Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 1
there last week, and failed, it is true; but as it amounted to only a check, with a heavy loss of his numbers, he had the hardihood to telegraph the Yankee Secretary of War of continued successes, with the object of securing the renomination of Lincoln at the Baltimore Convention, held yesterday. He doubtless feared to risk another fight until that purpose was consummated, for a decisive victory for the Confederates would have destroyed Lincoln's prospects completely.--The Convention over, anLincoln's prospects completely.--The Convention over, and the renomination effected, it is not impossible that active hostilities may be immediately resumed. Skirmishing continues at intervals on the lines. Some of our boys say that one of these skirmishes would have been called a "battle" twelve months ago. From Bottom's Bridge. Some firing is reported to have occurred at Bottom's Bridge yesterday, but without any important result. The situation at the that point remains unchanged.

ute force he now essays to accomplish by strategy. Consequently we find him stealthily moving away from our front, and sliding down the south side of the Chickahominy, endeavoring, if possible, to reach the James, with a view of cooperating with Butler, who is still pent up between that river and the Appomattox. The uncommon stillness that prevailed along the lines yesterday has given rise to the belief that the Yankees were engaged in burying their dead, a privilege which they asked of General Lee under a flag of truce. Notwithstanding the generally received opinion to the contrary, it may be that Grant will again offer battle on the memorable scene of Cold Harbor. He measured strength with the Confederates there last week, and failed, it is true; but as it amounted to only a check, with a heavy loss of his numbers, he had the hardihood to telegraph the Yankee Secretary of War of continued successes, with the object of securing the renomination of Lincoln at the Baltimore Con

had burnt all the Government storehouses, depots, and public buildings in the place; but we could trace this report to no reliable source. On the other hand, it was confidently stated that the Yankees had not yet occupied Staunton. We have every reason to believe that this is an error. We heard last night, in a perfectly reliable quarter, that the enemy had left Staunton and gone in the direction of Lexington. In this connection it may be stated that a letter from a lady in Lexington, dated the 3d inst., mentions a report that Averell, at the head of a large cavalry force, was within three miles of the place. There was probably no foundation for this statement, though Crook, who was reported advancing by the Warm Springs road, was at Millboro', in Bath county, on Monday last. Lexington is in Rockbridge county, 146 miles West of Richmond, on an elevated bank of the West side of North river, and is the seat of Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute.

of active operations in Chesterfield county. On Tuesday a brisk little skirmish occurred on the south side of the Appomattox, between a portion of our forces and a party of mottled Yankee cavalry, (white and black,) who attempted to drive in our pickets, but were themselves repulsed, with the loss of a few wounded, which they succeeded in carrying all. No injury was done to our men. The Yankee force numbered about 150. On the same day a party of Yankees advanced from Temple's up as far as Green's farm, and after committing some depredations upon private property retired. The enemy are erecting a "look out" below Fort Clifton, having already elevated it some distance above the tops of the trees.--The object is to command a clear view of the surrounding country. From the Valley. All sorts of rumors prevailed yesterday with regard to the situation of affairs at Staunton.

The War News. The storm of battle which raged so furiously last week in the immediate vicinity of Richmond has been succeeded by a comparative calm, and matters are now almost as quiet as when the contending armies were seventy miles away. Grant has evidently become tired of "butting" against the rebel fortifications, and what he failed to effect by brute force he now essays to accomplish by strategy. Consequently we find him stealthily moving away from our front, and sliding down the sones yesterday has given rise to the belief that the Yankees were engaged in burying their dead, a privilege which they asked of General Lee under a flag of truce.
