le is expected at any moment all along the lines. For our own part, however, we see no indications of any active movements for some days to come, unless, indeed, they shall be initiated by the enemy, which is hardly probable, as it is known that Grant is passively awaiting reinforcements to enable him to "crush the rebellion" at one blow. That this is his plan is foreshadowed by his own declaration, and that he will be foiled we as firmly believe as we believe that tomorrows sun will rise. ell illustrated by a view of the shipping at City Point. Vessels of every class are constantly seen moving up and down the river, while others are anchored out in the stream, or moored at the wharf discharging freight or receiving the wounded of Grant's army, to be transferred North. An immense wharf has been constructed, and large warehouses have sprung up in every direction. The branch railroad from the City Point track to the Yellow Tavern has been completed as far as the Jerusalem plankr
The New York Herald of Saturday last, the 10th instant, has been received. It is altogether devoid of news. The situation with Grant and Sheridan is without change: The Herald says if it can judge from the information which reaches it from different quarters, the present calm only indicates the coming storm. Generalding Mosby's (the most notorious of all), have been ordered to repair forthwith to Richmond, to take part in a grand attack which is now being prepared against General Grant's army. It is said that part of General Hood's defeated Georgia army has already arrived at Richmond for the same purpose.

As regards the final issue of the war, we consider the prospects of the Confederates to be as good as ever; but the Federals have shown such insensibility to defeat, and such an inflexible tenacity of purpose, that we cannot anticipate any early termination of the strife.

Indeed, he thinks if they will only send Grant one hundred thousand more men, he is sure that not more than three hundred thousand will be required, and two-thirds of twill only be required to keep open roads and rivers, restore commerce, and settle other matters appertaining to conquest, Grant having by this time done all the fighting that is to be done. Last of all, to lull the whole nation to rest, Seward tell. That the draft will be executed, and that completely and thoroughly, we repeat we hold to be absolutely certain. That Grant will be heavily reinforced, although for the present he may not be able to obtain the full hundred thousand that he calls
