boro, the rebels account of the reception
Of Mr.. Valnudiyham within their lines,
and some editorial articles from the Chat
tanooga Rebel concerning him. The Rebel
nominaies him as candidate for Cover
nor OF Ohio, and fairly gushes with SYM
pathy tor him. suggesting that he should
run the blockade, get into Lower Canada,
and issue an address to the people of Ohio,
the terms Of which it is kind enough to
supply. 1t is announced that Mr.. VAL
landighsm is about to proceed to Rich
nond, and desires to avoid all public de-
naaa.ratioBs. This manifestation of . re-
firing disposition is something new for Mr..
valandig ham. lie certainly will fail to
perform his duty as a vigorous prosecutor
of peace, if he fails to give his Southern
lbreihren the benef. Of HE sloq uence, that
they may be persuaded to incline their

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
LEFT WING ARMY OF THE PoTOMAC,
Thursday. March Goth 1868.

The Washington authorities, who state the
Confederate army is falling back from tAe
Rappahannock TO the defences OF Richmond,
have been misinformed On the contrary, the
Confederates are hu1rying forward reinforce
ments rapidly, under the impression that
second attack is to be made near Frederlcks-
burg. THIS know TO be true. An editorial
on the situation, which appears in the Rich
nond Examiner OF the 18TH contains the fol-
lowing significant sentence:
''1he plan Of the Federa}s, so far as de-
ya!0ped, seems to be an engagement with the
Coufedelates on the old ground near freder-
icksburg, while large army passes the Hap
pahannocA lar higher. and keeping the upIands
on this side Of the stream come down on Gen.
Lee : rear
All Indications 90 TO show that the Rich
mon2 editor gives expression, III the above
sentence, to the opinion entertalne by the
Confederate commanders. They have it is
true, Withdrawn their forces from around Fred
ericksburg, but merely to move them up the
stream. in order to be prepared tor sucn a
movement On our part as Is here contemplated.
4 strong force has been posted near United
States Ford, consisting Of infantry, cavalry,
and artillery. Another formidable force has
been located at Raccoon S Ford on the Kappa
hammock. Anderson and Wilcox divisions
have been moved up, and now lie opposite
Banks and United States Fords.
Gen Fitzhugh Lee has been stationed near
CuIpeper with 1000 picked cavalry, ready to
