The NV York Herald of the 22d deyoes much Of
i,s editorial space to tbs discussion Of the 6ct which
sseridans success at WncaS5ter will produce upon the
military situation in Virginia and Georgia. Says the
UraId Il Is a victory whose effects upon the stu.

General Grants grasp Of the whoe situation in Vr-
v.pia Sheridan, VIC have repeatedly shown, eould
Raye beaten Euy mouth ago "a easily az be cid on
Monday ast Grant WAS not resdy for the victory

pose he made Lee pay for IL"
,Tbsl a Ct will be seen In the triangle comprised be-
tween Richmond, Petersburg and Lynehburg. Sheri-
dan puahing Early toward Stanton, or beyond t. to-
,rds Lynchourg will very imperHtiVey divide the at

enforced by the vet6rIns undor Hood, whom Sher.
