Grants Line and Base.

l. The Richmond Enquirer thinks that General GRANT
will not 60 to the Peninsula as long shadow OF
chance holds out hope from the Fredericksburg route
The victory which McCLELLAsD would win over bis
enemies, should the 1t General be forced to fall back
upon the fatal line of the little Napoleon, would be as
damaging to LINCOLN as the defeat of GRANT by LEE
Therefore it is probable that GRANT will make one
more desperate attempt the line of the Pamunkey
before trying the Pennsular route and falling back on
West Point base. Ia the mean time, the 7th OF
June and the Black Republican Convention at Balti-
more approaches. Something must be DONE GRANT
must keep up appearances GRANT at present is about
as to tase the lower Rappahannock as be is
to West Point on the York River, but he could much
more easily reach West Point without going away from
Richmond, and may be compelled to adopt that bis
base. The base at Tappahannock and Port Royal is
only temporary arrangement which can hardly be
maintained.

Gov. Vance and tho Blockade

II will be remembered that Governor VANCE opens
bis last Message to the Legislature of North Carolina
with complaint that the port of Wilmington is more
efactualy blockaded from within than without, anC
hGt vexations rules enforced So to compel the
States to submit to the same terms are imposed on
private parties and cearances refused, and the
guns of the Notifications brought to bear upon our
own vessels to compela compliance.
Now, we desire to raise DO issue with Governor
VANCE upon this point, and have accordingly declined
to publish at least very ably written communica
ton upon the subject lest it should tend to open up
controversy that think it desirable to AVOID. 1t il
due to TRUTH however, to say that there is view Of
the subject which has not been presented by Governor
VANCE, but which in opinion at least, completely
alters the bearing of the case
Since the imposition of the restrictions alluded to by
the Governor North Carolina has actually had YES
sells coming properly under the classification indicated
by the phrase our own vessels" She had been, We
suppose cole ogner of the steamship Advance" but
had parted with portion OF her interest to private
parties, and whatever interest she now holds has
held at any time subsequent to the imposition Of the
restrictions referred to, has been and is complicated
with that of private blockade runners and perhaps for
the purpose of dividing the risk, has been scattered
about in sundry bottoms. These vessels only be
regarded joint stock enterprises, not State
ses Ii ght be convenient for private parties to
JOY peculiar mmunies by reason of this business con-
necon with the State but it could hardly be expected
that they would be relieved from the restrictions to
which others forced to submit; readily
how the States part In any vessel could 60
to and pursue its voyage, while that belonging to
the private trader remained in port.

The Situation.

Nv Glow degrees the war in Virginia and Georgia
seems to narrow down to the two points of Richmond
and Atlanta We know that General LEE now tele
graphs from TayorsVlle, 20 miles north of Richmond
and that his army holds Hanover Junction protecting
the Virginia Central Railroad. GRANT is supposed tc
have swung round to the East, and in all probability
he must swing round farther to keep up commullca-
tons and supplies. It does not seem at ell III
probable thst he should abandon his present line ano
adopt line virtually the same that attempted by
MCCLELLAN A week. or even less will probably de-
termine this No fears to be entertained in Ricn
mord.

cure base of the army have been completed Perhaps
this statement is correct.
The Chattahoocbee river runs through Upper
Georgia in direction from northeast to south west,
and passes within seven miles of Atlanta, which 1t
leaves to TIE soulheast. an opinion has lorg been
ent, rtaipd that the great battle Tor the defence of At

opinion recent movements appear to have added
strength. be people and preas Of Atlanta seem to
have pecOlle famlisrizsd with the idea of our army
falling back to the vicinity of their city, and OF the &C.
curre CO of great struggle Wtbi0 their hearing; and
the conef querce a Of the Atlanta papers says
that but little excitement was manifested when it was
announced tnat army was in al probability falling
back to the south bank OF the Cha!tahoochee--oDij
some four or FIVE miles distant from The city.
The Ctattahocchee where the railroad CROSSES IT, Is

whic is now before 1t is certain that FORREST is
