Thb news rf Grant’s defeats in Virginia
was not known in Kaglandat *o time .of the
departure of the atesmtbjp Australian.—
Tbe ezsgeratfd accounts of *e Yankee papers
have, however, been received and commented
upon. The following extracts from the latest
English papers received, will be found in
teresting : (
[Prom the Londoh Globe, Msy 20 ]
It is plain that General Grant is playing a
bold game for high stakes. Wi* his main
a.rmy in the imiir wf Beaton Virginia, h«
strikes directly” at Biohmond. To facilitate
this, hiB ohief objeot, he had set in motion two
colnmna on his flanks—tho right oolomn in
the Shenandoah Valley, while guarding that
road, it visibly dependent for its safety on the
sceeees of *e main army; the lo!t column, on
the right bank of *e James, at present inde
pendent of *e main army, would no less be
eomptllsd to vstr.at by any failnre in the cen
tre Supposing tbe main army to he success
ful, then Siegel and'Smith’s columns may be-
eome thsrp and d, atraolive weapons.
What General Grant aimed at was, proba
bly, to fight and defeat General Lee'as soon
as be cotnJ in Spotsylvania, and drivo him
to retreat, not upon Richmond, bat upon
Gordcnrvillr; then to move rapidly over the
Not* Anna upon tbe Central Virginia Rail
way, thus ialerjroaiog between Richmond and
Lee, and, trusting to ihs activity and skill of
Siegel and Burnside to hold Lee in the moan-
tains, then to attack-Richmond on one or
other banks, or bo* banks, of the James, with
his own and 8mi*’s troops. If this conjeo-
turo be correct, it most be confessed Ihs) Gen.
Grant has entered upon a largo and perilous
undertaking. . Whether it is correot, how far
it ia oorrsot, how the! Confederates fared in
ihe notion which appears to have begun on ths
Gib, wo shall not know for some days. But
so far as wa oan read the meagre information
supplied to-dsy, such are the impressions it
leaves on onr mind,
[From tho London Nows (Exstsr Ball organ), May 21st ]
* lt is perhaps somewhat prema
ture to epeoulate with any confidence on the
campaign whioh has jut opened. Evan some
of ihs principal faots seem to be doubted.—
Thus. Whilst on the cno hand *e landing of
Butler’s troops at City Point is stated aa cer
tain by Borne, on tbe other hand it seems to be
believed by others that Butler is advancing
from Gloucester Point, which is on tbe north,
bank of York river, upon Lbb’b communica
tions This latter corjcetur* seems scarcely
probsble. for it is utterly inoonsistontwith the
intelligence that Beauregard is at Petersburg*
with 80,000 men, for such a force in such a
position would be absolutely uselesi. The
prcrbsbillty is that Grant has intentionally
spread all sorts of false rumors, in order tb
drosivs the gaping publio of Now York and
his adversaries, to judge from the newspa
per aocounts, he has admirably succeeded in
his design.
tub' FEELING IN LIVERPOOL.
[from the Liverpool Journal, May 21.]
. * Although everybody has arrived
at the conclusion that tbe battle In Virginia
has been fought, nobody har tpade np his mind
an to tbe result. The talk on ’Change, yea,
teroay, was that if tbe Federate have been un
equivocally triumphant, tha war writ soon be
over, but that, if the Confederates have won
*e great fight, or oven held their own, the
war wiirgo on for a few months longer, when,
from confessed exhaustion an bo* sides, a
compromise will he inevitable; that *4 worst
fear, however, ia generally *o strong one, end
that the big fear is that Grant will win; that
in tfcat case sundry people will have to pnt
their booses in order; that reaction is always
accelerated by tutfonnded apprehension; that
vague reports about tSe quantity of cotton in
America will at first be credited, and that im
patient stllrre will throw down the market,
.that bankers will look grave add proceod to
realir.s; that creditors will he urgent andyua-
licioas; that epeenlaton will shun (he Flags,
>r all that is left of them, and that the do-
iretsion will be unnatural; that, on the other
hand, if Ihe chance of peace retires still far
ther in *e distance, spinners will become
venturesome; thst tho speoalalbrs will take
stock of clronmstanots, and aftivo at the eon-
olnalon that the denufhd for eotton will ex-
oe d the supply, and that prices not yet dreamt
of will bo realized. 4

To Ihe Senate and Home of Repreeentativee :

eration ot Congrea a letter and enclosure from
the Secretory of War, with my concurrence

Washington City, Jana 7.J
Sir : I beg leave to submit to you a report
made to me by the Provost Marshal General,
thowing the reenlt of *e draft now going on
to fill the defioienoy in *s quotas of certain
States, and recommending a repeal of the
(flatus in *e Enrollment Aot, commonly known
*e tares hundred. dollar clause. The
recommendation of ths Provost Marshal Gen
eral ta approved by this Department, and I
trust that lt will be recommended by yon to
Congress.
The recent successes that bavo attended onr
arms lead to the hope that by msinlainiilg oar
military* strength, and giving it snob an in-
creaee aa the exteuded field of operations may
require, an early'termination of the war may
be obtained. -Biit to accomplish this it' is ab
solutely neooss try that efficient means be
taken with viger and promptaeaa to keep ta*
army up to its strength, and supp y dafioien-
clqfi occasioned by kisses in the field.
To ta st end resort most be bed to a draft:
bat ample experience has now shown that the
peenniory exemption frustrates ths ot jut of
the Enrollment law by furnish lag money in-
stead cf man. +
An additional reason for repeating the ex-
emption danse ta that it is oontemplatod to
make the draft for comparatively a shortterm.
The burden of military servica will thorefstto
be tightened; bat its certainty of furnishing
troops ta an absrlnte essential to success. I
have ihe honor to beyonr obedient servant.

_ 1 invite yonr attention to the small proper-
lion of soldiers being obtained under tae t-x-
iriinglaw. I see no reason to believe that tbe
army oan be materitoUy strengtaened by draft
so long as tbe three hundred dollar clause is
in force; nor do ( th ink it safe to assume that
the commutation paij by t, dra,fled man will
enable the government to procure a volunteer
or substitute in his piece.
I do sot think that large bounties by the
United States should be again resorted to for
raising troops.
I recommend ihet tbe three hundred -dollar
la? clause, us it is known, be repealed.

servant. Jai. B. Far,

adoption at an early date.

The news rospeoling the advance 'of Crook
upon Lynohbarg produced no liula'snxiaty
when publiely etated oa yeeterday. lt was
with considerable relief, then, that the intel

statement qf a courier, an error had uoourrod
respecting the proximity of the enemy to
Lynohbarg, and that Ihoy had not, in fact,
been within twenty miles of that place. Per
fect confidence was, felt at the War Office en
yesterday as to tae safety of Lyoohburg.
The Riohmond Saetinel, of the 14th in

Grant having abandoned the White House
as a base of supplies, on Sunday night evacu
ated his intrenohments, and crossed to the
Seuthaide of-, the Chickabohuny on, Monday
morning. Hta lines extend from. Malvern

The Dispatch of the same date has the fsl-
lawing:
At an early hour yesterday morning'the re-
>orte of oannon in the direction of Bottom’s
iridgs gave warning that active hostilities
had been resumed, though to what extent was
not known until a later hour 01 tho day. A
rumor wsb soon in circulation that Grant was
moving hib .whole army towards the James,
and abandoning hta position near Cold Har-
bor, which he had taken so much pains to
fortify and render impregnable. Thta report
■a af.erira.-ds fully confirmed.
It appears that a foroe of the enemy, daring
the night of Sandny, crossed the Chlcksbomi-
ny at Long Bridge, and drove in oar cavalry
pickets. Report says that they also crossed
at Forgo Bridge and Turner’s Ford, .till low
er down tae river. Onr pickete fell back to
Riddle’* Shop, to point thirteen miles , below
Riohmond, at the intersection of the Charles
City and Lung Bridge roads, waero a brisk
skirmish took place between a detachment of
Gen. Lee’s cavalry, under CoL Cary, and the
enemy. Thte.fight was progressing at two
o’clock, P. M.y though with what result w*
are not informed. A report was in elrenlstion
that the enemy had gained poseeieion of Mal
