Chattanooga, Tenn, May 10, 1864.
DEAR HuDRETH We are not to
have much fighting here at present.
johnson has evacuated Dalton going
towards Rome. His force is various
ly estimated at from IS, 900 to GO, 900.
The first number is probably more
nearly correct. While the army of
the Cumberland was in front, and
Scofeld coming up on the rebel right,
Gen. Mcpherson made forced march
through Snycker's Gap. johnson at
once abandoned his position. and be-
gun his retreat with the greyhound,
Sherman, close ut his heels. Rebel
stragglers are constantly coming in.
A large portion of one Georgia regi-
ment gave themselves up to our pick
cts, near Buzzard's Roost. They were
brought here today. Among them
was one Major, and his wife who re-
fused to be parted from her liege lord.
She was a fine, intelligent looking wo.
man, but one of the strongest kind of
rebels.
One cannot but give pity towards
the poor deceived devils who are COM
ing to their senses and are heartily
repenting of their folly. They are Of
the very lowest order of whites, supe-
rior to their niggers only in color,
and even on this point some questions
might be raised. .
We are expecting soon TO remove
Headquarters to Dalton. A train Of
wounded went down 10 Nashville this
afternoon. They have very easy cars
for the wounded to ride in. Passen-

Lee will be very likely to take Washington; and

WHAT ENCOURAGES THE REBELS TO FORM THESE
PLANS OF INVASION.
The thing which gives the rebel leaders more
confidence than anything else in their ability to
carry out their plans successfully is the convic-
ton which they entertain Of the fact that Mr.
Lincoln's policy Of scattering the available mill
tary forces of the North in multitude of de-
tacbed and distant expeditions, will be continued
this year. They are not ignorant OF the fact that
the North will have seven hundred thousand
troops. But they look at the large numbers OF
these that are and will be engaged in wild-goose
Red River expeditions; in Burnside expeditions;
in carrying on the siege Of Charleston; in roam
ing over Arkansas, Missouri, and the Indian Ter
ritory; in CARRYING elections and fighting Copper.

WHAT THE REBLEs EXPECT
| am able az length 10 present 10 you the full
development of the rebel plans for the spring and
summer campaign, both ia the East and at the
West, which plans will be executed simultane-
ously and in concert, If possible
No one at Richmond processes to have OWNED
what the plans Of General Grant are Tor the
spring and summer campaigns. The fact that
he lies still and ''makes sign causes them
considerable annoyance. They are consoled,
however. by the conviction that, whatever may
be his plans. they will be rendered abortive by
the interference of the President. On two points,
however, they are tOlerably clear They feel
certain that Gen. Grant will concentrate all the
force in his power on two objects: First, the
capture Of Richmond, and second, movement
on Atlantis. They think IL may be possible that
General Meade's army may be augmented to one
hundred and fifty thousand men, aud that twenty.
FIVE thousand troops in General Buffers depart
ment, but not under General Butler, will CO.
operate in the movement on Richmond, as that
city may be threatened with fully one hun
dred and seventy-fve thousand troops.r They
think also that General Shermans forces at
Chattanooga may possibly be raised TO one
hundred and fifty thousand troops by the addi-
ton of the Union troops in East Tennessee. But
shsr do not intend To- wait to be attacked. either
in Virginia in the West, by armies of that
magnitude
PLAN FOR THE CONFEDERATE OPERATIONS IN THE
WEST.
The manner in which our army was defeated at
Dalton. ia its recent attempt to drive the rebels
from that point. proves the ease with which a
comparatively small body Of troops can hold the
line defending Atlanta against large hostile
force. When our army advanced against Dalton
il WAS confidently expected that the place would
be carried, and the rebels driven from it. But
the very reverse took place: and the attack. vel!
planned and brilliantly executed rs it was, ouy
revealed the great strength Of the enemy's po-
~ition. IL was then only that il was called
reconnaissance, as all of our defeats have been
called. FROM Big Bethel, Bull Run and Belmont

DESCRIPTION on THE DEFENSIVE LINES covERIsG
But the strong position at Dalton, and the reb

obstacles that will be encountered by our army
