There was one man who was determined
th it the Virginia campaign should not go out
in any such innie and impotent conclusion as
th Petersburg fiasco. General Grant is not tbc
in tu, with such au army as he yet commands, to
cry a bn!t or admit a failure. Ignorant of when
be is beaten, esteeming nothing eoneluded until
everything is tried, and every resource exhau-tod,
be was content to await oiner ami neucr oppor

It Is bnt a liuv or two ago since every sign
set mtd to portend that the Rebel predictions of
the raiung of me siege oi retenourg woum oo
fullilltd. A large pi-rituii of the army was em
barked on transports, under sealed ordors, and
SDrcnhition was rile as to wbat line of oper itions
would in xt be adopted. And if, in the inointlme,
oihcroioects are on toot, it is sun not ocynmi me
reach of possibility that the siege of Petersburg
may be rabed. (Scleral Orant will certain'ydo
so. If his judgment should dietu'e this s'op.
It remains as yet a secret wun inoso in toe
conUdei.ce. of the c -nimaiulliig General, wbit
was the oriuinal destination of the troops that
were a few days ago placed upon transports in
the James river. That tbcy were shipped merely
for tho purpose of deceiving the enemy it hur lly
to tie supposed, for that would be calling iuto

was the original purpose to withdraw tue nouy
of troops named to ooinootht r field of operations ;
but that at the last moment it was determined,
from some Information snddenly received, to
throw this body on tbe north bank of the James,
for a new sally Inward Richmond b t'...U line.
With this view, the starting of the fleet in broad
day down tbe James, und its sudden and secret
recall after night, followed by tbu debarkation
of the troops- at Deep Bottom, was a well de
signed rutt at yimrrc, in keeping wita vieuurai
Grant'! favorite system of miliury stratagem!.
The line ol advance taken up In the Uto move
ment has been twice already, during the present
campaign, tbe scene of operations ; but they both
rllili red from me in-eieni movement in mat ouu
weie but feint. During the operations attending
the transfer of the army across tbe James river,
tbe 6th Corps was thrown forward on tho roads
leading lo Maivcra tun, aim it is ireso in me
public recollection thnt three days previous to the
last assault on the lines of Petersburg, tbe 2d
Corns, accxini uanied hy tbe cavalry, made de
monstrations on tbe roads by the north bank of
the James, with a view ol calling away
detacbmeui! of I.ee s army from t'etersburg,
while the real action was made elsewhere. The
cresent movement, whether desurned to aim
directly at the capture of Ricbmoud by a coup de
uimn.or only toseenre such positions as uny
further and facilitate subsequent operations
pgainst the Rebel capital by a slower process, is
at leust a trriuut one. Iadeed, from the distribu
tion of lor-'e, it would Appear that tho troops left
in the works before Petersburg are reduced 10
a purely subsidiary role; and what they do will
depend almost entirely on the developments made
by the powerful body operating on the north side
of the James.
Of the preliminary operations of this fnree, you
have already received advices ; they have beu
marked by entire success ; anu tnougii no ueci-

A successful charge in tbe morning by portions
of both corps resulted in driving the enemy from
their fust line of rule-pits, and iu the evening a
succefcsful assault ana flunking movement, ny
General Uirnc-J'f command, dislodged the R'.-oel
from their tmcond line. These positions were not
pained without severe loss, but they were worth
v. hat they cost, as the points secured admitted au
extent-ton ana ueveiopmem ot our nue.
Accotdinely, on Monday, the 10th Corps, which
bad previously held the left of the line, was
moved round, and look position on the right of the

THE II1AM WAR.
Dkkveh City, C. T., August 18. The regi

by the War Department tltree days ago, to fight
the Indiana, is already more then half filled. It
is expected it will be In the field in less than te:i
d ijs. It is to operate In tbe Platte valley and to
protect tbe overland mail and wagon trains.
In this they are to have the co-operation of
troops from the east. It is hoped the route will
soon lie established, and tbe IuJIans severely
chastised. At present all trains and mail coaches
are stopped.
Friendly Indians report that extensive com

hoes, Klewas, Sioux, Camanches, V'tvs, and
Skancs, and that they iutend to wage a war of
extermination agaiust the w hi'es. -
Martial law is being enforced bere, and all
places of business have been closed until further
orders.

But in looking beyond Ihu immediate bounds of
events huppening aud likely to buppeu in the pre

estimuie (heir bearing on the general scope of the
campaign in Virginia, we must take into account
the position, relations, and prospects of all the
other forces operating in this theatre of w ar.
Tbe I line lias passed away whn we saw the
aggregate of all tbe contending forces massed in
tw o solid "points of mighty opiKsitc." Looking
ut tbe distribution of General Grunt's forces in
Virginia, we find it bisected into two nearly equal
parts, or rather we find two bodies siiitleiently
formidable lo be called independent armies. The
one is the army now oiwratiug south of Rich-,
mond i the other the army operating in the She
nandoah valley. . . ;

Probably no part of New Jersey is nvre

been cleared aud prosperous settlements estab
linked, around which productive farms are now
cultivated, furnishing the New York and Phila
delphia snorkel! every variety of produce, the
uewly-construeted railroads affording speedy and
ample means of communication. The occupants
of this region are mainly German! and New
Euglanders, who have brought with tbem tbe
