TaE NEWS. |
Gen. Grant has swung forward to another
round Ut his ladder. BE has abandoned
White House az q tase, and has taken up the
track of the York River railroad, and plac-
5pc it in harges to be used elsewhere. As
f5r our hrmy, il hsb doubtless ere this COM
1ucnced new and grand scale Of operations,
viii the James River, the carrying out and
ca,-stcnc OF Gen. Grants plan, as the side |
on which alone Richmond can be put on 4 |
siegc basis, OF to use more common phrase,
The only profitable investment that can !
be made Of the rebel capital. On this base
Gen. Grant can cut of and hold the rebel |
communications with the South, and in CON
junction with the now more formidable ope-
rations Of Gen Hunter On the west, can
speedily make the rebel Occupancy Of their
lean aud furnished den very uncomfortable.
All IL going on well.
AL IL going on # ell Remember how
leadon footed were the days and weeks du- |
1iug which We al Of rs watched the siege Of
Vicksburg. VIC waited until It almost grew
upoo Us the certainty that the attempt was
failure, and then cana success, Glye
Grant time.
Neither Government nor the people should
waste time By sitting down and waiting for
war news. This ie IN importan Mt summer.
It should not be wasted. Under an ado
quite conscription Inv Nc should Al soon
n possible fill up to the maximum every
regiment in The field. In the event OF sne
cess ut Richmond We shall need men--frcsh
t-oops-to carry forward our successes. In
tho event Of Il failure We shall need them for
defense. So TINT in either contingency Of
Offensive or defensive operations we shall
need more men before midsummer, and our
holy Cause must suffer and be impcriled If
1heJ are not forthcoming.
Eorgan's raid in Kentucky assumes a mag
nit1dc for which We were not unprspared.
We have already, in previous references, sug-
xcstcd the readiness with which the rebel
leader could nass the rowing bands 1t some
prcconcerted rendezvous, and thue be found
TO have advanced a considerable forco into
ncnr proximity to the destined point OF at
1ack. This he seems to have doae, and 80

has defeated the Union Gen Hohson, and
