A" the correspondent of the Savannah speculates as follows upon tlte object - of the Yankees in digging the eanal acrt Dutch Gap, and sayt a timely word in favor of tho right use of die spad: The object of this canal is not ful ly nnderatood. It Is believed to be this: First, to avoid the battery at Ilowlett'e bouse and the sulnnarine obstraetions in tlie river at Trent' reach : second, to bring the Federal iron cladj th rough the canal atni se cure a position, after driving away, oar little fleet from which they can silence the battery it Signal -Hill ; then, having seenred Signal Hill, the enemy hope to be able to carry the works at Cha&n'e Bluff, which are in easy range of and commanded by the greater elevation of Signal 11 ill ; fourth, bar mg carried Uhaan s liluff, their next move would be against Drewry's Bluff, distant one mile; fifth, Drewry's Bluff in their posses sion, the way would be open, they thtnk, to Richmond. Such is be lieved to be the theory upon which they are tetlng. Their industry and enterprise are alike creditable to themselves and worthy of oar imitation. We being the weaker party in numbers, should be the first to avail ourselves of d of fensive works and mechanical and scientific appliances ; but instead o this being the case, the enemy, notf ithsUnding be largely outnumber ed ns, was the only party who em ployed the spade during the Drat three years of the war.
