TEE WAR NEWS.

In the last week, but little of active move
ments is to be reported. Some immaterial
engagements have taken place, as the defeat
OF small Confederate force on Blackwater
river, and the capture of Federal gunbo at
and the chase of another, on Stone river,
ner Charleston, s. G. The Harriet Lane is
rumored to have escaped safely out ofGal-
weston bay, running through the Federal
blockading feet. The Federals appear to
be concentrating a very heavy force for
assault against Vicksburg, and Banks has
ordered large supply of intrenchiug tools
for operations against Port Hudson. Van
Dorn's forces are said to be gaining Grants
rear; and Forests cavalry are supposed to
have gained positions on the Cumberland,
In the rear of Rosecrans, threatening his
transports; while John Morgan is also re-
ported to have re-entered Kentucky, with
the object of cutting the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad. The accounts ofmove-
ments In North Carolina are not very intel
ligible. The army of the Potomac is still
stuck in the mud on the north bank of the
auO uOIIHCEu papers COL
tinue to describe it as in a condition ap-
preaching Generalization. The remedy fol-
this is still urged in some quarters, Of
abandoning the movement on Richmond fol
the present, breaking up the army of the
Potomac, and distributing its columns in the
South aud West.
LATEsT.-Late last evening, after the
foregoing was in type, telegraphic dispatches
reached this city, stating that the Federal
blockading force at the Port of Charleston,
South Carolina, had been attacked by Con-
federate iron-clad gunboats, defeated, and
chased off; and that the foreign Consuls
there had declared the Port open to general
commerce. Gen. Magruder had also de-
clared Galveston open to trade. Four YES

Confederate privateer "Retribut:oD." Gen
