In closing a reply to Mr. Adams, the U.

Her Majesty’s Government have consid

aud have snbmited to all its inconvenient
ces as such. They, can only hope that if
lesistauce should prove to be hopeless, the
Confederate Sates will not contiuue the
struggle ; and then, if, on the other baud,
the restoration uf the Union should appear
to be impossible, the work of devastaiou
uow going ou may cease.
ARMY MOVEMENTS.
It is now well understood that General
Lee is on the move, in a direction opposite
to Richmond. In the Richmond Whig of
the 8th, we find the following paragraph:
“It is too generally known, to raise any
question of prudence in speaking of it, that
Gen. Lee has put his army in motion. His
designs are known only to himself and
those with whom it was his duty to con
fer. A fow days will disclose them to the
public, who are willing to wait patiently,
in full confidence that the result will vin
dicate the wisdom of what he undertakes.
A forward movement on his part has beeu
for some time anticipated by the enemy,
and is regarded with very perceptible un
easiness. Whether he is about to justify
their apprehension, by crossing the Rappa
hannock, we have no better means of de
termining than our readers. Should he do
so, events of great consequence must speed
ily follow.”
The Richmond correspondent (“Hermes”)
under date of June 6th, says :
I tell a secret well kuown to Hooker
when I inform you that a part, and per
haps all of Lee’s army is moving—not iu
this direction. Hooker has already tbrowu
forward a force to meet Long&treet, and is
making either a feint to cover the depar
ture of his whole army, or else preparing
to call Lee back by making another “On
to Richmond,” ns soon as he thinks the
way is open.
Longstreet commands the left, Hill the
centre and Ewell the right of the army
under the new organization, so I hear.
Hill becomes Lieutenant General because
the Senate refused to confirm Holmes.
This also is hearsay. The law "limits the
number of Lieuteuant Geuerals to seven.
A DESERVED FATE.
We are iufurmed on what we deem un
questioned authority, that when the Fed*
erals sacked Jackson, and the fire had
communicated to the Confederate Hotel,
several Federal officers rau up into the
observatory to take a hurried look at the
whereabouts of the grand army. The fire
was slowly taking hold of a distant portion
of the house aud all idea of saving it had
beeu abandoned by the proprietor. A
young man employed iu the house, seeing
the vandals go up to the observatory, re
collected that there was a large pile of rich
lightwood under the stairs, the only egress
from the roof. Accordingly, he set the
lightwood on fire, and in five minutes the
stairs were a sheet of flames—aud tbe
Yankee oificers never come down. That
is the way the Confederate Hotel was
burnt.—Augusta Const.
