The Worlds Washington correspondent
has intelligence confirming the report that
Richmond would be evacuated under GER
tain contingencies, and that the new mill
tsry policy of the rebels was to give up all
sesboard cities almost without struggle.
he says Lee accepted the position of Cen
eral in Chief on a written pledge that the
military policy he might advocate should
be carried out. This policy includes the
plan of evscusting all the ports near
Atlantic coast and concentrating troops at
one or more points further inland.
The rebel armies IN the Southwest are
to be ordered east The Southern forces
are to be concentrated into two large ar
mics, viz. one Eastern, under the direction
of Lee, and the other W sstern, in (South
CArolina), under Beauregsrd. It is des-
igned to fall on Sherman with whole force
and if successful in destroying his army,
march against Grant.
The Richmond Whis draws patriotic
picture Of the condition of the Southern
people after subiugation. It represents
men begging in foreign lands, or serving
as porters and draymen under negroes for
Yankee merchants. ItalsO represents the
women doing meniAl labor, taking Yam
kee husbands to prevent starving, or beg
ging the privilege Of taking in washing for
Yankee task-mGsterS. zf5'
