THE WAR NEWS.

1t Is more than probable that Grant is
making preparations for that brilliant
move which we have been so often as.
sured he had in contemplation, and which
Northern paper of the 22d announced
as about to commence.
On Tuesday night it was known that
large force of.the enemy was crossing
tpthis side OF James river on their pom
toons. From two to three corps, it was
supposed, crossed in the darkness, and
Yesterday informing a very large wagon
tram followed Yesterday morning their
advance deployed in front OF body of
our troops, who Eel. back from the line
OF breastworks they occupied near New
Market, about nine miles below the city,
to a stronger position, where they could
not be hanked by the largely superior
force in their front
During the day, in some skirmishing
that took place, prisoners We're captured
from the 10th and 10Th (Canby's and
Hancock's) army corps, showing that
large portion Of the Yankee army has
crossed to this side. Ii would appear
from this that Grant has come once more
To try his luck in the swamps of the fatal
Chicka hominy, and that once more he is
TO strew the old fighting ground with
the corpses Of his soldiers This may
be economy, for they We're dying so IA
pidly, and dying 50 idle, beyond the Ap
pomattox that the Yankee nation was
getting tired Of it. More blood is wanted
by Grants masters, and he is about to
yield to the demand
THE ARMIES IN GEORGIA.
In another portion of the paper will
be found some very late and interesting
Northern news. The death of Major
General Mcpherson (who won all the
victories ever won by the Yankee army
under Grant, is confirmed, and will prove
4 serious blow to the enemy's operations
in Georgia. Mcpherson was the ruling I.
adviser with Sherman, as he had been
with Grant, and was possessed OF great
caution and much ability. lie is the
man who has led ali the flank movements
which have resulted in the thanking of
Gen, Johnston from Dalton back to the
