territorial integrity Of the Union and the
supremacy of its Fundamental laws and
au open declaration that hereafter il shall
be waged Tor the destruction Of slavery.
His policy has long tended in this direc.

officer Of high military rank in the Army
Of the Potomac. who has had opportuni-
ties for frequent conversation with deser-
tens from the rebels. He does not believe
any part Of Lees army has been sent out
Of Virginia.
He does believe there has been fight
among the rebels on the south side Of the
kapidan that there is general diatrust
Of the fidelity of rebel pickess; that the
soldiers 10 Lees army are anxious TO
grasp. 1t the earliest possible period, the
olive branch Of peace held out to them
BY the Amnesty Proclamation, take
the oath Of allegiance, and become again
good citizens; that there is actual desti.
tuition in the rebel army; that the sup
ply Of rations is extremely short, and it is
with the greatest difficulty enough reach
es the army to make even the email daily
issue that is furnished supply. Forage
is so short that cavalry horses ere cared
for very tenderly, and nearly al picketing
is done BY rebel infantry, the object be-
ing to keep their horses in condition for
service when the spring campaign opens.

tempting to eight their way out Of the

Unfortunately they did not succeed,
though they made brilliant attack upon

reach here shortly by which some idea
may be formed of the loss on both sides.
From % to 40 deserters come into the

standing four skirmish lines have been
thrown out by the rebels to prevent it.
