TEE NEWS.
The War in Virginia is phrase that re-
turned to our columns when Ice crossed
the Potomac The old familiar phrase has
also returned, Of the decentralization Of
the enemy" 1t is too old story to excite
attention and lessen preparation. It is =
cause Of deep chagrin that Lee was allowed
pcaccably to recross the river.
Good news co,ncs from Charleston,
where General Gilmore is making good
progress,
We have Gen. Banks first congratu1a-
tory announcement Of the fall of Port
Hudson, and the re-opening Of the Missis-
Eppi.
The great riots in New York are being
Subjected to military pressure that will
grind them small The Government
stands firm. The draft will proceed there
and everywhere.
korgan is run to earth in Ohio, and his
case is desperate one. A few days at
the utmost, and it will be time to write up
ills cump1eted failure, possibly already &C.

Gen. Dix goes to New York to relieve
the veteran Wool. Gen. Reyes succeeds
Gen. Dix in South Eastern Virginia. Gen.
Foster has been put in charge Of the new
military Department comprising both the

The news from the Old North State is
checling. She is nearly ready to return
to her alliance, and join us against the en-
emics Of the Union.

Latest Situation and Aspects.

[spceia1 Dispatch to the Chicago Trfbune.1
CINCINNATI, July 16, 1873.
The following 10 the 1atest particulars Of
Morgan's movement, and comes from Co.
lum9us:
movements Of Morgan up to p. m, to-day.
.At9 4. n,.,,. he passed through sardinia, 16
miles southwest Of Hlllsboro.
Steering clear Of the latter place, there be-
Ing considerable number OF militia located
there, he passed on, doing but little damage
to property but exchanging his own 5aded
horses for fresh ones Of farmers wherever
found. He reached Winchester, about twen.
t, miles south Of H1llsboro. at one P. M, and
stopped there and compelled the citizens to
cook dinner for his band. He left there at
op. m., in the direction Of Pkcton, It Is re-
ported to officers at Columbus that Morgan
and his force we're seen approaching with the
seeming intention Of giving fight
to The militia that Was congnegated
numbering 5000, who were sent from Chilli
GOTHIC, Portsmouth, and other places. Half
m hour Inter the telegraph wires were cut,
thus suspending ill communication with
Piketon aud Portsmouth, There seems to be
no doubt but fight has taken place, but We
arc and must remain in the dark as to the
.esult TIL communication Is re-opened, which
can scarcely be done before tomorrow morn
ing.
One car passed through Winchester at II
o'clock a. n, only two hours after Morgan
had vamoused. If the latter ia detained =
single hour at Piketon, his capture is render
ed certain, for there can be no doubt our
forces will come up with him In that time.
Gen. Judah ia on his way from Mayesvil1e
to Portsmouth with an entire brieade.
Il fast steaner has been despatched from
Portsmouth to hasten his nr1iyal. He vii,
probably reach there about s o'clock this
evening. Bis force in addition to the ], 200
militia already gathered there Will be divided,
P.rt will proceed up the sciota towards Pike
ton; the other and larger division will be
dispatched up the railroad in the direction ot
Jackson c. H. to intercept Morgan, should
be succeed in beating and passing cur forces

Polo, H.. July Is, 1858.
The attendance at the Convention Of United
States ReYenue Collectors, to-day, was ye::;
email. 1t WIS first intended for meeting cf
the Collector and Deputies Of the Third Dis
t.ict Of Illinois; but 1t was deemed Advisable
to invite those Of the surrounding districts.
Tie Collector and Deputies from the Fifth
District, after noting the number likely to be
pr sent, took their leave on the morning
traiu for their homes. The f.loW1ng gentle
mn from the Third District were present:
Il 4. Mix, Collector, Oregon; A. 4 Terrell,
Sterling; 3. Little, Frecport; s. r. Mlnen,
Gnlcra; ]. Mel. Wadsworth, Dixon.
Considerable discussion was had upon OBJ
scu1c provisions of the Tax Law, resulting,
however, In no agreement respecting their
meaning.
Several instances were noted, where parties
had applied to the Assessors for licenses,
gone on with their business, and afeerward
died before the licenses could be issued,
having no property from which the tar
could be realized, thus depriring the Gov
Of the tax upon their sales or manufacturer
It Was stated by NIL present TINT considerable
revenue was lost to the Government by de-
LAYS On the part OF Assessors aud their assist
snts in sending licenses to the Collectors for
the collection Of fees. We would suggest
that much Of this trouble might be avoided
If Assistant Collectors and Assessors were
provided with blank licenses, having the pro-
ger signatures, which they might ISSUE in
n: dialely upon the making out Of the appli-
cation.
The question having arisen, whether the

Office Department to postmasters, and pub

THE HOUR OF TRIAL.

a noble steamship casts off for her first
voyage. Choioely built, carefully appoint
ed, completely manned, the elements fav-
or her, the tide wait on her, again and
again she clcaves her ocean journey, and
her log is ou]ya record Of successes. There
have been such vessels. It is all smooth with
them. P1aises are las1shed upon them,and
their happy Commanders are well nigh
drowned in the distilled honey Of passen-
gers congratulations and the delighted
thinks Of owners and underwriters.
Lucky ship, lucky skipper. Boreas only
whistles gleefully for them, Neptune &C.

is not smooth. There arc rival interests,
and rival owners. Rival runners are busy
with tales no one can disprove. They
1na1iciously whisper that the boat has not

staunch sea-boat, but try her when
the tempest is out, and the seas are run
ming high, she will not live an hour. She
never weathered storm in her lie. And
indeed, her smooth sides and well kept
lines attest it. Sothe runners story makes
IN impression. And her commander, too,
pleasant parlor man, delightful to parties
of lady passengers, dainty and dapper in
the saloon, cares well at the head Of his
table, but you never saw him tried in
q storm. He has always got along well
with his men, because they have always
been good fellows, but q mutiny would
crush him. He could not stand up against
