Tho War News.


We pabIish to-day batch Of ncws which Is very
important If truo' But tho telegraph brings us
such mass OF worthless, sonsoless trash-such vari-
GUS contradictory and unsatisfactory reports Of bat
ties and strmishes, that we are almost at loss To
know when to place any reliance upon tho truth Of
amy despatch received A systematic plan Of lying
seems to have been adopted and carried out to per
tecton. It is only by placing tho different reports
together and striking balance between them that
we can hope to arrive at anything like m opproxima
ton to tho truth
Woaro inclined to- tho belief, however, as tho tun
dorstandngwo can arrive at respecting these conflict
ing statements, that aspondid victory has been obtain
eddy our troops in Missouri, while aportion oftho left
wing Of our ARMY in Virginia has suffered defeat at
tho hands Of greatly superior numbers We trust
this may prove to be mistake, hut it does not look
10 now. There is no doubt that Gen Garnett, the
brave and accomplished officer in command, had
beenaSillcd, and his romans carried to Richmond
1t is fair to presume that his command defeated
but we have no question that further accounts viii
show it to have boon dono by overwhelming mum
bcrs Tho eowardly wretchos are not going to meet
our men with equal numbers and in fail combat
We ask no better forms Of thom than two Of then
Iiou 10 one Ol ours III any huu VI ~ etihlu up ulJ
light ight-but thoy arc not wiling to that-thcy re
quire greater dsproportion Of heads before the!
will give, OF even wait to receive blow.
The defeat Of detachmont-supposing this nws L
bo true-is not to be regarded as any manner ndcf
two of the result of the conflict between the nal
bodies of tho respective armies. There are not mcl
enough in the whole North to whip tho army now j
Virginia, and subduo the State That thing can't b
done while thcre ia q living man left South Of Tia
Potomac
The news from Missouri, bears every appearance

by our Now Orleans and Mobile exchanges. Wo weI
