In line. Of battla, from a half TO o quarter of a
mile apart, and al some points, we understand,
In full view of each other.
"This position was maintained yesterday,
and under these circumstances, IL our inform

to see how the two armies can keep from fight

cavalry were at Newton, King aud Queen

tain our defensive situation, In which purpose
they wero frustrated. II is evideni, hon per,

PAINFUL SIGHT.
II ID nothing unusual To sec q stout negro
going through the streets Of this city with load
Gf confederate treasury notes frcsh from the
stamping plesG. lieis accompanied by a clerk,
who superintends the traIsfep OF the stamping
office to the treasury. However painful this
slight Ia In u politico-economica point Of view,
| y does not equal the narrowing feeling produced
presses IL the old Richm9nd House. When
these sights and sounds shall cease, We shall
begin to look for that good time coming In our
financial afiairs which we all hope 10 see.
