After abiding to the comments upon
this subject in the Northern press, the lead
ing article OF the Richmond Examiner Of
June 9th concludes as follows.
"The citizens, if We judge by their quiet
indifference, did not believe one word of
it. They begin to doubt even the exist
ence of Grants army. Let Grant prove
it. Here is Richmond waiting to be taken;
built evidently to be taken; predestiued to
be taken, robbed and burned, according to
the very high authorities. And it is clear,
also. that the whole heart of great and
mighty nation, of all the mighty nations
the mightiest and the best, has been set
upon this achievement, as it's highest bu.
siness and holiest mission upon earth.
"And there are not wanting eager, elo.
quent, voluble writer's for the public press
OF that same people, the most enlightened
press of all creation protesting, affirming,
aud almost swearing, that large and num-
erous bodies of persons in uniform, wear.
ing buttons, carrying weapons, in fact,
what Yankees, call armies. were most GER
taiuly coming this way on the errand afore.
said and that Richmond was to consider
herself beseiged; or, for that matter, as
good as taken. There is a very general in.
credulity about this whole matter.
"Perhaps it is because we are now SO
used to Yankee lying as to set down any
thing false because the say it, or perhaps
1t is that our citizens have heretofore read
in books about besieged cities, and had
the impression that in such cases people
could not go in or ont; meat or vegetables
could not come to market from the coun.
try, and no matter how tempting the sum
mer weather, family parties could not
make picnics in the rural districts. And
finding none of the conditions in the pres. .
ent situation, they say that there is no
siege.
They surmise that the whole of those
vast hosts, and this investment of q city,
and bloody arbitrameut of the great world
conflict of the age, must have been gotten
up IN order to amuse or delude conven-
ton now said to be assembled at Balti.
more. And they begin generally to doubt
whether 1t be indeed true, or was true a
few days ago, that some of the largest ar.
mics ever embattled upon earth were ad.
vancing with celebrity never before
known, to decide the destinies of q CONT
uent in our streets, and seal the grand
charter of her man freedom in flame and
blood, amidst the conAagration of our
crushing buildings and the murdero,is
shrieks of a hundred thousand souls,
"They say, 'Booh.' Say there has been
no such battle in hand at all, Let Grant
prove it; let him prove his existence to be-
gin with. Richmond is open to correction,
and is tired of waiting TO be taken. 1t is
rather droWsy affair, this life in a be-
sieged city. Richmond is in danger of
falling asleep on her seven hills ia this
still and sultry atmosphere. We can con.
ceiVe Of q certain lazy somnolence which
seems to be crushing ont our people,"

SENATOR WILSON, chairman of the Sen
ate military committee, is strongly oppos-
ed to the repeal of the $500 exemption
clause in the enrolment act, and many OF
the Wisest in both houses Of Congress
agree with him, and the longer the queS.
ton is considered, the grealer is the oppo-
sitiOn to the proposed measure. 1t is also
beginning to be more generally felt in
Congress, that it would be q mistake to
shorten the term of service to one year,
and there will be fight over the propo.
sitton. Mr.. Wilson wants to secure the
northern states permission to FILL their
quotas in any of the rebel states, and to
effect the passage of bill freeing the wives
and children of slaves who enlist in the
federal service. The passage of these
measures would be much more efetcual in
filing the ranks of the army with good
men and would do it with less friction than
to try aud enforce the draft with the ex-
emption clause stricken out.

AUTHENTIC /. accounts from the South
agree in stating that the present and al
most sole hope Of the rebels is that the
Democrats Of the North will elect the oext
President on the basis OF settlement by
compromise or recognition of the indie
Pendencs of the Confederscy if no bargain
can be made. Its this hope that stimu-
lates them to the utmost resistance during
the present campaign, for they know that
they cannot carry on a war like this for
series of years. The Richmond Examiner
of the 7th has an article upon northern
politics, in which it upbraids John Coch.

so soon forgetting the VOW he uttered in
g speech at Richmond, that if the federal
government should attempt to cOerce the
South, be (Cochrane) would be found

Here is the great point. The constitu-

The New York Tribune correspondent,
familiar with Richmond, describes the
powerful Notifications defending it on the
east and south as follows:
Looking to the southeast we find ForI
Jackson, near Fair Oaks, about three and
half miles from the city, between tbs
New Bridge and the York River railroad.
Then comes Fort johnson, just belo<f the
Chickahominy, in the neighborh6od of a
mile from the Mechanicsville pike. This
fort commands the MechanfcsvHIe bridge.
and, in fact, all the bridges and fords be-.
tween It and New bridge. Two miles and
half from the city, and about midway be.
tween the Virginia Central railroad and
Mechanicsville pike, is the Hdalakoff. y

Wilkinson'g or railroad bridge, and will in
fact, sweep all that part of the Chickahomi-

the Brook run pike, situate on high hill,
Is Fort Beauregard, commanding the Brook
run pike and Meadow bridge road. A mile
and half in advance of it is q great "a

tue bridge over Brook run and all iuterme-
Po'uIs On tue bteAm. Three and

Fort Lee, commanding both those thor.
