Private letters have been received. which
state that a union has been made, and
that there is little cause Tor apprehension
in regard TO the military preparations in
Virginia. The movement was an ex-
tremely hazardous one and its sue

WAsHEeToS, August 22.-BalGmoro-
ans say since the order for drafting, over
1000 citizens Of Maryland, Between Is

side, Mcclellan and the chief command
crs were in council at Harrison'e Land

NEW YoBK, Aug. 23.--The Herald has
Richmond papers Of the 18th and 18th.
The Richmond Examiner Of the 18th
thinks great battle was impending be-
tween the rebel army on the Rapidan
and Gen. Pope's forces at such time as
their Generals should be ready, and not
before, and that the battle field would be
in the vicinity Of Culpeppor.
The rebel Congress met in Richmond
on the 9Th, on which occasion jeff Davis
submitted his annual message. He leads
oil in his usual hypocritical style, and
then alludes to the Federal Government
as robbers, assassins, ad infatug1. He
speaks of and recommends reialiatory
measures TO meet the laws recently pass
cd by the Federal Government; recon-
mends tho issue of more rebel treasury
shinpissters, and alludes TO the building
OF rebel war vessels at home and abroad.
The message betrays great signs of
weakness in the rebel Government. for
no nation that has power in its hands
ever puts forth such arguments as acqui-
escod in murder, rapine, &c, under the
name Of retaliation
