THE REBEL PROGRAM.
THE WAR TO RE TRANSFERRED TO THE \

THE WAR TO RE TRANSFERRED TO THE NORTH.
The Memphis Bulletin Of Wednesday MORN
ing has the following from authentic sources,
among other interesting items as TO the pro-
ceedings of the rebels ave have some ink
ling of the subjects discussed at the conferences
of all the principal rebel military leaders, held
in Richmond on the 4th and 9th inst. 1t is
understood they came 10 the conclusion that
they must lose no more territory. The defen-
sive policy of the South thus far was strongly
attacked, and Generals Lee and Beauregard ad-
vsed the invasion of the north from three
points, namely: from Cumberland or Williams
port in Tennessee, from Louisville and Cincin-
natl into Indiana and Ohio, from Paducah and
Cairo into Illinois. 1t is alleged the following
plan of operations for the summer campaign
was decided on:
al irst, the immediate obstruction of the
James river, to make it impossible for General
Mcclellan to use it as means of reinforcements
and army supplies; second, the occupation of
Williamsburg, Yorktown, and the entire penin-
sula third, the recovery of the whole of the
territory of Virginia, and the suppression of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad fourth, the re-
covery of New Orleans, Memphis and the Mis-.
sissippi river, and the expulsion of the federal
troops from Tennessee and Kentucky. When
these objects have been accomplished, Gems.

the Potomac and Ohio rivers at once their basis
of operation and frontier line, and transfer the
seat Of war from Virginia to Maryland sixth,
to hurl upon Washington from Richmond a
column of 100000 picked troops, and by the
capture OF that city effect the liberation of the
city of Baltimore, and then invade the North
from the three points above named. They thus
becoming the invaders, hope TO make it neces-
sary for us TO keep at no re, for the defense Of
our cities, 500,0O troops"

'uiN - iOOA.
In 1856, resolution was adopted by the
County Convention of that year, to the effect
that future conventions should be called as
Delegate Conventions that each town should
be entitled to one delegate and one additional
delegate for every 500 inhabitants, and one for
any fraction less than 500 and equal to or ex-
ceeding $50. The apportionment has heretofore
been based upon the census of 1850; but this
year it will be based upon that of 1860. This
change will account for a few slight changes in
The representation compared with preceding
years.
The following table shows the number of
delegates to which each town in the county is
entitled under the call for this year,

THUNDER SHOWER. - About six o'clock
Tuesday evening this place was visited by the
most severe thunder shower that we have wit
messed for many years. The electrical phenom-

attractive to be agreeable to the nerves of timid
people. We do not learn of any damage by
lightning in this vicinity.

RICHMOND AND VICINITY.
Reported Evacuation by the Rebels.
A PEsTILENCE IN THE CITY.

A dispatch, dated Gen Pope's headquarters,
4th, says Information from various sources
tend to confirm the belief that the enemy have
really evacuated Richmond, and taken up the
south bank of the James river as the line of
their defenses. The rebel cavalry under Gen
Robertson are believed to have been Withdrawn
from the Shenandoah valley, leaving that part
of the country to the defence of the guerrillas
alone.
1t has been believed in Washington, in some
quarters, for several days, that the enemy have
been evacuating Richmond, there being rea-
sonable suspicion that a pestience has broken
out in that city.

THE EMPLOYMENT oE NEGROES.
In answer to deputaton of prominent citi-
zens who waited on the president on Monday,
to urge the acceptance of negro regiments, Mr.

offered as laborers. This, it is understood, is
the settled policy of the government.
