War News.

An quiet at our camp at Cairo, but
an attack is expected soon, as there is
said to be about 10000 Confederate
troops at Memphis. D.
We may expect a collision socu
from the appearance of things in Ma
ryland and Virginia. The best we
can gather is that we have about 80,
900 troops at Washington and on thc
roads to Baltimore, and that the Con
federate army is about 1000 at Har
per's Ferry, 10000 at Richmond, and
5000 at Alexandria and Lynchburg
There is evidently a fight ahead.
