THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL '7, 1862.

Island No. 10 on the Mississippi still holds out.
Beaufort, on the coast of North Carolina, has fol-
lowed Newbern in surrendering to the active
General BURNSIDE, Fort Macon having first blown
up. A very severe fight at Winchester—a town on
the railroad in Virginia from Harper's Ferry—has
resulted in the defeat of Confederates, and their
-being driven further south to Strasbourg. The
latter, it seems, had attempted to re-enter Winches-
ter, supposing the Federals had quitted it ; they
must therefore be in some force yet on the western
flaulf of the Virginian defence. New Orleans,
according to rumour, has been attacked, but even
rumour is silent in respect to the result. They seem,
however, to know at Chicago, some 800 miles north
on the shores of Lake Michigan, what is doing in
the south on the Gulf of Mexico, since a despatch
from that great corn depot tells us that the Confede-
rates are building 13 gunboats at New Orleans.

Such is the sum of the naval and military news
from the States by the Africa ; and it cannot be
said to point one way or the other. Of M'CLELLAN
we hear nothing, probably because he is working
dowri the Potomac, either to Acquia Creek, from
which the railroad runs to Richmond, or to Fort
Monroe, thence to commence the movement upwards
between the James and York Rivers to Richmond,
'which Mr. ItUSSELL thinks the most probable.
In one of these two directions, or in both, our
readers ought ere long to see some advance
towards -what ought to be the first move of the
North to capture the capital of Virginia. It
appears, rather, as if the South were regaining
military energy after its late reverses, since both
in Virginia and on the Mississippi they are fight-
ing with vigour, though the North seems to be
more than a match for them in regard both to num-

bers and military equipment.
But the North itself is beginning to perceive that
its hardest task is yet before it. All the more dis-
tinguished GeneraIs—BEAUREGARD, LEE, JOHN•
STON—are still in reserve, and have never fought
yet but to win. M'CLELLAN, BANNS, GRANT, and
13uB,NsiDE, have not yet met these higher class men;
and it remains, therefore, to be seen whether the
Generals who could fight to win, or retire when the
.
enemy could not follow, may not, when the outer
irele of defence is abandoned, be more than a match
for their pursuers. Retreating through a country
in which the few inhabitants are hostile to the pur-
s'aQta, and in which the support of the invaders
3t be by a costiv and difficult commissariat, has
tiwe nut of mind the most effective means of
defenc,. It has baffled all conquerors from the
days of JuLua. r,
,-.XS Alt to those of NAPOLEON.
Before the sum,,r is over, we shall probably see
