ught and won. Henceforth the engagements on this line will be for the capture of Richmond. That Grant has now no show of success it is scarcely necessary for me to say.

By this time Beauregard discovered that Grant, with his entire force, which was scarcely a handful, and, by a miracle of God, saved the Cockadas been unmarked by any event of striking interest, and the following seems to be the situation: Grant's right rests on the James river near Bermuda.

f it takes three years more. I would, however, safely make the prediction that Grant, with Hancock and Meade, is to night where he will never be dislodged until Richmond is taken. If I shall discover that Grant's noble officers and men need assistance to put this thing through, will you give it to me? [Yes, all answered] Wellthen, I intend to call on you, and I want you to stand by me and the army. Grant's crossing to the Southside.

ss the Appomattox, by Jorden's farm, to the Jerusalem plankroad, a distance of 7 miles. The weather is intensely warm, but our troops are in excellent plight, though constantly subjected to the heat and fatigue of lying in the trenches. Grant's purpose is not yet developed. It is supposed, however, he is meditating another of his grand raids. Our losses in all the fights of the last week for the possession of this place are not over one thousand in killed and wounded. That of t in all the fights of the last week for the possession of this place are not over one thousand in killed and wounded. That of the enemy is computed at five to six thousand. Beauregard's defence and preservation of the city is regarded by all as the most brilliant achievement of the war, having, with an inferior force, confronted and successfully kept back Grant's whole army. The enemy are reported crossing more troops from the north to the south side of the Appomattox this evening.

Grant's failure We re-publish, from the Nashville Union, the subjoined exposition of Grant's Grant's plan for taking Richmond, with a two-fold object.

ever we hear that a particular district has been ravaged, it is, solely because we know that no such visitation is necessary to rouse the inhabitants. The raids, from which the Yankees expected so much, have been productive of no good to them, whatever injury they may have inflicted on the inhabitants. Burning houses, mills, and barns, robbing the inhabitants, and stealing the negroes, do not advance the Yankee cause in the slightest degree, while they make soldiers of all who suffer.
