lery, and probably some exchange of shots between the sharpshooters, but nothing approximating a general engagement, or even an assault at any point. Fewer shells than usual fell within the city limits yesterday, and but little damage was done. Grant seems to have adopted the expedient of sending out raiding parties, one of which, under Spear, has already started, and, it is reported. has succeeded in cutting the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad. This expedition, it is said, was moving througorks. It appears that the original purpose of the discomfited raider was to keep on down the north bank of the Mattaponi to Gloucester Point, and there cross the river to York town but this programme was changed, it is supposed, by an order from Grant, directed him to retrace his steps to the James, Consequently, he crossed the Mattaponi at Ferry, and is believed to have reached the White House during the night of Monday. On Tuesday morning, we learn, the enemy throw out a line of skirmis

Grant's last Flanking operation. The Yankees, who crossed over to Deep Bottom a day or two ago, and fortified themselves there, have not, as yet, developed their object, so far as to make it intelligible to those of the outside world. Yet it is no doubt perfectly understood by General Lee, who has thus far shown that he has an intuitive knowledge of all Grant's intentions, even before they are matured in his own mind. Under the confident belief that such is the fact, we, and the peoplenemy an eye that is never closed, and a vigilance that never slumbers in the presence of danger. It is possible that Grant means to undertake the siege of both cities at the same time. This is condemned as bad tactics by Napoleon, being the evn, as he hoped to do at Petersburg. Some imagine that it is the commencement of a grand retreat down the Peninsula a la McClellan. But we hardly think Grant is prepared for that yet. It will take two or three more beatings to put him on the run.
