REBEL PLANS FOR fHr CAMPAIGN OF 1864.

Ny information in regard TO the military plans
of the Confederates for the campaigns of 1864.
corresponds in the main with the facts recently
stated by your Washington correspondent; and
this is worthy Of remark. for our sources of in
formation must be widely different. All that l
can learn, leads me to believe that the approach

marked by great boldness and audacity.

Giles Davis, but the full time had not come fol
him to see 'tafter many days." the wealth Of il;
promise.
Upon one of those stormy days you and
have seen in March came order for ship tim
ber, which Brent must attend to himself. All
day long he staid out in that drenching and chill
ing storm. That night his walk home seemed
longer than usual-the house colder-the ma
tronly housekeeper Efcrusty." His nighe visions
were sad ones; his dreams more like spiritual
visitations than like visions that we love to think
liRger around us in our sleeping moments.
The next day at his office passed sadly and
drearily, antil it grew nearly night, when heart
aud flesh failed him, and he fell fainting to the
floor. Tn the hour of excitement that follow
ed, Giles Davis stepped into the position of
counsellor and nurse. Every one in and around
the office gladly fol lowed his directions or ask
ed his advice. He it was who they all agreed
should support Brent home and stay with hi m.
During the illness of many weeks that followed
his rash exposure, Giles strong arm was that
one on which the good old housekeeper leaned
for help and guidance. The quiet little woman
was brought from her humble home to the gran
der one Of her husbands employer, to assist in
the duties Of nurse
The sick man whose friends with the exeep-
tion of an invalid aunt who lived with her
daughter in Maine,) had all gone to the spirit
land, looked, in moments of. consciousness, the
gratitude he coull not speak, every day, as

Porter, and report favorable to his employer.

old place in the lumber yard. But the strong

under God, he owed his after prosperity to the
''charity hand" During the summer evenings,
when his bachelor home grew silent, he would
think, with lingering regret, OF pleasanter
one in 4 quiet street, and devise some plan to
insure that one as a part Of his own. Ii was
not until Christmas that his plan was perfect
ed. Then, when the other hands received a
slip of paper with ''Merry Christmas writ
ten on it, and dollar note pinned, Giles re-
ceived a little package, and opening II in his
pleasant home, found it contained the gift of
one-fourth interest in the lumber yard, provi-
ded Mrs Davis would con7eHt ~ occupy tile
husband, Hamilton Brent and her old friends
the matronly housekceper and her son. Mrs.
Davis was not unreasonable. She went carry

ADDRESS.

10 the Democratic Citizens of Pennsylvania:
have but waited the tardy movements of
our public authorities in collecting the result Of
the election held on the 9th nit, in order to
discharge the incumbent duty Of calling your
attention to the means by which majority Of
20,0o1 votes las I now learn from official cir
clesl has been recorded against as. This ma
iority is made up from all the votes stated to
ding those by proxy, and all those given in the
armies negro votes and all--in every form Of
returns lawful and otherwise.
There have been at least two paipable forms
of fraud pyactioed by the supporters Of Abra-
ham lincoln, in order to make up :his majori-
ty, and thus secure him the electoral vote of
! the State Fictitious ballots have been placed
in the ballot-boxes, answering 10 false registrics
the same as has been repeatedly proven to have
been the case in our elections heretofore; and,
secondly, the sufrages of the volunteer sol
/ diers have nos only been overawcd and per
vartcd by corrupt partisan officials, but the re-
turns themselves, in many cases, have been
! tampered with and transformed. In reference
| to fictitious votes, who believes that the city
Of Philadelphia has to-day, or ever had. 3d.

The late attempt to exercise the right of suf-
frage on the part OF the volunteer soldiers, has
proved a signal faiIure-FARcE / would call it,

The doubts entertained by many as to the wis
dom and propriety OF this measure, prior to It's
adoption, would seem to have been fully reali-
zed
! 1t is impossible ever to secure 6 fair and full
distribution of tickets, so as to allow a free
choice to the voters in the army service. The
expenses of the attempts made to do so, are al
most beyond belief. On the part of State,
they will reach at least $50, 900; and the two
political organizations expended fully as much
more. The system will always be liable to
great abuses, and must ever be unequal in its
operation, and unfair in its results.
Certain it is, that the privilege Of voting
given to the soldier is mochery, when the
very man against whom perhaps, he would like
to vote, has the most despotic control over thos;
who rule that soldiers every movement, and
could send him at a word to the front of bat.
