N{U&N ING LEADER.
FHuRsDAY mORNING. Way 90. 1854.


AT no time since General Grant opened
the spring campaign by crossing the Aapi-
asa. have We felt more sanguine Of crown
ing and complete SUCCESS than at the pres
snt. Gar greet leader has ont generated
q Lee and driven him back from his strong
Iy intrenohed position around Orange
Csurt House, in a series Of battles, une-
-gqualisd fOF magnitude, length, pertinacity
and destruotiveness by any in our history
and which have displayed, in proud con
spicuity, the tenacity Of purpose, the msg-
nihcent drill, organisation and equip
nents, and the dsrsrmiRed courage, Of
cur troops. he does not rest eOntented
hsre. Mcclellan, on finding Lee
entrsnched ct spOttsylVsnis, would have
1esst down to a long and Nasteful siege
Hooker would have flung his columns, with
fery but unavsiling courage, upon the
sofortihcaiions behind which Lee awaited
him. Grant, the great general, does neither,
but, with an army stronger both in num-
bsrs and morale than when the struggle was
commenced, he has marched forward,
again outfsnking Lee, and msnuVering
hia out Of his works with little loss, and
Without the risk and blOOdshed Of 3
pitched battle, OF the delay and tedium Of
5sda siege.
Grant has again marched around Lees
right, and is posted at Guinney's and Mil
ford Stations. These places are on the
booRishmond and fredericksburg Railroad,
o. and sre directly south of the latter tOwp.
no Milford is ten miles from Guinney's and
tweuty-eight from Fredericksburg. It is
hEteen or twenty miles due southwest Of
spOttsylvania and is forty miles from
Richmond The new position, it will be
seen, while it eompels Lee to attack us, or
60 withdraw from spottsylvsnis, places us
much nearer Richmond and allows unbro-
6as ken communication with fredericksburg
ssnand Aequia Greek. Meantime, Lee is said
to have withdrawn his whole force south
Of the North Anna river, to the line Of the
fs-sgYirginia Central Railroad. Hanover
Junction thus becomes the next point CT
80 strait gic Importance, and we should net
be surprised il the final struggle tran
7fi spired there.
ss'ea Elsewhere an seems to 60 we'll. Butler
has indeed disappointed many by not ''tak-
ing Richmond on the 18Th but no we'll
fis fiAfomed person in his sObsr senses ever
sz expected this, and Butler is at least safe
= where he is, and can prevent Beauressrd
= from cooperating vita Lee. Meantime
auathe news from Candy aud Sherman is ez-
cellent, and gives promise that we shall
soon hear better news still The whole
sky looks bright

sHf5 by Henry Ward Beecher:
basi1 In the consideration Of tho present ex-
h1igency; in view Of Mr.. LiDcoln's past Ad-
ministration; the wisdom he has shown
ef -the moral purity Of the man; the great
ssT confidence which the people put in him I;
yr- the danger which there would be, If he
81, were set aside, of having it regarded ss q
s.ra- popular rebuke Of his policy, and the con
50 fdanoa that I feel that, though long in
- learning, he has learned to govern, 1 am
Je1zs full and strong in my conviction thst he
g should be our next President.
3sd These words, from one Of the most Illus
si0s triouS and gifted friends Of freedom in the
land, will create deep impression. Mr..
q Bescher and Mr. Garrison are true friends
'di OfRegrO freedom. They are practical, far
no seeing men. They have the Statesman

to have sbandOued other men Of their
