, but no individual movement that could be avoided. Soldiers not on duty hung over their camp-fires in their bombproof and log-houses, and sighed for the return of fair weather. Even had the weather been favorable, it now seems doubtful whether Grant was making ready for so early an advance upon our lines as we had all agreed to expect.--The Northern papers announced that he has gone to visit his family in New Jersey; and as he left the James before the setting in of the now prevailing wind sday morning, but were quickly driven back. Since then they have kept quiet. Burnside, after nearly four months of disgrace on account of his miserable failure at the Battle of the Mine, has again returned to the command of the Ninth corps. Grant and Hancock alone are now absent, as old Butler, also, has rejoined the Army of the James. The Army of the Potomac now consists of the Second corps, General Parke; the Fifth corps, General Warren; the Ninth corps, General Burnside. The Army

That draft, according to General Fry's report, could not have yielded men enough to supply the waste in one of Grant's great battles, to say nothing of the desertions and of the losses from sickness — always far greater than those from battle. Taking as a standard General Fry's official report of the result of the draft of 1863 for three hundred thousand men, the draft of 1864 for five hundred thousand men will yield to the Federal army thirteen thousand three hundred and thirty-three men, and no more. In order to add a force of five hundred thousand bona fide flesh and blood men to the army, he would ha
