What must be the gullibility of a people which can swallow such a dose as that without winking! The next story will be that Jeff, is on his way to Mexico, with Lee making tracks in the same direction, for the purpose of offering his military services to Maximilian.

we could obtain towards a confirmation of the report. We think it likely there has been heavy skirmishing in that quarter, and possibly there may have been an advance on the part of the enemy. Such a thing has been looked for daily for the past week. We received authentic information that Sheridan, on Sunday, crossed from the White House to the south side of James river. The Yankee papers hint that he is going on a raid to meet and co- operate with Sherman. It is more probable that Grant will retain him to operate against the Southside and Danville railroads.
