These positions are both in our hands, and we hardly think they will be abandoned without a struggle. How capable they are of defence McClellan made it appear upon his retreat. Being now in our possession, we shall be in the position that McClellan was then, and Grant will be in the position that Gen. Lee then occupied.McClellan was then, and Grant will be in the position that Gen.

Thus far Grant has been unable to make the slightest impression upon these positions. On the contrary, he has been repulsed in every attack he has made, most signally and most murderously.

Now, we are well aware that Raymond is one of those happily constituted persons who can always hear agreeable news. And yet we have a great curiosity to know how he learned all this. Gentlemen who left the front not two hours ago tell us that all McClellan's positions are in our possession, not Grant's. Has Grant gotten possession of Mechanicsville, or Colll, or the Grape Vine Bridge, on the northern side of the Chickahominy, or, on the south side, McClellan's enormous works in the rear of Seven Pines, or Savage Station, or Frazier's farm, or White Oak Swamp, or Malvern Hill?--All these were in possession of McClellan, and he fought a battle and was whipped at each one of them.
