communication with Richmond utterly de- | stroyed; which alternative must speedily prove fatal to them, Our whole loss, since the com- mencement of the fighting on Wednesday ot last week, we are giad to learn, on most reliable authority, does not turn ont to be over ten or | twelye thousand in killed, wounded and miss- ing; the number of the “missing” being bat insignificant. At General Meade’s headquar- | ters the enemy’s total loss, up to this time, is set | down at 25,000,4with a fair prospect that if Lee . should succeed in reerossing the river, he wil! find himself minus from five to ten thousand more. We buse this conclusion upon the fact that | rebel stragglers and Ceserters are falling into | our hands by droves, on all sides of Lee’s line of retreat. CASUALTIES TO GENERAL OFFICERS. Since the war commenced, one hundred (ten- erals—Major and Brigadier—belonging to the Union army haye been wounded, killed, or died in the service. Of these,. thirty-seven have been lost to the service by death, and the | balance have been wounded. Pennsylvania | has been the greatest sufferer by death, having | Jost seven, viz: Rero, Bohlen, Reynolds and Jackson, killed in battle ; Patterson, who killed | himSelf while laboring under a temporary | aberation of mind; and Smith and Keim, who died of disease contracted in the service. | New Jersey has lost three Generals, all of | whom were killed in battle, viz: Kearney, | Bayard and Taylor. | New York, in proportion to the number of | Generals in the service, has lost fewest. | | New England loses Lyon, Berry and Lander Amongst her illustrious dead. GENERAL SICKLES. Gen. Sickles, our readers will be glad to | know, is doing well. He suffers but little trom | his leg, and the wound is nearly halt healed over. He went into the battle at Gettysburg | almost directly from a sie’ hed. and nothing | but the excitement of the battle-field kept him up, and therefore his nervous system is neces- sarily much shocked. His surgeon thinks that if no untoward accident should occur, the Gen- eral will be on his crutches in a few days. General S. has been called upon by his many fiends ; but those who would really haye hiin | recover speedily would serve him best by re- straining their desire to pay their respects to | him personally, as the presence of visitors is productive of no very good effect upon hi: nervous system NAVAL ORDE | Midshipman Edward N. Kellogg detached from the Sonoma, and ordered to examination. Ensign Walter Abbot ordered to final exam- ination. | Third Assistant Engineer Wm. H. Harris de- tached from the Sagamore, and waiting orders. | Third Assistant Engineer John K.Stevenson ordered to the Dacotah. Third Assistant Engineers Henry H. Kim- | ball, Dewitt C. Davis, John J. Ryan, and Chas- R. Mosher, ordered to duty in the South At- lantic Blockading Squadron. | TROPHIES OF THE VICTORY. | Under the orders cf Major General Meade, Colonel Schriver, Inspector General of the Army of the Potomac, arrived in the city last night, having in charge, for delivery to the Adjutant General, wophies taken from the rebels at the recent battles of Gettysburg, | among which are the rebel General Barks- | dale’s sword and thirty-one battle-flags and standards, being a portion only of the large number captui PAROLED. Major S. Herbert Lancey, aid to Gen. Ewen, | ‘who was reported captured by Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry, near Gettysburg, on Friday last, has been paroled, and is now in this city.

He was found dead in his at five e'clock by Father Foley, who, surprised at his absence from early mass, went to ascertain the | cause. His hands were crossed upon his breast, and his countenance evinced a serene Christian composure. Archbishop Kenrick was born in | Ireland in the year 1797, consecrated Bishop of | Arath and Coadjutor tothe Bishop of Phila- deiphia, June 6, 1930; Bishop of Philadelphia in 12, and transferred to the See of Baitimore August 19, 1551. By a decree of Pope Pius IX be was promoted to the superior among the Romish bishops ofthe United States. His death is mourned by the entire Christian community of Baltimore. wgv-The Baltimore military authorities make | good use of parties convicted of violations of military orders, by compelling them to work upon the fortifications. This has been done in several instances, and has a good effect.

WINCHESTER, July 3. via Staunton, 4th.— Passengers who have arrived here from Mar- tunsburg were told there that Gen. Stuart had ; torn up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the Relay House. Itis reported that Lee’s army is marching towards Baltimore. : The enemy’s tents haye disappeared from Maryland Heights. From Tennessee. ATLANTA, July 3,—It is reported that Rose- crans is falling back, and that Bragg is reoc- cupying Tullahoma with heavy force. There has been no raid on the railroad in East Tennessee. [SECOND DISPATOU.] ATLANTA, July 4.—It is considered certain that Morgan has played hayoc with Rose- | erans’ rear, An important movement is taking place in Gen. Bragg’s army, butit is not pra- dent to mention particulars. (THIRD DIBSPATCH.] ATLANTA, July 4.—Bragg’s headquarters are at Bridgeport. The Tennessee river will be the future line of defense. It is supposed that Huntsville and the Memphis and Charles. ton Railroad will be abandoned. From Vicksburg. Botton’s Derort, July 4, via Jackson; 4th.— Our cavalry were skirmishing all day yester- day near Edward’s Depot with Osterhaus’ troops. Our loss is two killed; and we captured sixteen prisoners, The enemy are firing a national salute this morning. Negroes are constantly returning to their masters, from Grant's army. They report that Yankees expected to make another assault to- day. The enemy were engaged yesterday in throwing pontoons over the Big’ Black at Baldwin’s Ferry. The Dispatch has the following personal:— “Vice-President Stephens, it is said, has gone Ao Fortress Monroe by the flag-of-truce boat. One story is that his business is to see about the exchange of prisoners, and another that it stoinform the Federai (government that if private property is not respected in the Con- federate States, and the rules of civilized war- fare etrictly complied with, our forces in the North will receive instructions to retaliate in kind.” President Dayis, ill lately, is now convales- cent. The Southwest. The Dispatch says:—The capture of Brashear ci y by Gen. Taylor, is one of the most impor- tant blows that has been etruck in tne South- west since the war commenced. It is but ten miles above the city of New Orleans, and if it be held as it can be it will be impossible to feed the city by means of the Mississippi. Every- where in Lousiana our forces seem tobe clean- ing the scoundrels out. We hope to see the Confederate flag waving over New Orleans before the summer is Over. The Dispatch, in an editorial, presumes that only @ portion of the rebel army was engaged in the battle at Gettysburg, as the main bedy is supposed not to have been in that immediate neighborhood. It claims that, be the case as it may, they have gained a great victory. it thinks the Philadelphia Jnquirer’s account will admit of such a conclusion, as it says the battle was indecisive, which the Dispatch deems equivalept to saying that the Federals were beaten. The Dispatch concludes as follows: “The fact seems to be that a division of the army has kept the whole Yankee force at bay for two days, and that Gen. Lee is rapidly concentrating in the neighborhood of Gettys- burg. Ina few days we expect to hear that Meade’s army has been defeated and probably annihilated. {From Riehmond Dispatch, July 6th.) «The Yankees continue their movement to Richmond. They did not, however, attack the South Anna Bridge, on the R. F. & Poto- tomac railroad, on Friday night, as was re- ported. They came up through King Wil- liam county, on the other side of the Pamunky, as far as Littlepage, which is'3 miles from the bridge above named, but did not cross the river.” * * * * * The force at the White House, ora great part ofit has gone to Barhamsville, about 24 miles from New Kent C.H. This is a movement to the rear. On Saturday night they sent for- warda ferceand drove in our pickets at the cross roads. Barhamsvile is about 2S miles from Richmond on the stage road.” The Dispatch says it is difficult to ascertain anything reliable as to Federal operations in the vicinity of Hanover, but saysit knows they are in heayy force in King William and Han- over counties, and are destroying the crops in tbat vicinity, and running off negroes. In 8 late account,.and from a gentleman who left Richmond as an independent scout on Saturday afternoon, the Dispatch learns that heayy firing was heard at South Anna Bridge all night Saturday, and until two o’clock Sun- day morning. Littlepage Bridge was also burned by our forces. On Saturday the Federal forces destroyed the station and Other houses at Ashland with- out resistance, and the Dispatch says “the whole demonstration ot the enemy is now be- ginning to develop itself as a reckless raid to destroy what they can and inflict all the mis- chief possible on our lines of communica- tien.” The Dispatch concludes its article by saying that the Federal force “attacked South Anna Bridge at 8 o’clock on Saturday night, killing 2 of our men, wounding several, and taking it prisoners. They were repulsed, but with rein- forcements renewed the attack at 1 o’clock yes- terday morning, and were again repulsed and driven off, but with what loss is not known.” «*¢Exit Hooker,”’ Under this head the Richmond Dispatch en- deavors to get up @ bitof fun over the “six mn graves made side by side” of Scott, Mc- Dowell, McClellan, Pope, Burnside and Hook- er, and goes on to speak of Lee as the voracious Virginian who has already swallowed down several Federal armies, and whose appetite is not yet satisfied. Meade is warned to beware, for before he gets his army organized the yo. racious monster (Lee) will swallow it also, and then move on to Washington and take it in at one gulp. . ‘The Dispatch advises Meade to tread lightly over the aforesaid six green graves, andtohave ever in mind the verse of the hymn, «Hark from the Toombs a dolefulsound.” Probably the Dispatch does not feel so fanny about this tims SvusPenpgD.—The banking house of hers ey & Huyck, Seventh: street, has closed doors to-day, and. rumor assigns the, suspension to the fall im gold. - We hear that.at one time yeo~ terday gold fell to 130in New York; and spec- ulators here to-day in the precious metal have refused to givemore than 1%.

LOCAL NEWS. ———_—__ Wasuinaron Aue Groncetown RAILROAD Comrany.—The pewly-elected Board of Di- “rectors of this‘company met last night, and Mr. George S. Gideon was elected president of the company for the ensuing year, Mr. H. D- Cooke declining. Mr. Oooke is about to enter upon his duties as presidest of the National Bank about to be started here under the new law, and finds it impossible to continue to perform the respon- sible duties of the presidency of the road, but will remain in the management, the stock- holders will be glad to learn. The difficult task of supplying his place is fully met by the appointment of Mr. Gideon: who has been all his lifelong identified with the business mterests of the city, and has the fullest confidence of the community. The company declares a dividend of three per cent. for the last quarier. The report of the president of thé company, Mr. H. D. Cooke, submitted yesterday to the stockholders, gives a detailed account ef the operations of the road during the past year, and of its present financial condition. The charter allowed the company but a short time comparatively, in which to complete the road; requiring all the branches to be finished with- ‘six months from the approval of the law. The company was formally organized on the 10th of June. 1962, and on the 29th of: July cars were running regalarly over Pennsyivania avenue from the Uapitol to the State Depart- ment, connecting with omnibuses at the last named point for Georgetown. On the 12th of August the road was opened to the “Circle,” and on the isth of the same month cars com- menced to run regularly on the entire main route, from the Capitol to Georgetown. From this date the traveling facilities on the Avenue were trebled. From the Oapitel to the Navy Yard the road was also completed nearly a month in advance of the time allowed by law, the cars running regularly on that ronteon the 2d day of Octo- ber. The Seventh and Fourteenth street roads were also pushed rapidly to completion, both roads being finished on the 12th day of Novem- ber, and the rontes being equipped and in op- eration on November 15th. Thus all the roads were completed, equipped, and in actual oper- ation within the period prescribed by the char- ter, while the main routes were much in ad- vance of the time allowed. The work, more- over, was well done, the road being built in a solid, substantial manner, and the equipment lrst class in eyery particular. The prompt- ness with which the road was completed and put in operation is the more gratifying in view of the peculiar circumstances under which the work was undertaken. Owing to the unset- tled condition of the country, the scarcity ot labor especially ut Washington and the preoc- cupation by governmentsupplies, &c., the lines of Wansportation between Washihgion and the northern cities, from which thé iron and other materials for the road were procured; constant delay ana interruptions were experienced. Yet, despite these untoward circumstances, the work steadily progressed to completion be- fore the time allowed by law had elapsed. The Board of Directors, being unable to agree with Mr. Vanderwerken for the purchase of bis real estate, leased it for a year, and bought all his omnibus property, ificluding horses. tools and fixtures. During the year a large amount of property sufficient for the present and future wants of the company was pur- chased in Washington, as tollows: New Jersey avenue property, 130 fect on New Jersey avenue, 439 ft. B street, 21P ft. First street, cost $56,000. Square on. Seventh street and Boundary street—143 feeton Seventh street and 298 on Boundary street—#1,250. Lot on T street, 96 feet by 126, £970. On the Sth of October the President of the Compeny, by authority of the Board, tendered twenty qmnibuses to the Government for hos- pital use, (valne, $9,000,) which were gratefully acceptcd by the Government. Ata meeting of the stockholders held March ith, it was resolved to callin the balance of the stock, which was done, and the bonds rep- resenting the same were, in accordance with a vote of the stockholders, accepted by the di- rectors in full payment of the back instalments, The operations of the road during the past year are shown in the following summary: ‘Total receipts from passengers + $249,160 08 Working expenses. 175,396 29 Government taxes Interest, &c...

Whole number of paying passengers carried in the year 4,993,200; average number ot pas- sengers per day, exclusive of free tickets, 15,920; number of transfer tickets daily issued 5,750; yearly do. 1,799,760. Number of horses on hand 490; do. cars 86; cars to Georgetown and Navy Yard 28; do. to Baltimore Depot 21; do, Seventh street 16; do. Fourteenth street 5. From the foregoing, it appears that consid- erable over one third of all the passengers car- ried are furnished with passage over two lines of connecting roads for one fare. Thisis done in no other city in the Union, and the extent to which this privilege is used here and the cur- tailment of the revenues of the road as com- pared with the revenues derived by roads in other cities for the same service, is shown by the figures above given, from which it appears that over one third of all the passengers car- Tied, haye two rides for one fare, thus practi- cally reducing their tare over each of the con- necting roads to two-and-a-half cents. The low rates upon this road is further illus- trated by. comparison with the roads of other cities, the average length of which is3 miles. ‘The total length of track on this read is 18% miles, miles including side tracks and turnouts. From Georgetown to nary Nerd. 5 miles; Georgetown to Capitol or Depot, 3 miles; Seventh street Boundary to River, 2%; Fourteenth street and New York avenue, 1% miles. ‘The comparative cost of running roads here over roads in other cities, is set ane in meee ortin the higher pay to employees, r Prioe for horse feed, &c.; showing Shae in no city of the Union are passenger railroad com- panies subjected to so heavy expenditures in operating their roads, #nd in no other city are the rates of fare really so low as here. From this data it is ascertained that the cost et carrying eaoh passenger during the past year has been 33; cents, and to this must be added de- preciation in road and stock. The figures show how much of public convenience and comfort can be secured by well directed enterprise at 8 trifling cost to the recipients of these advan- tages, a cost barely a pecnon above the actual outlay on the partofthe company, and in the aggregate saving annually to the community at large twenty times the moderate nett revenue ot the stockholders in the road. Se eee ASSAULT anv BaTTury.—Yesterday, Henry Turner being somewhat intoxicated, tried to et on & street car, the conductor of which 1 Ash, objected. Turner insisted upon it, and Ash pushed him from the platform and he fell in the mud and cut his head slightly by striking upon the pavement. Turner had a warrant issued for the conductor, and bn his return trip he was arrested and taken be- fore Justice Johnson by officer Burch. Turner was at the office, and as Ash entered with the officer, Turner struck him with a billy, knock- ing him senseless for a moment, and inflicting & severe wound on his heed.

This offense seems to be the most prominent with which the guard has to contend, and it seems as though the punishment—tine and confiscation of liquor—was totally inadequate to put an end to the traffic in the poison. ae DisLoyaLty.—Nancy McCay was arrested yesterday and committed to Oentral Guard-house, by Justice Thompson, on a charge of disloyalty and-for, wishing Presi- dent Lincoln and all the colored people in hell.
