The War News this week are meagre. We

gagement at Pensacola and Fort Plckens, the
news all coming through rebel sources.

declared that great and favorable news would
be heard within ten days. The country is all
impatience to know what il is. 1t is thought
that decisive forward movement will be made
within a week ..-.......
The news from Beaufort or Port Royal con-

made no particular advance though they have
taken more af the adjoining islands and threat

they are Distressing whether to surrender the city
TO the Federal forces or to blow it up and burn
it. The citizens are in favor of surrendering

But he made the best shot and reached what
seemed to be The height OF his ambition at Al

versation turned upon his tayorie sport, when
Mr.. Mayhem informed him that the grounds
near the forks of the Kalamazoo river, some dis
lance from the town, had been and still were
the favorite resort of those noble denizens Of
the forest. Accordingly an arrangement was
made he loaded each barrel of his gun with
five buckshot, and early the next morning, in
company with Mr.. Mayhem, started for the
scene of action The ground near the river is
covered with small trees and a growth of un-
derbrush This the spot selected by the
General, and h soon saw tracks of deer in the
snow He worked his way cautiously towards
the river, and when he came in sight, saw a
fine buck about 10 rods distant, making his way
to the stream. Without waiting for him to stop,
he drew up his gun and dischr ged both barrels
which took effect just behind his fore shoulder,
one shot breaking his back bcne. The Buck
made one bound and fell. Mr.. Mayhem, on
hearing the report Of the Generals gun, ran up
and assisted in cutting the deer's throat.
