WASHINGTON, Sept 10.
No news from the Rapid Ann to-day.
From Fortress Monroe we have intelli-
gence, through Gen. Foster, to the effect
that large bodies of rebels continue TO
pass down to Richmond from Lees army.
They are all destined, according to re-
port, for Charleston and Chattanooga.
This transition has been 80 constant as
to lead him TO express the opinion that
Lees army is breaking with a view of
abandoning Richmond and massing at
some more Southern post Per contra
the opinion is held by officers and others
that this movement of troops is a sham,
Lees real idea being to draw Meade
away from Washington as far as possi-
bic, and then, by a sudden movement
flank him and attack. Lees headduar-
ters are at Richmond, and it is said the
rebels rely on the co. operation of two
iron olads, which they say are on their
way from England, and by which they
expect to force passage up the Po-
tomac.
Richmond papers of Saturday have
been received In the leading article on
: North Carolina the Examiner says that
while all the best men in North Carolina
are in the field defending their country
from subiugation and universal plumber,
there are some of the people they have
left behind them at home who express
the opinion that those soldiers have de-
,, Tended their country long enough, and
ought now to stop. In this opinion those
i people concur precisely with Abraham
Lincoln. He also thinks that our SOL
diers have fought long enough.
! At some sort of meeting held in Gran
vile county the other day, among other
resolutions adopted was this one
| "ResolVsd, That the present bloody,
wicked, and inhuman war has ragged
long enough without any profit or adj
+ vantage to either North or South; we
therefore call upon our representatives in
: the next Congress to try their utmost
o endeavors 10 obtain a cessation of hosti-
lites and termination of the present
struggle in just, honorable, and last
ing peace"
The deserters alluded TO in the execu-
: ton of ten North Carolina soldiers, who
= were shot on the 9th instant for deser-
y ton, also appear TO have formed Just the
Q came opinions though their consciences
g reproach them for having borne arms in
o such a bloody, wicked and inhuman
= war, and they hasten home 10 enjoy an
honorable peace in the bosoms of their
families. Neither is this kind of Lam
guage confined to little meetings surrep-
II tiOusly got together in some country
II courthouse.
" A man has actually proposed himself
as q candidate for Congress on this very
ground. j. Z. Leach is his name. His
address to the people of the Third Con.
y gressional District of North Carolina
defines his position thus: ave have
tried peaceful secession, Yankee cow
ardice, King Cotton, and foreign inter-
vention, and they have all signally
failed, as was predicted by those who
calmly reviewed the impending troubles
j. from proper stand point, and surely
= there is now no one SO devoid Of reason
To as to desire TO travel over the same road
k, again with its frightful consequences 81
AIbbu III MIR homVEltbs We may mOb
3 naturally suppose that during its mex
a, session Congress will be almost wholly
t. occupied in legislating upon the presen
unhappy condition of our country ant
to the bloody civil war now raging between
the North and South. In these natter
| shall deem it my duty TO shape mi
course in reference to the most successful
and satisfactory manner of securing
honorable and steady peace"
20 The same paper adds, there is nothing
pleasing this side Of the Mississippi
- river.
Senator Brown addressed the people a
~ Brandon on the Goth ult, reproachin
~ them for their timidity, and attempts
- to rouse them. There is undoubtedl
e' much Generalization in Mississippi
The river is crowded with transport
pr that might be destroyed by single bat
terry, but the selfish interests OF propert
re holders, who fear retaliation, secure Oh
g. transports of the enemy, repress the de
k monstratiOns of attack which We ha
expected would have ere this been mao
on the banks of the Mississippi.
