The "times" On The Situation In Virginia

[Fi-om the London Times, June 9 J ... A general like Grant, il unsparingly eupported by the governrnent raust succut'd ia making numbere teil. On tho ur.n8 which he bas hitherto accepted ho can probably get to Riobinond, and pofsibly takt; the city, too. But, be8des tho difficülly oí maintaining a war so cr.ndiiüted, there is the still more formidable difficulty of onding an object worlh the eest. Richmond is not the heaYt of the confederacy. The capture of the town would not infütit a mortal wound on the South. ■ As a capital, it has only been extemporized ior the early purposes of the war, and tbere are inany ho Ihink that the solection was injndieiou. The last letter of our correspondent in the South sliowed that the confederates were quiully consideiing the expedienoy of transferring the .government buinesii fi-om Richmond to another town, so that the utmost conceivable suceess on tbe part of the federáis might bring them little more than empty glory. Á trinmphal entry of the federáis intothe " rebel capital " would liispïrit the North and confirm tha war party in tüeir aöoendeccy, but it rnight do little toward the restoration of the Union, or the subjection ol the South. There lies the grea't difficulty in tho way of the North. Il is hard oiiough, as the federáis have lound, to get to Richmond ; but it vvill be still harder to discover, whon they get there, what thoy have gained by the enterprise which has coist them such enirmous sncrlfices.
