The Richmond pepers of Monday aud Puceday Inet contatn full aceounta of General Grant's revent Movements om the James River and the Waldon Railroad. The Examtnan estimates the force qe- feting on the James River af thirty thousand men. Tr etates that it was not intemdad to hold the thin Confederate lines ageinst this force, and that the defenders therefore retreated to the chief fortifica- tions. Fort Marrison, i@ states, was capture! owing to the neglect ef the garrison of three hundred to hold it, as waa expected of theta, The next attack, the Examrvem says, was made on a «mall redan, without name, between Fort Gi- mer aud Batiory Harrison, This stiack was easily the bits in two battles, Kor ts of ¥ ryinia before Goversl erfully repulsed. Perhaps it waa not made with persistent intention. The grand sesault wae directed tos more | jt fi at.to Fort Gilmer—close on Chaffin's Form was deliverel with cnergy, war met with firmnons, and the reatilt wav @ bloody re- pulse of the enemy.

This lee put e vencluon to the ective operations of the cuemy, with the ex- esytion of two attempts to turn our works on the Ruet by columna of cavalry. Perhaps the Yankees bai Leen persuaded that the guns on ihe fortifica- iene ware only Quaker, If go, they were aliud- antly flashed with proof of their mistake on | Friday, by the dhelis weich fell in bis truck whcr- ever he moved.
