MUNcHAUsENIsM- The Richmond Wing
of the I'd inst, blocked out work for Lee
in Pennsylvania as follows:
"THE CoAL FIELDS OF PENNsYLvA-
Mali it be true that the Confederate
forces occupy Harrisburg, the attention of
the Commanding General will no doubt be
directed to the coal fields, which lie within
forty or fifty miles of that city. His first
aim will be to cut all the railroad connec-
tons, and thus put a stop to the transpor-
tation of fuel. His next will be to des-
troy the most costly and not easily re-
placed machinery Of the pits. Whether
he would stop at this is questionable He
might set fire TO the pits, wjthdrow the
forces sent ont on this special duty, and
lea0e the heart Of Pennsylvania on fire,
aeoer to be q,tenched until q riger is turned
into the pits, or the east supply Of coal IS
reduced to ashes.
All that is needed is to seize the anth-
racite fields, destroy the roads and the
machinery of the pits, set fire to the vari-
Gus mines and leave them. Northern in
dustry will thus be paralyzed at single
blow.
These views have induced Gen Lee to
move upon Harrisburg. We doubt wheth-
er he would fire the mines, but the des-
truction of the Mauch Chunk Railroads
and pit implements would be as legitimate
as blowing up tunnels and acqueducts and
burning bridges. OF one thing we may
be sure-that whatever the best is to be
done will be done by Gen. Lee, and if he
thinks fit to destroy the Pennsylvania
mines, they will certainly be destroyed
Should he leave them untouched, it will be
for the best of reasons. But it is impossi-
BILE not to indulge the hope that he will
avail himself of the tremendous power
which the possession of the coal fields,
even temporarily, would confer"

The Mission OF ALEX. H. STEPHENS

THE Mission OF ALEX. H. STEPHENS.
"A special despatch to the New York
Times give the following facts concerning
the attempted conference with the Presi-
dent by Alex. H. Stephens
On Sunday the 9th INST, the Secretary OF
War received despatch from Col. Lud-
low, United States Commissioner for the
exchange Of prisoners of war, attached to
the staff OF Major General DIX, com
mander of the Department of Virginia, to
the effect that Alex. H. Stephens, Military
Commissioner for the Confederate States,
had presented himself in Confederate
steamer, under flag of truce, and stated
to Colonel Ludlow that he was the bearer
of a communication in writing from jeff
erson Davis, Commander in-Chlef of the
land and naval force of the Confederate
States of America, to Abraham Lincoln,
COMMANDMENTS Chief of the land and naval
forces of the United States Of America,
and that he desired to proceed IN the same
Confederate steamer TO Washington and
deliver the said communication, attended
only by Robert Ould, as Secretary, for the
purpose of comforting upon the subjects Of
the aforesaid communication, and the Off
GERS and crew Of the steamer.
The Secretary of the Navy, on the SAINT
day, received a similar despatch from Act
ing Rear Admiral Lee, commanding the
squadron in Hampton Roads.
On Monday, the Secretary of War, and
Secretary of the Navy, respectively an
swered to Col. Ludlow and Rear Admiral
Lee, that the request of Alex. H. Stephens
is inadmissible. The Customary Agents
and Channels are adequate for all neediu
military communication and conference be
tween the United States forces and the IN.
surgents.

EDITOR RUTLAND HERALD: - The

ed with prospect Of remaining for

progress of events during this Peninsular

while we take another lesson IN "learnng
to labor and wait which every soldier
has to learn over and over again, and he
who learns 1t quickest and best has most
content. There are reasons why the 9TH
is not allowed to move on the enemy's
works, which | will give. This place
must be occupied, and our General is not
well enough for more active field duties, so
our brigade does not go to the front this
time. 1t may be safer place here, but
the men would gladly hear the order to
advance. We employ our time in doing
ordinary camp and picket duty, eating
blackberries, fighting mosquitoes and
keeping cool. The weather has been very
favorable for the latter till within two
days. 1t is now getting hot again. There
seems to be no enemy in our vicinity save
occasionally bushwhacker.
The 9th has now a Major, formerly
Capt. Jarvis of 20. D, a whole souled pa
triot, an earnest soldier, and one OF the
best OF men. The health of the regiment

DAVIS AND PIERcE.-Franklin Pierce's
recent speech at Concord Is well calculat-
ed 10 recall what jeff Davis said in a
speech in Mississippi, after his return from
a northern trip, in 1859, 1t was as fol
lows;
g | am happy to state that during the
past summer heard in many places,
what previously ] had only heard from
the late President Pierce, the declaration
that whenever a Northern army should be
assembled for the subjugation Of the South
they would have battle to fight at home,
before leaving the limits of their own
state, and one in which oar friends claim
that the victory will be at least doubtful"
1t seems rather late now for Mr., Pierce
to carry out his programme of civil war
at the North. But as he now relies
wholly on moral suasion and "mauso-
leum of hearts," we presume he has given
up the idea of fighting the soldiers of
the Union ''before leaving the limits OF
their own state" But there are different
ways of attaining the same end, aud per-
haps the inculcation of the idea that the
North is wholly to blame for the war, that
our fighting has been "without compen-
sation," and that peaceful agencies
Alone" can settle the contest, may be re-
garded as more efectual at the present
moment than open resistance. Doubtless
jeff Davis would say so.-BoSt0a JdufRat

rHE $500 EXEMPTION. -,

The $500 EXEMPTION. There has
been good deal of discussion in Boston
and Providence, where the draft has taken
place, as to the effect of the payment of
three hundred dollars-whether it releases
a person for the term of three years or
during the war;" or whether he is liable to
another draft during that time. The Pro-
vost Marshal of Providence has announced
his understanding of the matter to be that
the payment of the three hundred dollars
exempts person for the whole term dur
ing which he was drafted to serve, and
has the same effect as though he procured
a substitute and he gives certificates to
that effect to those paying the money
This is doubtless the true construction OF
the law, as it is certainly the only one con-
sistent with common sense and justice.

SERVED RIGHT. - The Philadelphia
Ledger in commenting upon the ''inactive
classes" in that place says:
"This rebel raid or intended invasion
and subIugation will unquestionably cure
many of these persons. The other day
there was in the Cumberland Valley a
large distiller, who frequently boosted
among his friends that he did not fear the
secessionists or Lees army. When they
came he was going to place himself under
their protection, and treat all around with
ouple of barrels of whiskey, They
came and took him, seven hundred barrels
of whiskey-his entire stock. Round
about York and in Adams county there
have been too many who have trusted to
the forbearance of the foe, and been
stripped of eyerything."'
