, and all supposed that an other death struggle for the mastery was about to occur. Fortunately the precautions taken by our great chief were so wise, and his dispositions so admirable, that all the brave Confederate soldier had to do, when he rose from his dreams on the ground behind the entrenchments, was to reach out for his trusty musket. As you were informed by my letter of the 16th and by Gen Lee's official dispatches, the enemy moved a portion of his forces to the east bank of the Ny; in the direction of the Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad. The opinion prevailed at the time that Grant was trying to throw his army to the east side of the Mattapoul, and that he would probably move down the stream to Bowling Green, and possibly to West Point, where he would form a junction with Butler and Smith. Doubtless he desired to produce this impression upon Gen Lee, as in that event he might reasonably "calculate" that the latter would make a corresponding movement to the east.

ly but wise maxim which teaches us not to shout until we get out of the woods. After all, these movements on the right and feeble attacks on the left may have a meaning which we do not yet fully understand. The prisoners report, also, the arrival of a division yesterday under Gen. Angur, composed of the sweepings of the hospitals, jails, and provost guard houses. These are believed to be the last reinforcements that can be sent to Grant, unless a portion of the forces operating in North Georgia and against Richmond from below are recalled. It is not improbable that the arrival of Augur's division, and intelligence of the defeat of Butler by Beauregard, may have influenced Grant to order the attack. Augur's troops, like Burnside's "black spirits and white," will be worth but little in the hour of trial. The number of wounded men left by the enemy in the two field hospitals, which he abandoned a few days ago was not 2,400, as I was informed at the time by a staff officer h

Accordingly, when Grant commenced the assault this morning upon what was formerly our right way open to an advance, as he had hoped he would do. The truth is, Grant, while a bold leader and an able commander, is no more a match to oified, when we recollect how quickly and successfully he penetrated Grant's designs and anticipated him at the Wilderness, and especially whe from the Second and Sixth corps, who, in response to a call from Gen Grant, had volunteered their services in the attack.

the lines since the great battle of the 10th was broken at an early hour this morning. At dawn of day, before any of us but the brave men who keep watch in the trenches had left our blankets, the enemy opened a furious artillery fire upon Major General Gordon, of Ewell's corps. Of course Gen Long, formerly of Gen Lee's Staff, and now commanding the artillery of Ewell's corps, was not slow in returning this early morning salutation of the Federal army. For nearly two hours the cannonade equall privilege of purchasing others without restriction. There is no danger that officers will abuse the privilege as long as their own pay remains so small and the price of provisions so high. It is a disgrace to subject Lee and Longstreet, Ewell, Gordon, Kershaw, and thousands of others, who have fought and bled as men seldom ever fought and bled before, to the annoyance and vexation to which they are daily exposed in order to obtain their stinted rations.
