authentic advices from the front, received later in the day, dissipated all rumors of battle. On the north and south sides all was quiet. The impression that Grant would make an attack before the election is wearing away, as he let yesterday go by without any demonstration. The telegraph informs us he is engaged taking a cenous voters into battle to-day, or even to- morrow. It would, doubtless, strengthen the Lincoln vote, to have it flashed through the country, on election day, that Grant had made a "combined attack upon Richmond and Petersburg, and was driving the rebels before him," or something to that effect.

There are very serious doubts, indeed, among the best disposed of his friends and admirers outside of the city whether he ever will take it at all; while inside of it there does not exist a doubt upon the subject, so far as we have been able to learn. The Congress of the Confederate States, at least, must feel entirely secure upon that point, or they would hardly have ventured within the sound of his guns, knowing what a prise they would be should be capture the city and make prisoners of them all.
