REBEL NEWS.
Grant's Operations on the James River.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, of the 8th.]
Scouts report that on Saturday last tbe en
emy towed up James river, above the month
of Powell's creek, a pontoon bridge, with sixty
teuts pitched upon it. Perhaps this is the
bridge upon which Grant hoped to pass after
brt aking through the lmes of Gen. Lee. But
as he failed to force his way through, the
aforesaid pontoon bridge may prove useless
above the mouth of Powell's creek, which is
in Prince George county.
This constructed pontoon bridge will span
the river, and should Grant reuch the James
river nfar Harrison's Landing, or opposite
City Point, it would enable him to throw his
army speedily across and push on to Peters
burg, while Gen. Lee was making the circuit
ari uiid by Richmond. The south stde is now the
point for which Grant it making-*-he has aban
doned all hope of taking Richmond except by
sitgc?by taking possession of Petersburg, and
with his cavalry cutting and destroying the
Danville Railroad and starving the city into
surrender. lie is endeavoring to repeat the Vicks
burg campaign. His failure to cross the Chick
ahominy may materially alter his plans; but
should he once succeed In fixing himself on
the south side, either north or south ol the Ap
pomattox, while his aftny would be no more
formidable there than anywhere else, his cav
alry could do us much damage and put us to many
inconveniences.
It is rumored that a cavalry command from
the James river crossed the Chickahominy yes
terday at the Forge Bridge, in Charles City
county going to Grant's army. It is supposed

Grant's going ovtr the James, if Let will permit

The Situation in Georgia.
[From the Atlanta Intelligencer of the 8th.]
important changes have taken place within
the past two days on the Georgia front. The
enemy have abandoned their works above Dal
las, and are withdrawing the masses and con
centrating in the strong lortiflcations nearer
tbe Etowah. This contraction of their lines is
evidently for the purpose of securing the es
tablishment of a depot of supplies on the south
side of the Etowah river.
If Sherman succeeds in this, he will make Alatoo*
na a base of operations against us, which will be
more formidable than any of the flanking operations
he has perpetrated during the campaign.
Mere Flanking.
[From the Boston Journal.]
The question suggested by recent operations
before Richmond is, "Will there be another
grand flanking movement by the army of the
Potomac 1" The general attack on the enemy's
works last Friday showed that they could not
be carried, except at a cost of life not war
ranted under the circnmstances. On the other
hand, Lee has ascertained, by sorties at all
hours of the day and night, that he cannot push
back our lines. It is for the interest ol Lee,
however, that the two armies should thus re
main for some time facing each other, as the
approaching sickly season and the stronger
rebel lines will prove to onr disadvantage.
Besides, the object of Grant is to advance, and
of Lee to stop him, and therefore a protraction
of tbe present state of things is a rebel gain.
But for these very reasons Grant will not ac
quiesce in it, any more than he did in the stop
page at Spottsylvania and on the North Anna.
But if there is to be another grand flanking
movement, designed to take our army into
Richmond, will it be on our right or our left 1
In support of the lormer suggestion it may be
said that the distance would be no greater than
on the other side, as Rlcbmond Is situated on a
bend in the James, which runs northwest above
the city, and for come distance below dne
north. This makes tbe two routes of approach
about the same from the present position of the
army Again, the passage of the Chlckabom
iny would probably be easier above, and a
movement in that direction not having been,
probably, as much expected, it might encoun
ter lees resistance and weaker fortifications.
Finally, such a flanking movement west or
Richmond would cut eff Lee's foraging ground
and main supply route.
On the other hand, (though it is doubtful on
which side this reason really weighs,) all the
precedents in Grant's progress thus far favor
a flanking movement to the left. This would
bring bim into connection with our navy on
the James, and into junction with Butler,
greatly shortening our base of supplies, and
presenting a more available point for assault
on the rebel forces. The crossing of the river
could be easily made, and Fort Darling might
be taken in the rear. Tbe movement, it exe
cuted with tbe celerity of those heretofore,
would probably cut off the large rebel force
now besieging Butler and guarding the Peters*
burg road. Such is a mere glance at both
sides of this question, which remains in the
best of bands, and the solution of which we
are confident of receiving In due time.
