THE REPORTED REpULSE AT GRANTS PASS con
TRADICTED.
From The Richmond Sentinel, Feb l9
We have but little war news TO chronicle Il
day unless the telegraph shall have something furth
"a say before we GO 10 press. The cold weather W
hold the armies still both sides in all this region, al
its present rigors are probably felt in Mississip
As to the from the latter have reason
saying that the report of repulse of the eBcmys tie
at Grants Pass, Mobile, is error. The encu
did little but show himself, keeping without range.
At the last accounts sherman had succeeded in reac
ing the Mobile and Ohio Railroad at a point GALE
Quitman. This road runs north from Mobile. ~
pretty nearly with the line between Alabama and Nj
sssippi Quitmau is In Clarke County, Mississippi II
miles north of Mobile. The enemy are said 10 have d
ptroyed some ressel work that place. We are VIII
out information Of the position OF army. We hay
strong hopes that Sherman will sOrey regret before
is much older that he has embarked on his present VI
dertaktng.
