THE WAR.

The bloody episode of the fight of Traktr seems
kelly TO have little effect on the course OF events IN
the CTmes. The Russians have retired up their mar
row OF d wefored passes TO the steep plateau, whore
according to General Simpsons latest report they are
once more prepared for Offeuslve movement Atten-
ton is therefore, again turned TO the siege OF SeVs
tcpoI. Little on viii b Judgment may De Iouaded
can be learned either from the dispatches OF the
generals or from the correspondence of letter
writer's before the city To our previous KNOWLEDGE
that the besiegrt ssp bad approached very near to
the Rus ian defenses now learn that the foremost
Uarallel which has been begun at the two ends, was
completed and united in the middle, on the 18th OF
August. Since then fortnight has passed without
muC incident Gen. Simpson mentions small sortle
in which the Russians succeeded in destroying some
gallons For the restibe daily life of the camp its
hardsbps and amusements the death or leave OF lnd
vidual officers, fill both public and private letters
On The great preparations of the last ten weeks the
homes of the besegers fixed, and the fire that will
open when the time comes will be unexampled In the
history OF warfare.
The canncnade of October last says The Times,)
was trhing 10 that Of April; April was surpassed
by the two days which preceded the capture OF the
Mameon; but al will SINK into ins'gnihcence WITH
the iron tempest which will shortly be poured On the
hesieatd city. The weight aud Iapge of the guns
the lumber and size of the mortars, the new posi-
tons of the batteries won by the seady progress
thst has marked the Summer will try the endurance
of the Russians to the utmost. The great scale on
which such bOmbardment is carried on aud the
rrtparations necessary for its eIecu ion rem
der the delays which precede it matter OF
little surprise. In April the allies threw
AGAINST Sevasto, OIL in nine days $50 600 shot and SHE'LL
the cost of the Bri ish ammunition alone was t3OOOOO
sterhr Yet April lie now looked back upon as time
when we und1 rvalued the enemy and did not know
what Sevastopol was Even on ordinary days me
Russians often throw 1000 shot in the "a hours and
COO shells into only portion Of the British position
Whatever the resources of the garrison and the strength
of the works at which they labor night andaay, there
can be no doubt that the approaching struggle VII de-
termine the fate of Sevastopo for the Winter
at least. No one pretend TO toretel
the issue all that is spoken Of with certainty Is, ths'
the line OF battle ships in the harbor VIII be destroyed
or least driven from their position, so as 10 DE mace
poworess agols the assaulting troops. Whether the
tesegers shall take the alaEof-whether they csn
keep it-whehor il will lead TO the immediate capture
of the town, or only TO uenor success are all matters
Of doubt Should victory not favor the besiegers
arms they will probably be forced to wait IN inactivity
till another Spring, when change OF tactics may assure
success. The besegng Generals have set all on the
hazard Of doubtful struggle At single point ana we
uust wait the result. The Russians, meantime arc
at, ely engaged in bridging the harbor to remove
ter defence to the north side, should the sou'h DC
t4keT.
The evils of q divided command are more and more
felt The line from Baidar to lnkermann, a distance
OF twelve mles is occupied by French, Sa-dolans,
ard Turks, with part Of the English cavary-ea;n
nationality Under lis own commander, and totally IN
dept nden Of all the oihors Report speaks vaguely OF
a plan to unite the commands of all the troops on The
Chernay u one hauc.
As SIX weeks, at most two months, are the utmost
limit that can be assured for acve military operations,
attention is turned 70 the means OF supplying the
armies during tbs coming Winter. Mr. Beatty, clvll
e; pueCr has received orders TO construct two new
lines of rai'way-one from the Col de Balakava to
Kan asb 70 be worked by horsepower and the other
from Kadkoi 10 the Noronzof Road near the SAr
drisn position over Cfergoun to be worked 10y loco
motive The labor of erecting these Dads VIII De sup
plied by the French and Sarcinians. MI Beatty
that the original railway will last during the
Winter aud 200 Of the army works corps are now
ergseed In repsirDg it. Stores and sheds are being
erected as rspdly possible and other preparations
or inter are gong on with energy.
