NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

The Chicago Journal says: 1--WE have con-
Animation Of the report that Gen. Canbys forces In
Louisiana have embarked an important expedition
probably for q movement against Mobile. Most OF the
cbe troops collected for the defense Of that city have
to Johnston and Lee and the presence of Gen.
Candy ON board the United States blookadng squadron
Of Mobile is portent OF contemplated land and naval
attack on that CITY. Admiral Farrsgut the hero OF
New Orleans commands the feet at Mobile. and we
have iron clads enough in the Mississippi to organize
formidable naval expedition in aid OF Farragut should
an attack be meditated. Gen Candy was recently in
New Orleans and issued peremptOry orders to mount
hsayy guns on the works at Chamette and his visit to
Fsrragut wo trust has mischief to the Rebels in It,"
We have reports, not very well verified, OF
formidable Rebel forsy In the Shenandoah Valley with
p threatening of Maryland. This section is favorite
ground Cor rumor and it may be quite az well to await
something more definite before buying gold at 800 So
Tar as our adyices 60 amounts to considerable force
OF Bwslls men getting near or into Martnsburg. a
day or two will bring the truth 1t Is not probable that
any large force of Rebels can be spared from Lee long
enough to do much damage.
The safe arrival Of Gen. Hunters forces at
Charestown, Western Virginia is announced by our
special correspondent We judge from bis dispatch
Ah.. the story of the capture and destruction OF our
batteries was humbug. IL is now asserted that hunter
lcst not pound Of army property. His losses in men
sTin not exceed 1000 in al the enemy's loss was
greater. Our dispatch hints at new movement.

of the stockholders in The TRIBUNE had pougn'
Whisky, what of it ....
No one has ever commended through these col
umns that it is " wrong to purchase Whisky"
The wrong inheres in exerting an influence over
Congress in favor of the interest of the Whisky
speculators and adverse to justice and the pubic
good. By the legislation of this Congress, an
additional market value of at least dollar per
gallon has been given to the very large stock OF
Whisky on hand, amounting to many millions
of gallons. / insist thai this large increase oil
value should have accrued in good part TO the
q. s. Treasury, instead of being given outright
to the holders of and spectators in Whisky.
Had IT. w. through The Journal and other
wise, exhorted Congress to tax this Whisky
fairly, so that the enhanced price which the
consumers must pay for it should in good part
20 into the public chest, would not have cared
that he had bought the entire stock. Noto'
riously, his influence has been felt on the other
side-in furtherance of his private speculation
at the expense of the public interest ana Oh
public Justice. His assertion that he has NOT
risitsd Washington is puerile. Such visit was
needless, as the event has proved.
And now as to the gentleman in hlgh
position" l protest against being put OIL 70
that indefinite future "when / can see" the
interesting individual. To speak plainly, be-
ieve the gentleman is fgment OF l. WIS
tceming brain. If not, why not have written or
telegraphed him long agoi If he is any KIND
of gentleman" high or low, he cannot nave
whispered ISLANDERS into the cor OF my personal
enemy which he Is now afraid to father. hls
assertion is either fact or q falsehood. Ii
fact what can he fesr' II no fact, it must be
a very wanton, atrocous falsehood. There Is
no room for ambiguity or misapprehension.
Let him but come forward, and tell his own
story, and promise not to prosecute or harm
him. Do let us have front view Of the "gen-
tleman." and see how high in position he is!

The official dispatches which we publish this
morning tell their own story. Gen. Grant con-
firms the success Of Gen. Wilson's cavalry OK
petition, by the announcement that sixty miles
of railroad were dostroyed-a loss which the
Rebels could not repair in forty days, were all
the materials at hand. If Wilson had lost half
his command, we should esteem the price
cheap one for such success. As it is, we have
got it with no worse mishap than the destruc-
ton of his artillery and wagon train.
From Gen. Sherman, we have the news of an
unexpectedly rapid success. Marietta, on the
Atlanta railway, is occupied, and Kenesaw is in
our possession. 1t seems uncertain whether
the enemy mean to make any stand at all north
of the Chattahoochee and whether they do or
not, their strongest line has already been forced
TIE position which Sherman few days since
vanly assaulted has been turned, and there is
nothing left to the enemy worth holding TILL he
comes to the river. The campaign proceeds
epace.
