GEN. GRANTS MOVEMENTS. :;
D. Il. Craip aren't of the AsancIated Press

D. h. Craig, agent Of the Associated Press
in New York, telegraphs Us the fact that the
Washington National IpteUigenceT of Saturday
morning, contrary to the eoft.repeated injunc.
tion ofthe War Department against pubtish-
ing contraband army intelligence, announces
neE movement by General Grants forces.
None Of the Baltimore or New York papers
published any allusion to this movement,
owing to the orders Of the War Department,
and the Associated Press agent does not feel
at liberty to state Its character or purpose.
What this movement IL; is left to conjecture,
The impression has gone about, through the
efforts ef the Copperhead press, with whom
s'the wish ID father to the thought" that
Grant Is about to abandon the siege Of Rich
mond and return to Washington, for the pur-
pose Of arresting the contemplated invasion
OF Pennsy lvania, &C., now reported to be
imminent. This, we feel sure in saying is
not SO. An officer Of the army, who reached
let. on..Saturday, and who accompanied Pres.
ideut Lincoln to the headquarters Of Grants
army on Saturday, 3oth nit and was present
at hi interview between President Lincoln
and Gen. Grant, says that the latter is not at
all discouraged By the recent mishap, but on
the contrary is entirely certain of SUCCESS in
the capture Of Petersburg and Richmond; !;
aud that President Lincoln, after his consul
tation with Gen. GraHt, expressed great con-
f1dence In the, SUCCESS Of the present cam
paigu.
In regard to the defense Of Pennsylraula
and Washington, which seem now to be
Threatened By considerable force, We have
the best reaeon for saying that a sufficient
hrmy is within speaking distance to give The
