Wilson, who seemed particularly communicative, in
formed Mrs. r. that Grant would hereafter avoid any
thing ike general engagement and intended, by
slant rsids, 10 cut Richmond CT from its supplies and
thus reduce it. Ulysses will find that he will not be
allowed quietly to indulge in solitaire" Gen. Lee

suggestive and shows the WckedneSs OF tFer purpose
