to take along some six hundred soldiers,
WHO were hurrying on to New Hampshire

that they were going home to vote, or that
their officers were crowding them through

The Abolitionists will not get the votes
Of all ofthem, but they will probably get

About four hundred soldiers from the

Richmond 10 be Taken.

|, The Washington correspondent of the
New York World, after speaking of Gen.
Grants reception7in Washington and the
presentation of his commission as Lieut..
General, says:
A council of war was subsequently held
in which not only the President, Gen.
Grant, Gen. Halleck, and most of the
Cabinet participated. but all the military
talent In which the admin istration has
confidence was called in. The basis of
the ease submitted for consideration was,
that the several February expeditions had
nearly all miscarried and the country was
becoming alarmed and dissatisfied. /
have it from q source that consider re-
liable, that after the ground had been
gone over. Gen. Grant was called uptn
for bis views, and that he promptly re-
sponded in f,vor'of tho capture of Rich
mond as the first step in the campa gn;
and feel quite sure that orders will in
stantly go forward to bring the Eleventh
sud Twelfth corps from: :Chatta eoga, and
the Sixteenth and Seventh corps from the
Mississippi river to Virginia All the
troops that can be spared from other
points will, according to the statement
which reached me, be incorporated with
the Army of the Potomac, and General
Banks will be reinforced with negro troops,
but nothing more, and it is expected that
with the aid of the feet he will be able
to take Mobile. The great bulk of the
white troops will be concentrated in Fir-
ginia, and it is believed 250, 900 men can
be brought against Richmond at an early
day. Gen. Grant, understand, protests
against any further attempts to penetrate
the conieJeracy until Richmond shall
have been taken He disagrees with Hal
leck. and Places the highest stratcgical
value, upon the rebel capital, declaring
that Cincinnati az well as Washington is
threatened by it. Who will command,
and wh will be the route in this new
3 on to Richmond my informant does not
state. think it probable that General
Grant will command the main column
himself, with Sherman, Mcpherson,
Meade and Hooker as his chief subordi-
mates. The secret reason for this council
Of war was to inaugurate some military
movement which would help Mr.. Lincoln
in the june convention. 1t is felt that
nothing but military success will prevent
the Fremont and Chase men from disrupt
ing the administration party.
