SUUTHERN NEWS. — THE PHYSICAL PROSPECTS OF THE REBELS BAD. —— THEY MAKE A STAND ON THBIR MORAL TUNE, Sg REBBL NEWS PROM THE RAPIDAN. eee agen es [From the Richmond Enquurer, Sept. 21.) ‘The present position of military affairs pre- | Sents no very encouraging prospect. We seo military lines daily changing, and ever against | Ga; State after State overrun; the enemy, as it were, ever gaining ground. We have been re- pulsed from Pennsylvania, driven trom Ten. nessee. Louisiana and Mississippi, and Arkan. sas and Missouri are all nearly overrun. The pozsicat Prospect of the war presents but little Fight and encouraging. But fortunately this is the worst aspect of affairs. ‘When we look at the moral aspect of the Confederate cause we see no reason for appre- hension. Deteats producea natural depression, but no despondency paralyzes exertions, or ex- cites the craven desire tor submission. (ettye- burg, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Cumberland Gap, have not af- fected the moral courage of the Confederate cause. Treason, if it lurks anywhere, has not dared toshow its hideous head even in this dark day of the cause. Sympathy for the Union, desire for reconstruction, is as dead as Capital of Pennsylvania. A single victory ‘would reinstate all tne joy, and hope, and con- ficence that gleamed throu,hont the Vonfeder- despair and despondency that existed after tha fall of Winchester. No matter how discoar- aging the physical aspect of affairs a appear, as long as the moral courage of the people maintains unbroken its proud defiance of the enemy, we shall have ne cause to fear for our | uilimate success. THE QUESTION OF EXCHANGE. {From the Richmond Whig, Sept. 23.) Judge Ould, in his interview with General Meredith, the Yankee commissioner, submitted | 2. proposition which, if acceded to, will secure the exchange and return of all our officers now held in Yankee prisons. Gen. Meredith, who , is not yested with any authority, will commu- | niicate the proposal to the an thorities in Wash- ington. The exchange of therank and file will be proceeded with. ¥ROM THH RAPIDAN. (From the Richmond Whig, Sept. 23. i The usual announcement of ‘all quiet” was varied yesterday by the passengers on the Cen- tral train by the report that firing was heard ia | the direction of the Rapidan. This, however, is not an unusual occurrence. There ary no lurther indications of the purpose of Meade to advance.

Solomon, while looking to the 3aiety of his dwelhng, corner of Second and E streets west, discovered. & man in the chamber occupied by two white female servants of his family. He notified the stranger to leave, to the confusion of the ser- vants and their guest, but making the best of a bad case, the tellow bade the young women “good night” and started away. Instead of going off, he went around to the rear of the dwelling and tried to return to his female com- panions. He was again stopped and ordered away; but this time the girls got their backs up in consequence of embargo laid upon their visitor. One of them went so far as to threnten to throw a pitcher at Mr. Solomon. Officer Eckloff and Watts were called apon to arrest them, and the result was that both slept in the Fourth Ward Station. Aun Keary claimed that the man is her brother, a wounded soldier; and Catharine Kelly, her companion, had agreed to give up her bed tohim that he might sleep there that night. Justice Giberson gave them # lecture on the impropriety of such conduct, even to accommodate a brother, but they behaved so decently before him, that the Justice dismissed the case without further punishment. —_.__ Rospery.—Saturday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, the house of Bartholomew Dundas, on F street north, between Tenth and Eleventh etreets west, was entered by & thief during the absence of the inmates, and atrunk containing $582 in gold, $2) in silver, $85 in Treasury notes, and about #200 Mm clothing and jewelry, was stolen.
