PROBABLE REBEL MOVEMENTS.
News from the front seems to indicate that
-obe character Of the Rebel movement North Is muoh
%pore formidable than mere raid. Lee has iei'
Jesurerard with his immediate command TO garrison
sae efenses Of PETERSBURG and is moving TO some ponf
upon the Potomac with mis- entire army either Tor He
nrpo4s OF moving his columns through the richer or
ton. Of Pennsylvania t. again attempt the capture
Of Washington whateyer course the Rebel chief |
Gain determines to pursae. lie will find Gen.
Grant with lis veterans on baud 10 meet him.
Taking all the events Of tie past Two months into con-
alteration Il would that the Rebel leaders have
GONE to the conclusion that with Grant knocking az
CHER front door and Sherman pounding away at the
back. unless geS move is made the tottering
walls OF the Southern Confederacy would soon come
down with crash. Hence demonstration in force
upon the national capital or grand raid upon the
NORTH something to rsasure the South. and 70 oonst
sue fresh bid for foreign interference. AS the my
have once tried tie forfc Of Washington TO their
satsfactiou the opinion seems to prevail that be viii
sry the other horn Of TIE dilemma and sweep into the
lower counties Of Pennsylvania.
