The WAR News.

We continue to take extracts from the Richmond
papers relative to the war news in Virginia These
extracts although rather stale, nevertheless valuable
as matter of history and will be found interesting
We are indebted to the Raleigh Confederate for them
We have not saen Richmond paper ia several days,
at least II a week Up to the present writing we
have received 10 news from Virginia today. 1t Is
understood the Yankees got possession OF the Weldon
and Petersburg Rail road on Monday evening, above
Belfad and cut the wires. 1t is feared they also dc
s!royed the bridge in that neighborhood. There is
considerable anxiety manifested here to learn the
suit of yesterdays battle Petersburg not that
any one APPEARS to have any doubt OF success, but
on account Of icing unable to receive any tdings of
the many friends who are known to be IL the ranks
there.
P. S. Since writing the above we learn that the
telegraph to Petersburg is again in working order
We shall probably receive dispatches usual be-
fore going to press
The from the ITans-M Mississippi re-confrms the
surrender OF Banks at Alexandria.
If the dispatches from Mobile give the correct YER
sion, it would appear that GRANT has lost heavily in
Virginia.

nicatioL ig now open to and beyond Richmond The
news is quite satisfactory.
