Last year we had it when Stoneman got within the rebel works of Richmond, and finding it all but deserted, could have entered and burnt it, and taken off Jeff. Davis to boot, but failed to do so.

the following editorial when the advance took place: On to Richmond ! This is the news we have this morning. It seems that a division of infantry, with cavalry and artillery, has been landed on the York river, below West Point, and have marched to the region of Bottom's bridge and the field of Fair Oaks, about twelve miles from Richmond--Gen. Butler will reinforce this expedition with all the troops of his command, and we may hope for the capture of the rebel capital through it, if Gen. Sedgwick advances in support on the line of the Rapidan. Let us hope that concert of action will be arrived at, especially in this movement, by our military authorities. If this is the case, our prisoners will soon be released without parole or exchange.
