being destroyed in some districts of the coun-

disease is much worse, and in consequence there
has been speculation in Indian corn, which ad-
vanced 5s. to 10. sterling per TOM The same
Newry accounts add that "wheat is a very

The PLAN OF THE RgBELs.-We cannot
believe the plan at Richmond is for the i'm
mense Southern army lately on or near the
Potomac either to attack Washington or win
ter in Virginia. They know that they cannot
attack Washington with success. and they
know too that the whole subsistence of VIrgi
pia is eaten out. Such an army as that of the
Potomac could not subsist through the Win
ter in Virginia. Notoriously the impression
in the minds of the officers and men OF the
army is that they are TO find their Winter
quarters an Kentucky. The same impression
pervades the minds of the people of Virginia !;
and what is more, it pervades the minds of the
leading Secessonsts of this State The Sc
cessionlsts of our own neighborhood and we
doubt not OF all the neighborhoods in Kentuc-
ky, fully believe that the Confederate army in
Virginia intends occupying our State through
