more than snss, ~ the prestige Of con-
tsuens victory on the part Of our brave
army, and that Of defeat on the part Of
The rebels, will render each attempt on

= IN the hands Of no ordinary man. Gen.
Grant has shown himself TO be the most
competent commander in the country
Under him the brave men Of the North
west sssm almost ioviucibls. The proc.
pet 10 that part Of the country where he

The condition Of affairs in Virginia
continues uncertaio, though there is .
partial prospect that ere many dsys th ,
Army Of the Potomac, which has made
% many forward movements and been 90
many times repulsel, will find . firm
Soothold within the rebel capital. The
general engagement that is now 80 i'm
minent in that quarter will decide
whether that army 10 destined to %
active winter campaign, or return to the
old programme Of "wintsr quarters."-
Should the latter be the unpleasant alter
native, the rebels will gain much valuable
time. and perhaps hold our troops in
check another year on the ground they
have already 20 we'll trodden. But this
b hardly to b expected. The general
Impression seems to be that rebel resist.
apcs in front Of Richmond has been pref
y nearly overcome. A short time will
decide this one way or the other.
