Efem " ashingtOn.

WASHINGTON, March At is assigned
as reason for unexpected alertness Of the
rebels IN preparing TO repel Gen Kilpat-
rick. that the destruction of the telegraph
and track of the Virginia Central railroad
was announced in Richmond by Gen. Lee
Immediately after the occurrence, over the
telegraph lines between Richmond, lynch
burg and Gordonsviile. This seems highly
probable from the fact that the expedition
passed through Averills pickets and be-
yond his rear without n skirmish, and was
met at some distance from Richmond by
a formidable force of mounted infantry.
i special to the Times says Gen. Meade
has been summoned here by the President
to answer charges preferred against him
by Generals Sickles and Doubledav before
the committee on the conduct of the war
The matter IS assuming rather a serious
aspect
Secretary Chase, in a communication to
the committee says that in order to bring
the revenue up to the amount estimated
in his report, it viii be absolutely neees-
sary to largely increase the tax on several
articles specified lie recommends tax
OF one dollar gallon on spirits on leaf
and manufactured tobacco 90 cents per
pound on petroleum, crude, ID cents,

The Worlds dispatch says that it is un-
derstood that Gen IIalleck will retain his
present position, and Grant remain in the
field

STRUGGLING FOR LIFE.

\ Republican journal in New York admits that
the struggle is becoming struggle for life on the
part OF the United States as well as this country.
1t is true the United States are not invaded,
and the Confederacy asks to be let alone. But we
need not to invade the United States strike the
sources of its life. We have only to make sue
cessful stand here, on our own soil, and the huge
fabric OF the Yankee superstructure tumbles to
the ground. 1t is upon the products of our soil
that that fabric has been built and as long as We
hold that soil, it is only question Of time when
the end shall come. The gigantic expenditure of
treasure, energy, and blood, made by the North,
sufficiently attests the value it puts upon Southern
productions. It's present prospertyis felt by its
leading statesmen 10 be Fictitious and ephemeral-

ralding decay and death. One more great convul-
sve effort, like the whale in its final agony and the
huge carcase Of Yankeedom will float helpless on
the elements it hos So often dashed into foam
There is not single depart ment of industry in
the North which does not look upon the success of
the Confederacy as death to all its interests Pol
itcians, soldiers, sailors, bankers traders, impor-
tiers, coastng men, carriage makers, taiors, shoe
makers, fishermen, s1ipbuilders, and all the me-

vanity, too which has so often dreamed of univer-

exalted itself to Heaven, begins to fear that it will
be cast down to He'll
Yes, it is struggle for life; but not altogether
in the sense that the North regards it The North
is in reality struggling to put itself to DEATH to
perish inevitably and ANONYMOUSLY by its own
hands, to render impossible any resurrection. to

prospect of such reconciliation between the two
