THE WAR NEWS.

Very little of importance has transpired
in our armies during the last week. True,
a report is in circulation that Mobile Is IN
our possession, but this needs con nirmation.
Before Petersburg an advanced position was
taken bv several regiments, which they hold
having surprised the rebels. Sherman
sppears TO be resting his army. Good news
may however, soon be expected.
