War News.

The Washington Star of the 9th states that Gen.
Mcclellan and his staff had arrived at Rectertown,
near Front Royal Gap on the Manassas Railroad, and
made that his headquarters for the time being The
impression prevailed that he would dispute the pos
session of the valley with Gen Lee, through the Blue
Ridge Gap. Front Royal is about fifty miles south
of the Potomac.
The main body of Gen. Lees forces were west of
the Blue Ridge, in the Shenandoah valley.
A heavy sklrrnish took place on the 10th, west Of
Culpepper Court House, in which the enemy were
driven back two miles. Our loss was said to be
small. Gen. McLaws' division is this side of the
Blue Ridge, in the neighborhood Of Culpepper, and
the skirmsh probably took place between his divis
ion and a portion of the enemy under Sickes or
Siegel
The Baltimore American of late date says:
Gen. Roscncrans left Louisville on the lst inst, to
take the field That morning Gen. Sil's Division
commenced passing Bowling Green on the road to
Nashville, and the other division of the department
of the Cumberland probably soon followed. Nash
Vile NAV therefore be considered safe from the pred
atorv force which has hitherto held it virtually in
state of seige. Gen. Rosencrans advance will prob
ABLY be DISTRACTED by the demolition OF portions OF
the railway, but not the enemy. 1t is undoubtedly
Gen. Rosencrans' plans to make Nashville his base,
whence to operate on the lines of railroad against
Chattanooga on the southeast and Knoxville and
East Tennessee on the East.
In regard to the situation in Virginia, the Wash
ington Chronicle OF Wednesday, says:
Indications convince US that a battle is imminent
The secret foes Of the Republic here and at Balt-
more have lately become nervous as to the issue,
which is probably good harbinger ofvictory. They
may rest assured that sufficient army is held in
reserve not alone to defend the Capital but to pro.
tect Maryland and Pennsylvania from another nva-
sion. As we press back their 'front.' we take care
to secure our rear.

The March of Death.

The history of our sister town Wilmington for
the last few months, is indeed a melancholy one
Death has made fearful inroads among its enter
prising citizens. The editors of the Journal al
luding to the march Of death, remark:
"Sometimes whole families appear to have been
swept away. Two doors west Of our office stands
the handsome brick dwelling of B. Baxter, Esq
Within two weeks the whole white family, consist
ips of himself and his niece, Mrs. Ann Powers
were called away, and that home was closed and
desolate. Just round the corner, on second street
below Princess, within fifty yards Of where We now
sit is the residence of DR.. McRec That is, indeed
house Of mourning Our venerable and respect
ed cllowciszen the Doctor, has lost the venerated
PARTNER of his life. G. j. McRee, Esq, has lost a
revered mother, beloved wife, daughter just
blooming into glorious womanhood, and son, a
noble, intelligent and manly youth. Surely, this is
enough for one house. and yet this and the case we
have cited before are not solitary instances"
