HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF THE L. S,

Maj. Gen. Weitzel, Richmond, Va:
1t has been minated to me that gentlemen
who have acted as the legislature of Virginia in
support of the rebellion may now desire to assem-.
bic at Richmond, and take measures to withdraw
the Virginia troops and other support from resis-
lance to the general government.
Ifthey attempt it, give them permission and
protection until, if at all, they attempt some
action hostile to the United States in which case
you will notify them, givi G them reasonable
time to leave, and at the end of which time arrest
any who remain. Allow Judge Campbell to see
this, but do not make it public.
Yours, &C.,

A Prediction Fulfilled.
TELEGRAPH OFFICE.
Rock ISLAND, June 18th 1865.

Rock ISLAND, June 18th 1865.
COL DANFoRTH-Dear Sir When l took
charge of this telegraph Office, in December
of last year, found the following extract
from a Virginia newspaper, pasted on its
walls
GA soldier OF the LIST Pennsylvania cavalry in the
Potomac army was a sholt time since found asleep
near Warrenton, V a., having slept "a hours. Up
recovering consciousness, after shaking off the
lethary of Sommus he stepped up TO his captain
and said: 'sCsptain / DIE MORROW AT o.
CLOCK and the war will end in JUNE 1865" AS
the clock struck on the following day, he died
without groan."
SuperstitiOus people may find, in this, a
confirmation of their theories-but whether
they do or not, the old extract still sticks on
the wall in this Office, where it was pasted
long ago, and the prediction has been most
remarkably fulfilled. Yours truly,
GEO. III. BRIGGs,
Tel. Operator.

Gen scott at West Point-A Visit to Him.
West Point (June p Correspondence of the New
York Express
An incident of peculiar interest occurred here
to day, in connection with this illustrious mill
tary chief, which will he long remembered by all
present. The board of visitors of the military ac-
ademy, now in attendance, under the lead of
their president, Gen. Schenck, called in body
upon Gen. Scott, at his cottage residence on th c
river. They were welcomed with great cordial
ity by the general, who appeared unusually affec.
ted by this prompt evidence of respect by the
board, and expressed more than once HE appreci-
alton of the act. The many admirers of this
great man will be grat6ed to know that, with ex.
ception of the inevitable traces of advancing age
which pass upon all after certain period OF life.
Gen. Scott is physically better than he was a
year ago. His conversational powers and men,
DRY of persons and events are remark ably preser-
we'd for one OF his years, and he entertained his
guests with the urbanity aud intelligent courtesy
for which he has been so long distinguished. He
expressed himself much pleased at meeting the
members of the board, and especially those from
the state lately in rebellion, Georgia, Alabama
North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and
Virginia being represented in that body. After
a brief but delightful interview, Gen. Schenck
and his colleagues rose to leave, urging rest
upon the general, as he had already paid visit
to Gov. Hamilton Fish, across the Hudson, and
was seriously fatigued. All went away gratifed
at having seen once more the soldier who, in
former years, had so often led our armies to vic
tory, and was only prevented by his advanced

In relation to these reports the y. Y. World
says
The rumors of Stanton's resignation are false
to this extent. He will not leave the cabinet in
any case till he is compelled to, and he will do
his best not to until he has examined the rebel
archives and secured Oblivion for his correspon-
dence with the rebel chiefs at the opening of the
rebellion, when he knew of their schemes and

After suspension Of several months
the Southern CAristiGn Advocate 10 re-
issued from Macon, Georgia. The 6rst
number 10 dated june 29th, and bears
the name of Rev. Dr. e. Fl. Myers, its
old editor. The NJ r Aetkodist de-
fines the AdpoeaEe's position in plain
terms "As rebel, with an acceptance,
perforce, Of the existing military and
political situation" To our minds the
Advocate 10 as full Of the views OF, re-
bellion as it has been at any time during
its existence, though the peculiar posi-
tion of affairs just now warn it that eau
ton mpst be exercised in the dissemina.
ton Of its views ard feelings. We take
it, however, that the reconstruction and
Reunion of the Methodist Churches
North and South, on the discipline Of
the Church North as basis, will bs
task Of insurmountable difficulty 40
long as the Advocate talks. assit does in
its 6rst issue under the new regime, 2.
Bishop Kavanaugh is already at work
to reorganizs the Methodist General
Conference South, and if successful in
his ffeOrts, will effectually prevent the
Union that the Church North seems
anxious to consnmmate. As with the
Government, so with the Church. We
would not force either upon the rebels
until they manifested q disposition to
receive our advaucesin the proper spirit.
We would, as they have been praying
for the last four yeaas " let them alone. +"
Time viii convince them that ugly
poutisg and snapplsh insults will not
improve their. circumstances or add to
their happiness. 81 >I H*
