The commanding officer on Morris Island will be duty noticed of the fact of their presence in the shelled district, and if his batteries still continue their wanton and hazardous work, it will be at the peril of the captive officers.

Grant's bill of fare. --It is said that Grant expects to eat his Fourth of July dinner in Richmond. We should not be surprised if he did. If such should be the case, the following will be the bill of fare: 4 oz Confederate bacon. ½ cup of peas 1 corn dodger. James river water ad libitum. Dessert.--One corn-cob pipe filled with Roanoke tobacco, and reelections on the uncertainly of human affairs. This collation will be served at the Hotel de Libby.-- Macon Coill of fare. --It is said that Grant expects to eat his Fourth of July dinner in Richmond. We should not be surprised if he did.

The Baltimore Gasdle, of the 16th, says that the campaign in Northern and Eastern. Virginia has been brought to a close. After pushing from the Rapidan to the Chickahominy with indomitable resolution, but with a terrible sacrifice of life, Grant has concluded to abandoned the line on which, at one time, he declared his determination to fight it out if it look all the summer, and to commence a new campaign against the defences of Richmond from the south side or James river.--Gen. Grant haGen. Grant has established his headquarters at Bermuda Landing. He will proceed to invest Fort. Drewry, the capture of which is regarded as an absolute accidently. Gen Sheridan's expedition. A scout who arrived at Washington from the front, Tuesday night (14th) says that Sheridan's cavalry force, which started out Thursday, on an extended raid, had not been heard from when he left; but it was the impression in the army that he had reached Charlottesville, on his way to Lynchburg. The rebel ca

A significant fact. --A large proportion of the Yankee prisoners captured by Gen Pickett, near Port Walthall, on Friday, were sixty and ninety-day recruits. This is an important fact, insomuch as it proves that Grant's army has been greatly depleted by the withdrawal of those of his veteran regiments whose term of service has expired, and he is now compelled to throw in the field inexperienced recruits, who were originally enlisted to guard the prisons and fortifications at the North.

end to guess. But whatever the motive of the announcement, it is none the less true. Supposing Grant to take Richmond, and not to take Lee's army, how long would it take to conquer the South?--After Grant had taken Pemberton, he was unable to follow Johnston's little force more than forty miles. After he had overwhelmed Bragg's inferior forces, he was driven back in his very first attempt to fd fall back and fight, and come round and fight, whilst guerillas would swarm in multitudes upon Grant's whole line of supplies. It is, therefore, of the last importance to Grant that he should captGrant that he should capture Lee's army, and we may calculate with confidence that nothing less than this has been and is his design, and that no effort or stratagem will be left untried for that purpose. We have no fears for Richmond, not the slightest, nor any reverence for Grant as a great General. His object being the capture of Richmond and Gen. Lee's army, what evidence of generalship was there in permitting

Raymond on Gen. Lee. The "Little Villain" of the New York Times is laboring to achieve a peculiar notoriety by a defamatory attack upon the ancestry and character of Gen. Lee. This is a much more agreeable process to persons of Raymond's calibre than attacking Gen. Lee with ball and bayonet. Raymond is evidently of opinion that the pen is mightier than the sword. If Grant can't fight Lee out of Richmond, perhaps Raymond can write him out. A prodigious whopper, shot out of the Times's long-range cannon, at the safe distance of New York, is the exact description of weapon suited to the capabilities of the nimble heeled varlet, whose memorable flight from Solferino made him the laughing stock of the world. We don't know what measures Gen. Lee proposes to take in vindication of his honor. The specific charge brought against our beloved Chieftain by Raymond is mendacity. He accuses Gen. Lee of falsehood in his bulletins. If Gen. Lee has one virtue more predominant than any oth

The Fourth of July. About two years ago the Yankees boasted that they would celebrate their 4th of July in Richmond. Their Grand Army, headed by the ablest of their Generals, was then on the same spot it now occupies. They are again full of prophecy and patriotism. Grant, who celebrated his last 4th in Vicksburg, will celebrate the next 4th in Richmond !--Perhaps so! But the Scripture saith: "Let not him that putteth on his harness boast himself like him that taketh it off."

From Petersburg. Petersburg, June 19. --Grant's whole army is in front of this place in line of battle. There has been more or less fighting every day since Wednesday, and the enemy have been generally repulsed, gaining little or no ground since Wednesday, when they got within one and a half miles of the city, taking some of our works, which they still hold. Occasional shells have been thrown into the city, doing, however, but little damage. Grant's now base is at City Point, on James river, twelve miles distant. The enemy have constructed an immense observatory about twelve miles below, from which to observe operations hereabouts. some cannonading and heavy skirmishing. The people of Petersburg are quiet and resolute, all who are able to bear arms being in the service. The bulk of Grant's army is south of the Appomattox. Advices from Lynchburg say that the enemy have been pursued since day break, and that we have captured three pieces of arti
