Plan Of Lees Campaign..-An In.
tercepted Rebel Letter.


The following letter, betraying the plan laid
down by the rebel General LEE for his summer
campaign, was addressed to the Hon. D. w.
LEWIS, who was member of the first rebel
Congress from Georgia. The writer, Mr..
WEXFORD, is chief clerk of the rebel War
Department:

WAR DEPARTMENT, =
RICHMOND, Va, April 10. J
MY DEAR FRIEND: The reason of my not
answering your letter of the I'd inst. before is,
that could not do SO without violating the
regulations of the Department. Indeed, I can
not give the information you desire now, with
out transgressing the rules; but knowing
your patriotism and discretion shall venture
to do so. 2n
General Lees plans are perfected, and the
President, Secretary, and even grumbling B.
are delighted with them and it only remains
for the departments and bureaus to carry out
their parts of them. Your conjecture that the
seat of war will be transferred to the North is
correct. and you may depend this time General
Lee will go prepared to remain there till the
Yankees sue for peace. The intention is to
give him one hundred and fifty thousand men,
The troops will be withdrawn from points of
minor importance, and as Charleston and Mo-
bile are no longer in danger, the troops near
those points can be spared ALSO so that there
will be no difficulty in giving him the required
number of men. He has at hand more than
two-thirds the number now, and we are hurry
ing up others from every direction.
Enough will be left in and around the city to
defend it if assailed via the Peninsula, and
enough to confront Meade and keep him north
of the North Anna, while Lee will make
flank movement and push two columns north
ward, both Longstreet and Stuart going with
him. These, in brief, are the plans for the
summer campaign, and they will surely be car
ried out, unless, unfortunately, the enemy ad-
vances before Lee gets ready, and necessitates
a change in the programme. If, unfortunately,
Lee should be obliged to fall back, Beauregard
will have command of the defences OF the CITY.
while Lee will, with all the force that can be
spared, operate in conjunction with Johnston,
and carry the war into Ohio. Thirty thousand
can hold the capital against all the men the en-
envy can send here.
In few days will write You again more
atiength. Remember me to Mrs. Lewis and
the girls.
Truly your friend,
B. r. WEXFORD, Jr.
