THE ATTACH ON WASHINGTON.
A friend of Jefferson Davis writes that his pur-
pose, lot long since, was 70 postpone the ipteDded
attack upon Washington until July, thinking that
there would occur an interval between the three
mouths and the three years men, the former nav
ing become tired of camp!fe aud homeSick, and The
latter being still undisciIlined. But Jeh. DAVIS
overlooked three ecoUaiderations--hat good chance
10 fight takes the hcmesickness out oi NorheTner;
that the three years would be called INTO SCI
vice before the three months were up, aud would be
drilling meantime; aud that forward movement,
such as is now taking place would materially affect
the position of Washington from military point OF
view. and force tho foe to attend TO several other
matters before capturing the Federal Capital.

mept declined to take the oath for three years,

turning will be- filed by recruits from New-iork.
