Nav YoEK, Feb. 1.-The Richmond
Examiner Of the 5th says:
Il appears that the enemy still holds
bis defenses on Hatcher's Ran, where
be is reported TO oe heavily entrenehed
His movement Of cavalry in the direc.
ton OF Dinwiddie c. II. seems to have
been planned aud executed 70 give bis
infantry time TO sntrench at Hatcher q
Ran, which they seem to have done very
edectnslly. As matters stand, the Yam.
KEGS have extended their lines two OF
three miles, bat have not advanced
them.
Besides the casualties in officers in
Gen. Lees report, ze hear that Capt.
Floyd Of the Florida brigade, and Col
Scott, Of Florida, were painfully wound

The Missouri Democrat claims that
the transfer Of the 23d army corps from
Clifton on the Tennessee River, to the
Chesapeake Bay, within ten days, and
without accident, is the greatest trans
portation feat known to military history.
We think the transportation Of the
llth and 18th corps from the Army OF
the Potomac to Chattanooga, was done
as quickly and as safely The two corps
had fully as many men as the 23d corps.
The storming Of Lookout Mountain
crowned their arrival, and may like
victory greet the 23d corps on its arri.
val at the new scene Of operations

The New York Times.

This paper, which claims to be, and
is regarded as, special supporter..ofthe
Administration, is gailty Of bIabbing
army movements in manner that de-
serves worse punishment than eensure.
IL published full particulars Of the
POrter-Butler expedition, and thereby
contributed largely towards its defeat
II now proclaims that Gen. Thomas is
organizing large cavalry expedition to
attack Selma, Montgomery, and Mobile.
The Times is certainly beside itself.
Such criminal recklessness the Govern
ment should punish severely. How
many valuable lives will be lost BY this
premature announcement? Can the
Times tell7 Forewarned is forsarmed,
and hundreds Of our gallant boys will be
made TO bite the dust--if the expedition
itself is not failure by reason Of the
preparations the rebels will be able to
make from helng thus early warned
Western papers have been proverbiAlly
careful in speaking Of contemplated
army movements, and ia the West alone
have our armies bsen continually sue
cessful. The New York papers have
thwarted nearly every military under
taking in Virginia and on the coast, and
they now seek to spread their malign in
ilaeuce over the operations Of our armies
10 the West We should like to see the
Tines called to account for this gross
violation Of the rules Of the War Depart
ment, this outrage on common sense,
and this criminal trifing with the lives
Of gallant and patriotic men.
