The News.
remarks,

Our news columns to-day contain
cheering intelligence from all quar-
tiers, from the east, the west. and the
centre. There has been heavy fight
ing near Petersburg, and on the
north side of James River, with the
advantage decidedly in favor Of the
Confederates. In the valley there
are reports of successes on the part
of EARLY; at any rate the enemy III
that direction has been eii;cctually
checked.
From Georgia, exciting news may
be expected at any moment. Hoods
army has changed position, and it is
supposed that offensive operations
are about to be inaugurated. For
rest, as usual, is doing excellent ser
vice in Tennessee, and we do not see
how Sherman is to remain where he
is with such a formidable force in his
rear. The Atlanta disaster will be
retrieved before the campaign closes.
Things are working g!oriously i'll
Missouri. Gen. Price with his for
ces is in the centre of the State, and
volunteers are focking to his stand
ard by thousands. The Yankees
are evidently quaking with fear at
this daring invasion of the State, and
are put to their wits to defend them
selves against the approaching rcb-
els. We look upon this campaign in
Missouri as one of the most important
of the season, and one that will have
great effect on operations elsewhere
We shall have something further to
say concerning it, when We get fuller
accounts of the expedition than those
we now have. On the whole, every,
thing looks bright and cheering fos
our canse.
