WAR NEWS.

We have nothing Of interest to rec
ord this week from our arlnies-nf
battles lost or. won---no Z advances by
our own, or the Federal armies, ane
can only say in the oft repeated Ian
gnage 'All quiet at the Front This
hull in the noise OF battles, may be the
quiet, SO necessary to all armies after
"a severe engagement, or it may be tho
stiffness and secrecy with which the
opposing Generals are massing their
forces at different points, preparatory
to another general battle. Let this
cessation OF hostilities mean What it
may we feel confident that when yer
this silence is broken and we ale
called to measure arms with the Yam
KEGS either on the banks Of lsapidal
or Tennessee or elsewhere the same
spirit will pcrvale our forces as in
time past and victories be gained; but
il We were permitted to make a wish
which would be fulfilled, we would
say give us 10 more fruitlesss victories,
with such @s,crifcc Of lives Of noble
Sullihruns.
