The DeIusion of the North

From the London Tines
IL must be acknowledged that both parties in
this tremendous and doubtful struggle display
very high military qualities Whichever of the
conteuding generals is successful, they have both
shown the qualities which deserve success. The
Northern army must contain splendid materials
10 be capable of being handled with such ALSO
lutte Indifference to loss. and such hard unbend-
ing purposes as General Grant displays Ii is
sufficiently astonishing that the tremendous losses
10 the army do not affect the inhabitants OF New
York and " Washington with more grief. or at
least hesitation; but il is equally remarkable
that they do not seem to affect the spirits of the
army.
That capacity for not knowing when they are
beaten, which has is bu-lesque aspect in the
reckless Misrepresentation which dishonor the
New York papers, is yet real and deep rooted
quality in the people We think il miserable
deusion, which leads the North TO sacrifice tens
of thousands of lives and hundreds of millions
of dollars for an imaginary Union, but yet it Is
impossible not to feel that it Is great display of
foritude which carries them through IT, The
sufferngs. it is true are in great measure yicari-
Gus. but they must come home to the people
sooner or later, aud there are admirable qualities

WASHINGTON, July 4 1861

The position of the two opposing armies at
Petersburg is as follows: Gen. Grants left wing
rests on the Appomatox river. east of the town
His center crosses the Norfolk Railroad His
left wing. consisting of Hancock's famous corps
rests on the railroad running from Wilmington
10 Petersburg, at point four miles south of the
latter. No trains have been run on this road
however, since Gen. Grant began his operation
against Petersburg Ali the supplies for the
rebel army at Petersburg have been brought from
Lynchburg and Danyille. The two railroads
from these places unite At Burkesyiile, and the
road then runs TO Petersburg direct from the
west Beauregards corps is holding the town.
The main body OF Gen. Lees army Is between
the two railroads last named, his left resting at
Petersburg. It's center opposite our left flank, its
right bent back and prolonged some distance
down the plank road which runs from Peters
burg 10 Boydtown in Mechlen5urS county. In
this position the rebel army can oppose anv
movement that Grant can make toward the
west. and can protec; also the Lynchburg rail-
road The damage which Gen Wilson's caval-
~ inflicted on the latter. near Burkesvie has
already been repaired. and trains are running on
the road usual
Ii is now evident hos great a bluader General
Grant committed, in making his base City
Point and attacking Petersburg, instead of ma
king Bermuda Hundred New Market his base
and moving directly on Richmond without med
ding with Petersburg at all Gen Grants nine
teen DAYS operations before Petersburg have
been of direct advantage To the rebels, and not
the least advantage to Us. They have cost Us
the loss of fully 5000 men. Probably when
Is 600 more have been slain in vain attempts 10

base again and establish a new base either AT

The Philadelphia Press, edited by one of Mr.
Lincolns PRIV counsellors. has the following:
1t is not the business of citizen to speculate
upon the probabilities of the invasion; whether il
is aimed at Baltimore or Pennsylvania; il the
rebels are twenty or forty thousand strong. II
is the duty to oppose it.
According to this new Republican creed. the
people have no right to ask questions-even
thought Mr. Lincoln has denounced as a crime
their only duty is to fight, furnishing food for
powder, while the Administration will do all the
thinking necessary If the people will only fur
nish men to be shot, and money TO buy the DOW

EXCITEMENT IN BALTIMORE

There is some degree of excitement here, and
there is reason for it was informed by one of
Gen. Wallaces chief officers to day, that five of
the men who were engaged in the burning OF
Gov. Bradford's house this morning, were in the
CITY last night. Ii is undoubtedly true that there
are scores OF the young men Of Baltimore who
are now with the Confederate forces in Mary
land This fact creates an uneasy feeling here,
and it is idle to deny that il gives the enemy a
great advantage.
The seizure of horses continues to be practiced
remorselessly. and without respect of persons.
riously not only with the ordinary avocations of
life, but also with the more serious affairs OF
births, marriages and deaths. Several funerals
which had been appointed for Yesterday, were
unavoidably postponed, because the horses for
the hearse had been impressed. A nice young
man, who was cavortiEg gayly down Baltimore
street Yesterday afternoon, with a placid face
denoting mind at peace with all mankind. was
seized upon by squad of soldiers, his animal
cOn6scatej, and he was compelled to join IA gang
OF men who were engaged in the removal of
government stores and ammunition from the
warehouses in which il was stored, on board of
vessels i'm the harbor where it is supposed that it
is safer. This young IMAM was on his way to be
married. but he soon found himself engaged in
far different occupation This morning | over
took well known physician walking 10 the hot
sun. He was fastening to assist a lady whose
case was critical. but his horse had been seized
this morning. The case urgent, the distance
to walk was great, and whether or not he got to
his destination in time, do not know.
