NEW YORK. FAR. 25.

I indulged in some speculations in my last letter
as to what L. is likely to do to prevent his beans
caught in this vast net width is now being thrown
around him. And although the facts of the case, ao
far as they are known here, remain much the same
as a week ago, and though I am not desirous et
claiming very much importance for either my own
speculations, or those of anybody else, the subjset
is so interesting and important, that I cannot avoid
returning to it. I find that the best judges here us
satisfied that as soon as Lee gets his detachments
gathered in, he will strike • severe blow some-
where in anticipation of Sherman's appraise'',
and that it is on Grant it will fall
Rumours of an engagement at Petersburg, in
which Grant got the worst of it, were current Is
town on Thursday, and though they were evidently
invented for stockjobbiug purposes, and excited
little or no attention, I have often remarked that
stories of this kind are often storm-birds that creep
northward through the lines whenever a squall is
impending. It is now well known that when
Grant made his late advance on Hatch's Rau,
though be "extended his left" considerably, be
failed to get hold of the precise position at which
he aimed, which !has left the extremity of his End I
very much exposed--so mushso that an attack on I
it bas been expected daily for the last week, age I
it has probably owed its safety so far •to the &eV
that it is literally plunged in • sea of mud, caused 1
by the spring thaw. That it has not been
drawn in somewhat is doubtless dee to
Grant's unwillingness to yield any ground he has
ones gained, and to the necessity of keeping Lee
well bugged on the Southern side during the opera-
tions at Wilmington and Sherman's advance. How-
ever, it is possible that Groot may not receive the
blow, and the alternative is to move out against
Sherman, leaving a Soros at Richmond strong
enough to bold it temporarily. Should this fail,
nothing remains but the evacuation of Richmond
I and retreat to Lynchburg. Mr. Foote, the late
member of the Confederate Congress, who passed
through New York a week ago, on his way to Fort
Warren, but has since been released on his under-
taking to go to Europe, was very communicative
about the Confederate plans, and states that the
expediency of evacuating the towns on the coast
an well as Richmond itself was fully dismissed in
"secret session" over a month ago, and there did
not seem to be any general objection to it, in case
it became necessary, so that it is safe to conclude
that the measure is even now in contemplation.
The Richmond Whip of Monday last makes the fol-
lowing remarks, which show that something of the
kind is feared by the public in the Confederate
capital :

Warmed is safe if all parties ooacerned do their duty ;
that is, if the new ileereaary et War is energetic, sad if the

of dreadful things that are to happen to Sherman
in cos he aontinnes his advance ; they all profess
to be satisfied that the unhappy man is " Alareh-
ing to his doom," but we have had so mach of
this sort of thing, that I shall not okraPY
your space with any serious discussion of it. No-
thing, in fact, is more certain than that there is
nothing to stop Sherman es long as be tites to
move on Ms present line, until be comes •• colli-
sion with Lee's army. And the only question on
which there is now much room for doubt is, I where
this collision will take place, whether at bond
or some point further seath. Sherman ki(4lf, as
I told you a few weeks ago, expects this cotlision,
and °maiden that it will be the last great eirent of
the war, and deo/Jiro of the fat* of the ‘6onfe-
dewy.

• There seems tdbe no doubt that the Confederate
Congress has been nearly frightened by Sherman's
advance into seldmily passing au act,as "'wet
eassion," authorising the arming of 200,000 negross.
It is too late. They have no means of putting any
such measure into execution. Even if their con-
trol over their own territory were oomplete,
the hostility both of the planters-who have
newer shown the slightest disposition to sacrifice
property of any kind for the Confederacy—and o
the pogrom themselves would render the raking of
any such force tedious and difficult. To-day it
may be safely said to be impossible. I have no
doubt they will get a few thousands under
,arms,
