The American news of the week is that General Grant
has re- peated the mancouvre by which he turned General Lee's position at Spobsylvania Court House, by another flank movement, on the 26th May, which took him to the Pamunkey River, which he crossed at Hanover Town, so that his left, advanced as far as Cold Harbour, is not now seven miles from Richmond. General Lee, who had of course the inner and shorter curve for his line of retreat, was, however, as vigilant as his antagonist, and again intervened between him and Richmond, occupying both sides of the Chicka- hominy. Since this change there has been news of unimportant reconnaissances Up to the 4th June, but as yet no general engage- ment. In Georgia Sherman was pushing all before him, and after occupying Dallas and Alatoana Pass, W.13 threatening Marietta and Atlanta. It was not known whether General John- stone intended to make a stand for the latter place. He had not yet given Sherman a chance of battle.
