THE WAR NEWS.

4
Yesterday was another one Of tho se
days of steady rain which produce ia
thomless mud and put a peremptory stoT
to military operations. All was quiet
wet and cheerless, on the lines before
Richmond and Petersburg. There was
not only no movement of armed forces,
but no individual movement that could
be avoided Soldiers not on duty hung
over their camp-fres in their bomb
proofs and log houses, and sighed for the
| return Of fair weather. Even had the
| weather been favorable, it now seems
| doubtful whether Grant was making
ready for so early.an advance upon our
lines as we had all agreed to expect
The Northern papers announced that he
has gone to visit his family in New Jer-
sey; and as he left the James before the
setting in of the now prevailing wind
storm, it may well be questioned whether
the weather has delayed the execution
Of any of his movements. He would
scarcely arrange that any important ope-
rations should take place in his absence
Whatever his designs, it will be time
enough to speculate upon them when the
sun shall again penetrate the nov heavy
overhanging clouds.
General Pickett still holds the advanced
position taken from the enemy on Thurs
day night. The Yankees in his front are
in very bad humor because of the loss
of their picket line and pickets, and
especially because of their signal failure
to retake the former on Friday night
and they have, in consequence, treated
him to repeated heavy, but harmless, can
nonades. ....t.
FROM PETERSBURG.
The enemy's cavalry attempted an ad-
vance or reconnaissance on our extreme
right on Saturday morning, but were
quickly driven back. Since then they
iiofC hCpl iulCI-
Burnside, after nearly four months of
disgrace on account of his miserable fail
ure at the Battle of the Mine, has again
returned to the command of the Ninth
corps. Grant and Hancock alone are
now absent, as old Butler, also, has re-
joined the Army Of the James.
The Army of the Potomac now con-
sists of the Second corps, General Parke !;
the Fifth corps, General Warren; the
Ninth corps, General Burnside. The
Army of the James also consists of three
corps: the Eighth, formerly Wright's,
though we have heard nothing of him for
some time the Tenth, under Terry; and
the Eighteenth, under Weitzel
AFFAIRS IN EAST TENNESSEE.
General Breckinridge's victory in East
Tennessee gets better as it gets older
The prisoners captured are now reported
at eight hundred and fifty. The Yankees
stopped on Friday to make stand at
Strawberry Plains, but finding General
Vaughan again making for their rear,
broke again, and did not stop until safe
within the Notifications at Knoxville.
FROM KENTUCKY.
We have late news from Kentucky,
giving cheering accounts of affairs there.
The day before our informant left, one
hundred men had come out and joined
General Lyons's command.
Bands of rangers are organized in
different portions of. the State, and are
joining the Confederate army as fast as
they raise commands.
The State went largely for Mcclellan
in the late election, and Lincoln received
very few votes.

MORE PARTICULARS OF sHERMAN's MOVE

cago Tribune says:
These, with $1,000 under Fitzpatrick,
and brigade of artillery, make total
force of about $4,000 men, splendidly
equipped and supplied with every appli
ance of war. All the public buildings,
depots, manufactures, etc, in Atlanta
