general impression throughout the North-and

Richmond and Memphis are the two great
points toward whose capture such vigorous
movements are now being made-hoth being
desired as headquarters during the approach
ing winter for i've grand divisions Of the fed
eral army, with the view Of making them the
bases Of such operations as are designed TO
constitute She programme OF the fan campaign.
Richmond hss been selected as the first and
most essential point, as every Indication in
Virginia seems to give the most undoubted ev-
idence. Gen NcDowELL, whose division Of
fifty or sixty thousand was SO disastrously re-
pulsed at Manassas on day before yesterday,

forces with the view Of getting control Of the
Orange and Alexandra railroad, aDd Of thus
having the chief barrier 70 his progress from
that point to he Confederate capital removed.
