son. Th's is upon the suppositiou that
the rebels may prolong the war into next
fall and winter, for which of course We
must be prepared. Many of our present
troops will be entitled to their discharge
in August and September; and we must
arrange now for the supply of their places,
as we'll as to keep our armies strong and
full during what may prove wearing and
hot summer campaign. This is clearly a
wise, indeed only necessary precaution
and the draft is set in operation, therefore,

A white slave lately came into General
Logan's lines. His name is James LIE Roch,
of French descent by his father. His great.
grandmother was a pretty Indian girl, and
was reared by Mr.. Torrous, by whose son
she had daughter, who was sold 10 Mr..
Western, of Charleston, who had daugh-
ter by her. The latter was the mother of
this slave, and kept in servilude by her
half sister, Mrs. Smith, who afterwards
sold both mother and children to heartless
traders, who traficked them over the ooun-
try. This man was about forty-fve years
of age, slightly built, long sandy hair and
whiskers, and evidently without particle
of African blood in his veins; yet he was
the bondsman of his kinsman.

MR. ARNOLD, the Mayor of Savannah,
writes in private letter to friend in Bos-
ton that he believes majority of the peo-
pie in the interior Of Georgia, are in favor
of returning to the Union, but do not
know how to accomplish it. He is also
very certain that the general coufiscation
Of the cotton there, ordered by Secretary
Stanton, after Gen. Sherman had promised
justice to private claimants, has had very
bad effect. he says: Jsa
"Had the cotton been spared when it
was really private property, and had new
proclamation of amnesty and protection
of. all property except slaves been issued,
am we'll satisfied that all of Georgia
would at once have fallen into line, and
other States would soon follow. The saw
ing to the United States by the discontin-
uance of their vest war preparations at an
early period would far exceed any amount
of money which may be realized by the
sale of few thousand bags of cotton"

THE news this morning from Grant is of
the most exciting and inspiring character.
A great battle of three days duration, and
extending all along our lines South of the
James river, has been fought. The latest
news leaves it still going on. The results
so far are gloriously in our favor. We
have broken through the enemy'S lines at

has been terrific and desperate. The rebels
would seem to have rallied and re rallied,
and both lines to have swayed back and
forward for short distances, according as
the columns were massed or the lines were
weak,
We have no doubt that the beginning
Of the end" is now right before US. We
do not expect to hear of the termination Of
the present begun struggle short of the
complete dieablement OF Lee. If the South.
side road is cut at Burksville. the last link
of communication is gone, and all hope is
also gone. Lee must fight it out or starve
into surrender. We do not see that he can
get away by any possibility now. His ar.

erytbing that can make life tolerable. The
events of this week promise to be Of de.

through his army on Friday afternoon,
telling the men they were to make move
ment that would completely Illustrate
CRAFTS plans and break up the siege at

taken agree in saying that the design was
to push large force through the center OF
Grants lines, cut the railroad and make a
rapid march to City Point. There they
meant to destroy Gen. Grants supplies,
