Stgm of a Movement toy Lee?Flght liig tonalities or Vlrglul. Soldiers, Etc., Kit. Befobk Pktxbsbbbo, Feb. 28, 1865. Special Oorreipouileoce Washington Chronicle. Ttaia is the day we expected tbo rebels to evacuate Petersburg. Dame Rumor through her countless mediums?the de serters?said General Lee had issued pri vate orders for the destruction of all tobacco, cotton, and other articles or ma terials that might be of service of the Yan kees. The tuin wag to be performed secretly and with despatch. From the same gentry we have numerous other stories with which I shall not trouble you at present. I cannot see that Petersburg ha9 been evaouated. A long ride this morning imong our tacgled and crooked earth works has proved this fact very distinctly to my understanding. The rebels swarmed upon the parapet, peeped through embra sures, or leaned idly against the gabions in the fortifications. Groups were idly sunning themselves upon an elevated bomb - proof, while others clustered together, and, with spade aud pick, were intent upon repairing the damage done the works by wind and rain. There is no doubt many of their heavy pieces of artillery have been removed, and Seld batteries substituted. This is a pre cautionary mea'ure, for whioh they may soon be very thankful. A man came in the other night, who represented himself to have been a guard on the pontoon bridge iver the Appomattox, and that while yn liity tbere one night, he oounted sixty pieces of cannon cross the stream. What does Lee mean to do? I can easi ly guess what would give him infinite sat isfaction?to defeat Grant, end humiliate Sherman. Can he do either? By leaving a strong skirmish line, bo might possibly be able to withdraw sufficient force from our front to severely damage Sherman. This course would bo mucb safer for him than to brave oar breastworks, against which his men would never be able to ef feet a broach. At present the army of Northern Virginia would have a better chance for victory iu a' race; it is not so full of fight now as last spriog. Concentration is the consummation for which we wish devo'iit'ely. Let Schofield, Sbertnnn, and Omnt combine, and the ruin of the Confederacy will be certain and irretrievable No one feela thiB fact more painfully than the rebel generalissimo. Su it is not natural to think be will furnish Sherman with a sligh diversion before Richmond is vacated and shelter oraved in the works of Lynchburg. More than two yeara ago, when Rich mond was beleagured by the troops under McClcllan, Lee i-sued a military ediot, in ton Jed for a sedative to the nervous and over anxious ones of the city. If that place should have to be abandoned, then tbere were other places witbin the borders of his native State where good defence could be made, and strong blows given for deliverance. Oatbls unhappy occasion he informed the people and the soldiers that his "last battle should be fought upon the last hills of Virginia." Did be ' wish us to understand that his State offered more natural qualification for defence and fortification than any other in the Soritfc? I think not. The idea con veyed is that no spirit to fight could'ro main, if driven from his home. All the Virginians in bis army think the same way. Palmetto Guards, Mississippi Rangers, Texan BraveB, or Louaiaua Tigys?what are they? Men, men, men?and miserable soldiers they proved. We have found difficulty in vanquishing any command with a fierce-sounding, bloody name. But, whenever Virginia soldiers have confront ed ours, the tug of war has been deadly. Ot this state her soldiers can exclaim: "Al?.l poor country 1 it cannot Be called oar mother, bat oar grave*." It is quite natural, then, with such a commander over all the rebel forces, that the last fight will be made, upon the last hill i.i this State, all stories of the'? last ditch" to the contrary notwithstanding.? This is undoubtedly Grant's desire, and State love has ever been a great snare to great rebels. Lee is human, and quite likely to be ruined by his devotion. A wagon fall of recels drove headlong through our lines one' morning. The pickets were too rnnch amused at the ludi crous sight to be troubled with consterna tion. On becomicg acquainted with the party, it was learned they were a detail of a dozen men in charge of a lieutenant.? Wood being scarce near their camp, per mission was obtained to get some fuel oat*'* side their lines. The party loaded the wagon, came into our quarters, and laugh ingly offered Co barter tbeir wood for some refreshments. An exchange was easily ef fected. Roger A. Pryor arrived here last night. He will be exchanged. Rain has at last ceased it* dreary fall. The road* are mend ing. Scouts are out continually, and every preparation made for a hasty pursuit, should the enemy give us the slip- Rven now they are preparing.

It does not teem inappropriate to suggest to our people, in the present crisis, some af the reflections with which the brolve sol ,r encourages himself in battle, and ila'rm ""CBestions of apprehension snd They are submitted with the hope that bey will^erve to dispel some of the fears bat timidity, the love of ease and proper ?y, or secret hostili:y to our cause, so in Insiriously propagate. ? Pf eJ,\?{ ?at,L8' ever' eolc"6r knows, is of an kinds of startling rumors and re ports. The strougth of the enemy is then ilwaya exaggerated, his movements and lesigns are misrepresented, and dapgera nagoified, or even invented Such seems to bethe case with thepeopla f the confederacyat this time. The air is llled with alarming rumors; every fear ias fonod a vpice asfl everything is open 0 the tale it telle. of precan ^"h?.C?n"r'"a ^Presnge Sfooitor Wuen the wagons and sick are ordered to ?he rear it is inferred that the army is bout to retreat. It is time to proclaim in the ranks and give the reassuring sommand, "Steady!" Let every man re urn lo his post and give all his energy to bo performance of his duty, while he lis ens to the words of encouragement from -be soldiers m the front. Regard all street umors as the soldiers do those of the :amp They know that none of the Utter ?re wholly true, and most of them entirely alse. They only frighten those who are ilready scared. Try to tiaoe one of them ?o its source, and you will find that, in nnety nine cases out of a hundred, the svidenco in support of it would fail to :onvince a rational aod oool man of the east, important fact. Measures of precaution do not indicate loubt of success. To take off one's cloibes oefore going into the water does not prove :hat one expects to be drowned. Every incumbrance must bs sent to the rear bo ore the battle, however secure the victory may be. The real dingnr is alwaya'lesa thau imagination represents it to be. Look iteadily at a ghost and it will vanish Danger offsets the enemy as much as it doea 0 3. If we feel like retreatiog if pressed; we may be very certain' that be will do thesameif we press him. We should not forget, in dwelling upon our own diffi. unities and embarrassments, that the ene my has his also. The i99ue of battle is not in the hands of man. An apparently trifling circumstance has often defeated the combinations of skill and the power of numbers aud resources In the words of the old Scotch version Tbe race is not to him that's got j Tbe lonRMt Itgi to mo. Nor tin- battalia to tbe peopelto That shoots the longest gun. A critieal moment is critical to both sides. General Jackson (Stonewall) was once told that the enemy was on hia flank. He answered, "Then I am on bis flink too." It it.well kppw?} that those bold tbaocsu vrea, which "are'decisive if successful, al ways expose the party undertaking them to disaster usually great In proportion to tbe audacity of bia.own movements. We will conclude these suggestions with an application of this thought to our pree-' ent situation. To effect the concentration of his foroea against Ricbmood, which now excitea so muoh apprehension, Qen. Grout has drawn his troops from every other pfcrt of the country. To make us risk all upon a single issae he has been com pelled. to do the same. Should he lose any oueof tbe three armies now converg ing upon us hia whole plan of campaign would be broken np. Neither of the others could resist the combination of our forces which hie policy has rendered necessary Our country, extept thefcoasftowos, wonld be relieved from tbejpresence of an enemy We could repair the railroads that havey been dama&d, - The spiritt.of oar people wonld revive. Absentees would return to duty, and, if congress would provide for the employment or negro soldiers, we conld raise a force'tote-enter Tenneeaee and Ken tucky far more rapidly than tbe enemy conld provide one tOoppose'us. Tbe result would be that , the North would have to beg<n the work of sobjagaHon again ? For if we can destroy the army of flen.Sher man, for example, we' could then'give full employment to tbe reat of tbe federal troop, now operating in Virginia and North Carolina. None of them could be with drawn to defend Teunease and Kentucky Nor could more be taken for that purpose from beyond the Mississippi, without ex posing Uisaonu and abandoning Arkansas The enemy would have to provide a new army for the West. What that wonld cost htm, what the effect wonld be apon the hope aod spirits of the people can readily be determined. It it very, certain that oar condition would be far more favorable in ev.eT. sense, should auch a result.be at 1 tained, even with the loaa of Richmond, Charleston and Wilmington, than it was before Gen-. Grant's combinations began. Let ua, then, look at the facts as they real ly are. Let ns not be deceived into at taching nndne importance to losses which are greater in name than in reality, bnt learn to value results according to their rei^l' significance. Let as be calm and re solved, knowing that if we are in danger so is the enemy. Let ns do oar work earnestly and quietly, fall into line and be no longer startled, bnt steady. ? r Cnllatmcnt or Rebel Prisoners or War. The Seoretary of Waron Wednesday last sent to tbe House a communication from Provost-Marshal-General Fry, in reply to a resolution asking for information in re lation to the enlistment of rebel prisoners of war. The Utter says the 3d Maryland cavalry I regiment, raised nnder authority of the I War Department, had enlisted (or it at Fort I Delaware four hundred and sixty-one rebel prisoners. These were credited to the State I of Maryland. The 1st Connecticut cavalry had enlisted for it at Fort Delaware, and credited to the State of Delaware, in May, I 1863, eight two rebel prisoners. All tbe enlistments of said persons were stopped by telegram from tbe Secretary ot War, dated August, 18C3, but subsequent authority was issued by tho Secretary of I War to enlist one hundred and twenty I rebel prisoners for tbe 3d Maryland cav- 1 ilry. Tbe foregoing men have been paid tbe United States bounty. Immediately on tbe completion of the I 3d Maryland cavalry it was sent to' New Orleans, and has since been serving in the I Department of the South. There have been enlisted at Point Look- I jut for tbe 1st United States volunteers eleven hundred and five rebel prisoners, I ind for the 2d United States volunteers 1 three hundred and seventy-nine. These enlistments were made under tbe I lirection of the President. Recruitment for the 2d regiment was I stopped by order of the Secretary of War-i in September lost. The rebels enlisted at Point lookout were never credited to any State. Credits atid payments of bounties to them were forbidden by order of the I War Department. By direction of General I Lirant tbey were sent to the Department of tbe Northwest, and have since been serv-1 ing there. Coder special instructions of tho Pres dent seventeen hnnired and fifty men, I beld ns rebel prisoners of war at Rock I [aland, Illinois, were, during September ind October, 1864, mustered into the mil itary service, and credited to Pennsylva nia, with the exception of twelve, credited :o Ohio. | There has been paid no bounty by the United ScateB, but were paid the local sonntici by the plaoes to which they were sredited. Tbey were kept under guard as Pther recruits ore until organized and sent to tho field. On Major General Pope's ap plication tbey were ordered to the Do cument of Missouri tor Bervice in the West. No other rebel prisoners than those here q stated are known to have been enlisted n tbe service. Union Eclectic medical Association. Pursuant to a notioe issued by the com Dittee, a number of the members of the I Eclectic profession met in the city of Wheeling February 28, 1865, for the pur pose of effecting an organization.

Washington, March 4.?Fellow Country men : At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then n statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pur- j sued, seemed very fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been con stantly called forth on every point and phase of the great oontest whiob still ab sorbs the attention and engrosses the en ergies of the nation, little that is new can be presented. The progress of our arms, upon wbioh all elBe chiefly depends, is as well known to the publio as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. Witb high hope for the future, no prediction in regard 10 it is ventured. Un the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously di rected to an impending civil war; all de cried, all Bought to avoid it. While the inaugural address was being de livered from this place, devoted altogether to having the Onion without war, insur gent agenis were in the city seeking to de stroy it without war; seeking to dissolve the Dnion and divide the effects by negoti ation. Both parlies deprecated war ; but one of these would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather thin let it perish?and thus the war came. One-eighth of the whole population were colored. Slavery was not distributed generally over the Union, bnt localized in the southern part of it. That slavery constituted a peculiar and powerful interest; all know that this interest was some how the cause of the war; to strength en, perpetuate and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Uoion by war, while the govern ment claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it Neither party expected from the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that1 the cause of the conflict, might cease, still j less even before tne conflict itself Bhould i cease. Each looked for on easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astound ing. Both read the same Bible, and prayed to the same God, and each invoked His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any Aen should dare to ask a juBt God's assistance in wringing their bread Irom the sweat of other men's brows. But "judge not that wo be not judged." The prayers of both could not be answered, that of neither has been answered fully. The Al mipbty has His own pnrpose. Woo uato the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, bnt woe to that man by whom the offense cometh. If wo shall suppose that American slavery is one of the so-called offenses which in the providence of God must needs come, but which having continued through bis appointed time, he now wills to remove, shall we not discern that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as due to thoae by whom the offense came. Is there any departure from the divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to him? Fondly do wo hope, fer vently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Vet if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondmen's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be snok, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the Bword, still it must be said, as was B*id three thousand years ago. that tbe ju gemeots of the Lord are true and rigbteoos altogether. Witb malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are engaged in, to bind up tbe national wounds, and care for bim who shall have boroe the battle and lor his widow and orphan, and to do all that may be necessary to achieve aud cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. New Yobjs, March 4.?Adticea received here through private sources from Mexico, state that the war iu tbe United States is attracting the special attention of the im perial government.
