Matters are growing emnparatively it'ft iu

sbellitg of tho city. A Fct 'rsb.irg j-ap.T say
of the fituat'on :
A itiiet reigns along the !!n s. In fact, if wo
may fo express ourselves, yesterday w.is the
Utiictcst dey of the siege, and pissed awsv un
ninrked even by the n'tal shcllin.;, niornr and
picket tiring.
The enemy has shown Iiinivo.f to be vry
kindly disp'scd towards the city during the past
todays. Ifwc m ay except a few stray sli :,
he lias not thrown iviy sh lis in tho corporate
limits since last Monday week.
This quiet is, of c iinse, inesplie.ihle, and, f r
all we know, the enemy may bo secretly con
cocting some diabolical scheme, in the shape, of
another "brilliant mxement," for our benefit.
Grunt certainly is not idle. It would l a disas:
tious to aim to remain so. The season for si. c
oe'sful operations is rapidly slipniu away, and
If be loses the opportunity he hints-li is lost.

We leant from the best authority that the
enemy has contracted his lines consbleratily ou
his left uiir riht and has withdrawn his pick
ets some distance from tho points re. ent:y occu
pied by them. I'll ! enemy is also seen iu greatly
diminished force n our rieh:, which strongly in
dicates that he has withdrawn trcops fro ai that
direction.
F.verytbuig indicates tb it the gp-at Yankee
army, which but recently proseeute l offensive
operations s.( vigorously, arj no thioiviug them
selves on the defensive.
This is evident i,rjt (,nlyi( tho contri tion of
their lines, which they so recently and so bjhlly
csteiiiled, but in tho diminished numbers which
they present to our trout, and the at least partial
cessation of active movements.

It is rumored, with what truth we knov not,
that tho Yankees are cutting a canul .f uss the
narrow neck of lan 1 formed by a bend in tile

we ptcsiinie, ith tho firlure ho;'0 of li inking

they will soon discover that ditching, like mining,
i.id very well in tho vicinity of Yicksburg, but
neither run lie successfully prosecuted nnyn hers
m the neighborhood of tho lames. The gap is
only about half a milo in width, while by water
the distance round the bind is seven miles.
If tho Yankees mo really ditching at this
joint, as reported, :ht v are only doing what tho
commercial men of Richmond ought to have
done long years ago. It was ever an impediment
In the way of our trade, iind the bend, which is
shut otf from breees from almost every n taitor,
was always familiarly known by the sailors, wbo
held it in special dread, as "Pull and be ."
1 here may be some truth in the rumor, but wo
arc, nevertheless, Inclined to belieso that before
many weeks have passed, Grunt, Instead of
ditching on tho J unes, beneath a blazing sun,
will be making trucks before a victorious army,
in search of a siil'o shelter behind the fortifca
tions id' Washington.

A gentleman by tho ambulaneo train yester

the Yankees are in heavy lorec changing their

and Dinwiddle.
The Esim yesterday says :
"The situation seems unchanged, so far .;9 can
be learned from observations o:i our lines. A
bravo .com, who returned from the cue nv's rt ar
at u late hour Wednesday night, says that there
are undoubted evidences ot tho diminution of
Grant's army near Petersburg by the recent with
drawal of forces. The gre.'.ter portion, if not all
of these withdrawals, went d nvn the James
river. It is supposed that they h.ivo been sent to
the I'pper Potomac; but of tuis there Is no posi

I lysses Is trying to repress the Imp iticnce of
the piople of the North ; to remove their d iu!:s
of bis success and uispcl their nnreasonab'e unti.
eipations, while modesily promising them that Iu
w ill accomplish certain resulis, which no one upou
the luce ot the earth honestly oelieves be is eapu
lileot iffi cting. Grant recently took sundry juleps
with Gin c iin.r Kamscy, of .Minnesota, and during
their hobnobbing, he asked Kumsey to "request
tho pio,.l; of the North to possess their souls with
putii n e;" that all will como out right ; tint his
siicee-s is beyond d aibt; that his grand piun has
tM.cn curried out so fir successfully, and is cci tain
lo be successful in the end.
General Grant has never felt s'rcatercutnideace
of success than lie feels now ; but it is a stupen
dous work that be bus before him; and the peo
ple inui-t not be unrcusouable in their anticipa
tions; 'in v must uot expect that to he done ia a
week whii ii eaiiiiot be done in a mouth ; for if
tbry wi.i have, patience ilice will in due time be
fully repaid for the exeidse of that virtue by the
sp.t nilid -urec'S that will crown the efforts of the
Army of the Potomac to overwhelm the chief
aimy of the Rebellion. Tho destruction of Lee's
army will be utmost equal to the suppression of
the Kebelllon. The people, therefore can atlsrd
to wui', if that achievement is likely to ro-ult
liom the present apparent inactivity for it is
more apparent than real.

Grant has sent away to tho valley of Virginia
a very considerable portion of his Arinv of the
Potomac, w hich has been operating on "this lino
all summer." It is not, however, yet possible ta
ay positively whether ho designs to abandon
entire ly Ids position before Petersburg. W'c do
not think he will abandon it, until the presence
of eveiy man he can niu-ttr Is imperatively de
Uiardtd elsewhere. In tho lucuntimo much of
Ids force a. is left ou the Appomattox will keep
close in their Impregnable earthworks, bung away
pretty leiMiicly ut Petersburg, and thus keep up
a Bbow of besieging that town.
It is very clear what me Grunt's plans in the
vrdley. He proposes to menace Kurlv with a
heavy foiee in front, while he scuds down from
Alexandria or Lecsburg a heiivf column, proba
Idy consisting of a corps just detached from the
atmy at Petersburg, to run through one of the
gups in the Hiue Itidge, turn our Hunk, or strike
us iu the rear, a his is a vory pretty plan, it it
could 1 e carried out.
From the present aspect of afTairs wc loci uu
thorlu'd to cutcrtuiu the hope that tho seat ol war
will, at no distant i!ay, be transferred from our
iniBieuiutu neighborhood. Those who consider
Gram committed to "lighting it out on this liue
all summer" do uot bear in mind thut Grant, iu
making this declaration, was discreet enough not
to dchne what he ineaut by "this II ne."
Wcund the world understood him to mean a
straight line drawn from Oornmiina ford to the
city of ltichmoadj but he muy now say he had
reference to a liue which might be drawn lu
countless ipzugs and over such an extent of
country as might be demanded by the exigencies
of the iiillitury situation.

To read of ttio severe marchings and ccutnt ir
marchings of theso latter, when ';o roiucral'cr
that tho thcrmomoier ranged so high, and that
many of them nro of a full buh.t of i idy, excites
pity, and pity is akin to iove. 'Ihe w.irst of it
was they did not in tho least kuoiv where Oogo to
Iind the ltobels.
Thiy wore only anxious, it would icjm.to i'n l
those Rebels to moot theui :i e on a fi. r lield, lu
which case they would hae preyed God to 1: ive,
miicy on tho llebel' souls. .Somehow ili rlng
those several days when General Pariy's men
wero in Maryland an 2 Peiinvlv.in ., tho rogues
could never tic found, although, we are told that
the moment they crossed the Potomac, at Sprlag
run, thirty ibousand l e Vtra! soldi 3rs were at
once marched to rrtdcrick, arriving there on a
Sunday evening. Hut on Monday morning,
learning that Knrly and lireek nridgj h.vderossed
at Palling W aters, near V'diar:isrort 'cnissod,
w hich way lin y iuld not toil , they retraced
their steps to the ferry, and commenced inarch
ing up the valley ol the bcn indoah. liutiu'aia,
"before lin y hud got well in motion th j orders
were cotinicmiaiidcd, and they reerossel the
Potomac, und marched stiiiightf' r Washington."
At Washington, however, win no rest for th-.Mii,
and they were instantly sent hack t ) I rederlc!..
No wonder Ihe urmy corre.Siond-'Kt adds : 1 ho

singular thing Is, that in nil Di.se long aud fiil
s me niarehi s they c hi Id never meet with " IC r'y

strange enough, Inasmuch as it n; ;.o.i:s bv O'h- r

sand srdeni Federal troops were so laboriously
t'-iling over dusty roids, m the sun, and drop
ping down by hundreds with fatigue and
hardship, as they euitorly rushed in search
of tlm licbtls every where where the Rebels
wero not, it would seem by this other account
that Geneial Knrly wus addicting himself
to ihe sweet pleasures ami gentle toils of an agri
cultural and pastoral lite, threshing out ids wheat
under the shade of trees in sequestered vales,
nnd tho Kebel swoid was turned into a reaping
hook, and brigades thut had often .reaped a bur

villow cars lu swaths, tojiirft; not too ardently,
but like anyrtadiunisniiis, while buvcracks

gushing springrni-place of their evening repast
nnd repose. Home are detailed to pull fodder
( fa n t uiwi) for the fair herds thut come wend

pustures beyond the river; lor Kurlv bus now
abiinuuut swarms of cattle und sheep dotting the
