I fared 4o a P.mi tba ir ky aarrtl' mm I GRANT'S ADVANCE "Little Phil's" First Raid. Cavalry COM BAT OX THE WAY TO RICHMOND IConolusion.l Tbo wituation of Uio optxjsin armies was assuming tho nature or a deaulrjck. Gen. Grant, litivitiz loarned of the failure to roue I Riclmionrl from the south, ordered a corps of Jiutlei''s army to join tho maiu body in front of Jee. At the same time be ordered a change of base of supplies from Fredericks burg to VV hite House on the Fa munkey, about twenty utiles east of Rich mond and about the same distance southeast of the Union line on the Totopotouioy.

The water approaches to White House are througli the Chesapeake bay and York river to the Pamunkey. Smith's column of re enforceiiients, numbering 18,000 men, em barked at City Point and Bermuda Hundred ou the yyth, and. sailing; down the James. then up the York and Pamunkey, reached White House on the 30th and at once began the march up the south bank of the Jrai nun key toward ilanovertowu, where the general headquarters were at this time. Ou the a 1st, while on the march.

Smith received a dispatch from Gen. Grant to the effect that the enemy seemed to be moving out on the Me chanicsville road from Richmond to get between bim (Smith) and the Army of the Po tomac, and also bearing Instructions to march close along the ramunkey. The union of Smith's corps with tho army was now ah important consideration, and siich a union, as well as the control of White House as a base, depended upon the control of the cross roads at Old Cold Harbor, ten miles east of Richmond and half way from that city to the Pamunkey river. All the roads from the Pamunkey, including that from the White House and Hanover town, connect at Cold Harl)or with Richmond by roads across the Chiukuhominy at MocbanicsviLIo and over several bridges lower down the stream. All these roads wero necessary to Leo to pro tect Kichmond, ana he held them on the inside on the 81st of May.

The point of inter section of these roads was necessary to the Union army in order to unite and get Into position in front of Xjee. On the olst Sheri dan's cavalry went out in force down the Pamunkey and far out on the Union loft, toward the Chickahominy. Fitzbugb Lee's cavalry were found in force at Cold Harbor, but the road down the Pamunkey DISMOUNTED CAVALRY FIQHTI.VO. toward White House was clear and Smith's column was advancing. The force at Cold Harbor appeared to be bent on a move ment menacing the Union array, such as Sheridan had been warned to prevent, name ly, an advance along the White House road to cut off bin ith.

lorbert's division attacked the cavalry which held the front, and press ing it back some distance beyond Cold Har bor came upon the Confederate infantry trenches across the jUechamcsviiie and Rich mond road. The nearest Union infantry in position at this time was Warren's Fifth corps, which lay north and south about three miles above Cold Harbor, and across another Richmond road running from the Pamunkey to Richmond, parallel with the Jdechauics ville road. In front of Warren was Ewell't corps, intrenched. COLD HARBOR CARRIED. On meeting the infantry beyond Cold Har bor Sheridan sent word to headquarters und also directed Torbert to withdraw bis line behind Cold Harbor, but before the order could be carried out word came to Sheridan to hold Cold Hurler at all hazards, and at the same time the Sixth corps, uuder Wright, was ordered from its position on the Union flank above Hanover town to Cold Harbor.

The distance to be marched by Wright was over fifteen miles, but the ground was covered and the troops reached the Held just in time to complete the work begun by Sheri l. Although it was not known at Union headquarters at this time, Lougstreet's corps was now strung along between Cold Harbor and Richmond, with one division, Kershaw's, directly in front of tlio key point. Sheridan, however, placed bis men (dismounted) in trenches, scut out skirmishers and passed the night of tho 31st waiting the arrival of the Sixth corps. The center was occupied by Merrftt bri gade, armed with Spencer and Sliurps car bines, and the order was to bold tho ground at any cost. A long skirmish was opened about da3'ligbt on June and the cavalry held their position, anxious only about the waste of ammunition.

About clock the Confederates advanced to the charge with i two infantry brigades. Tbo carbines of Mer ritt and the artillery repulsed the advance. A second charge was made, and that wns re pulsed also, and before the attack could bo renewed in force the Sixth corps was on the ground. In a short time this corps hud got ten uito position, covering tbo roads through Cold Harbor, towards White House, and to Dispatch station on the Chickahominy, where tho Richmond and York River ruilroad nes. Smith bad also been ordered to move his Kighteeuth corps over from the Pamunkey river road to the left and join tho Sixth corps.

This was done during tho day, and the united army was now on one long line from the Chickahominy, cast of Richmond, around to tho Central railroad on the north. The road to White Houxo landing was also se cured, und tho movement of the corps on the right of the line was begun with a view to concentrate around Cold Harbor. In this vicinity the four corps now constituting tho Army of the Potomac (Burnside's corps hav ing been incorporated with Monde's command) took position in line of battle. Uen. Lee now desired Beauregard to move bis whole foree from the south side of tho ames and unite it with his and become com mander of the right wing.

But Beauregard, believing that it would be the policy of toe Union commander to make a strong movement ii xu tho south side of James river, as JieCleJInn hud attempted to do in the sum mer of lmW, decided to remain In tho lines confronting Butler, although he sent the larger jMtrtof his soldiers from the lines at Petersburg, Bermuda Hundred and Drowry's Blu If to re enforce the army with Ijoo for the immediate defense of Richmond. The Union army was once more in front of Richmond, with Leo between ft and tbo gates of the Confederate capital. Grant's advance had not been stubbornly resisted since leaving Spottsylvania, because he had offered no direct RICHMOND DrVKKSkS, attack. The tactics adopted by Lee in the campaign between Spottsyivania and Cold Hjurbor are stated by Gen. Long iu bis 0 Forts I I' I urN, TFTF! DAILY TIMBB AND biography of Lee: "The disparity between the two armies had prevented Lee li oni taking, advuutage of Grant's flank march from Spottsyivania to attack him under tho advantageous circumstances which such a movement presents, and forced bun to the alternative of seeking to check Ills advance at strong defensive points.

The movement of Grant to the Pa xnuukey (from North Anna) was met in the same manner as before, by au intercepting march to the line of tho 1 otopotomoy. Lee's purpose in this movement was the following: If he had marched so as to detain Grant on the Pamunkey, the latter would have held command of the Jaines and York rivers, and would have been at liberty to re enforce Butler, who was operating on the James. By this means Butler might have been strengthened sufficiently to crush the Confederate force which was operating against bim, and thus have become at liberty to co operate with Grant against Lee, or to capture Richmond before it could be relieved. Oa the other hand, if Grant could be detained on the line of the Totopotomy, be would be unable to send detachments to Butler unobserved, and Lee, by his closer vicinity to Richmond, would be better able to obtain the co operation of the troops employed in tho defense of that place. Proceeding ou his march from tho Pamunkey, Grant found his advance upon Richmond again arrested by Lee, who uwaited him, as above said, on the Totopotomy.

Grant did not at his point attempt to force his opponent from his path, but moved slowly by his left flank toward the Chickahominy, while Lee, by a similar movement to his right, kept pace with him and constantly confronted him at every stage. Both armies carefully protected themselves with breastworks until a flank rested upon tho Chickahominy. "Apparently with the intention of blotting out the memory of tho defeat of the Federal arms on the former occasion (Gaines' Mill, June 27, IS'? Gen. Grant massed the flower of his army for' battle. A portion of the Confederate Hue occupied the edire of a swamp of several hundred yards in length ana ureaatu, mcioseu uy a low, semicircular ridge covered with brushwood." Tho battle of Cold Harbor, which followed upon this ground, was as bloody for tho Union side as any of the campaign.

Oue of the chief purposes of Grant's movements hud been accomplished, for he had formed a junction with Butler and could now support him in the positions he held ou James river. There was uo expectation at this time of taking Richmond by direct attack, and the Union general i chief was reaching out toward James river for a new base. On the 80th of May ho hod requested the secretary of war to send all the pontoon boats Lee iu tho retriou so favorable to him while tho Union army was moving across the peninsula would have been dillicult to meet unci wai off. It was doubtless owing to this state of things that Gen. Grunt made elaborate preparations to attack Lee in front of Richmond with no other hone than to seriounlv cripple the Confederate army.

Condensation by Cold. In writing of winter experiences in the Hud son Bay country, Mr. Balhuityne describes the effect of bringing cold iron into a warm room, and explains the philosophy of the change produced. The same explanation can be given of the moisture forming on tbe out side of a vessel in which ice is kept in a warm room, or of frost on the window pane in winter. It was curious to observe the change that took place in tho appearance of our guns after we eutereu tho warm room.

The barrels. and every bit of metal upon them. Instantly became wmto, like ground glass. This phi nomeuon was caused by tho condensation and freezing of the moist atmosphere of the room upon the cold iron. Any piece of metal when brought suddenly out of such intense cold into a warm room will in this wav become covered with a pure white coating of hoar frost.

It does not remain long in this state, how ever, as the warmth of tbe room soon heats the metal and melts the ice. Thus, in about ten minutes, our guns assumed three differ ent appearances; when we entered tbe house, they were clear, polished and dry; in five minutes they were white as snow, and in five more dripping wet.

Warner Co. proprietors oi the renowned Kidney and Liver Care, better known as "Warner Safe Cure," to flood the country, and eape ninllv the toat offices, with medical pam phlets.

The writer haB taken tbe liberty to examine oue of these marvellous little and finds food for criticism, but he fore indulging in it, will pive onr rpaders some quotations therefrom, from the highest medical authorities, which we believe worthy of consideration. Undethe head of "No Distinctive Symptoms Apparent, we find: First More adults are carried off this country by chronic kidney disease than by any other malady except consumption, Thomuson. Second Deaths from such diseases are increasing at the rate of 260 per cent, decade. Ed wards.

Thompson is authority for saying that ore adults are cairied off in this country by kidney disease than any other malady except consumption.

Under Warner "Safe Cure" article ou Consumption, we find a Daras raoh claiming to be a quota tion from a publication issued by Brompton Hospital tor Consumptives, ijonaon, iMiir land. which states that 52 per cent, of the oatients of that institution have un suspected kidney disorder. Dr. Herman Brehmer, an eminent German authority also nays that Consumption is always due to deficient nutrition of the lungs, because of bad blood. Medical science can no longer dispute the fact that the kidneys are the principal blood purifying organs of the whole human system, and if they are diseased and thus fail to expel he uric acid poison or the waste matter of the blood, as the blood passes through these two great organs, the safe Cure claim is correct, ana tne tea somng of its proprietor holds good.

There is no doubt but lhat in two many instances the medical fraternity doctor for symptoms, instead of striking at tbe root of tbe disease, and that nnder this form oi treatment many patients die. We cannot, however, see tbe necessity of continually flooding the country with these advertising medical books, when their story once well told is enough for the time being. People as a rule, nowadays, go to their newspaper for information, and we believe snch truths as we have instanced could be proclaimed therein more advantageously to the public and much more beneficially to the proprietors.
