THE BATTLE MONUMENT. The greater part, if not the whole, of the Army of the Potomac is now on fhe south side of the James river. Part of it left its lafe posi- tion, by way of the White House, on transports, and the remainder, moving in two columns, turned the rebel: right by passing tho Chicks- hominy at Jones’ bridge and the Long bridge, and marched acroas Charles City county to the James river. This manceavre has been per- formed with the greatest economy of resources avd time, Commenced on Sunday night, It was to all appearance concluded on Tucsday, occupying only two days, and was of course accomplished without a battle, Such rapidity of movement, and the perfection of generalabip that it implies, give the best possible augury of further succeas, the more especially as so high an authority assures us that the momen- tum of an army is to be found by multiplying the mass by the rapidity. With the magnificent Army: of the Potomac going abead:as Grant now carries it, failure is impossible. By thie bold operation General Grant has suddenly lifted the war out of the little ciecle around Richmond, and enlarged the theatre of operations, to our very evident advantage. All those bard and unpleasant places on the Chicka- hominy and the elaborate works construct- ed with so much labor on the north and east of Richmond are rendered valueless, and the strate- gy breaks ground in “fresh fields and pastures new.” Grant is now in very positive posses- sion of the only line of supply that was left to keep Lee’s army alive. Petersburg of course is his, and Fort Darling can offer no effectual re- sistance to this great fort taker. With the fall of Fort Darling the James river 1s open to our gunboats, and of course the time that Rich- mond can hold out is to be calculated in the time that it will take to open the river. It cannot stand twelve hours after the gunboats go up. If General Lee had now so large and effec- tive an army as he had last year, or could have such confidence in his army as he had then, he would at once become the assailant, and as- sume the offensive as an only, though despe- rate, chance of still holding Richmond. But he dare not try that chance, and he must retreat. Should he stay im Richmond his absolute destruction would be merely a ques- tion of time, and of a very short time too; but even retreat is now dangerous. He must re- treat towards Danville and North Carolina, and may find the way beset with the unforeseen con- tingencies of Hunter, Crook, Averill, Sheridan and Kautz, while General Grant, with his main force, may anticipate him at almost apy point on that line for a hundred miles. From the Southwest we have news of the defeat of an inconsiderable force under General Sturgis by a large rebel force that has been in process of organization for some weeks now, and that had for its original object the destruction of Gene- ral Sherman’s communications: Encouraged by their success with Sturgis, it is possible that Dedication of a Portion of the Grounds at West Point for the Site of a Memorial to the Dead of the Present War.

The announcement that General MoCielian would déhver the Oration on the ccoasion, induced a large numberof per- sons, ladies as well ag gentlemen, to visit the Military Academy to witness the ceremonial, and all the trains and boats wore crowded with the new comers. he Piers were thronged oe the arrival of the seven o’cleck morning express train as well as by the later way trains, many of the Indies taking the former from New York, Yonkers, Peekskill, &o , im their eagerness to be early on the grounds, and some actually standing in the’ cars all the way from the two last named places, because they were unable to obtain seats, eo crowded were the: trains, The bomts also carried up an immense throng, and one steamer was chartered to transport the regular troops from the harbor and forts to participate in the Proceedings of the day, & stand was erected on the site, at Trophy Point, and ‘was decorated with flags, in festoons and unfurled. Over the contre of the front of the stand was a national shield, ornamented with a trophy of bayonets, the ,points radi- ating from the top amd sides. On the platform of the stand a table was placed for the orator, and during the. morning some young ladies covered and orna- mented it with natural roses, im fall bloom, aod other fragaut flowers. In front of the stand several rows of sents were arranged for the ladies, but proved far too few for the occasion, many of them making seats for themselves on the grass. The gentlemen either stood or req¥med on the green, and among the civilians were dis- tributed a large sprinkling of officers of all ranks; oth in the army and navy, Tho proceedings wore somewhat delayed by the ex- pected arrival of Gen. Dix, who was, however, detained through unforeseen circumstances, and was therefore not present.

As soon as quict had been restored General McClellan in a clear, calm, yet perfectly audible voice, delivered the foliowing oration:— ORATION BY GENERAL M’CLELLAN. All pation# have days sacred to the remembrance of joy andof griof. They have thavkegiving for snccess, fasting and prayers in the hour of humiliation and deveat, triumph and peans to greet, the Iiving laurel crowned victor, They have obseqnies and culogies for the warrior slain on the eld of battle. Such is the duty we are to Perform today, Tha poetry, the histories, the orations erp pet: Cg resound with the clang of arms, hey dwell rather upen the rongh deeds of war than the gontlo acts of perce. They bave preserved to us the ames of heroes and the memory of their deeds even to this distopt day. Our own Old Testament teoms with the Barration of brave actions and heroic deaths of Jewish Patriots, while the Now ‘Testament of our meek ind suffering Saviour, often selects the soldier and his = woapovs to typify = and itiustrate religious heroism and duty. These stories of the actions of the dead have frequently survived in the lapse of ages the names of those whose fall was comme- Mmorated centuries ago. But, although we know not now the names of ali the brave men who fought and fell upon the plain of Marathon, im the Pass of Thermopyke, and on ‘the hilis of Palestine, we have not lost the memory of their examples. As long asthe warm blood courses ihe Yoins of man, as long as boman heart beate high and quick at the recital of br deeds and patriotic sacritices, 80 long will the lesson incite generous man to emu- Tate the beroiem of the past. Among the Greeks it was the cuntom that the father of the most valiant of the slain ®bould pronounce t! ulogies of the,dead. Sometimes it ai devolved upon their great statesmen and orators to perform tts mournful duty, Woild that a get through. Sherman will show them how to hold a railroad. Sturgis has been superseded by General A. J. Smith, of Red river fame. The victory over Sturgis amounts to very little, while General Grant’s movement has given the campaign a grand impulse. Rich- mond is practically taken; for it can no longer be held. Every forward movement made by Grant since he left the Rapidaa has rendered some strong position of Lee’s untenable. By a forward movement he flanked Lee out of the position on the Rapidan; again out of the posi- tion at Spottsylvania, and out of a third on the South Anna; now he flanks him out of Coal Harbor and out of Richmond; and this isa great and definite success that the Richmond editors will probably understand and be able to see.

Dr. R. ¥. Srevexs, of the Nineteenth ward, addressed the meeting in relation to the proposed postponement of the Chicago Convention ‘Iho leading mombers of the democratic party, be said, should remember that at the Jast election they lost every Stato in the Union, with one exception. The reson Of that was that the couseryative element of the couviry was not brought ont The party that supported Bell and Everett at the lest Presidential election would support MoCiollan now, and it behooved the democracy to see that no obstacles were thrown in the way {0 prevent the concentration of that strength on the side of the constitutional party who wore about to contest the re-election of Lincolo, AH the Critten- dou men and conservatives in the border States would come forward if McCieilan was nominated, aad give bim their heirty and undivided support, In conclusion, he oped that no postponement of the Con- vention woutd take pisce; that the time was quite short enough to form offective organizations; und to postpone the Copvention at such a time would be the worst policy that could be adopted.
