The visi. of President Lincoln to our noble
Army Of the Potomac, or, as it may now be
appropriately called, the Army Of the James
river, and the encouraging reports connected
with this visit, assure us not only of the in
tegrity of that army, and its ability to hold its
new position against rebel force Of even two
hundred thousand men, but that with all DANA
ges repaired and abundantiy protected in flank
and rear General Mcclellan will soon be in
motion again towards the rebel capital. We
are assured. too, that this time, with the army
and the powerful gunboat feet Of Captain
Wilkes moving up the river together, our ad
vance will be irresistible over all distractions.
From his late position in the deadly swamps
Of the Chckahominy, with his base Of supplies
twenty miles in his rear, General Mcclellan
has made q mastery and lucky escape. In
his new position he is in reality nearer
the rebel capital than he was in the pesti-
lential and dangerous line which he aban-
| do,ed He Is on the navigable waterway
which leads right into Richmond, and our gun
boats hold possession OF the stream to point
within seven miles of the city. Thus 10 chang
ing his position. so as to reach the James river
and the powerful assistance Of our gunboats,
General Mcclellan has already been largely
reinforced. With fifty thousand more to
his land forces, and with liberal additions
to the several corps Of the army Of
General Pope, the fall Of the rebel capital
will be inevitable; for, thus strengthened in
front and rear, there wilt be no door left open
for another repetition against us of the Bull run
movement Of General 10. Johnston, and the
equally successful dash Of Stonewall Jackson
TO Richmond from the Shenandoah valley, and
just In the nick Of time to cut off our own rein

But we have learned from the developments,
discoveries and results Of those late seven days
sanguinary fighting near Richmond that Gene
