Gen. Lee's advance on Gen. Meade attracted much attention.

The Daily News says that, while the Confederates are unable to dislodge Rosecrans, Lee's movements are so inconsistent with ordinary principles as to baffle all attempts at explanation. Gen Meade had nothing to gain by delivering battle in the centre of Virginia, and wisely declined to challenge his opponent until he reached his selected field, when, no doubt, he will be ready to receive him.

The Times says the last blow has yet to be struck, and the Federals will have extraordinary good for tune if a third battle on the scene of two defeats reverses the associations connected with the ill ened field of Bull Run.

The Times thinks Rosecrans will have to capitulate or retreat, and the former appears the most probable.
