of Yankees had been moved over to the north side of James river. It is stated that the water obtained in Prince George is so impure as to cause great mortality in Grant's army, and that this movement has been resorted to as a sanitary measure. We only hope that they may every where find the water as bitter as that of the Dead Seat we are assured that there has been no material change in the situation. The belief prevails in some quarters that a great battle cannot much longer be delayed. Grant is probably holding council with Lincoln, who is reported to have gone to the "front"--(he will doubtless keep as far to the rear as possible)--upon his future plans, and as soon as they are decided upon the grand struggle for supremacy may be inaugurated. Under the stimulating affects of Grant's whiskey, Old Abe will promise an abundance of men to fill up the gaps created by Confederate bullets, and then the Yankees will be sent into the fight like sheep to the slaughter.

Northern papers of Saturday, the 25th, contain some additional news of interest: Dispatches from Grant's Army. Headquarters Army of the Potomac, June 23, 6 A. M. --Wilson's division of cavalry have moved all in the direction of the Weldon railroad. When last heard from they had reached Station, and were tearing up the track. The Second and Sixth Corps moored from their old position on the right towards the Weldon railroad. Lee seems to have anticipated a movement can find no place of insurance. While, therefore, we may hear at any moment that Petersburg, a compact and combustible city, has been reduced to a heap of ashes (such is war) and vacated in consequence by the enemy, we do not suppose that Gen.

Gen. Grant A Northern journal asserts that the only reason the Western troops have been more successful than the Northern in this war is that Gen. Grant was their commander. It is idle to eGen. Grant was their commander. It is idle to expect in any Northern newspaper the language of reason, sobriety, or truth. The Western troops may not be braver or more resolute than the Northern, but they are hardier, more accustomed to the use oers, and, in some instances, of our own mismanagement. Certainly, it was not the generalship of Grant to which the credit is due. He was whipped repeatedly there, and never achieved a success exceptf other men to danger affords any proof of it. In military genius there is no comparison between Grant and McClellan. The boasted achievement of transferring his army from the north to the south bane he pressed Lee on the Rapidan ? And finally, if the Western army succeeded because it had Ulysses S. Grant at its head, why has not the Northern army succeeded under the same chieftainship ? To assu
