io t-ippose that ihe rich erofi* nf tbe Shenandoah
Valley, protected by ihe Co^ederate force imd r
(i«ni-rsl Karl* would find thtir way down fiom the
North. Still, the Weldon line ie * most important
', for it connects Richuiund and tMvtabwtg *»i'h
Wilmington and CharU-s-ou. and thu- allows Oeneral
I.ee to draw munition* from those ports for tin-. n ...
of his ixrr.iy. At present this resource is not indeed
lo.i, lor tlio Weldon line is sllll open to the station
at Stony Creek, aboot 'JI) miles south' of Petei«buig,
snd from tha* point sup plies are brought up lo the
* wn under strong escorts of Confederate cavalry.
i-reilhcless, the inconvenience must b^ considerable,
d. though the Northern people teem to attach tin-
gularly little importance to Grant's position, there are
'not wanting inuications of a difT«ren*a of opinion on
ihe ,isrt of Oeneral Lee. Nol a word waa said at
t'hie i. u ur New York about the occupation of lbe
'Yi-Muii line as constituting or prognostieating a
Federal success, and (iraiu's naiio was left almott
ithout mention iu elrsiioneerlng tpeeches. But t*s
hss twice attacked the Federals wilh his usual vigor,
though less than his usual success, and it teems in
lbe anticipated that he will uke the initiative once
mon-. In this case Grant's strati. >• would eertainly
'have beenin some degree iuccessful,b<it ihere are cir.
cumttanee'a which reouire attention before the poti.
'nous nf the two armiss can be properly appreciated.
Grant's army is stronglv intrenched on the Weldon
line. No sooner had Ihe Federals seised the position
bar., a* desoribed by an observer on the spot, they
•■ wm Wei1 like '.-avers" to protect themtelvet sgsinst
ialtsck. and the) hare since had a months time to
strengthen thete defences. If, then, General Lee become* lhe assailant, b* may ruii the risk of fighting
under those ditsdvanla jea which have so often proved '
ifatal in the campaign* of this war. " Whoever at-
t.i.-ki," said Sherman, at Atlanta, " is beaten." But
lit is not absolutely necettary thai Lee should attack
in thit fashion, (hunt in wheeling round Petersburg hss described sbout a third ofa circle's circum*
frrence, from a point in the north.eatt to a point due
south. Hut ihe North-eastern point Is en* of greet
importance to him, for il i* on the James River, by
which supplies reach hia easily, and acioss whioh by
means of pontoons he can al any lime throw his whole
army and menace itichmond instead of Petersburg.
It was at this point that the right of his army waa
stationed, a considerable force being also encamped
ion the northern side of the river, hut his left, under
these circumttanoes, did nit reach within five or six
