REBELS MAKE POMPOUS CLAIM: WASHINGTON TO FALL THIS YEAR
Novemeber 22, 1863
After the Advance of General LEE was stopped at Gettysburg and his troops chased back to Richmond,
it was expected that the rebels would try to concentrate their forces and prepare for a new campain in spring.
However, it now appears that the rebel forces are trying to launch a new attack before the winter.
US Federal sources inside the rebel army have reported that Lee held an impressive speech,
promising that Washington D.C. would be in Confederate hands by the end of the next month.
The Defense secretary however stressed that this was impossible. Lee's troops are currently held south of the Rappahannock river, over 50 miles south of Washington D.C., by General Meade's army of the potomac.
