Ten days ago, in the extreme desrth Of
news from Grants army, we copied into
these columns, from the Richmond Enqui-
rer, some speculstions ss to the strategy
Of the campaign then pending. The ex-
tract given was from rebel correspond
ent writing from within Lees lines at Or
auRe Court House. It is worth re-prOduc-
ing now that Grants strategy has been
unfolded
The commonly received opinion that
Grant will attack General Lee in front
and in his fortihcstions is erroneous He
will seek to turn the flank Of our army,
and his policy is, evidently, to retain his
present position until his organisation
and equipment be thoroughly accomplish
ed, and then, by suddenly unfolding his
strategy, to surprise General Lee He may
march rapidly and without announcement
either to some point Of crossing the Rspi-
dan or RsppshsnnOck, or to Port Repub-
lie, thence to StsuntOn, thence to Lynch
burgh. 1 think an attempt to flank on the
east more probable; his army crossing Ct
some Of the lower fords Of the Rsppshan-
mock. This, however. is sll conjecture
and but the echo Of Washington gossip.
This rebel writer had more accurate con-
ceptions than General Lee. His conject-
ures were right-N ?. Tf8ss.

Grant on TakInE RIehmOnd.


Speaking Of Grants campaign, l wish
10 put on record little incident, which
have never yet seen in print snd which
was communicated to me by an officer some
time since, and which might have been
contrabsnd once, but is not now, since the
plans Of the Eastern campaign have been
developed.
While General Grant was in front Of
Vicksburg, he was oonVersing with several
officers on the subject Of the capture Of
Richmond. "Csn it be taken, General -
asked one Of these. "With ease, was the
response. "By the Peninsuls2" continued
the querist. "No," replied the General.
{" If l had charge Of the matter, would
want two large armies, one to move di-
rectly on Lee, and the other to land at City
Point and cut communications to the
southWsrd. Lee would then be compelled
to fall back, and the army from the North
could press, and, il possible, defeat him.
II he would open up communications
again with the cotton States, he must fight
the army south Of the James; and to do
this, he must cross his whole force; other
wise, he could be defeated in detail. 1.-The
did so cross, the northern srmy could take
Richmond; il he did not, that from the
south could move up the nights suoth Of
the James, and shell and destroy the
city"
communicated this fact to two conf
dentisl friends the day Grant was first
called to Washington; and now, for the
first time, make it public. At the time the
remarks were made, the General had NO
thought Of being called to the position be
now occupies.

and subsequently psroled, came into our
lines on Saturday night with the body of
! General WsdsWorth, which had been in
TERED by order of Gen. Lee in neat eof-
fin. He also saw Gen. Longstreet in his
tent. He is wounde' in his collar bone
The wound was not mortal, but would in
cspacitste him for active duty for some
time.
Gen. J. E. B. Stuart was net down at
Richmond at Ihs time that Sheridan was
near there, and is now in Lees army un-
hurt.
The rebel loss is tremendous, but there
is no indication Of their giving up yet
The rebel lines are well supplied by
lines Of interior works, and more are be
ing Constructed.
General Lee has not been wounded, as
the Surgeon saw and talked with him on
Friday, when he gave him permission to
take the body of General WadsWorth.

yet make make a desperate resistance.
