Grants Strategy Before Petersburg.
Grant determined to cross the James
at Wilcox's Landing, ten miles below
City Point, and entirely out Of Lees
observation, and to move thence direct
~ upon Petersburg with his whole
army. He would thus pass in rear of
Butler and attack the extreme right
flank of the confederate line, which, it
was certain, would now be held by only
g. small force. 1t involved the perform
ance of feat in transportation which
had never been equalled and might well
be considered impossible without days
of delay.
1t was all accomplished, as will be
seen, without mishap and in such an
incredibly short time that Lee refused
for three days to believe it. During
these three days, June Is, 16 and II.
Grants whole army was arriving at
and attacking Petersburg, which was
defended at first only by Beauregard
with about $500 men. Lee, with Long
streets and Hills corps, for the same
three days, lay idle in the woods on the
north side, only replacing some of
Beauregard's troops taken to Peters,
burg from in front of Butler.
But for this LongStreet's corps might
have manned the intrenchments of
Petersburg when Grants troops first
appeared before them, and it is not too
much to claim that his defeat would
have been not less bloody and disas-
trous than was the one at Cold Harbol
For while the intrenchments at Colo
Harbor were the poorest and slightest
in which we ever fought the Peters
burg lines had been built year before,
and were of the best character, with
some guns of position mounted and all
the forest in front cleared away to give
range to the artillery.
This, then, was really the nearest ap-
proach to "a crisis" which occurred
during the war, as will more fully ap-
pear as we follow the details Instead
of success elsewhere Grant here
escaped a second defeat more bloody
and more overwhelming than any pre-
ceding. Thus the last, and perhaps the
were not lost in the repulse of Gettys-
were lost during three days of lying in
camp. believing that Grant was hem
med in by the broad part of the James
below City Point, and had nowhere to
go but to come and attack us. The en-
tire credit for the strategy belongs. 1

may be shared by his chief of staff.

KANSAS COMMENT
POLITICAL TRADING.


Dan Anthony will. be nominated for
congress in the First district to sue
ceed Curtis, because the Curtis machine
has decided on that. A lot of other
curtis fellows will also run for the
nomination, but as the correct psyche
logical moment they will do like the
RABBITS did in the legislature in the sen
atorlal caucus, they will turn their
votes over to Anthony. It is none of
our business perhaps, but 1t is a pretty
dangerous state of affairs when poll
tcians run the people and not the peo-
pie run the politicians. The Kansan
likes Dan Anthony-we liked his father
before him. He has the breeding and
the nettle in him to make good in con-
gress- 1t is not Dan Anthony we should
object to, did we live in that district,
put rather the Internal trading and
dfckering at the Copeland hotel
month ago, which will eliminate in his
nomination for congress. 1t has come
TO that point in Kansas politics that
the people cut about as much figure
as the checkers on the board outside of
the kingdom. Conditions in this dis
trict are only a little less fragrant than
in the First district.-Concordia Kan
san.
