We have, thought for some time past that
it was the DurooSe of the enemy to move
upou Petersburg by the South side of James
River, and the accumulation of .a large num
ber of troops at Suffolk confirms us in the
belief. The attempt will be made to take
Peteraburg, and thus cut off Richmond from
all railroad connection whioh it has with, the
South, except that which is famished by the
Biohmond ' and. Danville Railroad, which
would be a very roundabout 'way; of feeding
or reinforcing' an armv at Richmond. It
would be worse than idle to deny that this
movement by the Yankees is calculated to
awaken the most serious anxiety. Should it
be successful, it would frd a hard blow on the
cause of the South. But it must not be
successful. Our resistance must not only be,

In this connection, , we would urge the

removal of their moveable property at the

'thev will begin' at once to feed their corn to
their hogs, thev will , have them ready' for
the knife by the latter part of November, or
early in December, when the weather will
be cool enough for killing. They can make
no better use of their corn at this time. The
- ' t
hogs must be fattened at some time or other.
Should they not be threatened with a visita

nothing, as their; hogs; will be fattened to
their hand.

THE PROSPECTS Op ANjEARLY PEACE.
-.WTe preeent;this xnorning an interesting torn
munkation upon the1 prospect! or an early peace,
written at our request, by an eminent and highly
educated reotleman, lately jfrom, the United
States:.; :v .!-.' '
To the Editors 0 the Enquirer : . '
5 GiamiMis At your request, 1 will , state
briefly my conclusions, from the information I
possess, as to the chances of an early termination
of the war My belief is that the ;War;.wiU .be
either, terminated, in ; few months or, bo r indefinitely-prolonged.
Of these two results, my opin
ion is that the chances are greatly In favor of the
formers ni iH'
- The first : consideration inclining my mind to
the conclusion I have stated, is tho results that I
amoonvinced have flowed? from the battles in
Virginia and Maryland in the campaign, now
progressing; from , tha battla of ( Williamsburg
down to the present tim,iDclQire. Notwithstand
ing what is asserted in official despatches, and al
leged by army correspondents and editorials 'of
newspapers, my information satisfies me that the;
Confederate arms have met with too defeat ' thus
far in this campaign, and that the truth of this
statement is well known to tha Federal officers
and soldiers participating in these various battles.
It is not only known to and appreciated by them,'
but it is fully and frankly acknowledged, by very
many of them. I The battle of Antietaoo, or
Sharpsburg was to the Federal forces the most
terrible defeat otthe war; and such, I am satisfied,
is the eeneral estimate of it by the Northern pub
lic, and such it is admitted to have been by num
berless Federal officers and soldiers who- partici
pated in it.- The bloody results of thsse battle
"fields have produced, (I think) as they wall might
ha3 done, enacts tavoraoie to; an eariy lermina-
tion of tne war. Mj oDservauon ana inrorma
tion satisfy me that a large majority of the North
ern officers and soldiers desire peace and wish that
tha wr'vjr now. terminated.!. The seiritofre
sentment is.' I think, visibly abated on both sides.
The Northern soldiers are obviously less denun
ciatory of the South and Southern men. .The
declaration that they . are tired of the war and
earnestly desire it to cease is frequently and every
where heard. The proclamation of. President
Lincoln for the emancipation of, the slaves, though
not openly condemned by the armj, is greatly dis
approved by many and is openly, freely and bit
terly denounced by prominent men and leading
newspapers of the North a proceeding that
would not have been tolerated six weeks ago, but
have caused the arrest ot the individuals and the
suDDression of the newspaper. Denunciations of
a war conducted to secure the emancipation 0
slaves are unreserved and constantly to be heard
There- seems to be a conviction resting upon the
minds of a large portion of the North, both army
and civilians, that eneugh has been done in those
battles fully to vindicate the courage of both sides,
and that blood enough has been spilled, and suf
fering and misery 'enough have! been experienced
and caused 10 appease even the Moloch of Car
nage himielf. The conviction, I am satisfied
has, by the results of these battles, been forced
upon their mind3, that while they may be able
. 1 1 . 1 i L. . .1 ' '

bring into- the field, to overran, lay waste . and
destroy our country, and to renew the sickening
scenes of death, carnage and misery, presented in
the deadly conflicts between brethren of the' late
battle fields; yet, that they .cannot subdue the
South: that the Union as it was can never be re
stored; that the acknowledged and alleged un
willing surrerder of Mr. Lincoln of the Govern
ment of the United States, into the hands of the
Abolitionists, suppresses the last lingering hope
of a restoration of the Union, even on the part of
those who sustained his Administration under the
honest belief that he was endeavoring in good
faith to aecompiisn tnat end. p ;

if they were able to subdue the South, feud with
out which they have no idea that the power of the

accomplishment of this result would be accompa-

gar and tobacco crops and of the: market of the
boutn, mat source ana tnose elements of ineu'eu
table wealth to the North in the past: Truly "1
barren sceptre in their gripe :"' the fruit "turned
to ashes upon their lips." These facts, which I
ve'cilv believe do exist, satisfy my mind that the
tendency of things is to a termination of the war.
That a conviction is becoming general in the
1.T . 1 .1 . .1 ' A. .2 r 1 T T . f .
xxorui mat urn resburauou 01 tua union mat is
to say. the reeet&blishment of the Unionas it ex
isted under the Constitusion of the United States-
is impossible and utterly hopeless; that in
point of fact the Constitution of the United States
itself no longer exists. Indeed, II; have heard it
JtZ j! ll A ? a 4 -a
roiiiarjtoa yary repeauy taat 11 is rarely reierred
to; that it is the government and not the Consti
tution, that is now the subject of reference, and
the upholding and supporting it in whatsoever it
may mink nt to do is made the test ot political
fidelity and orthodoxy. V ?
The next consideration supporting the cohclu
sion I have stated is the condition of financial af
fairs in the North. j ' -A '
That the North is in a great monetary crisis
and that a financial crash is impending and likely
speedily to occur, seems to be a settled conviction
Doth Here and in Europe. My information is and
I think reliable, that Wai. Streetcontrary to its
former status, is now for peace,. M
Capitalists advocate, it is said, a. termination of
the war . It is certain they havei upheld tho gov
ernment financially; and . that without their aid
tne war could not have been prosecutrd. ! They
have heretofore insisted upon a prosecution of the
war, believing it would be productive of a-resto-ration
of the Union a result which.accomplishe
speedily, might assure to them the advances they
had made and were making to the government.
They see that this cherished result can never be
accomplished, and that the continuation of this
war but increases the public debt,thereby impair
ing the security for their advances and hence they
advocate peace.JiThe foreign journals, in yiew.of
the daily feverish and fluctuating state of the
money market, tho constant and permanent in
crease in the value of gold, and consequent de
crease in the value of-; paper money; the issuing
oy me government 01 millions upon minions 01-
paper money, until it threatens; in amount to
equal nearly the indebtedness of the government;
the increased and constantly increasing amount of
imports, with no exports to pay for them and the
unexampled rate of foreign exchange, confidently
predict the crash to.wnicn 1 nave aiiuaed, and
assert that ij occurrence wtll deprive the Fede
ral Government of the capacity. longer to wage
the pending. war. -A domestic debt may be dealt
with without gold, but a foreign debt must be paid
in that medium an advantage; the Confederate
Government in. this instance possesses over; her
adversary. uSweetaretheuseqfladversiiy.n
1 These considerations, thus briefly stated of
themselves, tend very strongly j to support the
correctness of the opinion I have given you.
But there is another which leads me mere strong
ly to believe that the war can not be long- contin
ued. I mieht have added to what I have already
suggested, the fact that there is an abiding confi
dence, on the part of many of the Northern sol
diers, that there will De no ngbting between the
armies of Lee and McClellan, and a correspon
dent desire that there shall be no more. A
young Confederate ' Captain, jest arrived from
Gen. Lee's headquarters, informs me that ; the
whole of McClellan's army, with the exception
01 some few troops stationed at and about Har
per's Ferry , yet occupy the position in Maryland,
assumed shortly .after the battle I of Sharps burg,
and no purpose is manifested to advance into Vir
ginia. He says that conversations frequently
occur between the troops on opposite sides of the
river, and that the Federal troops constantly an
nounce to the Confederates that they have no ex,
pectation of any more fighting between the two'
armies. I -, -f . . . ' j . (. ;
But the consideration to.- which I have above
alluded is the State of political feeling that is
known to exist in the North between the so-called
radical or abolition party and the conservative or
JMUtJ, WW 119 mum u i
is bow u progress between
thMA narties. which for bitterness and .rancor is
unexampled in the history of party.oonfifets, in
this country j it ii waged on either side avowed
ly for political extermination. If the conserva
tives succee(Lin this struggle, and get the control
of the. Government, the purpose is already, an
nounced "to-crush out the radicals r or, in .the
polite phraseology of. the day, not, to leave a
greaie spot of them-Q& no doubt , similar kind
and admirable sentiments, are entertained (if "not
expressed,) on their part towards the conserva
tives, i , . , 1
i Every effort was made prior to the nomination
of candidates, to accommodate the difficulties be-.
tween them, and produce concert of action ia the
prosecution of the war, but without success. I The
conservatives insist upon ; conductingv the; rar
only in the exercise of powers authorized by .the
Constitution, of the United States, r The radicals
insist upon condueling it in the exercise of any
powers that will accomplish the end in view the
suppression of the revolution ; that the Constitu
tion shall be unheeded and inoperative until that
result is accomplished. When the' nominations
in New York were first made me, f'Heral4" an
nounced that Seymour,' the candidate of the con':
servatives for Governor, would be elected by an
overwhelming ..majority, over Wadsworth, the
candidate ot the radicals. In the issue of that
paper of the 4th, it is suggested that Seymour
may be defeated by the use of the superior finan
cial means of the radicals, and the exercise of the
powers which the late surrender of-the govern
ment into their hands by President Lincoln, and
the late order froro, the War Department provid
ing for the appointment of Porvost Marshals ' in
the so-called loyal States, puts at their command.
This order unquestionably provides the powers
for the establishment of an unmitigated military
despotism. The '.6"' of the 4th, alleges that
the success or wads worth, in me coming election
will be the signal for the establishing in the State
of New York, over the conservatives, of this des
potism in all its rigor and predicts that in a
short time after such success, there will-be scarce
ly a prominent man of the conservative party in
the State, out of prison. This state of things t s
confidently anticipated by numbers, and ; there is
a Arm and wide-spread determination forcibly to
resist the first enort to establish at. in view or
alt the circumstances: that surround the ease I
can aot see how a conflict can' be avoided. This
is the decided opinion of many intelligent men,
well informed upon the subject, with whom I
have conversed. An intelligent gentleman, who
travelled through the State 4f New York; when
the meetings were j being had,' preparatory; to the
nominations, informed me that the conservative
party had a wide-spread organization, determin
ed forcibly to resist the first arrest aimed lat the
freedom of speech and of the press. The bitter
ness and animosity existing between the parties is
daily increasing in' intensity ? and this state of
things alone, without a conflict, must Obstruct
seriously, if hot . absolutely defeat any efficient
prosecution of. the war. If the conflict of arms
occur, the war between : the -North and South is
ended, Tho .Confederacy is accomplished. These
are the' views and considerations, imperfectly ex
pressed,, which have led my mind to the conclu
sion I have expressed to you. ' : S-

; THESE BLOCKADE CARGOES. i
We defy any one to prove that the cargoes of
miscellaneous goods which have oflate successful
ly run the blockade, and imported i: by 1 private
speculators,have in any degree benefitted thepeople
or the Government of the Confederate States. Their
only, effect, from the first cargo landed, was to
enhance the price, of goods.
In this connection we clip the following para
graphs from the Charleston Courier : : :
An intelligent and observant gentleman re
marked lately that at an auction recently held in
this city five Government agents were bidding
against each other, j r ' -jy
Is it any wonder we nave sunered from artifi
cially forced prices under such $ condition of com -missariat
? .
As a Specimem illustration of some of the fea
tures of the auction system, we invite attention to
a label or card taken from a bale of prints lately
sold m. this city, i This card bears the title 'Ex
celsior Madder Prints,' and for a device or trade -mark
a figure of a -Zouave rampant. ; holdine a
United States flag, with the motto of New York
"Excelsior' and. trampling, on a Confederate
flag.:! . ' i
Is it very probable that these goods came from
England? j j m
This system of selling at auction offers up a fine
market for Yankee goods. We regret to see' it
adopted by some Southern manufacturers, by
Which, -instead of 'thpir products bringing fair
profits, they are raised in price four times to the
ceeay comsumer. i : . ,

the basis of 'outgoing cargoes of our staples, the
Government should - interfere and put a stop to

The Constitution confides to the civil authorities,
Legislative, Judicial: and Executive, the power

the federal laws. Armed forces) are raised and
supported simply to sustain the eivil authorities,
and are to be held in strict subordination thereto
in all respects. This fundamental rule of our
political system is essential to the security of our
republican institutions, and should be thoroughly
understood and observed by every soldier. ' The
principle upon which, and the objects for which,
armies ehall be employed in suppressing the re
bellion must be determined and declared by the
civil authorities and the ' chief Executive, who is
charged with the administration of the national
affairs, I is the proper and only source tnrougn
which the views and orders of the Government
can be made known to the armies of the nation.
Discussion by officers and soldiers concerning
public measures determined upon: and declared
by the Government, wnen carried at ail i Deyond
the ordinary temperate and respectful expression
of opinion, tend greatly 1. to impair, and destroy
the discipline and efficiency of troops by substi
tuting the spirit of political faction for that firjn,

the Government, which is the highest duty ef the
American soldier. The remedy lor political er
rors, if any are committed, is to be found only in
the action of the people at the polls, i
In thus calling the attention of this army to the
true relation between the soldiers and the Gov

that Lincoln's visit to the army ome ten ! days
