49,
nov Gen. Lee keeps mp the Spirits Of
his Soldiers.
Gen. Lee has recently illustrated the
AIunchausen character Of the "ehivalry"
who are to-day engaged in the work Of
overthrowing the government Having
been driven from the Wilderness TO the
Pc, q distance Of ten miles, he saw that
his troops were discouraged, and he
therefore endeavored to reanimate
them by proclamation, Of which the
following are a few extracts
First The General commanding takes
great pleasure in announcing to the
army the series of successes that, by the
favor Of God, have recently been achiev-
ed by our arms
Second. A part Of the enemy's force,
threatening the Valley of Virginia, has
been routed by General Imboden, and
driven back to the Potomac, with the
loss Of their train and number Of pris-
oners.
Third. Another body Of the enemy,
under General Averill, penetrated to the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad at
Dublin depot A portion of his force
has been dispersed by Generals Morgan
and w E. Jones, who are in persuit Of
the remainder
The assertion that Crook and Averill
had been beaten, and driven back, is as
barefaced a falsehood, as could have
been uttered. We saw ourselves, in
Cincinnatia number Of the rebel prison
ers captured by these expeditions, and
all concur in the statement that Jones,
Morgan, and Jenkins were not only
beaten, but routed, in every encounter.
We captured, in all, from 500 to GOO
prisoners, and Il cannon Among the
prisoners were Gen. Jenkins, and sever
al other high officers. Our forces pen
etrated Virginia, as far as ordered, de-
stroyed the railroad, as directed, and
returned in triumph. This Gen. Lee
knew, when he issued the address;
but he wished to inspire his men, and
he resorted 10 this method of doing it.
Again he says
Fifth The expedition of General
Steele into Western Arkansas, has end
ended in a complete disaster. North
ern journals of the 10th inst announce
his surrender, with an army Of nine
thousand men, to Gen Price
No Northern paper ever announced
the capture of Gen. Steele. An extract
taken from Southern papers, stating
that he had surrendered, was published;
but this was three days after the an
nouncement Of his arrival at Little
Rock in safety. Even the vilest cop
perhead sheets did not give credit to
the rumor Of his surrender. Gen. Lee
knew this fact, too; and in making the
assertion he did, he deliberately told
falsehood.

The Hopes of The Rebels in 1860 81.


The rebels, when they resolved TO re-
sist the legitirnately constituted autho-
rites, had little conception OF the mag
nitude Of the task before them. They
believed the Northern people divided /;
they thought them towards, too; and
did not fear war; or even if war
should come, could not one of the chiy-
airy whip fee Of the mudsillsP
But they not only expected peacea-
bic secession, but they believed that
several Of the Northern States would
Join the new Confederacy. A few pro
tested against this, as the chivalry could
not afford to associate with the small
farmers Of the North; but the majority
said Do we not need hewers Of wood,
and drawers Of water2 The people Of
the Northern States are the men for
that; the men to do honor to US, by
serving us.
Negotiations were therefore entered
into with prominent Northern politi-
cians; and many Of these responded
fayorably. In reply to letter, asking
what position New Jersey would take,
ex-Gov. Price, of that State, told his
querest that he believed the Southern
Confederacy a permanency. THE pro-
ceeding," he added, has been taken
with forethought and deliberation--it
is no hurried impulse, but an irrevoca-
bic act, based upon the sacred, as was
supposed, equality of the States and
in my opinion every slave State will in
a short period of time be found United
in one Confederacy .... Before that event
happens we cannot act, however much
we may suffer in our material interests.
1t IS in that contingency, then, that 1
answer the second part Of your ques-
tion-What position for New Jersey
will best accord with her interests, hon
or, and the patriotic instincts of her
people9 say emphatically she would
90 with the South from every wise, pru,
Dental, and patriotic reason" Ex-Gov
Price proceeds to say that he is CON
fident that the States Of Pennsylvania
and New York will "choose also to cast
their lots with the South, and after
them the Western and Northwestern
States.
Proceeding upon this assumption, the
secessionists grew holder They cor
responded with different parties they
made no secret Of their hopes and in
tsntions-fears they had none. They
wanted no compromise nothing would
satisfy them, short of dissolution of
the Union, and slaveholding Confed-
eracy, Of which every prominent man
expected to be President
Men holding official position under
the Government, while plotting its de-
struetion; were negotiating with ex-
officers from the free States, who had
been repudiated by their constituents,
and hoped 70 regain place through
treason. To show the extent to which
this was carried on, we copy the follow
ing letter, recently found in Fredericks-
burg, Va, having been written TO the
editor Of the News, published at that
place:

LETTER FROM THE REBEL
VICE PRESlDENT.
He Desires Heartily and Earnestly

From the Richmond Dispatch, &c tober 81

From the Richmond Dispatch, October 81.
The letter from Vice President Stephens
to William King, the messenger from Gen.
Sherman, with propositions to me- otiate
is published. The invitation was for the
Vice Presindent to meet the Yankees at
Atlanta After expressing his anxiety to
promote the termination Of this 'fratrici-
dial war;" Mr.. Stephens says:
But, in the present instance, the entire alb
sence Of any power on my part to enter into
any such negotiations, and the like absence OF
any such power on his part, so far as appears
from his message, necessarily precludes my ac-
ceptance of the invitation thus rendered. In
communicating this to Gen. Sherman r you may
also say to him, that if he Is OF opinion that
