So far as Petersburg is concerned there Is
no more prospect Of the resumption of active
bostilities now than there was two weeks ago.
And in regard TO Atlanta, there Is too much
reason to fear that the attack Of the Confeder
ates on Gen. Sherman is only the preclude 20 an
attack in such force az will result in a very diff
fereDt manner than the public have been led to
suppose.
At all events, il is known that the ConfedeT-
ates are so confident that both Grant and Sher-
man will be defeated that they are looking for
ward TO active offensive campaign against the
North. to be carried on by armies amounting to
$50, 600 or 900 men. The preparations for
this campaign are completed. and it will soon be
commenced If it results in the capture OF
Washington, Baltimore and Harrisburg, and
these are said to be the objects which the rebel
leaders have in view. Mr. Lincoln nav have
reason TO repent of his arrogant demand that the
South shall emancipate all their slaves a con-
