ery yestedly General Torbert captured seventy nve
cavalry including SIX CceTs; that toe rebel cavalry Is
exceedingly demoraEsd sqd fees before ours on every
occasion.
The Washington Star says
10 TO last night there laI been no fighting beyond
shgct skrmishes.
Is is no. thought that Grant will accommodate them
by an attack this strong position, bu. is working out
plan which viii put Lee on doE6ls-quiek Sgan, or
force him 80 accept fair 6ght in the open field
The destruction Of the Virginia Central Railroad,
above Ssxtobs Junction, has been so coNplee that l.
vii &c utterly useless The rebels rails DESTROYED,
cuttings filed, emba1kmeuts thrown dOvo, bridges
burned, H., &c.
Al the information from the front s in the highest
degree eLcourag5g, and calculated to inspire the NJ
most confidence in tie OF the plans Grant Is
busy working out.
A des. a.ch from Washington says: There the
oest possible spirits official circles and every
one poicng over the success Of Grants late mastery
move which throws all his pact operations in the shade
for It's brilliant success.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, in editorial the cit
astion in Virginia. and the movements of Grlnsarny,
says:
With respect to the advance of General Grant this
grand fact must be always KEEP. 10 mind Al every
move from Washington be shifts his line OF oomuunl-
cations changes bis base, ard literally leaves norear
for TIE enemy to attack. This new point OF supply
will be tins head of navigation OF the Pamunkey, or
s5me other lent Of the Chesapeake. Thus be
tinualy advances continuity keeps his ue Of supply
intact and continually bsi.s bis crafty adversary by
leaving exposed rear TOO him to attack. l; Is the
same strategy which made the nsrch from Brunsburg
20 Vicksburg one uDbroken Ieres of victories and up
On this We foand our deep conviction that the fate of
Vcksourg and Pember.ons army is TO be the fate Of
Richmond and al that it may happen TO contain when
the day OF reri0uton at lsI arrives.
