General Grants Plan OF a Winter Gam
paign--Dutch Gap Canal AbOuG TO be
ODened.

From the Richmond Wing, Dec.
The campaign of "a seems destined
TO be carried on to the end of the year.
Although "all is quiet" on the James,
stall there are movements known to be
going on which indicate an early re-
sumption of hostilities. The attack of
the Monitors on HoWletts, reported
this morning, is doubtless the forerun-
ner of the grand combined naval and
land attach" of which the Yankee pa
pers have prated so much lately AS
the Yankees persist in ignorance when
experience would make them wise, it
is presumable that they expect to de-
rive great advantage from the canalza.
ton of Dutch Gap. Unmindful of the
small achievements secured by the ia
nous Vicksburg canal, they will at
tempt to perpetrate the same farce with
the canal at the Gap. We think the
canal is near its completion, and the
engagement at Howlett's yesterday is
but feeler to test the vigilance of our
batteries, and TO make preparations
for the advance of the feet which has
been gathered in our waters very re-
Gently.
Grant may have succeeded in pass
ing few transports through the Vieks-
burg canal and defeated Bowen, who.
had he been supported with timely re-
Inducements, would have squelched the
great flank movement against Vieks-
burg but in attempting 10 pass through
Ouch Gap canal, Ulysses will meet with
obstacles which his engineers have not
calculated upon; and then he will find
the Army Of Virginia prepared as in
the past 10 repel, with the same uncon-
quering valor, his assaults at every
point
Let him dig while he may, while he
wearies of bombardment, the grim
threatening dogs of war" await him
and his minions, who, as surely as they
will be hurled against them, will be
sent back reeling, dismayed and terror
stricken, as in the past

The NoRTH SIDE OF THE JANIS 1t was
reported yesterday, upon what seemed
the best authority, that Grant was
massing his troops on the north side Of

Hardly day has passed that Wheeler

has fingers and toes Besides fighting
wherever he could fluid the enemy, roads
have been obstructed, cattle and negroes
driven off, the people fOrewarned, pro
visions that could not be removed de
stroyed, and everything else done TO en-
barrass and distract the invaders. In
this way Wheeler has rendered most
vital service to the cause, for it has given
us time to complete detences and bnng
up our men. We are now ready tor

with his hired and brutal minions.
On Sunday last, the 4th INST a battle
was fought which exceeds iii magnitude
any that has characterized the campaign,
and is therefore worthy of some partic-
ular mention. The Fourteenth Yankee
corps, united with Kilpatrick's entire
cavalry force, made ali attack on Wheel
er, and severe battle ragged for several
hours. At the moment OF the assault
Wheeler's line was very much extended,
for the purpose of foraging but he
speedily brought his forces together and
received the attack of the enemy with a
yigor that made them stagger Several
times were they driven back by o'ir men
