Gen. Buford's raid upon the Richmond

al lustre to Stoneman's corps Certainly
nothing like it has ever been known in
the history of any previous war. The
destruction of that virtually sewers COM
munication between Lee and Bragg, and
prevents those officers from cooperating
with, and reinforcing each other as
readily as heretofore. In addition, it
materially interferes with the Transports
ton of supplies, which as a general
thing, have heretofore passed from the
west to the east, over this road. The
destruction of the james River and Ka-

The News

This morning is,of an exceedingly COM
plicated character We are assured that
very few Of the newspaper critics who
readily deterszine how battles should be
fought aud won can declare positively as
to "&he situation at the present juno
ture. All kinds of rumors and stories
are ahoat, which we print as they come
to Us, reminding our readers, with the
showman's politeness-" they pay their
money and take their choice" as to
which reports they VIII credit ana WnIcn
they will discard.
We feel quite confident that Gen. Lee
is falling back toward Richmond, and that
Hooker is moving in the same direction.
The occupation of the old battlefield at
Chancellor House by Pleasanton's cav
airy very cleary proves that the rebels
are not in large force in that vicinity.
Gen. Keyes' position at West Point. in
connection with Stoneman's terrible raid,
makes Gen. Lees position st Fredericks-
burg untenable, besides seriously threat
ening the rebel capital Prudence die
tates retreat on his part, and ne doubt
not he is retreating.
It was very unfortunate for the coun-
try that Gen. Hooker did not destroy
Lees army at Charlottesville. We fear
so good an opportunity will not occur
again. The rebels had to fight at a great
disadvantage, and we're undoubtedly in
inferior force Gen. Hooker 5 handling
of his army, both before and during the
battles, appears to a civilians eye to
have been good, and just how the
rebels managed to escape is 3 mystery,
unless we admit-which we are 10th to do
that the rebel army out-fought the
Army of the Potomac. The compel
ling change of line on the part of Gen.
Hooker, three times, each time losing
ground, Until at last the Gordosville
Plank Road passed out of his possession

rebels attacked. Upon'no other assump'
ton can we account for the failure tc
