THE NEWS.

F. From the official dspatch from Gen.
cRAsr, which we have by, telegraph
today. it would appear that our report OF
Yesterday WAS i'll part premature. There
n no bail news-nothing d.scouraging--in
Grants dispatch, but it informs Us that
Lee is not yet south Of South Anna, as
reyorted BY correspondents yesterday, bnt
that he IS making a stand between the
North and South Anna rivers with the
intention Of risking another battle before
retiring within the works of Richmond
Lee does not expect, BY this stand, to de-
feat the army under Grant, nor perma-
uehtly check its vistoriOusr~dvanee, but
hinks By stubborn resistance at this
oipt, to delay for few days the fall Of
be rebel Capital, and thas give to Mr.,
Davis little more time in which to re
move the seat of his Government.
