PLAN FOR THE CAPTURE OF WAsHINGToN-IM
foRrANT DEvELoPMENTs.-CoP orney writes from
Washington to the Philadelphia Press to-day
ga document was received this morning by
General Mansfield, from a true Union man, whose
name is prudently suppressed while he is in his
present position. The paper contained nforma-
ton drawn from seccssioDist; whose caution
was overcome by the impression that he was in
conversation with Confederate. 1t reveals a
plan for the capture Of the city. The rebel
force is to be divided into three divisions. One
of these is to occupy the attention of our troops
opposite Washington. While this is done, an.
other column crosses the POTOMAC, near Deco
guam, and advances through Maryland upon the
city, while the third column strengthened BY an
uprising of the rebel forces in Baltimore, ap
proaches the city from the north. These three
columns under the commands respectively of
Davis, Beanregard and Lee, Some delay has oc-
cured by misunderstanding between Lee and
Davis, caused by jealousy IN the part of Lee,
growing out of the promotion Of Beauregard, and
his appointment TO position Which Lee claim
ed as justly coming to himself. This is the state.
ment coming to General Mansfield"

THE CHARLESTON MERCURY SURPRISED AGAIN.
The Charleston Mercury cannot believe that
England and France have prohibited the bring
ing of Confederate privateer prizes into their
ports, for by that act it thinks they declare that
they are notneutrui or friendly, but hostile ma.
tons toward the Confederate States. But il the
rams Atlantic vices are true, the Mercury
thinks the Confederate Commissioners ought
Immediately to drop all intercourse with the
Governments OF France aud England and that
the Confederate STATES should carry out this poll
icy in their commercial relations. In o her
words, they should prohibit the expectation Of
cotton or tobacco to either of these nations. 4
