here that in consequence OF such move

1t is believed by those who have the
best means Of knowing, that Lee is has
tening to the works Of Richmond, not
only to save the remnant of his own ar

capital from falling into the hands of that

GRANTS. lARaY.-Before the battle of
Charlottesville, IIooker's army was rep
resented as the finest army on the planet"
1t is well enough to put upon record, in
view of impending events, the following
testimony in regard to Grants army, CO.
pied from letter in the New York Times,
an extract from which was inserted in our
last issue: Pefers5urg Express.
"Gen. Grants position as General in
Chief will give him untrammeled liberty
and unity Of command, will enable him to
use all resources of the nation, and will
afford him the means Of general combina-
tion over the whole theatre of the war.
These are advantages that no other COM
mander of the army Of the Potomac ever
enjoyed and they are immense. The next
ground of confidence rests in the magnif-
cent army which Gen. Grant is massing 10
Virginia. Its mere numerical proportions
are spoken of as something portentous.
But not only is the Army Of the Potomac
strong in its numbers--it is strong in IFS
| organization, its commanders, its disci-
piue, its morale. The sweeping changes
made nv Grant in the interior constitu-
, tion nf the Army Of the Potomac--bowever
much thev may have shocked some sensi.
biiities-have all been TO the Improvement
Of the army; and no one who knows the
spirit and quality Of that army can fail to
appreciate the delights and confidence Grant
has in it"
