NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

The very latest at that hour IN the city was Gls-
match from Judge White of this city, who had re-
,urped to Washington from our Army, at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. He states that our men are
in good spirits, and firm as veterans; they hold
Centrevile and the vicinity with part OF the old bat
tle.fed of Bull Run" Our correspondence, very full
and interesting, is up to II o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The tone Of feeling in Washington was full OF
confidence; our army in the field was being rapidly
and powerfully strengthened, and ample prepar-
atoms were made for the care and rellet OF The
wounded. The highly important letters issued
yesterday morning in an extra TRIBUNE, are printed
with others equally important, on the second page
of this mornings edition. On our first page we
give dispatches and correspondence received last
night bv our special agents and messengers. These
adyces speak confidently of the safety OF Gen.
Bsnkss command, and represent the Rebels as being
in an extremely critical position. 1t seemed to be
generally believed at Washington that the Union
lines were quietly fanking and closing around
the Rebel army, and that their escape, at
least without fearful loss woud be next TO
impossible. Should this idea Of the situation prove
correct there will be bloody work soon; Tor the
Rebels are far away from their suppes-they can
not have surplus of provisions-and should their
communication with Western Virginia be inter-
rupted, starvation woud literally stare them in the
face. As TO their making rush Into Maryland, we
are over and over assured that such an attempt
would be frustrated. Altogether, the situation
seems to promise an early and decisive victory,
should no unforeseen disaster mar the plans and
prospects of the moment.
A great war meeting was held in City Hall
Square Brooklyn, last evening, which was ad-
dressed by the Hon. Henry b. Stanton, who pointed
out the perilous condition Of the country and tho
means necessary TO rescue it from It's peris These
were, BY understanding that we Were engaged IN
life and death contest; that ii there were any break
in the Union it would 90 all 10 pieces; that the peo-
pie must be willing to make all sacrifices OF men,
money, and restrictions upon their rights-and then
demand of the Administration that 1t use all these
resources promptly and wisely TO put down the re-
belbon by sending out some General who woulc
take Richmond al an early day; by substituting COM
petency for ncompeteucy in our Generals, and by
striking straight at Slavery. There was speaking
from three stands, but heavy shower coming on at
an early hour, the meeting adjourned TO
Wednesday evening. A report will be found else
where.
