Lee's Plans
_ ___....
Thera are three theories as to Lee's inten
tions, much canTassed, and each has Its con
fident supporterO. -One is that Lee, as coon
ar
o
as his whole yis well in hand, and an
additional moanl 4 infantry force prepared—
'for 'blob he h about 5,000 fresh horses,
1,000 taken from: Milroy, and 4,000 drawn
out of Pennsylvania—will move across the
Potomac and mate a bold dash for the rail
road communications between Baltimore and
Washington, leaking lID atteiek on either oily,
bet prepared to take any advantage of a so
cession'outbreak in Baltimore, or a severe
panic in Washington. If - he is moced against
by Booker, he will give him battle with en
tire confidence that he is strong enough to
cope with him suettesefully in the Sold. If
he defeats Rooker, of swum he Will be was
ter of the situation, and the fall of Washing.
ton and Baltimore may speedily ensue.
Another theory is thas Res means to hold
all the (laps in the Blue Ridge, from Culpep
per to it:emcee Ferry, so as to prevent any
attack upon his roar, throw the bulk of his
army across the Potomac, and hold in like
manner the lassos in the continuous range of
hills running north into Pennsylvania, and
behind Chia terms. devote Aimed/ to a foraging
aged pillaging campaign in the heart o/ Pennsyl
vania.
A third theory is that all the demenstra
-410111 In Maryland and Pennsylvania, and in
Virginia east of , the Bloc Ridge, are only
bands, by which Lee intends to confuse the
North and hold Hooker in cheek, while he
is rapidly rnevinglthe bulk of his army west
ward by the Cuniberland Road across the
mountains, designing to seize Pittsburgh, or
Wheeling, or perhaps both Mies. Thence be
Its to move Into the Valley of the Ohio, and
;eompel Roseerans to fall back out of Tonnes
when Bragg Is to reoccupy that State,
nd March into Kentucky.
—As to the probabilities which-can be cal
culated from the data of various kinds, gin
graphical, strategical and logistical, placed
within our roach at this 'protons time of
iniibl l Bl . WetildaPpear that the third of these
plans may be eountod out—owing to the ap
parent Impossibility of its execution. To
some extent it seems, as wo remarked In ad
verting to It a day or two ago, to have origi
nated and grounded itself on certain views of
M. Emil behallt,• as presented In his able
work, recently published, "on the Campaigns)
-1862 and 1863;" but even if Lee were a very
Napoleon he might well hesitate to commit
himself to the execution of so stupendous an
undertaking.
Either of the two first named plane la far
more likely to be the ono which Lea is bent
on Carrying out ; but it far as this conclusion
which we-come to, in onearned with our po
isition, preparation and duties, here in Pitts
burgh and throughout the western part of the
State of Pennsylvania, we have certainly no
warrant to relax our work,—for all the efforts
we can make to organize a military force here
will not be at all beyond what is needed, should
Stuart's tarsi'' , enter the Monongahelavalley.
We shall, In snob ease, have to depend -on'our
selves—aot certainly on any_ help from the
eastern part of the State, for evident& the
first thing the rebels•will do will be to make
a dash at some point in the Central Railroad,
and out off our communication with Barris
burg and the east. In fact, what was the
purpose of that column of the enemy, re
ported to be advaneing towards Bedford, but
to reach the Central at Altoona, by this well
known route, and there fulfil that part of the
programme assigned to thorn?
If, then, we fairly view the wholesituatien,
and the evidently poesslie, not to nay probable,
d&ItglIZ.01 relazlng.ths well-sustained efforts
of the past week or two, we shell bo very far
from wishing toroth: them for some weeks to
come—till every rebel force that threaten, our
State shall be hurled be* from its border and
etterly broken lip and subdued.

nounced as little better than the surrender of
Harper's Ferry by Col. Miles, we think oar
