valuable Yankee schooners and the cap
ture Of a large amount of valuables. The
parties proceeded down one of the riv-
ers e,nptying into Albemarle Sound

JUDGEa BALDWIN.--1t having been in
timated, says the Richmond Dispatch,
that Judge J. G. Bawldwin, of Califor-
MIA, (author of the Flush Times,) has
identified himself with the enemies of
his native Virginia, we are glad to hear
from one of his relations a flat contra
diction of the charge. A gentleman
who recently saw Judge Baldwin in the
Island of Bermuda states that, true to
his native instincts and political antece-
dents, the South has no more ardent
friend. Whilst in Washington he APP
piled to Lincoln for permission to visit
his friends in the South, but was refused.
We are glad to hear that Judge B. has
acquired a comfortable fortune and in
tends soon to retire from the bar and de-
vote himself entirely to literary pursuits.

GRANTS PROGRAMME.

The Lynchburg Republican learns
from gentleman who recently came
ont of the Yankee lines, By way of
Harper's Ferry, that the Yankees
were making themselves particularly
jubilant over their fancied prospect Of
"wiping OUT the rebellion by early
Summer. Their "man on horseback
was to do the job inthe next ninety days
and there was not grease spot OF reb-
eldom to be left.
The programme by which this herculean
task is to be accomplished was freely
discussed by all classes of the people
North, and is in substances as follows !:
Grant, with the main body of the Y an
kee army is to advance on Lee and COB
bic him up; Burnside, with a corps
d'a1maee of &c, 900 or 10000 men is to
come up the Southside of James river
ard cut the rebel communications with
the South, and Butler, with column 49,
/ 900 or 80, 900 strong is to take the PENN
sula route. All three of these columns
are to meet in Richmond, and the grid
irod flag is to float from the dome of
the Confederate Capitol by the 1st of
June.
While these operations are going ON,
Sherman is to press Johnston at Dalton,
and Longstreet is to have his hands full
in East Tennessee, by keeping up a
show of force. As soon as Lee is dis
posed OF, Johnston will receive a polite
8a1aaus from Grant in the rear, and
then-why then, the rebellion will be
dead and buried and none will be so
poor as to do it reverence.
A right pretty programme on paper
truly, but we have seen ga man on
horse back" lying in the mud before TO-
day, land we have a sort OF presentiment
that when Grant runs against Gen Lee,
he will be in the same predicament
that Pope was once that is, he won't
know his headquarters from his hind
quarters.
