nother Vicksburg, we can assuredly perceive reasons of abounding hope in the present aspect of affairs. Our military operations are now reduced to a much simpler form, and a form much more likely to give us speedy and decisive results than ever before. We operate directly upon the two great armies in which is centred the power of the rebellion, and our operations against them for the last two months have certainly been productive of very great results. General Grant has not only driven Lee from the Rapidan to the Appomattox, and destroyed a third of the enemy's army, but he has gotten in the strategical rear of Richmond, from which he can operate against it with the greatest possible incivility. Already, by his great cavalry operations, he has nearly isolated Richmond from the rest of the rebel Confederacy, and every day of every week will see him vigorously pushing on this work, from which we anticipate the greatest results. The aspect of affairs in Georgia is all that r

watched, and properly attended to whenever they attempt any movement. Grant we are convinced, is preparing another flank movement, which is to take him out into Chesterfield, and this movement on his right is the premonitory symptom. --What he expects to make in Chesterfield we do not know, unless it is to get possession of the railroads on the Southside and thus cut us off from our communication with the South.

Probably Grant is dividing his forces, in order that he may send out two great marauding expeditions at the same time one on the North and the other on the South. Upon the whole, the military situation has never looked so promising as

Mining Petersburg. The rumor that Grant is mining Petersburg is nonsensical. If it were practicable, what could he gain by it? It is more likely that he would attempt to undermine Gen. Lee's positions, whilst keeping up a great clatter with bombshells on Petersburg. It is not probable, however, that any attempt to undermine Gen. Lee would first be discovered outside the army.

500 dollars reward. --Ran away from the subscriber about the 1st of February last, boy John, about 14 or 15 years old, right copper color, with short, straight hair; had on when he left a new suit of cotton clothes, dyed stuff color. John was purchased of Dr Wright, of Alabama. I have no doubt he is with our army. The above reward will be paid for his apprehension and delivery to Lee & Bowman, Richmond, Va, or secured in any jail so that I get him. Wm. H. Gwin. jy 14--1m
