PREPARATIONS At WILMINGTON FOE AN At.
TACK FROM OUR F1EET-NoS coABATAa1s
REQUIRED TO LEAVE.
From the Wilmington journal, Oct. al
What has bfen sc long threatened and 80
much talked about seems to have come at
Inst. The long deferred attack on Whining
ton would appear to be at hand. We have
eeiyed, that m attack is imminent-may be
looked for any day. The feet ls assembling
both at Fortress Monroe and Beaufort Har-
Such information ia regarded IS authentic
by military authorities, and they are extreme
1y apxious, and, Indeed, positively desire.
that all non conbstants, and especially Wo.
men and chilcren should be removed before
an attack actually ooss take place. This is
desired for their own sakeB, and for the fur.
ther reason that their presence would mecca
satlly have the effect Of embarrassing this de-
terce- It i8 expected that all the men who
remain will bear their full part In defending
their homes and In repellipg the invaders of
our soil. Those who do not make up their
minds to do what they can in defense Of their
homes are expected to leave, as We presume
lille sympathy or favor will be shown any
portion OF the male population who remain
here, and who do moi array themselves in de-
teBse OF the place. Ih0ee properly claseed
as noD-comhatant8, who intend to remove in
CAGE Of an attack, had better do SO before the
pressure Of an actual attack ls felt, as then
tht difficulty ct removal mar, and probably
will be, insurmountable. :.
REBEL COLUMN TO ASSAULT ATLANTA

From the Charleston Mercury, Oct. al
For the last few days the Macon p1pers
hare BEEN buaEtfully limiting at an important
movement that Was abont to take plnce in
Georgia. Among the rest the Iasaltgencrr be-
came 50 jubilapr that we almost expected to
zee our old nelghbor start for Atlanta at once.
The article In that journal indicated plainly
enough In what direction this movement
would be made;- but in the Macon curre-

OPINION OF SOUTHERN RECONSTRUCTION
PAPER
(From the kaletgh standa.d.J
These resolutions breatha nothing but the
most ultra war spirit We are not disap-
pectsd:. These Govtrno1s, cooperating as
dependents or auxiliaries with the central
Government at Richmond, seem determined
to accept no compromise, but to prosecute
the war to annihilation or, at least. at the
lowest point Of exhaustion and ruin.
