THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMKRICA. WILHLNGTON, N. O.. SATUBDAY. MAZ 7, 1861. Tt foVcram from Bicbnsond last night is very it-definite J rttSw Ia Northern Virginia. A report i leiaurw-' - A . ... n.n- rAi L tad been engsged all day with Gbakt, and that he i td been successful in repulsing Gbakt with hear loss We have reason to believe these report are correct We eiaU probably receive tbe pr difpache8 this fore noon. Tex grand movement againBt Richmond his at last developed iteelt sufficiently to be understood as consist iog, first in the advance of an immense army under Geat,Meade and BrRNSiDE against Lee. Second in a column moving upon Richmond by way of the Peninsula, on the North side of James River; and third of a force landed on the South side cf the river to operate egaic3t Petersburg, the Railroad or Fort Urewry at Drewry'a Bluff. If either Petersburg or the railroad la tatfb then communication is cat off be tween Richmond and the army of North Carolina. If Fcrt Drewry falls tic enemy may possibly be ab'e to work their gunboats up to Richmond. The whole combined movement is tremendous in its power and extent, and perhaps, taken as a whole, ex ceeds anything ever before brought to bear for the cap- tna r.f a emrrln rJHr. ft eppears evident tlat the fight of Thursday was only preliminary to the general engagement which may be progressing even 03 we write, andean hardly be post- poaed beyond the week. So far all goes well for in. The great tu of war is vet to come. Tt-n oitinn f fi.jnr nfr!r Rlrfimrtnd in not !. critical or important than that on the Rapidan. rl'he attack by the James River and on its Souther bauL strikes ua as being even rao:c formidable than that by the PenicBula. Wc are gratified to know that the general direction of things iu that direction is i.i the hands of an eminent soldier ia whom the country re poses the incst unbounded and well merited confidence From Wilingon, H. C. Atrm ! Vuliim v 4li Yaukeet. Parties who visited Washington eiutu the avacaa. tion cf that place by the enemy at noon on Suuday the 1st icst., state that tic Yankees signalized their depar ture by a characteristic act of vandalism, setting firo to the town cot far from its centre, or speaking more definitely, at or in the neighbourhood of the building j tcrmerly ccenpied by tho Back of WeehiEgtoii. 1 rem thit point the lite extended . Westward nearly up to the bridge, destroying almost every building froca the water to the back part of the town. The fire was pre vented from titctidisg eastward by the ejisrlioiis of the citizens. Mr. IIavbh' warehouse, containing a considerable quautity of commissary stores, small aims, ; powder, c.f escaped the conflagration, and the con tacts fell into the hands ol the Coiifcdcratea. The town is now occupied bj our torcea. Oa Monday 'ast a gun boat cam3 up the Pamlico, near to the towa, asd threw cne ehtli into if. W'c ahould hare stated be fore, that tec bridge over t'. c ramliuo or l.r River vraa i set on fire in three plae- ?, as cOnsirMily ir.jnrd, l though not destroyed.

Carkow wa Mili tia Colorel of the county, and e.do not know that any body else hsd b?en appointed.

Colonel of the uuliiiu.tulhis last occupation in V7V ing is sail to have been clerking for a seero. This act cf the Yankees furnishes a striking com mentary upon Federal occupation. For long months, running into years, their forces have heid "Washington t and yet on leaving it tiicy do their best to destroy it and ruin its icbabitacf 3, regarding them, and no doubt truly, 83 a hostile pCoplc, indeed is shown by the smallnesa ol the number tf thewwho bav gone off with thera.

Alter Laving lived among a people lor a long stretch ol licce, on leaving they show their mag nanimity by outrage a upon the property of the defence less and unarmed, while fleeing- Ircra the approachirg onfet of firmed men. It adds odo more page lo the record of this war, upon which the historian will in scribe the damning tvidcrce of Yanktfl atrovlty and barbarism. Tns President's Message puts a quietus upon all the recognition rumours that have occasionally found a place ia the papftr?, and very slightly amused the people in genera!. Tha President gaya that he sees no pros pect of aa early change ia' the course heretofore pur sued by the Luropeau governments, especial reference having been made to Kagland aod France. Weil, wc mu3t accept the situation, and we are the more able lo do so, since our people ha?c long lamiliarizcd themselves with it, and have ceased to place any dependent upon foreign recognition tr interventiou. It would also seem aa though the President had set at rest the mere politicians' cry for ucgotiAions for petcQ, cr Cuoila niter pcpco by overtures on our 6idc. He says: '-It is euough lor us to know that every avenue of ntgotiation is closed agaictrt ua ; that "our enemy is making renewed and etrecueus cflurls for our destruction ; ami that the sale revuree for m, as a peo ple secure in the justice of our cause, and holding our liberties to be more precious than all other earthly pos sessions, i3.ts combine and apply every available cle ment ol' power for their defence and preservation." The President kuews cf .what be ppeakshe knows how to ?peak sa as not to be misunderstood he is csioscious of the vast responsibilities restiug upou him he is above deception. If not too good aud too'honorable a man to bs guilty el a falsehood, (and we think he is) even L& worst enemies must admit that ho is too wise and too proud an or.e to be guilty of aDythisg approach ing to it in a grave orlicial manifesto to the Confed eracy, tj the continent, to ths world and to posterity. Mr. A, B, 0, or 1, stamping around for political posi tion, having uo eeuac of official responsibility, only anx ious for his o,T?n elevation, the success of his party schemes, or the gratification oi his piivats splccu or factious animosity, c'ads bitter fault with the President and vuciferoutly demands that b.3 should ucgotiats tor peace, and aeks v.Ly he has . not done it. Tha Presi dint qui. tly cud truthfully says : "It is enough for U3 to kaow that every avenue of LCgotiation is closed against us." Tho Presiuirnt says this, kuowj; of what he speaks, (celing the fall responsibility of hie position and the ctlect of bis wurd. Is tot the an swer sufficient ? Yce, wr'i lc the reply ol cvyry reason able, usprcjadiced mau. But will this answer stop llki claiicr, the tlcctioncerirg, tfce hcubugins of the hob-bj-ridcrs iu this State or elsewhere ? Not at all, and for the simple reaaon that the wire-wurkera, tha person, i engineering thess ciovemeuts knew before well as they do boit that the uoor of negotiation was closed, that whfn they urged overtures on our part they cither urged sn impossibility or they counselled abject subraisPiA, for on no oiLcr ttruj will any over tares 'r-ni uj be lL-tc-ned lo jot. They dsc-civeu before. Thej will deceive now. Lst the people take heed.. The door cnst'be force J open in the only manner ia which hoaorablo negotiatfoo? csa be reached, by com bioing and applying every .available clement of power ifor the defence and preservation ef cur liberties J fce j President sees and knows and S3js this, and jet bes i never wavered nor faltered in h3 q cQ Jcdcc in our ul. timate success, aod now hi hopes ol ao earlj caceare expressed in terms which", c mln? from bira, arc well calculated to reassure the most despocdent. Ilcl(ltri I.tgUt Herd Man. In the Confederate flon-e of Represeohvive-, on Wednesday last, Air. (Dr ) .1. T. Leach, of Johnston county, North Carolina, Representative from the third district, being caked by Mr. Staples, of Ya , il he was for peace on any terms as a basis, other uao the ac knowledgment of the independea e of the Confederate States, replied : 1 am for peace upon the basis of the acknowledgment of the Confederacy if it can be obtain ed, but if not, I am for peace on b be?t terms I can get short of subjiuation. Now, in all the movements in Johnston county and throughout the district last S-immsr Mr. L'acti wbj endorsed and supported by Mr. H olden, and Mr JIoldem wa3 endorsed and eupported by Mr. Leach. What on? goes for the other goes for they are Siamese twins, too closely joined to be separated, so closely indeed that they are C3 defendants ia a libel snit brought by Col. D. K. McRae. Upon the merits of this suit we have no'.hics to sav. eince we have never i seen the Duplication unon which it is founded. We simply mention the fict. U -H, Dr. Lsirn er-eabicg ( iu the House, says that be U for per ce even without independence Ibat he ia lor yielding to the Yankees giving up the ship airikirr the colors eWting ,laS- Rett assured that t!.i ako h Hci.dk.'s p'o i tins is what hs talk oi co,;VfctiU')3 ami negotiations and separate actions mf-nus. . The thicg in tonic Cases is thinly disguised, in othcis it ia more adroiily conceal cdrbutone way or the other, Mr. J. T. T.kach giv exprcssioa to the rpirit of Holdcaifciu in '.hh Slate.-- That much w pretty corfaj'i. All who azree with -Mr- Lkacb and are willing to sioj short of indepetknee, who, in Bhort, are willing to to-ke peace oa each terms as Liscolk may dictate, ly?a fuund their mouth-piece iu Ir. J. T. Leach, and will Had thVir eindidnie for Governor in Mr. W. W. Holden. TiiEaK appears to be a fatality abcut the U guj hfc wire?, causing theai to t down just about the time when ny great b.'ttle or other import ant t rent is lock td for. .Such is the cusc at this present viiting, (Thursday forenoon,) frwi which circumstance wc should almost Le led to couclade that a battle is go ing on, even it eiicumstancci had not Glready rendered M probable. We presume the wires will soon be up sometime in the course of the day at T?at nnd in the meantime t.b uu3t try to cnr..?n oar n p'nojOr at any rat3 lu iLihLZi. But thct "He muat prcpaie Jor whether iho telegraph wori'f or not, or whcthf:r its working brings us uews of victory or hs rcveigf. We Icok for victory- We pray for iU We expect it. We ha Ye a reasonable confidence that cur troops will aUaia it. The only thing to b'j guarded against is the indulgence cf such an unreasonable cenfideuea as will prevent U3 froai su3 j taining defeat, or locking its ccmEefuenccs firmly iu the f4ce, with the dettnnicatiou ntver lo despairj but to rite euperior to sr.y thirg tliit fortune cau iLtiict. Not thut we look upon absolute dieartcr a within the rceth i t Lumau prolubiiity.. Wc have too i:igh an opinion oi our iioop? l1 thti- galjant leadejs to per mit iu to ct!t iu plalesuch a contirginry ; but sapposi we simply fail cf sucees?, or of the measure of success which cur highly- wrong hi ee3 our sanguino expic tatiou Luve taught us t lork forward to if not lo re" gard ts already within tnr grasp? 8b-ll we therefore find fault with eur Rallsiui smics and their sUUIfu! und patriotic leaders '! Shall wc indu'go ia d pref.sicu? Shall we for a mcrnent give up the rhip, or fcfcall wc not ratter re doub our cxeit'ens to.jticDgthcn aod 8n3tain the army, trusting that E!e who rules the storm will brink our baik safely into port ? Lst as be pre pared ftr whatever may come. We think ibfit our arms this week will be successful, though we shndler at the price which qit ga'laut armies will have to pay for victory. Still as the time for action comes v.e can not but fctl Lerrou.", not only in vi;W of the militcry consequences of any failure, but also of the moral cf facts upon s people sanguine to th extent rtf over-confidence. We would say uothing to deprcaa the. tnthubiasin ol cur people or lessen their well grounded coi.fidecce in the tried talor and patriotism of our; soluicis ; but we would simply beg them to remember that the fortuaee of war ate proverbially uncertain, and that ol this un certainty the present war has furnished many etriking instances. We will surely be none the Iqss able or willing lo'ttjoiee over good news because of being pre pared to bear up against bad. We must cultivate fortitude nmcug tho leadiEg virta ?, since we niny,.jf:t have much need for its exercise. This war is not over yet. The-battle? of Northern Virginia and Northern Georgia are yet to bs fought. We look, under God, for success lo pcrtb upou cur banLCir. but even should this not bs tho case, we mue! accept it as Uis wil', without murmuring or faltering, so that, persevering to the end, the prlz hmj the ro?ie.
