The news from the grand army under
Grant, i today encouraging During
the past few days, Wills the telegraph
has been silent concerning his movements,
Grant has been actively at work, and to-
day We are given the result Of his labors.
Finding Lee strongly intrenched upon
the South Anna, and deeming his position
impregnable to an assault in front, the
Lieut. General has had recourse again to
his rnatchless ingenuity, aud-by the exer-
else of a little strategy-by the rapid and
unexpected execution Of movement to
the enemy's right--Lee's flank is turned,
and he is driven from his works, as effect
ually as could have been done by the bay
onet. Thus has Grant achieved another
complete victory over the master mind of
the rebellion; anu one of the most cheer
ing features in connection with this vic
tory is the fact that it has been won
fully and thoroughly won, without loss Of
life. l, has been. contest between mind
and mascle,--and mind is winner.
While the Army of the Potomac has
been successfully going forward to the in
evitable reduction Of the rebel Capital, the
army under Sherman has not been idle.
Our last reports leave him in possession
of the town of Dallas, but little more than
a days march from Atlanta. This great
manufacturing centre Of the Confederacy
is destined very soon to succumb to the
Federal arms, and may be, ere this in
our hands. The capture Of this place, by
Gen. Sherman, will strike a severer blow
at the interests Of the conspirators than
would the reduction of the Capital By
Gen. Grant. for here it is that their ammu-
milton is prepared, and here are located
the manufactures that supply them with
arms-as New England is to the United
States. 80 is Atlanta to the Southern Con.
federacy. and as between Richmond and
Atlanta, the capture of the latter would
be by far the most fruitful victory.
The defeated and disorganized remnant
of Banks army is again on friendly soil
being reorganized, and preparing for an,
other campaign.
Gen, Hunter has superseded Gen, Sigel
and is about to start forward. with what is
left of the army Of West Virginia, to CO.
operate with Gen Grant.
