Another report is that McClellan is new with Grant, and acting as a restraint upon his impetuosity; in other word, those who believe this story pretend to see in it a reason why Grant does not offer batted to GenerGrant does not offer batted to General Lee. The report, however, may be but if so, and if McClellan has any in fnce over Grant's actions, the latter would hardly be apt to select the Peninsula as a line of operations. McClellan tried that route once, and abandoned it in grief and despair; and the experiment cost him his camels, as well as the soubriquet of the "YoGrant's actions, the latter would hardly be apt to select the Peninsula as a line of operations.

The train last evening brought down one hundred and forty prisoners, taken by Mahone's command in Tuesdays fight. The affair in Charles City county. We have received some further particulars of the affair in Charles City county, to which brief allusion was made yesterday. The expedition, which consiste
any advantage we might gain be so well followed up if our lines were further advanced. In other words, the public may rest assured that Gen Lee has placed his forces exactly where they should be placed. The Federals have eyes as well as we, and Grant has very sharp eyes, and he and they know what is here stated just as well as we do. But will Grant attempt to cross three rivers — the North Anna, Little river, and the South Anna — and move upon Richmond by this line, or will he march furtGrant attempt to cross three rivers — the North Anna, Little river, and the South Anna — and move upon Richmond by this line, or will he march further around to the right and below the points of confluence of these streams, and endeavor to cross one--the Pamunkey --at or near Hanover Court-House? The reconnaissances which he has made since his arrival here were undertaken, doubtless, to enable him to decide this very question. It is reported that he moved a considerable force yesterday up the North Anna upon our left; if this be true it is not improbable that he has decided that it is better to attempt to effect the passage of a single

Yesterday evening Mahone, who was commanding Anderson's division assented Laidley's brigade of the enemy, who had crossed at Oxford Mills, capturing some sixty prisoners, among them an via of Gen L's. About the same time the enemy attempted to make a lodgment for his sharpshooters in front of Rodes a division, but Rodes's skirmishers quickly drove them off. To day there has been nothing done save slight skirmishing. I still incline to the opinion that Grant is too much worsted to make an immediate fight, and the fact that he is entrenching and fortifying substantiates it. As showing the extent to which the Yankee army has been cut up in the recent engagements, I give you the following figures in regard to the losses sustained by a Massachusetts regiment an the late fights.

Owing to the quantity of artillery used to-day the injures of the wounded are of a meet ghastly character. Many men were brought to the hospital literally shot to pieces. The rebels generally threw shrapnel or spherical case, with a few solid shot.--Are they short of other kinds of artillery ammunition? Gen Grant was making an attempt to turn Lee's left flank, which was quite weak yesterday; but Lee, suspecting the manæuvre, had strengthened his left during the night, and we found them strongly posted this morning. The Corcoran Legion, which joined us yesterday, probably suffered as severely as any corps in the engagement Col Murphy, commanding it, was wounded, and has had his arm amputated The charge upon the first line of rebel works was an exciting scene.
