Lee (search for this): article 1
ost tremendous and decisive of all the battles of the war has been commenced in that awful graveyard of Union and rebel armies, the blood-stained hills and plains of old Virginia. From sources apparently well informed, we learn that the army of Gen. Lee, within the last thirty days, has been swelled from forty-five thousand to ninety thousand men, and that they are nearly all veterans.--What the forces of Gen. Grant are in the aggregate we cannot conjecture; but we are assured that they are ampvis and his followers. In the present exhausted condition of the rebellions States, with all their able-bodied men in the field, and with all their scanty materials of subsistence subject to forced contributions, the moral effect of the defeat of Lee will be a speedy collapse of the rebellion. On the other hand while a victory over Gen. Grant, in Virginia, may revive the sinking fortunes of Davis, nothing else will save him beyond the summer's campaign. Hence we cannot doubt that he has reso

Grant, we await the issue of the grand impending struggle. Dismissal of Admiral Wilkes. Admiral Wilkes has been dismissed by court martial from the United States service. Among the queer things uncovered by the Wilkes court martial is the successful endeavor of Sanford, the Yankee Minister at Brussels, to have the war-frigate Vanderbilt used to collect a claim of his against a South American State of $150,000. Commodore Wilkes says in his defence: On the 15th of May I received a dispatch from the American Minister at Brussels, saying he had been advised by the Secretary of the Navy in regard to a visit to Laguayra by one of my squadron, and adding, "I hope that you or one of your squadron will be able at an early day to touch at Laguayra, or I fear

A greater portion failed to participate in it for the reason that they were held under the power of the rebel army. Practically the 7th Congressional district of Virginia, the scene of some of the fiercest and bloodiest conflicts of arms in the whole war, is still a battle ground. Mr. Smith, (Ky,) of minority of the committee, contended there was prime facte evidence that Mr. Kitchen was the choice of his district. Mr. Whaley (W.

Grant has made of this Virginia campaign; that he does not underrate the enemy's strength and their desperate energy in collecting all their available forces, and that he has made his dispositions for a successful conflict with the largest army that Davis can muster in Virginia without absolutely abandoning his base of supplies in Georgia, with an easy confidence, therefore, in the final result of this Virginia campaign, a confidence which could not entertain while the army of the Potomac was subject to the manipulations of the old blundering Washington directory — with that unqualified and unquestioning confidence which is felt by the public at large in the success of Gen.
