in be seen whether he will make a demonstration towards crossing the Pamunkey at Hanover Court House, or will move up to the Chickahominy or form a junction with Butler, and seek to throw himself on the south side of Richmond across our lines of communication, as he did at Vicksburg. It only remains to be added that Gen Lee gined or will be march over the crimson fields of Mechanicsville, Gaines's mill, and Fraser's farm? or will he try to reach the James river, form a junction with Butler, and then throw his whole army across the Richmond and Petersburg and the Richmond and Danville railroads, and thus cut our communications with the more Southern States? This last plan would be in accordance with the movement by which he enveloped Vicksburg, and destroyed all hope of the ear. Butler is already firmly fixed on the narrow neck of land at Bermuda Hundreds, his flanks and rear protected by the James and Appomattox rivers, and his front by a formidable line of entrenchments.

a, Slashes of Hanover, May 27, 1864. At an early hour this morning it was ascertained that Grant had withdrawn his army under cover of darkness last night to the north bank of the North Anna, aattempt that might be made against either wing of his army. This disposition of his forces left Grant room to throw the greater part of his own army across to the south bank. The latter had exactedginia, Banks of the Chickahominy, May 29. You have already been advised of the movement of Grant's army down the east bank of the Pamunkey. This change of front made it necessary for Gen Lee tfied with the situation, never more resolute, and never more confident of success. But will Grant move against Richmond by the route taken by McClellan? Can he expect, after his experience at Sby the James and Appomattox rivers, and his front by a formidable line of entrenchments. Should Grant once succeed in forming a junction with him, and especially in transferring his army to the sout

measurable power, should be so terrible in battle, and yet so calm and gentle and devout in the hour of peace. It has been unusually quiet to day; not a gun has been fired along the lines. Nor is it probable that there will be a battle very soon. Yesterday evening there was a severe engagement between portions of Hampton's and Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry commands and the Federal cavalry, but I am not informed of the details, and shall not attempt to go into details. I only know that it is reported that the Fifth South Carolina, Colonel Dannovant, and the Twentieth Georgia Battalion, Maj. Miller, a portion of the new cavalry forces that come on recently from the South, were engaged, behaved very handsomely, and suffered considerably. They repulsed the enemy's cavalry and drove them back upon Warren's corps, which they also attacked. It was here that they suffered most. It is said that Major Miller was killed, with many others, and that Colonel Dunnovant lost an arm. Sallust.

It remains in be seen whether he will make a demonstration towards crossing the Pamunkey at Hanover Court House, or will move up to the Chickahominy or form a junction with Butler, and seek to throw himself on the south side of Richmond across our lines of communication, as he did at Vicksburg. It only remains to be added that Gen Lee has made such a disposition of his own forces as to completely checkmate this last move of the enemy. Sallust. Army Northern Virginia, Banks of the Chickahominy, May 29. You have already been advised of the movement of Grant's army down the east bank of the Pamunkey. This change of front made it necessary for Gen Lee to abandon his very strong position behind the North Anna, and to march down the south side of the Pamunkey. Grent had twelve hours the start of him, however, having taken advantage of the darkness on the night of the 26th and put his whole army in motion. He had the advantage also of a shorter

uiet, its huge arms unstrung, its fleet feet still — I could but reflect, and wonder as I reflected, that this vast machine, this mighty giant, this great, unmeasured, and immeasurable power, should be so terrible in battle, and yet so calm and gentle and devout in the hour of peace. It has been unusually quiet to day; not a gun has been fired along the lines. Nor is it probable that there will be a battle very soon.

This last plan would be in accordance with his flanks and rear protected by the James and Appomattox rivers, and his front by a formidable line of entrenchments. Should Grant once succeed in forming a junction with him, and especially in transferring his army to the south side of the James river, he might take position behind the Appomattox, occupy Petersburg, and cut the only two railroad lines by which our supplies are drawn. I say he might do this — It should be added, provided he did not have Lee and Beauregard to contend with.

[from our own Correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia, Slashes of Hanover, May 27, 1864. At an early hour this morning it was ascertained that Grant had withdrawn his army under cover of darkness last night to the north bank of the North Anna, and was moving down the east side of that river in the direction of West Point. As intimated in a former letter, Gen Lee's lines extended along the range of hills on the south side of the North Anna, except on his flanks, where they took en.--Grent is a hard headed man, however, as well as a hard fighter, and, like most hard headed men, he has come very near having his head broken.

Prisoners say he has promised his men that he will not require them to attack Confederate breastworks any more, nor will he expect them hereafter to do any but the most necessary work on the Sabbath. If this be true then he will find it necessary to attack Richmond from some other point than the Chickahominy. What route will he take?
