have for some DAYS relrained from speaking
of the movements Of Gen. Grants army so as not Il
give Johnston the benefit Of the information in his ne

retcence viii now no doubt have passed before this
can become matter Of publication.
sHERIDAS's CAVALRY CORPS.
THIS gallant command. so prominent in cutting the
luguar vein of the Confederecy, called, is now en-
camped Immediately AROUND Petersburg. The red and
lwhie flag alternaed with the white and red star, Of
the Commundcr.iu.Chief waves at the gate Of one Of

in the April breczes, amid the yernal groves of the sub
urban districts, which daily resonant with bugl'
calls the notes Of martial music the songs Of the oya
birds the ncislng of impatient war horses and tho
acclaim Of victorious heroes resting on their anres
and awaiting orders.
THE SECOND CORPS

IHE REBELS.
Until this thing definitely settled there will be
any quantity discomfort and insolencc on the part 81
Rebel officers who viii have lost their commissions aud
much Of their property by Union success, that will have
to be kept within hounds by plenty OF Union bayones
Beside, the Union men among these must be pro
teced from their arrogance and insoonce at all hazards
This of itself viii require large armed force Tor some
time 10 come.
Furthermore il viii take large armyyet TO enforce
the emancipation laws throughout tie South, and Sc
cure 10 the freedmen their rights under the new regime
The Rebel armies will soon be broken and dispersed
but large proportion of the individuals resulting ren'
their dissolution will have TO be brought to sense OF
common deceney at the point of the bayonet.
THE EFFECT OF TIE ASSASSINATION
upon the army has been to make officers and men more
chary of the magnaumity and liberaty they were 80
ready to show in the hour OF complete success. They
reminded by this act of representative man that
the Gendish spirit they have been contending with for
the last four years is yet extinct and must be stu
dionsly and coufageously guarded against for the
present.
NEWS PROM JOHNSTON
is eagerly looked for here but scantily received The
army here is curious TO know whether the war II
actually over if there is TO be another campaign
after the unsuTendered remnants Of the Rebel forces
THIS question will doubt be settled now very soon
