If there Is anything at all In the bombas-
tic tulminations of BRouGH, or the calmer
and more weighty declarations of other
prominent leaders of the Abolition party
they point to one irresistible conclusion,
and that Is the abandonment of the tcar and
peace on the basis Of recognition Of the Coryed-
eracI and indemnitg-in the event of the
failure Of the present campaign. If this is
not what BRoUGH and his fellow schemers
mean, then we are at loss to derive any
meaning whatever from their declarations.
The campaign in Virginia is yet unde-
cided. The result is shrouded in obscurity,
and il subject to the same vicissitudes and
doubts which have in the past attended
military operations equally great and i'm
portant. We take it from the expressions
of the Abolitionists themselves, who claim
to be the peculiar supporters OF the war,
that, in the event of failure by General
GRANT, these people are preparing to favor
an immediate and disgraceful peace. All
signs portend this preparation, in the con-
tingency which may yet arrive; it is fea-
ture in the aspect of political affairs too
prominent to be overlooked; the realization
of the event is not impossible.

PREPARATIONS IN RICHMOND.

Richmond papers to the end of last week
give the Confederate version of the late
battles, with other news Of interest. Gen.
Lees telegram is given in full, as follows:
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY NORTHERN VA,l
May 8, 1864.
Hon. Secretary Of Var:
The enemy crossed the Rapidan at Ely's
and Germania fords. Two corps of this
army moved to oppose him. Ewell's by the
old turnpike, and Hills by the plank road.
They arrived this morning in close proxi-
nifty to the enemy's line of march. A
strong attack was made upon Ewell, who
repulsed it, capturing many prisoners and
four pieces of artillery. - -
The enemy subsequently concentrated
upon Gen. Hill, who, with his and Wilcox's
divisions, successfully resisted the repeated
and desperate assaults. A large force of
cavalry and artillery on our right were
driven back by Rossan's brigade. By the
blessings of God, we maintained position
against every effort until night when the
combat closed. We have to mourn the loss
of many brave officers and men.
Gallant Brig. Gen. j. NJ. Jones was killed,
and Gen. Stafford, fear, mortally wounded,
while leading his command with conspicu-
GUS valor.

The Battle of Tuesday Afternoon
Desperate Attack by the Enemy-A
Fierce Contest.

Yesterday little after 10 o'clock the
fiercest of the late battles i'm the Wilderness
opened. 1t ragged till after dark. Part OF
Burnside's Corps was on our right, with the
9Th and 9th Corps in the center, and the I'd
on the left. Our line extended along the
north bank of the PO river while that of the
rebels was Immediately on the opposite
side, including Spottsylvania. About the
middle of the afternoon our artillery show
cred shell and grape on the enemy's lines
with terrible effect, but without checking
his stubborn resistance. The enemy
brought but little artillery into action, de-
pending chiefly on infantry charges. All
the prisoners taken during the former part
of the day were from Longstreet's and Hills
corps, which gave the impression that Ew-
ell had withdrawn, but later events proved
this erroneous. Toward evening the battle
ragged all along the line, each vieing for the
vantage ground, but neither gaining it.
Generals Grant and Meade Immediately
supervised the whole action, and were fire.
quently cheered during the heaviest firing.
About dusk it was found that the enemy
was throwing heavy columns round our
right flank, with the intention of making q
desperate effort to break through our lines
during the night and capture large
amount of our supplies, which were COM
ing up. Observing this the 9th corps
charged on his right center while Burnside
moved on his right. We drove him from
his rifle pits and captured 1000 prisoners
and several guns.
Grant now retired short distance to a
new and better position, and all night our
men rested ON their arms, but the enemy
did not advance, which led to the belief
that he was severely punished, as he had a
decided advantage in the evening.
Our own losses in this days fight were
very heavy, and principally in wounded
The long marches and continued series of
battles are wearing on our men, but not
subduing their courage.

The AbOlitiOnists Preparing for n
DisgracefuI Peace.

To such doughty warriors as Governors
BRoUGH MORTON and that crop of military
geniuses, the vicissitudes of war, the acci-
dents, the trifles and the inscrutable DEGREES
of Providence by which battles are won
and lost, are as nothing in the presence of
their selEwilled infallibility. How often
have the results of battles and the fate OF
nations turned upon the merest accident,
the most trifing incidents. Had CHARLES
MARTEL hung back from the walls of Tours
asingle day, Europe had been Mahomedan;
had julius CESAR hesitated at the Rubi-
Gun, Rome would have had a different for
tune; but for the foresight and intrepidity
of private soldier, the English army at
Inkerman would have been destroyed; and
but for the answer of stupid peasant to
casual question, NAPOLEON would have won
Waterloo. But our modern heroes, who
combine military genius with executive
wisdom, recognize no such impediments to
their determinations. They have decided
that the present is the last campaign of our
civil war; they have decreed victory in adj
vance. BRoUGH limits the campaign to one
hundred days; some of our sanguine Abo-
lition cotemporaries limit the duration of
the war to the 4th of July. Gov. BRoUGH
in his stump speech proclamation says:
ssBut zoe cannot permit this uar, in its pres
eut proportions, to iinger through another yedr.
1t is laying burthen upon us which, by
vigorous and united eXertion, we must ar
arest. 1t is true economy, as we'll as the
dictate of humanity, to call to the termina-
tion Of this contest, a force that will be suf-
ficient for the purpose. Time, treasure and
blood will alike be saved in augmenting our
forces, and making the contest short and
decisive"
In his harrangue to the National Guards
atCamp Dennison, BRoUGH still more forci-
bly, alludes to the same point-that is that
the war must end in three or four months.
The Abolition press unite with the Abolition
Governors in declaring that longer con-
tinuarce Of the struggle is impossible
that the movements now in execution must
besdecisive. The pith of these declarations
have been reiterated an infinite number of
times and always by the organs Of the Abo-
lition party.
Now, the question arises, what win these
people do in the event Of the present cam
psign, like its predecessors, proving inde-
cisiye and disastrous? They may plume
themselves upon the infallibility of their
Judgment and perfect potency of their pre-
dietions but men of common sense may be
excused from relying upon vessels which
have 80 often proved weak, or confiding in
predictions which time has repeatedly
showntc be absurd. And therefore the
question forces itself upon every rejecting
mind--What win the AbolitionIsts do
should the present campaign prove disas-
trous? ~ evident that these fauatical
people have determinsd that the current
campaign shall be their last hazard. Thew
take 70 extremes BY instinct and the same
men who denounce Others as traitors for

IT is very plain that General GRANT did
not suggest that the hundred-day men
proffered by sundry Western Governors
should be called. His movements have
been made without any reference to them.
He has not availed himself of a regiment
of them to relieve garrison or defend a
locality, and his disposition of his forces
has been made without thought of their
employment. The Governors who were
so foolishly generous have been imperti-
nently officious, and are taking laborers
who are needed at home to create force
which the War Department does not know
how it will employ.

Gen. Grant During the Battle.
Correspondence N. Y. Herald.l


Gen. Grants headquarters were located
small road leading to little hamlet known
as Parker's store. During the fight, how
ever, he was principally with Gen. Meade,
whose headquarters were on piney knoll
in the rear Of Warren's corps. / had seen
Grant Mt Vicksburg and in Tennessee, and
his appearance was familiar; but as l
strolled through the group of officers re-
clining under the trees at headquarters, j
locked for him some time in vain, such was
his insignificant, unpretending aspect and
conduct while the battle was raging in all
its fury. A stranger to the insignia ofmil-
itary rank would have little dreamed that
the plain, quiet man who sat with his back
against tree, apparently needless and
unmoved, was the one upon whom the for
tunes of the day, if not of the age and
country, were hinging. 1t was only when
some aid or orderly rode up in hot haste
with communication from some portion
of the battlefield that his eyes upturned to
seek in those of the messenger the purport
of the message. The consultation with
General Meade or the direct suggestion or
command-all took place with that same
imperturbability of countenance for which
he has always been remarkable. No move
ment of the enemy seemed to puzzle or dis
concert him. Fertile in resources, the petition
for reinforcement was speedily answered.
And while all this transpired he stood calm
ly in the group, at times smoking his favor
ite segar-a more vigorous or more fire.
quent putting only indicating the inward
working of the mind. If something trans
pired which he deemed needed his personal
attention, away he darted on horseback to
the immediate scene, the one or two of his
aids and an orderly exerting their utmost
to keep up with him. Arrived on the spot,
he calmly considered the matter requiring
his attention, with ready Judgment commu-
nicated the necessary orders, and then gal
loped away to another part of the field, or
to his seat beneath the pine tree, there to
enter on the order book some record of the
battles progress. 1t was amusing again al
times to see nim-the Commander-in-C CHIEF
-whittling away with his knife upon the
bark of tree, pausing now and then to
throw in a word or sentence in the conver-
sation of those grouped about, and then GO
ing to work again with renewed vigor up
on the incision of the pine. The contem-
plation of this by those who were with him
at Vicksburg will recall an incident of q
similar character in that memorable siege
When the columbiads were mounted in front
of Logan's line Gen. Grant was desirous Of
guperintending the operations. During the
preliminary work of cutting the embra-
sures he mounted the epaulement, and

him, deliberately whitfield rail until the
