The War News.
The news received yesterday from the seat
Of var 10 anything but satisfactery. We
have certainly gained no ground for the past
| week. and We very mnch fear We have lost ms.
tsrially. The rebels are fighting with desper-
alton. aid they fight to win. Gen. Pope is
falling bsck on the defencss surrounding
Washington. and We have no sure thing that
he will be able to hold these. Should the
rebels throw an army across the river into
Maryland. and march upon Washington. it u
probable they may succeed In destroying that
city. Our government has never appeared to
give this insurrsction sofheient importance
The fact is. every man in the the South capa-
able of bearing arms has been impressed into
the service, and jeff Davis has today ~ large
an army, and one as we'll equipped - the
United States. Another tower Of strength in
their favor Is the fast that they are fighting in
their own country, among their friends, and
instead OF the rebel hosts diminishing in mum.
bers. every mile gained in advance swells their
armies. The battle of Bulls Run was fought
nearly fourteen months since, and to day We
find our forces rstreating across that memor-
able field. hotly pursued by host Of traitor
devils flushed with victory. and eager to make
the promises of their generals good-that ere
many days they should revel in the halls Of
the Capitol At Washington.
Cincinnati, the Queen City Of the West. is
In imminent danger of destruction or capture.
A larg, army is rapidly approaching, and
there are no tr ops to stay lts progress. Once
across the Oaio river, and there is no telling
where the ravaging host would be stayed.
The sky Of the Union is overcast with dark.
threatening clouds Our heart sinks With fear
when We come to consider the great danger
surrounding our armies and the Government
Two months since We should have ecoffed at
the suggestion that the mighty hosts of Nc
G sllan. Pope. Banks. sigel and others would
be forced to fall back { n the Notifications of
Washington for safety. We fear they have
cone so already. We know not what the next
twelve hours may bring forth.

despatch says: Notwithstand the absence
OF any cause for serious apprchensions OF
foreign war, it is the desire of the Gov

this connection, General Mcclellan strong
~ urges the organization and practical
preparation of artillery corps in all the
seaport and lake towns, with view to
have in readiness for any emergency, an
effective body of well-drilled artilIerists
for tue defence of our seaports and coasts.
1t is designed that these corps shall be
provided by the Government with guns and
equipments, and are to be paid by the
United States whenever called into actual
service.

been whispered that the Secretary of the

mac continue to exhaust large quantities
of powder without affecting anything.
The Reliance was fired at thirty-cight
times on Monday night, while running
down the river from Cockpit Point and

touched. The batteries at Shipping Point
add Cockpit Point kept up constant fire
of shells towards the Maryland shore this
evening, which all burst too high in the
air and did no damage to any one.
