NEW YORK, September 11.-SPecials TO
the Tribune says it Is believed by military
men whose means Of information are Of
the best description, that General Lee has
within the last few days received heavy
reinforcements, and he medttates another
aggressive campaign. The weakness shown
by the rebel arms at other points, is thought
TO strengthen the probability that the tn-
surgents are gathering their forces for q
desperate effort under their most trusted
Commander.

BB-THE WEATHBR.-It has been a sub
iect of surprise to many minds that there
have been SO many rain storms during the
Summer and yet left the ground SO dry
A writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch applies
the following reasons: If there was a
rain here to-day inquiry would show that
there had been none outside of the city
Tomorrow it rains in another place, but
no rain falls outside of the immediate vi
cinity. This has been the nature of the
storms, numerous enough during the sum
mer, but distributing only little
here and a little there, like very
scarce article in times of famine. 1t is no
1iced that since last spring there has not
been in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio,
one general rain storm extending over a
large part of the States, sufficiently heavy
to saturate the earth to the depth of six
inches. The wind aud sunshine succeed
ing the storms have evaporated the little
dampness of the earth.
There has been no want of clouds full
of water, but the earth being destitute of
dampness aud electricity, was too weak to
attract that water. The hot winds from
Minnesota and the Indian territory, where
there has been severe drought, have
dispersed the clouds leaving it dry here
The wind during the summer has been
from the west and southwest.
1t is believed that the thunderstorm on

amount. of territory than any preceding

we'll l.to the earth before the storm of the
succeeding midnight came, which dis
charged large amount of water. These
combined forces will attract very much
water from tho clouds, and give us rain
probably on Friday or Saturday night
next. Should this be so, the earth will he
so strengthened that we will have rain on
an average of every fifth day until the

BD-DEvlL Bill PARsoNs.-Most West
Virginians since the breaking out of the
rebellion, have heard of Devil Bill Parsons,
as active and energetic rebel as ever
turned guerilla and bushwhacker. He was
very unfayorably. mentioned in Captain
Lieb's book, ''Nine months in the Quar-
termaster' Department in Western Virgin
ia" and no guerrilla has been more con-
spicueus and desperate. Devil William
was arrested about a year ago, and after
being kept in confinement for considers
BILE time was released upon bail and upon
taking the oath of allegiance. He went
home to Calhoun county, and in less than
a week was again at his old tricks. Our
soldiers soon heard of his operations and
have been trying to capture him for
months. Last week he was heard of in a
secluded place in the county of Calhoun,
and squad of the 11th Virginia Infantry
''laid for him." and succeeded in effecting
his capture. William had just returned
from plotting gang of horse thieves to
Wythyille and was about starting on q SIM
liar enterprise. He said, of course, that he
had been doing nothing except trying to
keep out of the way of Yankees for whom
he professed to have great terror. he was
hatless and shoeless and as ragged as Lag
arus. He was brought to,the city and af-
ter remaining few days in his old quarters
at the Atheneum was sent to Camp Chase
