RALEIGH: FRIDAY, OCT. al, 1854.

We confess we are at a loss to know precisely
where Gen. Beauregard's army is, and of course its
present object is Lot known to any outside military
circles in Georgia and Richmond. 1t is supposed
to be at or Gave Springs in Alab ANA, and the
report is that Beauregard is to be joined by Kirby
Smith, General Taylor, and Generals Forrest and
Wheeler. This would swell his army to some fifty
thousand effective men,
Sherman is still at Atlanta. The federal papers
clam that he has seventy thousand men and ratons
for several months We do not know whether this
is true or not His rear communications have GER
tainly been interrupted, if not seriously injured
but every rear attack upon him or his lines must
be made by regular troops as it is now clear that
the population in his not disposed to harass
him or destroy his communications.
We confess we do not see much if any thing to
cheer or encourage in the condition of things in
Georgia We wish we could.
The news from Richmond and Petersburg at the
time of writing this is quite meagre. 1t may be
that the thunders of battle will be heard again in
few days 1t is not to be supposed that Grant has
been idle during the last few weeks, or that he will
not give battle again before going permanently into
winter quarters. But we can only conjecture as to
events around Richmond and Petersburg, as the
papers of those places contain but little informa-
tion and the is true as to the Georgia papers,
We may expect at any moment to hear that Grant
has resumed the attack on Petersburg and Rich
mond, and it is more than probable that he will
move on both sides Of the James at the same time.
All We can dc is to express the utmost confidence
in our brave troops, and hope for the best.
