Gen. Grant's Strategy.—The Army and Navy Journal alludes to Gen. Grant's passage of the James river, in the following terms: The execution of the new movement was no less brilliant than successful. Four times now, in the brief Virginia campaign, has a whole army been coolly and deliberately marched across the right flank of an enemy strong and vigilant. It on its first two exhibitions, the manoeuvre partook of the character of a pursuit, from the timely interposition of the enemy's presence in front of our advance, on the last two, at least, its execution has been so swift and energetic as to claim the merits of a surprise. That the column on the march has not been attacked in either of these two cases is not a little noteworthy. Its wide detour, its remarkable celerity, and the perfect lubricity, as of mechanism, in all parts and details of its movement, will furnish some explanation of its success. And perhaps the obvious inferiority in condition and strength of the enemy in open field, may account for his sluggishness to attack and thwart us. In either event the bold and skillful generalship of Grant has been made thoroughly manifest.

The second move in front of Richmond will soon be undertaken by the national army, strong as ever in numbers, and as admirable in spirits. Six veteran corps threaten the long harassed capital from a new and comparatively untried quarter. With faith in the cause and the army, let us await the unfolding of events.
