The Military situstion-The Fighting
Near neutrality-suspicious. NJ Mobile.
On Wednesday last, at daylight, . heavy
cavalry force, under General Sheridan, moved
from the camp in front of Petersburg, and, as
the enemy must by this time know, passed
through Dinwiddie Court House, on it's way to
infiict damage on Lee at some point further
west At the same time two corps Of the Army
Of the Potomac moved out of camp, and also to
the left, in the direction hitherto taken in the
various approaches toward the Southside Rail-
road. All the Army Of the James and the Sixth
corps were left in position IN the lines hitherto
held by the Armies Of the James and Potomac.
Doubtless the cavalry operation is the real
and important one Of this movement, since the
infantry at most only threaten TO do what the
cavalry is absolutely doing; but by putting the
infantry outside Of his fortified lines General
Grant occupies Lees attention, and may tempt
him into some little blunder, while, having q
body Of infantry there in the open country and
well in hand, he stands ready TO take
advantage of circumstances and to make the
most OF any errors the enemy may fall into.
And Lee has already fallen into one very
grave one. It is good rule that * involved
in the Napoleonic maxim, never to do what
your enemy wants you TO do, and Lee has ap-
parently broken that rule by the battle fought
on Friday. The corps that moved out with the
cavalry were on Thursday night posted in posi-
ton in front Of the Boydton road, q little way
east Of Dinwiddle Court House. II IL obvious
that they were only put there to invite Lees
assault Lees force was known to be at an
other part Of bis lines, and, IL it had been In
tended to strike, these corps could have been
pushed on much further than they were on
Thursday, and couldAhave delivered their blow
before Lee could have made the most Of his
power of resistance. But they were purposely
held to give him an opportunity, and he took it,
Judging by the very dim light of the report,
Lee assumed the offensive and assailed Grants
lines at daylight on Friday. He supposed that
he would interrupt movement and hit before
Grant was ready; but he hit troops that had
waited for him nearly whole day. He ex-
posed himself TO the probability Of great dis
aster by this, while. If he had annhilated the
