front of Petersburg. Save the occasional discharge of a musket, and, at long intervals, the boom of a cannon, everything continued quiet yesterday. On our right, where, if anywhere, a fight has been considered imminent for several days past, the enemy show no present disposition to make any movement, and the consequence is, that our brave boys in the trenches have nothing to do but keep a sharp lookout and hold themselves ready for action at a moment's warning. There is no doubt but that Grant is receiving reinforcements, though in what numbers it is impossible to say. Parties from the enemy's rear report the arrival of large bodies of recruits within the past eight or ten days, while steamers crowded with troops are continually arriving at City Point.

t after conferring with our generals at headquarters, if there be any other remedy it shall be applied. I love my friends and I forgive my enemies. I have been asked to send reinforcements from Virginia to Georgia. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just as great as it is in Georgia. Then I have been asked why the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not sent here? It was because an army of the enemy had penetrated the Valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and General Early was sent to drive them back. This he not only successfully did, but, crossing the Potomac, came well nigh capturing Washington itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of his army to protect it. This the enemy denominated a raid. If so, Sherman's march into Georgia is a raid. What would prevent them now, if Early was withdrawn, penetrating down the Valley and putting a complete cordon of men around Richmond? I counselled with that great and grave soldier, General Lee, upon all these points.
