to employ them without reference to their

Of the subjects discussed at two confer.
ences. Of all the principal rebel military
leaders held in Richmond on the 4tt
and 9th inst, 1t is understood that they
came to the conclusion that they mus,
lose no more territory. The defensive
policy was strongly attacked, and both
Lee and Beauregard advocated the inya-
sion Of the North 1t three points, name
ly from Cumberland or'Wiiliamsport in
to Pennsylvania, from Louisville and Gin
cinnati into Indiana and Ohio, and from
Padueah and Cairo into Illinois. 1t is
alleged that the following plan of opera
tons for the remainder Of the summer
campaign was agreed upon:
First. The immediate obstruction of
the James River, SO as to make it impos-
sible for Mcclellan to use it as means
for communication with the Government,
and for their transportation Of reinforce
ments and army supplies. 4
Second. The occupation Of Williams
burg. Yorktown, and the entire Peninsu-
In.
Third. The recovery of the whole Of
the territory of Virginia, and the sup
preston Of the B. & o. r. r.
Fourth. The recovery Of New Or

err, and the expulsion Of the Federal troops
from Tennessee and Kentucky, when
these objects had been accomplished

posed.
Fifth to make the Potomac and o hio
