and dehAnlly in svery quarter Of the Confeds-
raey, and especially in lha two great eentsE5 Of
the war are cur esests erect and our fronts m
seathsd. Gen Grant, with his grand army
which was 10 sweep on TO Richmond ike q rush
ing tornado, though obshnatsly and braVeIy
eontending for an adyaBcs, has bean compelled
after repeated and terrible Efforts, to roecil from
she uushallen columns Of our hsToie troops, and
seek safety for bis msuglsd IegienB within his
intTandhmenis. His great sebsms for the elD-

nais courage Of our gallant army, and 40 re-

Int besrinz Of the foTces with which i found
itself e0nfT0uted, and the immauss asel Of gun
beats aad iron-elads have been able 70 accom-
plish nothing towards the grand sonsummalfen
80 aTdently hoped for. Ia Richmond and
Pstsrsburg the people to man have hOeksd to
arms to defend and protset their imperillsd and
threatened liberties. TAsy have added the
weight Of their strong arms TO The support Of the
army and tho cause, and have thus proved
themselves worthy to be free. Sach q people
cannot be conquered
The backbone Of The Yankee campaign IN
Virginia is evidently broken, snd their armies
are beaten and crippled BY the stroog blows they
haVe already received. Our army on the CON
lIsry, always brave and def snt, now exulls over
new victories achieved, and other tTiumphs TO
come. They have with them the prestige OF sue
cess, and are strong in the belief ia their own
in7inei6ility against all the Ysakos hories that
can be brought against them. They know, too,
that every cemp and garrison in Yankeedom
hiss been abandoned to swell the ranks Of these
great invading columns which they have re-
PEELED, and arc yet anxious 70 meet, and that
when they shall have expelled them from our
soil thsir task will be psrfeesed Our enemies
have concentrated their forces for this last grand
effort. IF they cannot sucCsed now, what hope
viii they have in the future Il their grsstsst
general and sheir largest army Is compelled to
tall back before the defenders Of Richmond,
upon what can they rely for future sueesssl
We were interrupted ai this point of 0ur aF-
ticle by the arrival Of the dispatches which will
be found under the apprOprists head from Vir-
ginia, containing the Laws Of still more glorious
victories than any jet achieved Or heroic
defenders are paving the soil Of Virginia with
the bodies of our foes. Before these last en-
gsgemests the New York HsTa;d acknowledged
the loss Of tgonty Thousand in Grants
army and now We have .ho glad tidings that
thousands more must be added 30 the grand To-
tai.
Our successes havo sont gold up ike q rocket
and it touched 30 in the great money center.
There IS no .rusr index Of tho despair Of 0Er
enemies than this. Never before during the
war Gas gold approached so high a point, and
now i must continue to 20. It has slipped
/ from the control OF the financial juggiaTs, and
defes their eff5Tts to hold il in restFains
In 0ur Immediate front the result so anxisusly
/ hoped for and c1nhaastly expected has not yel
been realized. Though the losses OF me enemy
have been hessy, circumstances have not pei
