The Richmond, Examiner of the 10th
says: we learn that the force sent by
Grant down the Weldon road, consisted of
one entire corps, besides cavalry. Every
man Of them ought TO be captured.
The Wing says a good many knowing
people are exersised as tolthed destination of
the raid. = If they have no more cavalry
than reported they will of"course soon get
to the end of their jonrneya, On the other
hand we are inclined to believe that they
are better equipped than reported, and We
will soon hear of the. destruction OF bridges,
&c., in the direction Of Weldon. This We
are frank to admit will give US some incon-
venience. but will not retrieve in the least
the palpsbls and irretrisvable failure which
Grant has made in his ''on to Richmond"
