came the most available place where the roll

New YORK. Sept. 7

NV IOhh, ctpi. I.
A headquarters dispatch of the 9th to the
Herald says that prisoners deny that Lee is
receiving any large reinforcements, and say
his army is being la7idly depleted by deser
ton. This is also confirmed by citizens who
have come inside of our lines near the vi
cinity of the river and Culpepper.
Passes for over 5000 cOntrabands TO go to
Washington, have been granted since our
my came from Maryland There is scarcelya
slave now to be found east of the mountains
and north of the Rappahannock, who is not
too old for service, OF too worthless to enjoy
freedom.
On Friday a portion of Buford's cavalry
crossed the river at United States Ford and
traversed the rebel country some distance
over land, and saw no rebel troops, except
few pickets who fed when our cavalry ar
rived in sight. 1t is not thought that the en-
envy have any troops, save a few cavalry
pickets, on the Rappahannock and Rapdan
rivers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.
The IJib17le'S headquarters dispatch of the
Sth states that Col. b. c. Hill, Of the rebel
hammock from Fredericksburg that he would
like to see an officer of our army. The wish
being made known to Gen. Custor, the Gen
eral himself went TO meet him.
The motive of Col. Hills request was to
make inquiries respecting Gen. Gregg, with
whom he was once a class-mate and intimate
friend Gen. Custor received a note from
Col. Hill, which was forwarded. Col. Hill
remarked confdentially to Gen Custor that
peace was near at hand. This assertion was
also voluntarily made by two rebel officers in
the boat which conveyed Gen. Custor, and
by others on the shore.
On being asked the reason Of their suppo-
sition, they would not communicate it, simp-
| ly reterating their opinion. Col. Hill would
not state what command he was connected
with, but appeared to be a staff officer.
AT least 1000 cavalry and infantry from
the rebel army thronged about the wharf as
spectators when CustOr landed His recep-
ton BIZ the officers was exceedingly cordial.
Notwithstanding these anticipatlons OF peace,
the rebels expected another battle near Cui-

his belief in that class Of men, no reader Of

REV. L. II. CHAPLIN, of New York, afte

= REV. J.. ii. CHAPLIN, of New York, after
an absence of thirteen months in Europe, has
returned, and preached to an immense audi
ence in his church on Sunday last. Among
other things he said:
He came here from quiet lands-lands that
in former times had received the deep prints
of the hoOfs of war-lands that had gathered
deep in their bosom the memories and bones
of the dead-whose fields, once red with
carnage, now blossomed with flowers. What
struck him first here was the feverishness of
the people. He knew it was a fever upon
strong man--it was the fever of youth that
he verify believed would struggle through it.
But it was the fever of restlessness, and it
was that which struck Us more than anything
else needing in our hearts this faith that
Gods truth endureth to all generations
And this fact had been seen, that there
was a truth in this great and terrible strug-
gle, and that truth was to be maintained.--
He was sorry to see party stepped in malig
nifty. He was sorry to see on the one hand
distractions that would break the framework
of the Constitution and the laws by which we
alone can be bound in national unity and ma
tional life and he was sorry to see those
with sheepskin meekness cry peace, peace,
when there was peace, forgetting the
words that had rung through generations In
the ears of the uph0lders of every wrong,
and would ring until the banner of right
should be exalted: Il came not to send peace,
but a sword The politicians had not seen
the truth He thanked COP for the Ameri-
can people They had been true to it all,
carving the unity of the nation into the very
front Of battle. Our people went on. Our
national sensitiveness had been rubbed off
We had gone steadily to work, caring little

1t would be improper to designate the
forces now upon the other side, but the first
troops that landed opposite Stevenson were
those belonging to Col. II. C. Heg's brigade
of jeff c. Davis division. gallant sight
was presented when these hardy sons of uli-
nois and Wisconsin embarked in forty-eigbt
boats, and with colors flying and music SCUM
ding, advanced in line of battle, the boats
rowed by strong and willing hands across the
placid bosom OF the Tennessee. They fully',ex-
pected fight upon the other side, but the
enemy's pickets retired as our boys came on,
not disputing the landing by firing a single
shot. Col. Heg's banners were perhaps the
first that were planted upon the thither side
of the river, he having effected the crossing
before o'clock a. NJ.
