thosO renowned patriots In zeal or intel
liecncc, and we anticipate from him re-
suits equal to those which followed their
nynriinnc

The Honorable Reverdy Johnson has
discovered that Lincoln is not the man he
took him TO be, and prints his discovery
in the Baltimore papers, along with q
catalogue of offences longer and gravel
than that in the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence imputed to George III. We can
not but congratulate him upon the re-
turn of his eyesight, although IL seems
to have revisited him something OF The
latest. No man took more decided
part against the people he was pleased to
denominate rebels, at the beginning oil
this war. or was more vehement IN their
dcnunciation. And, yet not one oil these
so called rebels ever charged the old Gov.
ernment'of the United States with half
the crimes which he has thought fit TO
;mpute to Mr.. Lincoln. Ii the secession
lists needed any defence of their act
in separating from the Union, we do
not know where they could find one
ADLER or better suited to their purpose
than that which Mr. Johnson has placed
upon record The system which per
mits such an utter disregard of the Con
stitution as he attributes to Lincoln can
not surely be very pleasant system to
live under, and it is a little hard upon us
that he who so heartily detests the fruit
should wish to hang and shoot us because
we will have nothing to do with the tree.
The letter of Mr.. Johnson, in a word,
depicts government SO arbitrary, so ty-
rannical, and so corrupt, that rebellion
against it would be considered justifable
anywhere in the world. Mr.. johnson,
however, does not think Of rebelling
against it. He is moderate man. He
only goes the length Of putting another
man at the head of it, and that man the
very officer who first trampled under
foot the rights of the States by impri-
soning the whole Legislature of Mary
land, and establishing In that unhappy
land despotism more absolute and I'M
relenting than that of Austria or Spain
His arguments and statements lead
plainly to the justice Of secession. But
when he arrives at the point to which
they inevitably carry him, he starts as
though he had arrived suddenly on the
brink of precipice, and cannot trust
himself with a glance to fathom the
depth of the abyss. The secessionists
are, no doubt, much obliged to him for
his arguments and facts. They will leave
him to draw his own differences from his
promises while they take the liberty Of
theirs.

mn SITUATION AT pRTERsBURG.

| The situation ut Petersburg remains
unchanged, If we may except slight
advance Of the enemy's lines. There
was continued skirmishing yesterday, al
times quite heavy, but nothing was ac-
eomplished. The Express says:
our forces, after driving back the Yam
hoe Column of advance on Saturday, re-
fired during the night to a more eligible
situation nearer the Boydton plankroad,
| As soon as this movement was discovered,
the enemy again advanced his lines, and
| on Sunday occupied the farms of DIR. Al
their p;ckcts making bold to enter the
residences of these gentlemen. On one
portion Of their advance, the Yankees en-
deavored to dislodge body. of our troops
occupying rise of ground, but were
easily and handsomely repulsed with
loss
On Sunday, Our batteries opened upon
| and drove the enemy from the dwellings
above mentioned. their fire being so ac-
CITRATE as to render these quarters too
hot for comfortable accommodation.
Yesterday the enemy's line of battle
extended through Pegram's and Bots
seau's plantations, with their pickets In
advance. 1t is unnecessary. to state the
exact positions of olr army, but will let
the Yankees find it out for themselves,
which they will to their cost if they per
sist in their efforts to reach the Southsidc
railroad,
The enemy'5 pickets yesterday occu-
pied the Nv Davis house, west of the
Weldon railroad, our skirmishers on that
point retiring There is nothing gained
in this movement, however
During the past few nights the trains
of Grants. new railroad have been con
stantly in running from the City
Point to the Weldon road. The noise OF
their movements can be distinctly heard
by persons en- the suburbs, and even
in the city on quiet night. Night be
fore last Cheering could be plainly dis
tinguished in that direction, as if the
trains were moving up reinforcemcnts to
the right. Grant may, or he may not, be
sending troops to his left, but we opine
that he is practicing the same game of
deception in running his trains so bu-
silly, and causing his men to cheer so
Justify, in hearing Of our troops. We
have no doubt, however, that he has
largely reinforced his new position,
though not to that extent that he would
like us to believe
We have intelligence thus far of the
presence of two corps massed on our
right and engaged in the recent battles
there, viz: the Fifth, commanded by
Warren, and the Ninth, formerly com
handed by Burnside, but since his re-
lief by General Gibhon. These corps
as have the others of Grants army, have
been greatly strengthened by the assign
ment of new recruits to their ranks, and
now number probably eight OF ten thou
sand men each.
Since Grant established himself in
front Of Petersburg, he has lost five
thousand men for every Wile he has ad-
vanced. If our readers will take the
trouble to count his losses in taking the
Weldon road, thence to the Vaughan and
now to the Squirrel Level road, they will
find this correct estimate At this
rate it will cost him thirty thousand
more men to reach the Southside More
than that we reckon.

The above may appear appalling TO
European eyes, as also to those on this
side of the Atlantic but it does not give
the half of Grants losses in this cam
paign. All the columns operating in
Virginia are under Grants orders, and
must be received as part of his cam
paign In the table above, no mention
is made of Hunters losses in his advance
TO Lynchburg. They could not have
been less than fifteen thousand. But
ler's movements in Chesterfield, too, are
ignored entirely. In the fight at Drew
rvs Bluff, on the 10th May, they were
all of seven thousand five hundred, to
say nothing of his heavy losses previously
at Port Walthall junction and Swift
creek The bloody battle of Monocacy,
in Maryland, between General Early and
Lew Wallace, is also omitted Also,
the fights around the Washington de-
fences. The writer fails to refer to the
fight at the Crater, in which the enemy
conceded loss of over 5000. No men,
ton is made of the bloody fights on the
Weldon railroad, which occurred on the
18th and Goth of August, near the Davis
house, where we took over three thou
sand prisoners alone, and the enemy ad
mitted heavy loss in killed and wound
ed. The table does not include either
the fight of the 25th August. at Reams's
station, between Hancock aud Generals
A. P. Hill and Hampton 1t also omits
any mention of Hampton's great veto
ries over Sheridan at Trevilhan's depot
and below Richmond The table was
probably made up previous TO the late
sanguinary conflict near Winchester, but
that must now be taken into the ac-
count. and, later still, the fights of last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, near
Petersburg and below Richmond. The
losses specified in the table, in many in
stances, are known to be der-estimated,
and we may safely state that Grants
losses in the present campaign, com
mencing with the first week in May and
ending October lst--say five months
have not been less than l75, 900 men.
.In this connection, paragraph which
appears in a late number of the Boston
Courier, under the caption ssGrant's
Waste Of Men" is not inappropriate
That paper thinks there can be no fairer
illustration of the havoc of war, when
carried on under willful guidance, than
the condition of the First Massachusetts,

inston, doing most useful and valuable,
but not active service, when, after the
depicting battles Of the Wilderness, it
was ordered to the front as aniniantry
organization. 1t marched out one thou
sand six hundred and seventy men and
thirty officers, and was in the brunt of
the battles at Spotsylyania Courthouse.
1t now returns with but two hundred and
seventy men, leaving at Petersburg about
rs many re-enlisted men and recruits,
whose time is not out and there are only
thirteen officers left. Thus, within sixty
days, about one thousand one hundred
men Of one thousand seven hundred have
melted away in what is called glory -
certainly brayely, with no desertion, no
stra s55ling, no slow disease.
