From YORKTOWN Henry j. Raymond,
of the New York Times, is with Gen. McClel-
lan's army before Yorktown, and writes to
that paper in the most hopeful strain. He
says he does not think active operations will
commence before the first of next week. IN

But, when he was suddenly deprived Of the very men
he had relied on 70 accomplish this, he had choice but
to change his plan. He then compelled to take
yorktown by direct advance, and that advance wasa
work Of the utmost difficulty. Gen. Wool, IL is true
made haste to telegraph to Washington that there
no works. and very few men to defend the place but
