THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
Exciting ana Important Rumors.-
Lees Army Reported in Motion.
WAsHIyGToN. Sept |. 1863.

W ASHINGToN, sept L, 1903.
The Star of this evening has the follow
ing: A repor, has reached here that large
body of the rebel army. said to number
30. 600 men. of all arms. yesterday crossed
the Rappshannock at Port Conway. lii
supposed Tor the purpose OF hanking Gen
Meade. This report needs confirmation up
to the hour when we go to press. but may
be true as the rebels nave lately shown
signs of restle>sness. Indicating that the
time has come, in the opinion of the rebel
leaders, to do or die before the rebellion
plays out entire.
In crossing so low down as Port Con-
way, il he has done SO, he must have
counted upon an extreme low stage Of wa
ter in the Rappahanneck to ave him from
a flank attack by cur gnnboats. but his po
sition may yet prove precarious one.
If he does intend to try an advance
movement. our army vii gladly welcome
him.
Through private information. we are
satisfied that rebel General Stewart has
been for some days past making prepare
tions in the vicinity of Culpepper Court
House for an extensive cavalry movement
in some direction. as yet unknown to US.
If it be true, as alleged elsewhere in to-
days Star, by report that Lee has thrown
considerable portion of his army east oil
the Rappahannock. in the vicinity of Port
Conway. that movement must be but q
feint to prevent our cavalry from paying
due attention to the movements of the
force with which Stuart proposes to make
his contemplated raid.
About thousand rebel cavalry under
Imooden and White. attacked and pursu-
ed small party of our cavalry to-day
chasing them to Edwards Ferry Oh thu
Potomac The infantry at that point pre-
vented the rebels from crossing.
| 1t is rumored that another large body
of rebels were attempting to cross above
at Point Of Rocks. but this is not fully
credited.
Another force of rebels is reported t.
be at Great Falls. Is miles above George
town, this evening.
The latest report is that Gen. Lee is II
Richmond, with his army lying in detach
ed bodies between Blue Ridge and Port
Royal. on the Rappahannock. Long
streets command is on the extreme RICH
along the line of the Richmond and Fred
|ericksburg Railroad. and "A. p. Hill is il
the center, lying from Orange Cour
House to Culpepper. and Ewell on tn

JEFF Davis Concludes to Arm the Me-
49, gr0es.

A late dispatch from Fortress Monroe
says, Rebel papers received at Morehead
City. North Carolina. say that jeff Davis
has decided. after q conference with the
Governors of the Confederate States. to
call out about half million Of black
troops, who are to receive their freedom
and fifty acres Of land.
What will Northern Copperheads say to
this? We predict they will justify it as
an act of retaliation, because the U. g.
first set the example. Davis has not, We
believe, been actuated by motives Of retail
alton in the matter, but entirely from me-
cessity, as President Lincoln and all the
loyal men of the North. foresaw from the
start that he would do as dernisr resort,
when be found his case becoming despe-
rate, and wisely concluded to take the in
istive in the matter, which events will ye.
demonstrate was strategical measure OF
incalcnlable importancc. Let Davis call
ont bis black troops if be thinks proper.
They will avail him little, and be the
means not only of a speedy overthrow OF
the rebellion, but the end of African slave
~ in the United States. If the negroes
arc once armed in the South they will not
lay them down until their wives and chill
) dren and relatives are made free ~ well as
themselves.
But what will the Copperheads say Of
! the power exercised by JEFF Davis? Does
the Confederate constitution confer upon
him IS President the power to arm or fres
any portion Of the slaves? Certainly not
Yet, as Commander in Chief Of the Con-
federate forces he exercises the right. and

1t is cheering sign of the times that the
War Democracy Of TIE entire North are
sloughing off from the Copperhead party
We have already noticed the immense
meeting at indianapolis. and the action of
the War Democrats Of Wisconsin. The
same party in Ohio have issued an address
to the people Of that State. in which they
speak out boldly. as follows:
The object of strife. upon the part OF
the Government is to preserve .hc bond of
our political existence--to vindicate the
authority Of the Constitution. and main
tain as a nation our territorial landmarks
unimpaired.
1t is manfestly our duty as Democrats.
in the present crisis to pledge the Govern
ment not only all the aid in men and
means, which the emergency requires but
also by our votes to yield it that moral
support SO necessary to the speedy accom-
pishment of this object.
Entertaining these views, il is clearly
impossible for us to support as our candi-
date for Governor Of the State of Ohio a
man who, from the commencement of the
war, has, as We believe. placed himself in
direct opposition to the Government and
who desires to propose terms of peace
to traitors, who openly declare they will
accept peace on no terms short Of q rccog-
milton of the Southern Confederacy.
The true Democracy are in favor oil
peace, but on such terms only as will re-
cognize the perpetuity of the Federal
Union; peace on any other terms is trea-
son.

FROM CHARLESTON.

NEw YORK. Sept. 1.-The following
are additional rebel dispatches TO those
furnished yesterday. but are no later:
CHARLEsToN. Aug. 25.--The enemy's
land batteries ba BEEN maintaining a
steady fire on Sumter all day. The fight
ing at Wagner was chiefly confined to the
firing of our pickets on the enemy's sap
pers. who continued to approach Wagner.
This evening about dark. the enemy's bat
teries opened a furious Ere on Wagner,
preparatory, as was supposed, to an as.
sault.
The following official dispatches have
just been received:
FoRT SUETER 1885 p. m.--There is an

New York. Aug, 2S.-The N. Y. Her.
AIDS Washington special says:
The first interview between Gen. Mere
dith, the recently appointed Commissionel
of Exchange. aud Mr.. Ould, Rebel Com
missioner, took place at City Point on the
23d instant. Some points in dispute were
arranged. Arrangements for the exchange
of paroled prisoners were not completed
and negotiations are still in progress
The imprisonment of John Morgan and
his officers in the Ohio Penitentiary, has
brough the rebel authorities to terms, and
it has been agreed that Col Streight and
those officers of his command who have
been 50 long similarly imprisoned. shall
be placed on the footing Of other prisoner,
of war. This will probably be responded
to by the restoration of Morgan aud his of
ficers to similar status.
