SoTTR SITUATION.

The news from our Army to day, is
quite cheering, though not decisive
The news from Grant tells us of his be-
| ing driven over the Rapidan, and we
learn that the Yankees have foot-holc
at Chester Station, on the railroad be.
tween Richmond and Petersburg. Gen
Beauregard had already driven them
to their gunboats from this point, with
a loss of six of them, but they have re-
turned reinforced from City Point, and
at our last advices great battle was
impending, Gen. Beauregard having al.
so been reinforced by 10000 troops,
with daily accessions, we look with con,
fdence to the result.
From Red River, we have many re.
ports, all favorable, though the capitu-
lation of Steele or the surrender o1
Banks have not been confirmed. It is
known, however, that the latter is sur.
rounded, and there is every prospect
that such will be the case. .
Forrest and Mosby are fully engaged
in their several localities, and we. every
day expect TO hear something of Gen.
Morgan, and his command. We have,
in this connection to mention a report
that he had fallen on Averill, some
where near the Virginia and East Ten
nessee rail road, and cut him to pieces ;
this is coupled with another report, it
is thought too true, that the gallant
and dashing General ]. E. B. Stuart,
has been killed. -..-
Johnson has his hands full in North
ern Georgia though his force is great
ly inferior to that of the enemy, he
holds them well in hand, and has so far
exhibited tact and been rewarded by
success.
On the ewhole, everything looks cheer
ing for the Confederate arms, while the
spirits of our troops are kept up by the
strict confidence they have in their lea
ders-and the success, that has SO far
attended them. AS we have said, moth
ing decisive has been received, the
telegraph wires either being down Or
under Government control, we there
fore must digest, as we may, what un-
connected kilograms we receive, and a.
wait the grand denouement as PATIENTLY
as we can. -. .-. r-
Our telegraph head will give the la
test news we have: ...
