lseheI Accomnt of Lee,s Plans

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-hlthough there is
at present no evidence OF an aggressive move
ment on the part of Gen. Lee, still all the in
formation received directly from Richmond
and Curroborated by the statements OF de- ert-
ers and exchanged prisoners, tends to Snow
that long time will not elapse before the reb-
el commander, who is now getting ready tor
the fall campaign, will take the initiative and
push his columns forward.
a gentleman of foreign BIRTH and holding an
official position in Richmond, writes to his
friend in this city that the report is current
that Gen. Lee will shortly give battle to Gen.
Meade; and if that general refuses to accept
1t, and falls back under the protection of the
Notifications OF Washington, Gen. Lee will
then invade Maryland, where PREF arations
have been made by the secessionists of that
state to receive him and to give him all the as
slstance IN men, money, arms, and provisions,
that they can procure.
This time Gen. Lee will avoid PENNSYLVANIA
Upon which the Thermometers look as a
northern state hostile in principles and in
feelings to the south, while Maryland, they
hold, belongs to the SOUTH Gen. Lees inva-
sion will not have, however, the permanent
occupation OF that state for its object, but
simply the selection Of IL field of battle where
ne can wait the approach of the Union army.
MS ann Is not 10 carry operations nOrthward,
but, as before, to take possession OF Washing
ton. if the fortunes OF war are in his favor; if
not, he will fall back upon Richmond, and
wait for the UniOnists behind the Notifications
OF that place.
Notwithstanding his presence on the Rap
pahannock, Gen. Lee is said to be organizing
secretly an army OF reserve, the location of
which will be either Winchester or some place
III the Shenandoah valley. Ihis army, to
which all the conscrptS passing through
Richmond are directed, will be forty thou
sand strong. The mission is not yet known,
although it is generally believed that it will
have an independent organization and par
ucular task to perform Gen. Longslrcet is
talked OF as its most probable leader
All the rebel officers who were at Richmond
on leave OF absence, have gone back to their
regiments. The city, which was full OF them
week ago, contains now 10 other persons
than civilians and invalids. 1t is also report
ed that whole division, supposed to have
been detached from the army of the west,
passed through Rlchm0nd during the night of
the l2ti, to take part in the operations of the
1aiI campaign, whose opening will take place,
according TO public rumor, in the earlier part
OF Septenher.-Tfi6HRe.

RECEIPT TO MAKE CURRANT WINE.-The
currants should be fully ripe when picked ;
put them into a large tub, in which they may
remain a day or two; then crush them with
the hands, unless you have small patent
wine press, in which they should not be
pressed too much, or the stems will be bruised
and impart disagTeeable taste to the juice
Ii the hands are used, put the crushed fruit,
after the juice has been poured of, in a cloth
or sack, and press out the remaining juice.
Put the juice back in the tub after cleansing
1t, where it should remain about three days,
until the first stages of fermentation are over,
and removing once or twice day the scum
cOpiously arising to the top. Then put the
juice into vessel-a demjohn, kcg or barrel
OF IL size 10 suit the quantity to be made,
and to each quart of juice add three pounds of
the best sugar, and water sufficient to make a
gallon.
Thus ten quarts of juice and thirty pounds
of sugar will give you ten gallons Of wine,
and so on in that proportion. Those who do
not like very sweet wine can reduce the guam
tlty of sugar to two and half or two pounds
per gallon.
The cask must be full, and the stopper or
bung left off until fermentation ceases, which
will be in twelve OF fifteen days. Meanwhile
the cask must be filled up daily with water,
or what is better, currant juice left over as
fermentation throws out the impure matter.
When fermentation ceases, rack the wine off
carefully either from the spiggott or by a sy-
phon, and keep running all the time. Cleanse
the cask thoroughly with boiling water, then
return the wine, bung up tightly, and let it
stand four or five months, when it will be fit
to drink, and can be bottled if desired

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM CHARLESTON.
The Blockade not Interrunted


The iron steamer Princes Royal, in charge
of Acting Master Edward Vanslice, arrived off
the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, on Sunday
February Sth. She brings highly important
! intelligence, both as re lates to her capture
and the rebel attack on our blockading squad
ron at harleston, showing conclusively that
there is no foundation for the assumption of
the rebels that the blockade of Charleston
was ever raised by the departure of the United
States feet-only two vessels ont of eight or
ten having been disabled and obliged to leave.
1t appears from the statement of an eve-wit-
ness, that the cause of this attack of the rebe !
rams on our squadron was owing TO the cap
ture of the Princes Royal-the captain and
pilot of that vessel having escaped ashore du-
ring the darkness of the night, and communi-
Gated the Intelligence to the enemy. The
Princes Royal endeavored to run the blockade
by way of Breach Inlet on the 29th January.
but was discovered by the piIot-boat Bluut,
and the signal being given, the Unade LA pro-
ceeded towards her and captured the prize
without other assistance. According to rebel
news, the port of Charleston was thoroughly
oloekaded on the Sd Of February, The Fed
eral iron-clads were lying inside of the wooden
walls at that time-not having been with the
1eet when the attack was made on the lst inst.

The RAFTs1DAn's JouRNAl,
HOW THEY GET SUPPLIES

NJ. NJ. KINNEY the United States Vice :
Consul at Monterey. Mexico, has written let
ter in which he says:
ssThe rebels are buying up everything here
that can be eaten, worn, or that can be used
to kill Union men. 1t is astonishing to see
the enormous quantities of goods that go from
here into Texas. Millions of dollars worth
of cotton are sold here monthly; all of which
is sent back to the rebels, by theiragents here.
in the shape of powder, lead, coffee, blankets.
shoes, rope, sugar, cotton goods OF all kinds,
and, in fact, everything that can be used by
their army. An order is here now for 600,-
900 blankets, all of which can be had, and
with sufficient amount of money to pay for
them. Agents the frontier, and as far
in the interior as San Louis Poto.i, buying up
all the wheat and flour that can be had, are
already sending it across the Rio Grande
daily. Most of the goods go from here across
the river at Fort Duncan. Only few cross
at Leredo or Roma. Until this trade is cut
off. Texas will not feel the blockade, at least
the western part. If federal force could
only be sent to Fort Brown it would have the
effect to stop the trade almost entirely. You
can hardly have an idea of the way Union men
are treated in Texas. They are hung on the
slightest suspicion, and by bodies OF irrespon-
sible men, who, were they in a country where
law was respected, would not be allowed out
side of prison yard. We have here
upon this frontier about one thousand Union
men, who are only waiting for an invasion of
Texas to get chance to- join the Federal army
From the above it is manifest how the rebel
army has been clothed and fed, and also how
the goods have been paid for. Texas cotton
is as good gold in Mexico, and will buy ar
ticles that could not be purchased with Con-
federate scrip.

FROM TENNEssFE

Late advices from Tennessee give an ac-
count of brilliant affair at Fort Dorelson.
1t seems that rebel force of from 5000 to
1000 made a sudden attack upon the garrison
in the fort, and succeeded in capturing four
guns. Our boys, however, rallied and drove
the rebels back, rctaking the guns, killing 1856
OF the enemy, and wounding and taking 800
prisoners. Forrest, the rebel guerrilla caval-
ry chief, was reported to be wounded Our
loss was from 40 to 80 killed and wounded.
Col. Stokes regiment of Tennessee cavalry
and a regiment of Kentucky volunteers.
dashed upon camp of rebels at Middetown,
fifteen miles west of Murfreesboro, on the End.
Our cavalry made a Sabre charge and took
them by surprise,-killing one, taking 100
prisoners, their equipage, horses, wagons, ect

and all his officers were among the prisoners.
