The Peninsula.

The grand army of the Federal seems to have been transported from the neighborhood of Washington to the Peninsula, which they have probably concluded is a shorter and easier road to Richmond than that via Manassas, which we have courteously placed at their disposal. But if the road by Manassas is bad, that by the Peninsula may not prove much better. Whether the movement is a feint to cover an attack on some other point, remains to be seen. Gen. Magruder has not been asleep on his post at any time, and at the present moment, he must be a very wide awake man indeed who catches him napping. We have great confidence in this brilliant and energetic officer, and in the heroic veterans under his command. The glorious memories of Bethel will not be tarnished in their hands, and Yorktown, we devoutly hope, will prove a second time the scene of a nation's deliverance.
