The Daily Dispatch: June 11, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
There is no news of interest from Gen. Lee's army. Grant is reported still to be busily engaged in fortifying in our front, and evidently does not design to accept or offer battle again until he is reinforced; even then opinions differ as to whether he will fight in his present position, or attempt to make his way to James river, where he would have the co-operation of the gunboats and Butler's forces on the Southside. Whatever may be his intention, our army is ready to-day to enter into a general engagement, with the utmost confidence as to the result. Accounts from Bottom's Bridge represent everything quiet in that direction. Sheridan's movements. An official dispatch, received yesterday, states that Sheridan's forces encamped on Thursday night at New Market, in Spotsylvania county, about five miles from Childsburg, and ten miles south of Spotsylvania Court-House. We have good authority for stating that Gen. Hampton was between them and Gordonsville. A citize

not as honorable as they might be, perhaps, discussing the relative positions of Lee and Grant with great vehemence, and demonstrating how Grant will flank Lee and gLee and get to Richmond, or how Lee will flank Grant and try to get to Washington — every proposition happily illustrated by an engraving with the point of a walking stick inLee will flank Grant and try to get to Washington — every proposition happily illustrated by an engraving with the point of a walking stick in the dust of the side walk. [Washington is a good place for such illustrations. You can always sketch out a map of the sidewalk.] The "artist" makes a straight lint would be very strange if Grant couldn't swing his line around into the rear of Lee's and march into the rebel capital. In the ardor of their patriotism the citizen campaigners usually neglect to give Lee a chance to fortify — or even to fail back before the invincible columns of the Union leaders. --Here's Grant; here's Lee, where, compared with this laconic demonstration of the great problem of Grant as Lee. Walking stick strategy is the thing after all. It will break the back bone of t<

the ignoring of a battle in which 15,000 men were slain or wounded, is the most astounding feat of that sort on record. The rest of the paragraph is quite in character, although not upon so large a scale. There the lie direct is conspicuous. Gen. Lee says that the attack there alluded to was repulsed with ease, and everybody who was in the fight says that the slaughter of the enemy considering the extent of the front, and the numbers engaged, was even more terrific than it was in the morning. With regard to the attack upon Heth's division, the language of Gen. Lee is quite as emphatic, It was repulsed with the utmost ease, and the Yankees took no rifle-pits. It is to be hoped that Stanton puts into Grant's mouth such words as he thinks proper. We can hardly believe that Grant himself, who is a soldier, though a most butcherly and inhuman one, would descend quite so far. But what a commentary do these telegrams form upon that Government which requires them, and upon the neces

he scales of battle appear to be counted. The London Morning Port sees no appreciable advantages on either side, but on the following day expressed a conviction that the Federals had sustained a crushing defeat. The London Star thinks that General Grant paid very dear for his victory, and regards his success as indecisive. The London Morning Herald pronounces the advance on Richmond a failure, and hopes the South has passed the last fiery orders!. The London Globe thinks Gen. Lee has fully succeeded in barring the road of Gen. Grant to Richmond. An English Apology for a Sin. The only reference to the fact that the "Report of Mr. Mallory" is a forgery, yet made by the journal which first reproduced the report in England, is sufficiently curious to be placed on record. As surely it is a most ingenious attempt to distil precious medicine from noisome weeds. We copy from the Daily News, of 22d ult.: To the Editor of the Daily News: Sir: It appears
