~. ANOTHER FIGHT IMMINENT. eij q
i The enemy are reported to be massing
troops on the right of Our lines on this side
of the river, and in the vicinity Of Battery
Harrison. There is no doubt but that
Sheridan has sent considerable portion OIL
his command to the James, and that some
of them have arrived. 1t is evidently the
| intention of Grant to make another "grand
Reconnaissance in force" before the expi
ration of the year, and it is equally certain
chat when he does make it, the usual result
will follow-his repulse, with heavy loss.
| MOVEMENTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
The enemy made slight demonstration
in front of General Buffers lines, held by
his cavalry, on Wednesday, but were forced
back without accomplishing anything
There was considerable, firing of artillery
and musketry on the lines south and south
west Of Petersburgh, on w ednesday and
Thursday. The express says our scouts re.
port the arrival of heavy reinforcements to
Grant within the past few days.
SHERIDAN REINFORCING GRANT.
The Petersburg Express is of the opinion
that there is little doubt but that Grant is
receiving heavy reinforcements. They are
believed to come from Sheridan's command
in the valley. Our scouts report the arri-
val of numbers of troops within the past
few days. 1t is not improbable that the
greater portion of Cavalry" of Sberidan's
command will be brought up the James to
co, operate with the armies of the Potomac
aud the James in their final assault on the
brave army of Northern Virginia in front of
Petsrsburgh aud Richmond.
COMPLETION OF DUTCH GAP. 3
There was rumor last night that the
Yankees had completed the Dutch Gap
Canal. We placed little reliance in it, be-
cause we had information from sources usu.
ally reliable, that was in direct conflict
with the above report.
MOVEMENTS TO BRING GENERAL SHERMAN
UP WITH A SHORT TURN.
The Richmond morning papers Of the 2lst
instant are very guarded in relation to Sher
mans movements, and are without any
positive news from him. The Enquirer en-.
deavors to ignore the fact of his advance
from Atlanta, and to delude its readers with
statements to the effect that Sherman was
falling back beyond the Chattahoochee river
in order to 60 into winter quarters. In an
editorial on the subject Of the number of
State officers exempted from military duty
the same paper says the aggregate go, s84)
is "as large as the army with which Sher-
man is invading Georgia" The Sentinel
also remains silent in regard to Sheruan's
movements but has the following sugges,
tive statement:
We have nothing additional from Geor-
gia that would be prudent to publish aohile
certain military operations are taking place,
which, it is believed, will bring Mr.. Shsr>
man up with a short turn. The enemy are
without information as to his movements,
and we have no intention of enlightening
them on the subject. -
