The Trarelcr's Washington correspondent

The Trdreller's Washington correspondent
says;
Those sanguine persons who expect that
Gen. Grant will fight Lee at once will be
disappointed He will take his time. and
venture the prediction that no general en-
gagement will take place between the two
great armies which confront each other in
Virginia before the first DAY Of May and it
would not surprise Inc if the great battle
were postponed to a still later date. Gen.
Grant is bold, quick General, but he is not
a fool. He will prepare himself for the next
great encounter with the enemy. understand
ing very well the immense magnitude Of the
interests at stake. For him to lose a great
battle in Virginia in May would be a terri
bic disaster.

NORTHERN CITIES TO BE BURNED.-The ma

the rebels is strikingly illustrated IN a recent
proposition of the Richmond Whig. which.
confessing that the ordinary modes Of ciyiliz-
ed warfare are insufficient to accomplish the
ruin of the North, advocates the burning Of
Northern cities by hired incendaries. Here
is the diabOlical proposition
1--WE may not, it is true, be able to send a
raiding party to dash into Philadelphia or New
York to do the work; nor have we artillery that
will carry Greek fire far enough to reach them
but We have that which will 90 further than
horsemen can ride, and will penetrate what the
mightiest artillery would make no impression on
we have money. \ million of dollars would
lay in ashes New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Pittsburg, Washington and all their
chief cities, and the men to do the business NAV
be picked up by the hundred in the streets of
those very cities. fit should be thought unsafe
to use them there are daring men in Canada, of
Morgan's and other commands, who have es-
capped from Yankee dungeons, and who would
rejoice at an opportunity of doing something
that would make all Nankeedom howl with an
guish and CONSERVATION
That what We are saying may he given a still
more practical turn, We will add that We know
and have talked with mana well known Off
Ger IN the army, and every way competent and
ht-lcho IS ready and anxious at once 10 pro-
coed TO Canada on this business"
The Mag further says that if the rebel
government declines to adopt the scheme, it
gan as loeH be ezecUted By prirGte enterprise
as By the direction or eOaRrdnoe of the au-
thoTTfies."
