Why Lee Left SpOttsyIVaniR.

2 NEw YORK, May 28.-The war cores
pondent OF the Richmond Examiner tells
why Lee left Spottsylvania Court House
He says reconnaissance was made and an
assault upon the iupion works ordered, wheu
their occupants were driven from them. II
was not discovered, heisays, that the en-
envy were rapidly moving his whole army
on our right flank and had been since day
break-the force on orr front being mere
handful, who had been left to keep up ap
pearances As soon as this reconnaissance
was over, everything and every body was
on the move with us.
The Richmand Examiner contends that
Grant is on the retreat and Lee pursuing.
It saws Lee followed Grant from Wilderness
HI is now last to move and Is pursuer, and
not pursued, from SpOttsylvaDia. 1t is true
that by both movements these armies have
been brought nearer to Richmond, but for
Lee,oit was necessary by the confguration
Of the soil and the links Of these rivers
which he. had TO defend.

The Richmond Enquirer, uf she 23ft,
says;
Sherman is marching into the heart
of Georgia. As yet his movements
have met with but little resistance, a
fact explained by the necessity for
drawing him as far as possible from
the only point he could look for sucor.
1t is not improbable TIA It he may
capture the Capitol of the State, and
perhaps move then e To Savannah or
Augusta with an ullimats eye On
Charleston.
1t was rumored yesterday that he
had M%illedgville already, and though
not officially confirmed, its not un-
likely. In East of the occupation of
Milledgville, Savannah and Charles
ton will be evidently the objective
points of the expedition.-Combina-
tons being in progress TO foil his
purpose We nav expect to hear in a
few days some desperate accounts of
them.
The Dispatch, of the 23rd says:
4 body of cavalry, under Wheeler,
attacked Sherman's cavalry at Cor
don, on Sunday, with what result it
does not know.
In the Rebel House of Representa-
tives last Monday, Mr. Foote made
another display of his bellieose quail

tention.
Mr.. Foote was subsequently, arrested
and required to give bail to keep the
peace, on charge of beiug engaged to
to fight u duel with John Mitchell

ate patriotism revoked it's previous
