infamous, General Butler cautiously savant 51

the left Generals Hancock and Warren, N", 11,11

COo
may conclude that the carnage was not a°
able; but the net result of the manceay.o
be gathered from the laconic telegrair:ti
neral Grant has resumed his old P°-0)
It was, of course, quite possible that `ll
Grant might, ere the winter sets in, enter
mond at the head of a victorious army ; 13°1'011
ing from probabilities, we should say that li'be
of the campaign ceased to be uncertain II p
transported his army to the south bank of tee
~
River. The Federal General undertook to Pi
pi.issage to Richmond by the sheer weight °I
immense army, and when it was found thal
rous though that army was, it was still les°,4
to effect this object, the fallacy of Grant's 0
sions became apparent. Within 24 hours efts be
ing the Rapidan, in the beginning of MaYo : f
deral Coteimander-in-Chief made his fir°"Aei
against the Southern battalions in the Eel
and failed. Day after day, for nearly a Ice-0,
repeated the experiment in the thickly 'll
brakes of Spottsylvania, but with no other 0
than that of weakening the army on whose ill,
strength he mainly relied to effect his objee;
the South Anna, and lastly on the Chicksh°o
he again hurled this human battering-real;
the compact lines of his foes, but without .0
the most insignificant breach. At this tiff
army was said to have lost nearly half lr°,,,t
complement of troops, and then it was t°„
the least observant could not avoid forese,°'t
ultimate failure of the campaign. The 11°,
General was himself reluctantly compelled t°,
the inutility of pursuing a system of tactic°
promised to end in the annihilation of hiBi
and saw himself forced to commence what °3t
regarded as a second campaign from a new 1
operations, with an army considerably WI
and not a little demoralised by the fe,lr'l3 i
which it had sustained. Crossing the Jame°,
he laid siege to Petersburg. But as Ricno);
always been regarded es even more le 6el
from the south than fiom the north, it we ,
sonable to expect that the residue of an emit
had in vain attempted to cross the Chick et
would be enabled to force the still strongo
which interposed 'between Petersburg ° 0
Confederate capital. Of this Grant has liiii
rably conscious himself, and it seems to 100,
owing rather to a sentiment of relueth%
acknowledge himself toiled than to any at'l
that we must attribute his protracted stsico
neighbourhood of Richmond. As for the fel
rates, they knew that their capital was 13°,04
attacked through Petersburg by the ~,1
of the army they had so signally defeated fort
sylvania ; and, to mark their contempt 101 l
aggressors, they invaded Pennsylvania, 001
forcements to their army in Georgia, and 11
tainee even until now a strong force in the fo
doah Valley. Opening his eyes to the folly °bill
down before a teem in Central Virginia, 11.01
ing columns of Confederates were doing.ill°,4%
pleased on the Federalfrontier, and probe of
into activity by the remonstrances of t/I° 0
ment at Washington, Grant has from t 1 Sao
attempted to carry Petersburg by assault, 0130
the network of defences with which
diettill
raees have encircled their principal city. I
have, however, universally ended in faillire'd
Meat, of which intelligence has now reacb.e4
in no respect differed from those by vw bliarl
been preceded. Although the result of the vex
ing election can scarcely be doubtful, the„ce
tic party continue to struggle manfully r°` elei
success of their nominee. Those in poW et ,
dently determined to leave nothing to ebileed
every expedient is employed to obtain thcteP
majority for Mr Lincoln. The offices of t sod'
cratic electioneering agents in Washingrc!og
timore have been closed by the military ;14'
on the ground of forging votes puriTrbeeri
given by Federal soldiers ; and Gen. P'.,itiels
it
the polls under the protection of the r°ll"free'
the praiseworthy intention of preservivg yo 0
election. The State authorities of Nes°,,,,,el 0,1
Kentucky have protested against this Piz-et 01. i
securing for American citizens their sri;Wilini

degree degree influence the conduct of the tatiei"
Mr Lincoln will, as he told the deptl—. bit
Tennessee, act in his own way, and lElO'4O

cannot employ such effective means as tiled
