Darwin, Esq, of Burlington spoke up,
wards of two hours after which the
meeting adjourned for dinner.
At two o'clock the vast crowd was
again at the stand and Senator Grimes
was introduced. He spoke eloquently
and effectively, holding the attention
Of his audience for two hours. At the
conclusion Of his speech, loud calls
were made for Col. Stone, who made
his appearance, when he was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers. He had
been confined to his room by illness
for some time and was not able to
speak at length. He spoke some TWEEN.
ty minutes and retired, leaving a very
favorable impression upon the minds
Of the people.
In the evening, nearly as large n
crowd gathered in front of the Save
ry House where speeches were made
by Senator Harlan, Gen. Curtis and

proud day for the Union cause in that
part of the State.

Rebel Predictions of Peace.

Col. r. G. Hill, of the rebel army,
recently sent word to the Rappahan.
mock, from Fredericksburg, that he
would like to see an officer of our ar
my. This wish being made known to
General Caster, the General himself
crossed the river. The motive of Col.
Hills request was to make inquiries
respecting Gen. Gregg, with whom he
was once q classmatc and intimate
friend. General Caster received a
note from Col. Hill, which was for.
waried. Col. Hill remarked, conf
IDENTIFY, to General Caster that peace
was near at hand. This assertion
was also voluntarily made by two
rebel officers in boat which convey
ed Gen. Caster, and by others On
shore. On being asked the reason Of
their supposition, they would not COM
municate it, simply reterating their
opinion. Col. Hill would not state
what command he was connected
with, but appeared to be staff officer.
At least 1000 cavalry and infantry
from the rebel army thronged about
the wharf as spectators. When Gen.
Caster landed. his reception bv the
officers was exceedingly cordial. Not
withstanding these anticipations of
peace, the rebels expected another
battle near Culpepper. They did not
anticipate attacking Us. but presum-
ed that when strengthened by con-
scripts they would resume the offens-
i've. Gen. Lee is yet in Richmond.
There is doubtless q consultation
among the heads of the rebel Govern
ment.
Great amiability exists between our
pickets and these of the enemy. Yes
terdsy about 100 men, belonging TO
both armies, bathed together in the

According to the programme, Mo-
bile is to be speedily attacked, or at
least invested. We attach no impor-
lance to the telegraphic rumor that
the enterprise has been abandoned.
The capture of it would be All i'm
mense advantage to the Federal cause
and terrible blow to the rebel Com
federacy. 1t would give the naviga-
ton of this Alabama River to our for
ces all the way up to Montgomery, the
capital of Alabama, and, in conjunc-
ton with the advance of Rosecraps
and Burnside to or at the same point,
place within our all-powerful grasp
the very heart and all the other vital
organs Of the rebellion. The taking
of Mobile is in itself of far greater i'm
portance than that of Charleston.
But the taking of Mobile, like that
of Charleston, is difficult. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult. The city is trcmend-
ously protected against attacks both
by water and land. It's land or rear
defenses consist of several series OF
the strongest Notifications, series with,
in series, several miles in extent, all
earth-works like those which have
proved so nearly invulnerable upon
Morris Island, all constructed upon
the most approved principles Of Mill
tary engineering, and all mounted
with artillery of the most effective char.
acter. The water front defenses con-
sist Of powerful forts and numerous
batteries mounted with some of the
heaviest cannon used in the South du-
ring the war, and all sorts of harbor
distractions the most formidable and
perilous. The military men in Mobile
believe that no feet in the world
could run the gauntlet Of the approach.
es to their barbor.
Thus the undertaking upon which
our land and naval forces are about
to enter at Mobile is q stupendous
one. We assume that favorable
result is certain, but we do not ex.
pect it to occur speedily. Ideas Of
dashing precipitately and madly up
on such land and water defenses al

been exploded at pretty serious COS

long been in expectation of the tria

made preparation for it by the utmos,
possible accumulation of provisi ons
and ammunition.
