Henry Ward Beecher says that he would give all his children to see New England ideas prevailing in the South. We have no doubt of that; but would he give himself? If so, why has he not volunteered in the Federal army? With his amazing powers of blowing up people, General Grant would have found him invaluable in the mines before Petersburg. When we first saw this saying of Brother Beecher, we felt wrathful in the extreme, and, if he had been anywhere within reach, we would have collared him on the spot and compelled him to come home with us, and eat a Confederate dinner. But, after reflection, humane and charitable sentiments expelled the suggestions of revenge and cruelty.

The news. The Richmond and Petersburg lines. Grant has again been massing his troops on Hatcher's run, on our extreme right, ten miles southwest of Petersburg, and it is thought that another attempt by his columns to gain the Southside railroad was prevented by the rain of Saturday. We think there can be little doubt that he will make this attempt so soon as the state of the roads will permit. In their present miry condition, the movement of artillery is out of the question. Grant Grant has enough of the gambler in his character for the disastrous failure of his last advance towards the railroad to make him but the more impatient to renew the attempt. At present, the extreme left, which may properly be considered the advance of the Yankee army, occupies a position on the left or north side of Hatcher's run, between nine and ten miles southwest of Petersburg, and about five miles in a direct line from the Southside railroad. From the South. The usual number of Su
