10 WILMINGTON TO BE1ATTACKED
The impression ssems q prevail in offs
cial circles al Richmond. thai Wilmington
is to be attacked soon. The Whig Of Sa-
turday says:
Signs sfa winter csmpaiga en- the coasts
Of North and South Carolina increase. and
the deep-l -lafd plot which began With Grants
retreat from Rinsgold develops itself ra-
pidly. The Yankee preparations are SO
nearly complete that We may look for the
first blow within week Or two. Charles
ton and Savannah are both menaced hut
the opinisn that Wilmington is to be the
point of the maia attack gains strength dai-
". The President and the WariDepart-
ment are net asleep. They knew that the
enemy's feet is nov large enough and
enough Of his troops idle to enable them TO
make combined Simultaneous attack On
the three points named. Many men and
great vigilance will be required to ensure
the defeat Of all the assaults. 1t is.no se-
cret that ptSper dispositions have been de-
cidvd upon. This matter was, no doubt,
fully DISCUSSED whsn Gen. Lee was in the
city. . ta4 aw sff 8a
Wilmington is Of sPecialinterestt to both
parties. 1t is the snly port Of any impor-
lance left us, as the enemy is well aware.
His blockading feet has been largeiyVin-
creased, and imports are becoming Of rare
occurrence. but the peeuliar approaches
are such as to forbid hope of q complete
stoppage of blockade rsnaiag. save by the
capture of the city. This has been def.
nitelg agreed apsn by the Cabinet AT WASH
ington, and already the Premonitory svmpi
toms are visible. II 10 believed that Bat
Ter had concentrated 400 men at Wash
ington, N. c.. aRd ne lsnger than Sunday

fleet. numbering now twenty-six sail, a.
waits only the arrival Of the Dunderbarg
and ether iron ciads and additional men to
csmneuce operations. IL Wilniagtsn is
taken. Charlestoa falls by an attack in the
rear. tftea
Fortunately we have an able and vigi-
lant General in command a Wilmington.
We take il for granted that the President
has listened to his Suggestions and that
fsrcss auply sufficient to held the place
are in position ready 70 be concentrated at
moments warning. Past experience has
taught the Executive inst-to repeat the de-
bays which cost rs New Orleans, DsnelsOn.
Roanoke Island and ether places. A dila-
tory course now would bring down spon
him the unanimous condemnation of the
people. Cos6dent that he will do his
whole duty in the approaching crisis. We
await the attack On Wilmington. Chasles-
ten aad Savannah with frmness and hope.

,Richufond, Jan. 4.-The aonmittee on
Military Affairs reported bill on the sub
ject Of exemption. Of which the followin 9
is copy:
GA bill to be entitled an Act repeating
existing and regulating future exemptisns
from military service: The Congress Of
the Confederate States do enact, that from
and after the passage Of this bill. all Acts
and parts of Acts exempting persons from
military service, be, and the same ara here
by repealed, except so far as they relate
to officers of the Confederate and State
Governments, and hereafter no other per-
sons shall be exempt from such service.
than the following. to wit: All who shall
be held unfit for military service under
rules TO be prescribed by the Secretary Of
War, and snch ether persons as the said
Secretary, with the approval Of the Presi
dent, NAV deem ii expediest to exempt in
view Of the fact. which must be satisfacto-
rilly established, that such perssns can.
by their skill, labor, occupation or employ
meBt, better subserve the vital interests of
The country and contribute mere substsn-
tally to its defence outside Of the army
than in the ranks: PrsUided, that even in
such cases absolute exemptions from mill
tary service shal! not be granted, il in the
opinion Of the Secretary Of War the same
end can be attained By regularly enrolling
and detailing for specific terms and stated
purposes, those whose skill, labor, occupa-
tisn or employment may make their servi-
ces more valuable out of than in the actual
ranks Of the army.
