c cause. It is possible that the Yankees apprehend some retaliation from the Confederates, and have concluded to suspend the barbarous practice of shelling Petersburg until future events are revealed. Meanwhile, the summer is fleeting away, and Grant has suffered works to elapse without advancing a single step towards the "back door" of the . If he accomplishes no more in the month to come than he has done in the month past, he may as well give it up as a hopeless undertaking. The train ly also state that Burnside is still in front of Petersburg; but Yankees are proverbial for their mendacity, and we give their assertions for what they are worth. It will be remembered that Burnside's corps was reported to have been detached from Grant's army, and sent to some unknown point — Washington, according to rumor. The enemy are occupying their leisure time in foraging upon the country below Petersburg, and are said to have completely destroyed the limited crops in that section. I
