A correspondent Of tho Herald, writ.
ing from the battlefield at six o'clock,
A. n, on sthe 18th, says One of our
staff officers informs me that he con-
yersed to-day with a rebel lieutenant, a
prisoner, who gave him some interest
ing facts concerning the death of Gen
eral Wadsworth. The General he saws,
lived three days after he fell into their
hands, and was very kindly treated.
He was conscious up to the hour Of his
death, and his only regret was, not that
he had fallen MORALLY wounded, but
that he should die among the enemies
Of his country, for which he had given
his life as a cheerful sacrifice.

From this, we learn that Lee had on
the 18th Of April, as appeared by the !
files in the rebel war department, over |
100000 men; and these were reinforced |
largely. He evidently expected Grant |
to try the Peninsula route, leaving a |
small force TO guard Washington, and |
thus permit him to try over the tactics
Of 1862 But Grant has foiled this nice
little scheme, after the most approved |
style; and as for the last alternative
by Lee-conjunctiOn with
Johnston-that is about as far from the
range Of possibilities, as anything the
mind of man could conceive

Jeff Davis Message.

JEFF Davis, on the ID of May, trans

all its predecessors. It is nearly devoid
of bombast, and is anything rather
than hopeful He refers to the pre-
vailing opinion that this is to be the
last year of the war
Two days after it was read, Grant
broke up camps, and started toward
Richmond; FIVE days after the series of
battles, which resulted in the complete
defeat of Lee. was commenced. We
would like TO read one of JeiFs Mesa
