uipidity with which (iencral (irant executes his

of (1 moral tdierman'd corps towards Jiickson, Alis-sis-ippi,
the day afti-r Yick.-hur fell.

there remains but two 5oureus of supply to

While it is undoubtedly true that (.'eneral (irant
is in a better po-ititin for .trikiu a deadly blow
at the rebel capital than he lias ever bn-n before,
it would be well not to bo too sanguine of immedi
ate re.-ults. There is a vast deal yet to do to cap.

outer line of entrenchments, two miles from town,
was stormed by lienoral Smith on tlio lath nit.,
and the town was occupied by llenerais Hancock
and Smith the next day.
Tho fact "that (Jen. (Jnint lias been aide to get
Peter-burg "o cheaply may doubtless he nooopled
as an evidence that his passage of tlio James, river
had taken liei.eral Lee by surprise. i
Had (Ion. L"o contemplated the pus -age of the
river a1 a poihjify he would have thrown a huge i
force, if not bin n hole army, into Petersburg during i
the two in which tirant was making his way
to tho river. He had ample time lo reach Peters- j
burg, and it was. certainly Iho point for him to hold. ;
His army is of moro cou-eipience to Hie Coufedc-
