Lee Going into Winter Quarters.
From tho Grenada Appeal, Nov s..

RICHMOND, oct. %, 1882.
There talk Of Geral Lees failing back 70 'oiits
fo iiss Of his city for has scr quarters, and II Is quite
possible that change Of position may be adopted, for
connected with the question Of supplies and rans
portatioD. This would leave the country north or us
again open Yankee depredAons, but must be reco
lected that all the mischief the wreches could do in that
region has already been accomplished The whole face OF
nature has already been made desoae by then all the
mansions have been plagcd all the granaries cmpted,
and certainly nothing has been done since to repair the
ruin. No crops have in the fields blghted by
Pope, the returning fugves have pcopled tho solitude
which he made and called not peace" but conquest
So that the fact that the withdrawal OF General Ice
would second time expose that section 10 hostile ravage,
would be OF no consequence.
We have city news. Ga,Totina, burglary drunken
ness in spite If he Proroa Marshal, and all Of
itday the increase most darminsty and provisions
constantly advancing in price. Flour il x25 barrel
here in sight Of the largest mills in the WORLD and but.
tor is difficult to obtain at 81 SO per pound.
