THE NEWS.
DEsERTERs COMING IN

The Lynchburg Republican learns from gentle
man from Amherst that numbers of deseTters have
come in and surrendered themselves TO the Enrolling
officer of that county, claiming the benefit of Gen.
Lees amnesty order. Men who have been absent
from duty for months have THUS been returned to
the army and We doubt not will by future good
duct wipe ont the disgrace that has attached to their
names.
FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC"
The special correspondent of the Philadelphia
hg uiyer, in letter dated Front of Petersburg,
Sunday morning, =" says That the rains have made
the roads one vast bog, and that any movement OF
either army would, at present, be impossible.
.'Rumors current in camp that Petersburg
was to be evacuated at al early day. Lees move
ments, however, are still shgouded in mystery. 1t
is known that the Rebel prisoners We have been
changing are hurried to Beauregard duty at once
They 60 cheerfuly and without furloughs being told
by Gen. Lee, who makes frequent speeches, that
all there is TO do now is TO destroy Sherman and
their independence is gained.
at is generally believed in Richmond that Davis
aud Lee will compel the Rebel Senate to grant them
the power to couscript all the slaves in the South
AMI that they will at once commence recruiting
them.
..The estimates OF Gen. Lees strength made from
the best authority, give hun from sixty thousand 10
seventy five thousand men, OF which 1t is supposed
he has sent South to help Beam egard, from ten
thousand 10 fifteen thousand. 1t is not conside, ed
probable in military circles that troops would be
sent North to Join Lee, they would not be sufii
cient to enable him to attack Grant with any pros
pect OF success, aud their only nope is 10 impede
and harrass Sherman ia his march northward, whose
movements far have been completely enyel-
oped by his cavalry that they do not know within 4
hundred miles of where lac will strike, next, and.
consequently, have been unable To concentrate ON
his front"
FROM PETERSBURG.
The Express ofyesterday says, We have no change
to note in the military situation around this civ
Comp arative quiet reigned throughout the whole
extent Of our lines yesterday, and even in the vi
entity OF nc anticipated scene Of hostilites but
little actual hostility is apparent. The opposing
armies are completely ud-bound-unabe to move
able only to watch each other.
The Express adds, that operations will commence
at an early day, no one can doubt. They would
have commenced ere now but for the Intervention
of the rain.
The usual artillery practice on our left has bee
discontinued during the last two days.
