In military circles it is believed that
Lee will be compelled to attack Grant for
selfprsservatioa.
Dispositions which may not now be d.
vulged have been made to prevent the
rebel invaders now on their way to Rich
mond from reaching that city withou,
great loss, and recapture of large por-
tlon OF their plunder.
The report Of Secretary Stanton re-
signing is more prevalent to-day than
ever, but it is undoubtedly false.
