The Case Of Capt. Philip Cashnsyr.
charges preferred against this individual have
not yet been officially examined into, and
therefore the exact nature OF the offence
which he has committed is not fully known.
1t is the opinion of District Attorney F. H.
Ayiets, who has had possession Of the docu
ments which Cashmeyer slipped into the
hands Of one of the Federal prisoners sent
North by the flag of truce boat which left
TINS city last Monday, that they contain no.
thing which can convict him Of reasonable
designs towards the Confederacy; but that
the orders which he was endeavoring to get
TO his friends related simply to the great
trust which had been repoeed in him by the
Confederate authorities, and were intended
70 increase their qualification at his getting

To New s.On to RicAnond."

The Yankees have for three years en-
dsayorsd to capture Richmond by con
qussing tie Confederate army in its front
but they have now changed their tactics
and IRE sndsavoring to conquer Gen. Lee's
army BY capturing Richmond. Their
present policy is based upon the repeated,
prolonged, and total failures of every other
means Of accomplishing their purposes
Scott Mcdowell, Mcclellan, Pope, Hook
er, Burnside, and Meade have all failed
to overthrow the living bulwarks Of the
Confederate soldiers in open field fighting,
and the Grand Northern Army Of the
Potomac, shorn of its original strength
and glory, is only too happy if it can Sc
cure the capital at Washington from
Coafsdsrste advance. The public men
and public speakers Of every grade, in
and out Of the Federal Congress, argue
that nothing can be done towards crush
ing tho rebellion" till the rebel armies
sHe cfnshed- But bow to do it--that's
weak point and think they have found it,
in our general tendency to be surprised,
and in our particular deficiency, as they
suspect, of adequate means for the pro-
lection of Richmond from sudden raid
They are of opinion that the vigilance OF
Confederate soldiers is not at all equal to
their courage, and that the capital Of the
Confederacy is left in condition which
admits atalmost any time Of successful
attempt at surprise. If, they argue, they
can capture and destroy by sudden dash
Richmond, and the railroad connections
of Gen. Lee with the South, they starve
out Gen. Lees army as well as the peo
pie whose crops and agricultural implc-
ments can be ruined by the same raids
which have in view the capture Of the
capital Starvation is the weapon they
now rely upon rather than the sword, the
sword being used now chiefly to accom-
plish starvation.
II the late raid Of Fitzpatrick had been
successful in its chief object; if Richmond
were now a heap of smoking ruins, its
bridges burned, and railroads demolished,
who can think without a shudder Of the
possible fate Of Gen. Lees army and Of
the Confederate cause We have receiv-
ed warning which we will do well to
heed. The enemy must no longer be
permitted to imagine that Richmond is
defenceless, and ready to be made the
victim Of any adventurous race. Nor
can the surrounding country be left open
to impoverishment from such desolating
incursions. He must be made to fight
our armies instead Of seeking to starve'
them, or else to retire frOma contest
which he is no longer able to wage, ex-
cept az midnight assassin and highway
robber.
