The rebels generally express the opinion
that Gen. Grant don't know when he ls
whipped. They think that Gen. Meade would
have discovered that he was whipped the nrst
day Of the fight in the Wilderness, but they be-
lieve that Gen. Lee was very much surprised
when he discovered that Gen. Grant did not
acknowledge himself whipped by retreating
acress the Rapidan!
They concede that Gen. Grant has oyerpow.
ering numbers. They believe that Gen. Lee
may be overpowered, but say that II will have
to be done by continuous fighting, as there will
be no yielding on the part of the rebels.
They assert, also, that 1t is useless for US to
talk about the rebel army starving. They all
ASSERT that they have enough to cat. The people
may be starving but the army is not.
The impression Is obtained, after converting
with them all, that they are heartsick Of

have taken to fight Its battles.
