Fred. Douglas was in Washington yester-
day for the first time in his life. He had an
interview with the President and Secretary of
War, connected with business Of negro recruit
ing, and left again, TO resume his work, last
evening, His son is in the oath Mass. regj-
ment, and led one Of the charge against Fort
Wagner, coming out unframed.
Senators Harris and CONFESS and Represents
alive Ely are in town.
The rebels were lately very much outraged
at our sending them in exchange some sick
and wounded soldiers, who, they said, were Of
no use to them. Ii is understood That they
mean to retaliate by sending back to us some
Of our worst wounded, taken at Gettysburg.
mississippi and Tennessee levles are also
clamorous TO go home. The defeat al Gettys-
burg seems to have completely broken the
spirit of Lees army, and the utmost apathy
prevails among both officers and men. They
have lost all hope Of the South being able 10
succeed in the rebellion. Inc Zen are almost
unanimously in favor Of peace at any cost.

EEOn the Fourth of July the Demo
cracy Of Elbridge, Edgar County, Illinois,
had what they probably intended for a
"patriotic" meeting, at which they passed
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we hereby undoubtedly
pledge ourselves one to another that we
will not render support to the present Adj
ministration in carrying on this Abolition
crusade against the South. That we will
resist to death all attempts to draft any
Of our citizens into the army, aud that we
will permit no arbitrary arrests to be made
among us by the minions Of the Admin
istration.
Reso7eed, That we regarl the Emancl-
patton Proclamation as the 'Dal blow that
has destroyed all hopes of econstructing
the Union as it was. We a SO view It as
the entering wadge which viii ultimately
divide the Middle and Northwestern
States from car misunderstanding, puritan
zeal, fanatical New England brethren, and
finally eliminate ID tie formation OF a
Democratic Republic cut OF the Middle.
Northwestern and Southern States; and
for ftas zoe are thankful.

The Hsrald's Washington dispatch re-
ports that meeting of prominent friends
Of the Administration will be held in
Washington next week.
Speculation is rife as to its object, bat
the most prevalent opinion is, that it is on
account OF news received by General Hal
leck and others, that the rete leaders ars
willing to offer propositions for peace, be,
lieving their armies demoralized and bro,
ken up.
The same correspondents hints that sew
eral Cabinet meetings have been held in
relation TO the French policy in Mexico.
and it appears to have been decided that
the permanent occupation blythe French
shall not be permitted, and that the entire
abandonment Of Napoleon's policy there
will be demanded even at the hazard Of
war.
The Times Washingtco dispatch says:
A Lieutenant has recently deserved from
Lees army, and came within our lines,
bringing reports indicating an almost help
less condition Of affairs for the rebel Con-
ledefaCy. Nteat MISREPRESENTATION - satiu ~
exist amoug North Carolina, Tennessee
and Mississippi troops, who are anxious TO
return to their respective States. The
North Carolinians are especially clamorous,
and declare thai once at home, they will
throw down their arms and abandon the
rebel cause.
The troops from the Southwestern
States say there is no use in further resist
ance, since Vicksburg and Port Hudson
have fallen.

Letter from a Soldier.

j. G. COVER Dear SRI send
letter received from my Nephew, who be-
longs to Co. D 18th lii. Infantry. Make
what disposition Of it you think proper.
He speaks Of one 10 particular who he
expected would befriend him; that one is
bis father-a Buchanan Democrat. He
urges hard words when speaking OF the
home traitors, but to my mind not equal
to their meanness.
2. S.-The letter above spoken Of was
not intended for publication. The writer
was with Curtis ell through his campaign
in Missouri and Arkansas, at the battles
fought near Vicksburg last December, also
at the taking of Vicksburg. Up to the
last battle at Vicksburg he denounced the
abolitionists, claiming they was protracting
the war. Note what change.
