THE advices from rebel sources, to the 22d
inst indicate that the purpose was to make
a desperate defence at Richmond. The citi-
zens have been for some time preparing for
it; their troops have not yet shown signs OF
rctreating beyond Richmond; and one of the
last acts of the rebel legislature, previous to
its propagation, was to appropriate 100000
for ''thc removal and temporary maintenance of
such persons as may, by reason of poverty or
otherwise, be unable to withdraw from the eft
fectS of the bombardment of the city. None
OF the reports of the evacuation of the city
have vet been confirmed, though they have
come upon every species of authority; and
the character of Gen. McClellans progress, as
he approaches the city, indicates clearly enough
that his position relatively to his opposing force
has not yet materially changed. The new
plan OF the campaign, reported by the Shelby
(Ky.) News, under which the rebel army
were. as a last resort, to make desperate
dash upon Pennsylvania and Maryland, though
in some respects a plausible one, does not
appear from anything that has yet occurred
to have been seriously entertained And we
Imagine that with the examples of northern
resources in the face of danger before him,
Davis will hesitate long before trusting his
troops upon northern soil.

Rebel Strategy.
From the Shelby tKyJ News.


The measures recently adopted by the trail
tors, and which they are endeavoring to carry
out, may be stated thus -
l.. Withdraw all the forces from the Vir-
ginla and North Carolina coasts. and concern
trate them at some central point in Virginia
lheSe forces to form one wing of the rebel
army 10 be placed under the command of
Joseph u. johnston, and to move in the direc-
ton OF Ilttsburg Pa, for the purpose of in
vading that state.
,. Withdraw all forces from the coasts of
South Carolina and Georgia and concentrate
them at Chattanooga, or some adjacent noint
This division to form another wing of tha reh-
ell army, under command of Robert f. Leo
and to move in the direction of Louisville
for the purpose of invading Kentucky and
Ohio.
3. Withdraw the forces from the coasts Of
Florida and Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
Texas and Arkansas, and concentrate them at
Corlnth The wing to be commanded by G.
L. Beauregard, and to move in the direction
of Paducah, with the intent of invading Hi
nois and Indiana.
This plan was formed by full council of
leading traitors. 1t is unnecessary for us TO
give the source of our information. Suffice
it, that our informant obtained it from a ma
tive of this state, now a resident of another
state, and whose name has often been given
in the newspapers in the southern states as
trusted and confided agent of the trail
tors against the Union. Socially and polti-
cally lie stood among the most prominent be.
fore the rebellion. With these facts before
him the reader can see why it is that Morgan,
Wood, King, and Scott with their marauding
bands are thrown forward into Tennessee and
Kentucky. They are ready to act in gather
ing all the rebel forces that can be mustered,
fully enforcing the conscription law in the
states whenever Beauregard moves forward,
and also to cut off the small detachments of
Union forces stationed at various points in
Kentucky and Tennessee, and small detach-

The PERIOD OF ENL1srMENr-The provis-
ions of the law of congress under which the
militia are now called into service are as fol-
lows
Sect. =. And be it further enacted, that
whenever, in the Judgment of the president, it
may be necessary to use the military force
hereby directed to be employed and called
forth by him, the president shall forthwith, by
proclamation, command such insurgents to
dispense and retire pcaceably to their rcspc-
tive abodeS, within a limited time.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the
militia so called into the service of the United
States, shall be subject to the same rules and
articles of war the troops Of the United
States and be continued in the service Of the
United States until discharged by proclama-
ton of the president; provided, that such
continuance in service shall not extend beyond
sixty days after the commencement of the next
regular session of congress, unless congress
shall expressly provide by law therefor; and
provided, further, that the militia so calledin-
to the service of the United States shall, dur
ing their time of service, be entitled to the
same pay, ratiOnS, and allowances for clothing
as are or may be established by law for the
army of the United States.
Much feeling is reported to exist among the
troops who have been called together, many
of them never having heard of this new law,
and assuming that three months was the ex-
IRENE limit for which they could be held. We
understand that Gov. Andrew had telegraph
cd last evening to the war department to learn
whether the government will accept three
months troops; the answer is not yet known.
We trust ii will be favorable and all cause of
difficulty removed. Some authority from the
beginning of this movement seems to have
been seriously at fault. The order given to
the governors of the states has not yet been
published, and nothing has appeared in any
official papers to Indicate that the militia were
expected to serve for longer period than
they had served before when called out for
an emergency. The disappointment of the
troops is of course very great.

To these should be added the third battalion
infantry, with nearly three hundred men in
this city, the thirty second regiment with six
hundred men, who left for Washington Mon
day evening, and an artillery company of one
hundred and fifty men, who went to form Il
part OF the garrison ut fort Warren. During
the day yesterday active preparations were
going forward for the dispatch of the several
regiments TO the points where their services
were required. The unfortunate n,isundcr-
standing in regard to the time of their service
will probably cause further delay, and, we
fear, some unpleasant confusion. The old

| GEN. JACKsoN's FIELD OF OPERATION
A tairer portion Of the southern confed-
eracy than the valley of Virginia has not vet
been given up to the tread of the Yankee in
VaderS. No sooner had Banks and his horde
entered the valley than wholesale system of
ROBBERY was commenced The farms were
invaded by struggling squads, and the horses
ahustock carnedot under the very eyes of their
owners, no secresy being attempted. The
slaves have also been stolen or enticed away
and IN numerous instances. where they have
refused to leave their masters, threats of
death have compelled them to flee to the
mountain. The horses selected by the ma
rauderS are the most valuable for blood and
speed, this information being obtained from
slaves of the owners.
But this is not all. The houses of the resi-
dents have been invaded by Yankee stray
glers, who think no more of demanding the
Keys OF the corn crib and smoke house than
would the owner himself. Corn and bacon
are taken in such quantities as suits them.
without the least show of authority. In such
dread Of invasion do the families stand that all
the silver and valuables have been buried. OK
cept such articles as are actually necessary.
The counties of Clarke aud Warren suffered
particularly from Blenker's division of Dutch
on Its march from Bells ferry, in the direc-
ton OF ROnney. Some of the drunken stray
glers shot hogs, sheep, and other stock on the
route, and selecting fine Joint, would leave
the carcass lying on the highway Poultry
was wantonly slaughtered in the farmyards
and eaten raw.

rats encountered on the march of this horde,

conduct was attributable to directions from
their officers, who were totally unable to con-
troll them. These robberies and outrages are
not those of a day, but are of daily occur
renee and they will continue until jackson
returns to sweep down the valley, and the
vandals be driven into or across the Potomac.
This is the prayer of every patriotic heart in
the valley, and if the confederate government
be true to its obligations, it will be done, and
as speedily as the other movements of the
army will admit. As a lady remarked to the
writer, Given the mountains look abashed

What he Is doing, or where he is, is not

to circulate for the excitement and edification

the enemy does not create half the interest
with which the event was regarded one week

The VALLANDIGHAM 'DEMOCRACY."-Th
undertaken to organize party at the
north to support their views, do not dare to
utter their whole meaning distinctly. Never
theless, their address tells so much, that it
has not been as successful as they wished.
Even the Nashville Union denounced it as
full of disloyalty. Some of their followers,
however, speak out more plainly. For ex-
ample, the Carlinville 1ll.) Spectator of May
10th, devetes an editorial to the subject,
which would be loudly cheered at Richmond
No secession newspaper can talk more trea-
sonably. The following extract from it shows
the real purpose and spirit of this Vallandig-
ham democracy:
awe call the especial attention of our read
ers to the address Of the democratic members
Of congress from the free states to the people
of the United States. The sentiments CON
tlined in it look as if a day of redemption was
approaching, and that the days of leadeR des-
potism were drawing to Il close. The vUL-
GAR, STAGGERING UsURpER at Washington,
rhO has the Wn5iUShiHg 1hppdence TO Inti-
mate tn t lie, and he alone, IS the government
Of the United States, may begin to take warm
lug This address comes like the peal of
the tocSin and the roar of the alarm gun. The
UNITY OF DEsPoTIsM they pledge themselves
to resist, as did our fathers, ruth their lireS
their fortunes, and their Sncled horror Let
the democracy come bravcly up to the move
that promises to disenthrall the country from
the tyranny more odiouS than Austrian des-
potism. This is movement in the right li-
rection, and the only objection to it is that it
does not go far enough"
There are traitorous men at the north who
are constantly on the watch for some success

tors. They have dared to organize regiments
for reasonable service, but they now are try
ing to organize a party instead.

THE NEW REBEL sHIBBoLETH.
from the Richmond Dispatch. q.

Mississippians never surrender was the
response Of the authorities of Vicksburg to
the insolent summons of the Yankee gunboat
captain to surrender the city 1t is similar to
the memorable reply of Gen. Taylor to Santa
Anna, who with force of four to one, de-
manded his surrender on the field of Buena
Vista. As the Mexican hosts were over
thrown aud routed there, we have good rea-
son to hope that the federal hosts will be over
thrown and dismayed on every future field
where the subjugation of the south is attempt
cd. Since jeff. Thompson so successfully
and heroically resisted the federal gunboats
on the Mississippi, and their great armada of
iron-clads was so signally repulsed at Drury's
Bluff, these monsters of the water have lost
much of their terror, and there is strong
probability that they will meet with stern re-
sistance rather than willing surrender here
after. Let the war cry be, "Confederates
never surrender"
