An Intercepted Fcbcl Letter.

The following letter, betr,yiny the plan
LAID Gown By the rebel General Lee for bis
funner campaign, Nas addressed to the
Hon. y. VI Lewis, wLo WIS member of
tic first rebel Congress from Georgia. The
writer, MT Welford, IA chief clerk in the
reb.l Wr5 Department.
Cox EEpEnATE Stairs sr ANEn1cA,)
WAR DEPARTMENT.,
RICHMOND, Va April, 1a.
Nj DEAR FRIEND: The reason of MT not
nnBv esing your letter On the I'd instant be-
violating the regulation Of the department.
1ndt ed, cannot give the information you
'Geefre now, without trlnsgrcs sing the ruiss:
but knowing your patriotism and discretion,
elrll venture to do SO.
Generals Lees plans are perfected. aud the
President, Secretary, and even grumb1iDg B.
arc delighted With them; and II only remains
for the departments and bureaus TO carry
out their parts Of them. Your conjecture
that the seat Of war will be transferred to the
North is correct, ant you mny depend that
this time General Lee viii 60 prepared to re-
n.ain there until the Yankees sue for peace.
The intention Is to give him one hundred and
fifty thousand men. The troops will be
Withdrawn from points of1nlnor importance,
and as Charleston and Mobile ara no longer
IN aangcr, the troops near thee points can
be spared also, SO that there will no difficulty
in giving bin the required number of men
He Las At hand more than Two thirds the
number now. and We are hurrying up others
from every direction.
Trough will be left In and around the city
to defend 1t If assailca via peninsula, and
enough to confront Meade and to keep him
North OF the North Anna, or Mt all events
North Of the South Anna, while Lee will
make flank movement and push two col
umrs northward. both Longstreet md
Stuart going with him. These, in brief, arc
the plans for the Summer Campaign, and
they will surely be carried out, unless,
Lee gets ready, and necesitates change in
the programme. Il, unfortunately, Lee should
be obliged to fail back, Beaurcgard will hare
command Of the defenses Of the city, while
Lee will with all the force that can be spar
cd, operate in conjunction, with Johnston,
and carry the war into Ohio. Thirty thon-
sand can hold the capital against all the
men the enemy can send here.
In a few days / will write to Jou again
more at length. Remember. me to Mrs. Lenis
and the girls
Truly your friend
R. B. WELLARD JR.
