Gen - Lee to come North.
The•papers last week had informa
tion that the 'rebel General . Robert
Lee, oil, main ,prOp and hope of the
forlorn .Confederaey, was Contempla
ting a grand inroad into the Northern
dominions, that would "astonish tho
world," pr,..nt least, ho would "con
quer a peace, or die.in the attempt."—
This may be characteristic language
from the characteristic general, but,
nevertheless; further developments
must bff.naide to convince "tho world,'
that there is a practicability .of his
great design. What the • crafty hero
intends accomplishing is difficult for
us to conjecture. That a part of his
programme is to raid into the North,
is, according to the information, alto,
gather probable.: But how he is to
commence this raid, situated as he is,
and with the insinfficie4
.force at his
command, is a problem difficult enough
for military sages to solve, Should he
succeeo liowevor, in escaping from
-his lair And penetrating the North
ern Sttitee,•and like Sherman reach
his proposed destination intact, (which
is impossible,) wo would find that des
tination to be a point in Canada, from
whence, with the combined armies of
Prance, Bnghtnd, and the Confedera
.ey, he Will again sally forth and en
etleavor to regain lost territory. This
is a wild speculation, perhaps, but no
-other movement is. probable in our be
lief, by which the General could "as
tonish the world." As Lee could not
reach Canada with his army entire, no
step wOuld be more acceptable to our
generals - thin that he should leave his
preseni'position and try his fortunes,
or experience his misfortunes, on a
broader field. Having learned not to
estimate the ability of our enemy at
too low.a.standard, wo arc cautioned
to IteeP 'on the 'alert, await the issue,
rand confidently repose in our military
.authorittef3 to check Lee's impetuous
career.

The Tennessee Campaign.
[Correspondence of the Now York
Times.]
HuNTsvm,E, Tug Way, Janu
ary 3,1865.
The Tennessee campaign at an
end. The last of Hood's army crossed
the Tennessee River, near Brown's Fer
ry, on the 29th ult, with eight pieces
of artillery and about eighteen : thous
and men. lle left Macini With thirty
five thousand men, and was reinforced
with Forrest's cavalry and a portion
of Dick Taylor's corps swelling his
forco to fully forty thousand men and
one hundred and ten picces,of artille
ry. With this force he 'Marched upon
Nashville. After the battle of Nash
ville, both armies flOnnelorect in mud
for ten days.' Great exertions were
made by Geueral,Thomas to. capture
the whole rebel army, but the eleMents
and ttie fleetness of Heed's infantry,
and the valor of Forreet'S cavalry foil
ed them. From the 17th until the
29th," Wilson and Forrest wore contin
ually skirmishing, the weight of the
successes being in our favor. Tho in
fantry, in the meantime, would crawl
away a short distance every night,
and the cavalry oppose us boldly dur
ring daylight. On the 27th, Gon.
Steedman was sent across the river at
Decatur, but Hood returned by the
Florence and Lawrenceburg roads to
the north. Hero the gunboat? would
have materially injured Hood but the
latter went to the left; end :mega ded
during the night in crossing the river.
It is believed that Hood has buried.
and thrown into the river at least 30
pieces of artillery, as we have 68 . pie,
cos, and it is known that he got away
with him but.two batteries. It is also
known that he had 110 pieces in front
of Franklin. Hood abandoned a largo
number of wagons and ambulances,
the horses being needed to assist in the
movement of. his pontoon bridge.
Rhoddy's cavalry broughtn - ri the rebel
rear guard, and on the mornino• a of the
29th had a brilliant encounter with
Gen. Wilson's forces, in which the
former lost over five hundred prison
ers. Our official list of prisoners, at
the Provost-Marshal's office, N. Ot inclu
ding, the last 500 is 9,700. Over 900 de
serters have also reported. Hood is go•
ing down to Minden, where ho will, no
doubt, endeavor to reorganise his for
ces. here can be ho question 41it
that his army has sustained the most
crushing defeat - and rout of the war.
The chase has been abandoned in
force, although Steedman is across
the river with orders to harass him
-
and capture as much material .as possi
ble. I will state that a new campaign
has been already projected, and the
respective corps of Wood, Smith and
Schofield are already moving. The
Tennessee campaign, however, is en
ded.
BEN - SA:MAN C. TRUMAN
From the Army of the Potomac,
WASHINGTON, Jan. .2.lnforniatibl
from the Army of the Potomac to the
evening of. Saturday, is as follows :
About daylight this morning our
pickets on that portion of 7 the front
line between Forts - Howard and Wads
worth, now occupied by the let and
3d brigades of the Ist corps, were sur
prised by about 300 rebels, who charg
ed upon them without any previous
warning, and drove them back within
the entrenchments, killing 2, wound
ing 3, and capturing 35. •
The rebels then gathered the blan
kets, knapsacks, &c., which our men
left at the picket post and retired to
their own lines withoutlosing a man.
The attack was so entirely unex
pected, and the affair so quickly over,
that the officers of our picket guard
had no time to even give orders to the
men, with a view to resistance, until
they had fallen back upon the en
trenetmenta.
The assault was of a most furious
character, the enemy charging with
terrific yells and firing rapidly as they
advanced. This very naturally induc
ed the belief that it was an attack in
force. The scattering fire maintained
by our pickets during their retreat
was ineffective, and the enemy did not
remain long enough for those beyond
the entrenchments to be, aroused.—
Nothing further of interest has occur
red here for a 'few days past. The
weather continues very disagreeable.
To-night wo are having a fall of snow,
which, however, melts nearly as fast'
as it descends.

Jeff Davis' Organ on the Crisis.
AN IMPORTANT ARTICLE.
The - following editorial, from the
Richmond Sentinel, has been deemed
by Secretary. Seward of such impor
tance, and so truly representing the
condition of the South. and. Jeff. Da
vis' own intentions, that ho has or
dered copies of it to be sent to our
foreign ministers, to show that the
rebel gOvernment is admitted by their
own leaders to be la failure, and that
already exhausted and acorn out, they
aro seeking a port of refuge; and this
being the case, that they be no longer
considered as "Belligerents," Those
most familiar with Jeff. Davis and his
writings, declare this to ho from his
pen. The editorial is as follows
"It becomes us coolly and calmly to
look into the circumstances of our
conditions, and adopt with firmness
and energy such a policy as wisdom
may point out and our necesslty con
strain. It is childish to whine under
misfortune. It is cowardly. to sink
' under it. A bravo man struggling
with adversity is worthy of special
admiration—a spectacle for gods and
;,men.
We think that our Into reverses
have done much towards preparing
the'minds of our people for the most
extreme sacrifices, if they shall be
Audged necessary to the successes of
our cause. And in truth they aro not
sacrifices at all, when compared with
our. situation. It subjugated, it is a
question simply whether we shall give
for our own uses, or whether tho Yan
kee shall take for theirs. Subjugation
means emancipation and confiscation.
All our servants and all our proper.
ty yielded up to assist in the defence
of our country would mean no more,
but it would be far more glorious to
devote our moans to our success than
to lose them as spoils to the enemy.—
Our situation, too; stripped of our
property, but master of the Govern
ment, would be infinitely bettor than
if despoiled by the enemy and wear
ing his bonds.
These views have long received the
theoretical assent of Our people.
They are now our practical realizing
conviction. A thousand prejudices, a
thousand consecrated -dogmas, are now
ready to ho yielded at the bidding of
necessity. Any sacrifice of opinion
and sacrifice of property, any surren
der of prejudice, if necessary to the
defeat of our enemies, is now the
Watchword and reply. Subjugation is
a horror that embraces all other hor
rors, and adds enormous calamities of
!ts own. The people see this. They
have a vivid perception of it. They
are ready on their part for the duties
which it implies. Now our:authorities,
State and Confederate, rise to the lev
el of the great occasion.
Troublesome times aro upon us.—
Great, exigencies surround us. 'We
need all our strength and our wisdom. I
Let there be a conference of all our
wise men. Lot there be a calm in
veetigatiow-or-orrr--,..L,ncia o gre,.
loguo of our resources. Then, by
common consent, let all obstacles to
the employmer.t. of these resources be
removed. So long as we have a anon
or a dollar, and the man or dollar be
needed, let the call be honored.
We must, not raise difficulties ; it is
no tithe for that. Shall we withhold
our sons and thus reserve them as
servants for the Yankees ? Shall we
send our sons and deny our negroes
Shall we spend our blood and refuse
our money'' Shall we withhold any
thing from our country when we should
be but saving it for our foe ? It is a
disgrace to a garrison to snrrender
before its ammunition is exhausted.
It would be adding disgrace to our
misery, if we wore overcome without
having first exhausted every resource
of defence. It would be doubly infa
mous to us, because, with contribu
tions. to our defence equal to the spo—
liatious wo should suffer if conquered,
our success would be assured. We
should come out of 'the contest at
least with that which would be worth
more than all the rest, our liberties
and our country. If we had thrown
overboard the cargo we should' there
by have saved the ship.
Let the Government determine what
it needs and what it can use, and if
our lands,our houses, our negroes, our
horses, our 'money, our selves, it must
have them. Strange that we should
cling most tenaciously to what is of
least moment ! Strange that we should
give ourselves and grudge property!
Our patriotism must lay aside our' sel
fishness.
It must be generous as well as brave.
Our authorities must do more. They
must take care whateVer befall us, to
save us from the Yankees. If adverse
gales and devouring billows should con.
strain our storm-tost ship into some
port, let it be no Yankee port. If an
unpropitious Providence should con
demn us to a master, let it not be a
Yankee master. Of all the people on
earth, we should have most reason to
loathe and to dread them. Any terms
with any other would be preferable to
subjugation to them.
This is the sCii tirdent; of . Onr peOple.
This is their eonvietion, and it is a wise
conviction. Lot our rulers remember
it and heed it. Our 'Constitution was
made as the development of our na
tional life. It may not provide for all
the various exigencies of war; ques
tions of State may arise in our expo.
rionce, as they have arisen in tho ex
perience of almost every other nation ;
when our best welfare will require of
our rulers the. exercise of a bold re.
sponsibility.
The acquisition of Louisiana in 1803
wasjustified only as a question ofState,
something over and above the Consti
tution, If in times of peace statesmen
have sometimes thus to throw them
solves upon the intelligence of their
countrymen, and soelc their advantage
by irregular methods, such occasions
may well be presumed more likely to
arise during a struggle for life With a
pbWerful, unscrupulous and ferocious
enemy.
The clouds that have thickened over
us admonish us of the possibility that
the , time may come when statesman
ship, if it cannot deliver us, must at
least secure to us the utmostpalliation
of our misery. if it cannot save, it
must at least save us from the Yan
kees.
We lately published from a thought
ful correspondent . a suggestion that, in
the event of being unable to sustain
our independence, we should surrender
it into the hands of those from whom
we wrested, or purchased it, into the
hands of Britain, France and Spain,
rather than yield it to the Yankees.
From the favor with which this sug
gestion has been received, wo are sure
that in the dread event which it con-
templates; our people:.Would infinitely
prefer an . alliance-with EUropeen. na
tions on terms as favorable as they
could desire; in preforOlce to the do
minion of the Yankees. We will not
dwell upon - these topics now. We
speak of them not out of gloomy fore
bodings, butosimply.asa man in health
speaks of his Twill. ~
What we ask now, in the name of
the people, Is that the Government
strain every energy and devolopo ev-
ery resource for tho public defence.
Remember that to hold back anything
is not to save it. The only question
is shall we have the use of it. The
only question is shall we have tho use
of it, or 'shad our enemies. Such a
question loaves no room to hesitate.
Upon such efforts and such devotion
neaven will surely send its blessing.
But if misfortune should still pursue
us and our hopes all fail, lot us have
the election of ; throwing ourselves into
the hands of those who aro cold and
indifferent rather than to fall under the
yoke of malignant enemies raising the
wolf's hoWl for our blood.
We could not have avoided the
struggle into which the North has for
cod us. Long ago Lincoln declared
that the Republic could not exist half
slave and half free. In various forms
the people of .0010:will pressed the is•
sue upon us. Our 'lnanities hedged us
round and finally drove us to the wall.
The worst that can happen to us in
prosecuting our defence ie the best
they designed for us in the begin
! ning, and !lir butter than they will ac
cord us if they triumph in their aims.
Providence has marked oat our path,
and both led and urged our stops. It
has been to us the inevitable path of
duty.
It' in pursuing it we fail, this wore
to fail as nations never failed before.—
Providence will not suffer us to go
down if we show a proper devotion, a
proper wisdom, and a proper courage.
Lot our wise men plan, let our brave
mon fight, and let our good mon pray.
God will open up
. 1i way of escape far
us and will disappoint ear enemies.—
Lot our faith - fail not,
The Richmond Enquirer, in. a col
umn' of editorial
. .review of the above
article, concludes-s-follows : _ A, de
cent respect for the opinions of man
kind required our ancestors when
about to dissolve 'their political bands
with Great Britain to declare the caus
es which compelled them to the separ
ation. That -high, noble precedent
was not followed by those States
"when in the course of human events
it became necessary for us to separ
ate from the United States."
The absence of such a declaration
has enabled our enemies to misrepre.
sent our cause,-and to place us before
the world as a nation seeking, not
self-government, but the perpetuation
and .extension of slavery. "Why,"
said Id_
a oc;7ale, "is there no such declar
ation, because they have but the griev
ance that they want to consolidate,
perpetuate and extend slavery."
Thus the occasion of the war has
been misunderstood and miareprosen
ted, for its causes• and the righteous
noble object of selfgovernment, for
which we are fighting, kept out of
view, and slavery perpOtually para•
ded before the world as -the corner
stone of the Confederate States.
Can we any more than our forefa•
there affect to disrekard the opinion
of mankind. The opinion of man•
kind as entertained in France ..and
England and throughout Europe, is
that of anti-slavery, and war it to be ex
pected that that opinion would revolu
tionize itself merely to divide and
dissever the United States. . •
The right of self-government was
as much at stake in the denial of our
equal rights in the Territories as that
of our forefathers was in the tax on
tea. But the enlightened opinion of
the world does not so, understand our
cause. The violent anti-slavery dis
eussion that has for thirty years pre
ceded the dissolution of tho Union,
and which as 'ofl.en pradleted civil war,
very nattn'alfried thli World to under
stand our war as solely undertaken for
the perpetuation and extension of
slavery.
The heroism and 'endurance of our
struggle despite this prejudice against
slavery, has won for our people the
undisguised admiration of the world,
but has tot and will not molify that
prejudice, or dispose the nations to re
cognize us with slavery, as they under
stand our cause, the corner-stone of
our system.
If we would reap. the rich blessings
to which our heroic strugglo entitles
us, if wo would crystalize that admi-
ration into acts of aid and comfort, we
must convince the world that we are
fighting for the self-government of the
whites and not for the Slavery of the
blacks; that the war has been forced
upon us by our enemy, for the purpose
of spoliation and subjugation ; that the
freedom of the negro was no part of
the purpose of our erfeiny, but that
commercial vassala,,,rte and dependence
prompted and impelled this cruel war.
If it be necessary to convince the
world that we are fighting for the
self-goverment of the whites, that we
should liberate the negroes, and if that
liberation can be made to secure our
recognation and the guaranty of Eng-
land and Prance to our independence,
we believe that the people of these
States would not hesitate to make the
sacrifice. In ouch a' light only do we
understand the followmg declaration
of the Richmond Sentinel. •
"We think that our late adverses
have done much towards preparing
the minds of our people for the most
extreme sacrifices if they shall be ad
judged necessary to the success of our
cause; and_in truth they are not sac
rifices at all when compared with our
situution if subjugated. It is a ques
tion simply,whether 'Ave . shall give kir
our own uses, o'r 'Whether the Yankees
shalt take for theirs."
Perhaps the time has passed for any
such deelaration of grievances to be
either proper o rprofitable,buta mani,
festo of objects and purposes, setting
forth clearly the reason that induced
us to resort to War, the manner in
which that war has been conducted,
the declaration and acts of vengeance
leveled against our persons and prop
arty, the confiscation of allestates,the
establishment of negro superiority
over our people by the enemy, the
threat of their Congress; through Win.
L. Chandler, to wage the' war for "ex
termination," and, the beginning of
that extermination, as evidenced in the
devastation ordered by Lieu — OGeneral
Grant and executed by .11Lij,-Gene.
Sheridan and Sherman, together-with
an avowal that" slaveryshall not be
permitted to prejudice our recognition
as a"nation, would wo believe, secure
our recognition and, perhaps, induce an
intervention.
These States ask recognition from
the nations of the world ; those States
believe they are justly entitled to that
recognition as a right; but the nations
of Europe will not yield us that iocog
uition, because they belieVe we have
rushed into war merely for negro sla
very. This is the belief of the great
mass of tho European people.
There aro many wise statesmen who
understand' our cause properly, but
they cannot openly advocate it, be
cause of the anti-slavery prejudice that
besets it among the people. There .
aro few mon who defend us despite
that prejudice, but their influence ex
pends itself fruitlessly upon that rook
of prejudice. The Emperor of the
'French correctly understands our sys
tem of slavery, but ho will not jeopar
dize his dynasty by doing violence to
the anti-slavery sentiment of his peo
ple. The ministry of England are an
tislavery in sentiment, and hence they
will not aid to recognize a nation
whom they believe founded upon ne
gro slavery.
`.'Subjugation means emancipatlon
and confiscation. All our' servants
and all our property yielded up to as
sist in defence of our country would
mean no more, but it would be far
more glorious to devote our means to
oar success than to lose them as spoils
to the enemy. one situation, too,
stripped of our property, but master of
the Government, would be infinitely
bettor than if despoiled by the enemy,
and wearing his bonds. These views
have long received the theoretical as
sent of our people.
"They are now our practical reali
zing conviction. A thousand prejudi
ces, a thousand concentrated' dogmas,
are now ready to be yielded at the bid
ding of necessity. Any. sacrifice of.
opinion, any sacrifice of property, any
surrender of prejudice, if necessary to
defeat our enemies, is now the watch
word and reply. Subjugation is a hor
ror that embraces all other horrors,
and adds enormous calamities of its
own. The people see this. They have
a vivid perception of it. They are
ready on their part for the duties
• which it implies."
If we have given to our cotemporary
a broader interpretation than the wri
ter designed, we d 6. not believe we
have misrepresented the determina
tion of our people. The consequences
of emancipation would fall upon the
unfortunate negro, and God would
hold responsible those who had forced
upon us the act. It is one of necessi
ty, not choice. An act taken against
our judgments and our convictions.
but to save aftitainr...the
atfrir and the disgraee, ruin
and destruction involved in the onc
e:one of our enemy.
If Franco and England will enter
into a treaty with these Confederae
States, recognizing our nationality and
guaranteeing our independence upon
the abolition of slavery in all these
States ' rather than continue the war,
wo should be prepared to urge the
measure upon our readers. We be
lieve such a proposition would be fa
vorably received and acted upin•by
those nations, and it ought to be made
to them.

DEAn GLOBE :—When I last wrote
to you, we thought we were in winter
quarters. That delusion was sudden
ly dispelled, by orders to vacate them.
We wont out in no very amiable mood,
possibly slamming the door a little,
and were once more houseloss. We
walked off a few miles, and sat down
to reflect: , I will not trouble you with
our cogitations ; bat next morning,
day rose on a long, dark column, "pul
ling out" toward the rear. It was the
famous expedition of Warren, which
destroyed Lou or fifteen miles of the
Weldon road, burning, stores and buil,
dings wherever found, lost e; few men,
whose throats were cut, quietly, by
guerillas, got drunk on apple-jack, ate
a great number of fowls, pigs, kte.,
and returned on the sixth day, weary
and footsore, but merry withal, and
accompained with a few captive reb
els, a greater number of contrabands,
and a variety of domestic animals and
birds. -If this is not the best account
of the expedition, it is beyond ques
tion, the shortest.
On the return of the troops, the 6th"
corps having occupied our fOrmer po
sition in the works, our corps was
sent rearward into the woods, near
the Jerusalem plank road, where we
have built new quarters, not to say
better, and are delighted with the
change. Our corps are picketing to.
ward the rear, but I think its' princi
pal duty at present is to supply the
place of the 2d corps, before }Tan
cock left it, a "reserve" -ready to be
thrown toward either flank. We
used to call the 2d corps "Hancock's
cavalry," and the late raid has de
monstrated our capacity to earn the
title of Warren's cavalry. Be kind
enough to note that re claim to have
the superior loader, albeit he has not
been "puffed" so thoroughly. No
slight:is meant to the noble and bril
liant leader of the 2d corps; but Gov
ernor K. Warren is an abler general,
and the Maltose Cross will not suffer
by comparison with the cloven
leaf.
Boxes from home aro coming in

THE LUMBER TRADE OF CRICA.OO.--
- Chicago is considered the greatest
lumber market in the world, and there
are but fevi who comprehend the- aff: --
ount of business dorio - 16 - 7that line in
hia — krelt — commercial. emporium of
the. West. The lumber sold by Chica
go merchants, the .greater portion of
which isbrought front Canala mid the
eastern - and._ western shores of Lake
Michigan, amounts annually to over
fifteen millions of dollars. From
thirty-two million foot received in
1847, it had reached the enormous a
mount•of four hundred and forty-four
millions of feet in - 1857, - a period of
ten years. During the year 1864
there had been received 420,532,383
feet of lumber, 5,875,000 feet of timber,
and 163,608,000 Shingles; besides
this two rafts, - aggregating 2,810' - ;
000 feet: During the year, 62, 542,300
lath, 645,864 posts,. and 10,732,000
staves have been received, besides 491,
996 railroad ties. The amount remain
ing on hand at the'present time, is 98,-
000,000 feet, against 92,000,000 feet
last year. --The increase of stock on
hand over thatof last year. is owing
to the railroad being unable to furnish
transportation, which, if afforded,
would strip the yards in a short time.
Tho Canadian lumber is considered
superior to American, the fibre.being
firmer, harder and straighter. Oixing
to the depreciated condition of o
currency, there is not as much brought
to Chicago as formerly, a much more
profitable market being found on the
other side of the Atlantic. Althongh
the demand has increased, tho supply
has not increased correspondingly, and
dealers have been enabled to put up
the price to exorbitant figures. First
class commands $6O to $65 por thous
and feet, acd common boards $22 to
$24 per thousand, being an advance
of nearly five dollars per thousand
since the close of the navigation. The
great quantities used by the Govern
, ment in the construction of bridges,
barracks, &c.,posides the large home
demand, has had a tendency to bring
the receipts and prices up to a point in
excess of any previous year.
