WONDERFUL ConMrN1rr OF INTERESTS.

WONDERFUL COMMUNITY OF INTEREsTs--We will
not believe that the spectators and the Lincontes
agree in all their views, plans and purposes, but to
certain extent there is wonderful harmony of ntere sts

The Yankees claim to have captured seven hundred
prisoners in the recent battles Richmond. This
appears quite likely, as in the moving incidents Of so
many days OF battle it is hardly possible but that
of our men should get separated from their comrades

with that OF the enemy taken by us.

If there be truth in the statement that Lincoln has
made call fer three hundred thousand more troops
it goes to show very conclusivey that he begins to
find that he hos planted a very large crop which will
require any number Of heads to tend
Probably it was about that matter that Lincoln
went to West Point to consult old General Scott.
These three hundred thousand will not be got cut
in time for this campaign nor in time to put stop
