vThc Hsrald's correspondence repre-
sents military matters on both sides Of
the James River as again quiet. The army
holds its newly acquired ground protected by
strong earthworks. Maj. Gen. Wright has
returned to the 9th corps. Dcsertions from
the rebel armies continue to befrequcnt.
The Worlds Washington dispatch reiter-
ates the former statement that the rebels
will soon evacuate Richmond and the entire
Atlantic Coast, and fall back to tho interior,
also that the rebels arc making preparations
for an overwhelming attack upon Sherman.
Leo and Bcaurcsard arc to have two grand
armies for future operations.

SurRxAS's OPERArioNs.-The rebel papers
evidently intend to furnish rs littlo inforna.
ton as possible about Shcrman's movements,
and Il may DO that, owing to that officers
vigorous style Of dealing with telegraph lines.
they arc not able to gain much themselves.
We have yet no distinct acknowledgment
that Branchville has been captured, but II 10
stated that Sherman has crossed the Edisto
river. which. passing by Branchville about o
mile TO tho westward OF il. constituted Hnr-
does line OF defense. Tho Richmond Dis
patch said several days ago that II Sherman
succeeded In crossing tho Edisto, Branchwile
would DO evacuated by the Confederate troops
which, therefore. has probably been done.
Bur this seems TO bo only small part of
Sherman's movements. According 70 tho
rebel dispatches q portion Of his forces have
appeared on the railroad two-thirds of the
way to Columbia. the State capital. This
would take them above Kingsville, tho juno.
ton of the roads leading the ono castwardly
to Wilmington. and the other to tho north
by the Danville road to Richmond. This
feat sewers the entire connection between Rich

gusta depends upon his belief as to tho mill
tary factories and stores yet remaining there.
Neither il Il clear that he will now follow
Hurdee directly towards Charleston. As no
stands at Branchville. looking north, Charles
ton Is nearly behind him on the right hand
side, in corner, and with even less amount
of marching than would DO required to scizo
it, he can put himself on the North Eas ern
Railroad. which alone connects Charleston
with Richmond. For fear Of such move,
Charleston may be evacuated the moment tho
capture of Branchville IL learned. But in
case that is not done. Fosters forces and
other columns Of Sherman's are 30 posted as
to confuse the rebels and keep them in ignor-
ancc of the quarter from which the decisive
blows will come. Thus far Sherman is clear
ly master of tho situation, and II Is difficult

PRESIDENTIAL suRKwDNEss.-RemarkinS up
on the desire of the rebel ENJOYS to 60 to
Washington. the Boston Traveller says:


Washington, the Boston Traveller says:
II is probable that to the entire ignorance OF
the Southrons Of Mr.. Lincoln's character that
we owe the late singular episode In the contest
But for that ignorance no rebel commission ev-
err would have been appointed, and no more
would have come from the Blair mission than
came from the Gilmore ard Jaqucs mission.
Judging Of Mr.. Lincoln Of what they know OF
his predecessors, the rebels supposed 1t would
be the easiest thing in the world to get their
Centlemanly spies to Washington, pro-
yided they should first succeed in quilting Blair;
and to gull the old gentleman proved indeed to
be the easiest thing in the world,-as easy rs
lying, or as receding. But the President and
Secretary Of State are men OF different grade
from Blair and certain others Of the rebel well
wishers. Probably not another OF our Pres'-
dents would have resolved rs Mr.. Lincoln So
sensibly resolved. They would have considered
it undignifed to make q journey to meet PR.
vatc gentlemen, who were commissioners only
because that title was conferred on them by
Washington news manufacturers. The Presi-
dent, with his shrewd good sense, put the mat
ter on its proper basis ut once. lie had no hes
itation about seeing the gentlemen, but he
knew what they were after too we'll to allow
them to come TO the Federal capital. The Pres.
ident would have no tnttling. Thus the rebel
plot was contemplated in the frankest ana
most open manner possible. The Southrons
saw none Of the persons with whom they had
proposed holding the sweetest OF sweet counsel,
under pretense Of talking matters over with
our chiefs. That they were going to Washing
ton under false prctences is sufficiently clear
from the fact that they had nothing to say to
President and Secretary Of State that could not
rs we'll have been said by Mr.. Blair, who was
quite equal to the task Of repeating the parrot
ike words they have uttered through four years,
such as independence Separation nation
atty and the like. So all that came from
their move was an opportunity to say to our
two highest placed men, face to face. what they
have said to them since the spring Of 1861.
There the matter ends, rs respects negotiations,
neither party having changed 50 much as a
shade; and all that is now LEFT for Us is to fight
out the quarrel to decision.
