lous, that 1t is really difficult to decide some-
times whether tine writer Is in earnest or

There have been indications for several
days that Gen Hooker was about TO resume
the offensive again. There have bcer actually
several successive days Of pleasant weather,
SO that the streets of Washington we're re-
ported TO be actually dusty; and hints have
been given that Hooker world not fail t.
take advantage Of the occasion Of eomrara-
lively dry roads. Letters FROM the Vermont
troops have spoken Of premoniuons Of
movement. \ violent rain storm set in Wed
nesday however, after the fret division Of the
Army Of the Potomac iai 5eg.q is rrore-
n'e't, according 10 one statement. The delay
which this would make may have frustrated
the pan, by giving the rebels time to bring
up from Sufyik the Peninsula and Richmond,
troops which they had sent there i9r the ope-
rations already mentioned ly Telegraph. That
Gen. Hooker will not lie able T. take them
BY surprise isrro5able; and in any event tley
viii be likely 10 defend the line OF tue Rap
pahannock strongly. We iaay look ior sharp

Saturday night, go to confirm the entire
success of Grant in all his operations
about Vieksburg. His movements and
engagements have been brilliant in the
extreme.
With daring and dash that must have
struck terror into the hearts of the enemy
he first ordered an extensive raid from
one md Of tile State TO tho other, direct
ing those engaged in it to cut eff all East
and West communications, in which they
succeeded most admirably, and he him
self then pounced upon the enemy wit h
the swoop ola eagle, advancing into the
very centre of state which has hereto
fore proved a rebel Gibraltar, and meet
ing them IN battle day after day, conquer
cd them in every engagement, rapidly
ly following up each victory with another
even more decisive, and finally culnina-
ting in the glorious achievements of the
last few days.
General Grant has covered himself
with glory in this, the greatest victory of
the war. He has proved himself the
Garabaldi of the war, and though he
should never again draw his sword aginst
the enemy, the Importance and glory OF
what he has already done, would ontitIo
him to the everlasting gratitude of all his
countrymen.
