NEWS OF THE War.
The news, which We copy pretty fully
to-day, from tslegraphic sources, is very
encouraging. Our successes in Virgin
ia, sosfar, are undoubted, the enemy
shayingbeen driven back in every IN
sssnss, and Grants game efectually
Blocked for tie present; If there were
any doubts, on the subject, apart from
the false reports Of the Northern press,
the fact Of Lincolh's calling for 2oO,-
900 more troops, would settle the mat
ter. From all appearances, this will
be the last con to Richmond;" Grant
; expresses his willingness and deternnii-
nahon ID fight out the war on his pres
ent lines, if he can keep them, and the
most desperate ends will be reserted to,
to carry the 'tso.called Confederate
capitol, egenifis should be, as reported,
the withdrawal Of Sherman's forces
from Northera Georgia. Butler is ssid
to be leaving Chester Station, with his
troops, to reinforce Grant, when, Of
course, Beauregard win reinforce Lee,
but that point viii not be left unpro-
teeted, we presume, to afford other op-
portunities of attack from new lesies
that may be collected at City Point
Phe enemy hare only been successful
in . few Of their raids on little unpro-
teetsd towns and railway stations, but
.alWays repulsed by our arms when met,
however insigni6c numbers. The
losses on Both SIDES have been heavy,
but that Of the enemy trebling ours,
according to their own acknowledge
ments-the wounds Of our men are gen
eraHy very slight. We base our re-
marks on the undoubted authority Of
Gen. lee, himself, though thereEare
srUakers here, as every place else, who,
reading Yankee news, are SO wise as to
make calculations of our situation by
amalgamating and then equally dividing
tho aeeoantssof both parties, to deduce,
sg 70 then, assae account. We have
no hope to convince these men Of errer,
nor are We 80 uncharitable to suppose
that ssthe wish is always father to the
thoug',lt," SO we dismiss them.
ia Georgia, Gen. Johnston is playing
his old game Of ssshut-.mouth, :" fighting,
and falling back; but in every instance,
itseems. the enemy has been severely
punished, and while he is tolling them
on with lengtheniag lines, he is still
contracting his own, and will be pre-
pared, it is said, in due season, to bring
on general engagement, which it is
confidently asserted will prove most
successful. In conversation with officers
zr7ttiile Army, we llearn that the fall
ing back, was originally a part of Gen
Johnstons programme, and that his
movements are fully understood IL
Richmond. We see that Gov. Brown
has called out the entire militia, to re
port at Atlanta, and Savannah, thu
Gen. Johnston will be enabled to re
isFe:a large portion of his force o
guard duty and police, sand strengthen
his1command withgallant veterans: I
Sherman and Bis forces DO not fal
back, o. are not withdrawn, we MAJ
look for stirring news in . few days
"Both armies, says the Macen, Ga.
Confederate, "are in a right angleo
triangle, the base Of which is the line
.of railroad on the Etowah, running
from Kingston to Rome-the perpen
dicular line is the railroad from Resacs
to Kingston, and the, hypotbeneuse il
the Dosfanadia river, running from
Rome 70 Resaca. When the grand bat
tie does occur, if the Yankees are dc
feated, as We have no doubt they will be
we prophesy that no more than twenty
thousand will ever reach Chattanooga
Gen. ohnston by his strategy has ia
ken such g position; that if defeated h
is no worse off than he would have bee
at Dalton, while if successful he vii
have the army1of the enemy at hisme
cy."
