THE WAR NEWS.

We publish in another column as com :
plete statements of the position of our ar
mics as can be got. No news of any spe-
cial Importance from either GRANT or
SHERMAN. Both of these Generals have
been turning correspondents away from
their armies for telling too much of the
truth about things some time past
GRANTS army is making no progress that
we car hear of; but says that
SHERMAN has made another advance
The raid through Maryland and Virginia
was a pretty large thing. A few hun
dred Confederates daringly approached
Washington while their comrades drove
and carried off millions of dollars worth
of property. LINCOLN got his periodical
scare and donned his Scotch cap and plaid
cloak ready for the emergency. Another
Cincinnati scare is the rext thing in or
der, and soon again will be heard the
humbug catch-cry, orally to the defense
of the State" Those terrible rebels play
the roll Of "now you zee it-now you
don't'' to perfection.

100000 MORE.

The great American butcher has issued
his call for 100000 more able bodied
men, whom he proposes to feed on hard
tack until otherwise disposed of. The
call is dated July 18th, and the draft will
take place on the 9Th of September. He
no doubt congratulatcs himself on his
success in numbering and slaughtering
The two millions already called out, and
nov he proposes to take another INSTALL
ment of flee hundred thousand more. 1t
is bound to hit somebody, and it only
remains to be seen whether the American
people will submit always. IF they stand
this draft they will stand and see their
liberties taken from them, and with cool
ness look IN while despots are forging
chains to bind them and their children in
the most abject slavery. We're not com.
ing father ABRAHAM. Nary time.

each rider led a horse and were driving
before them nearly 10, 1000 head of cattle.
When last heard from they were making
for Ashby's gap. A small portion of reb-
ell cavalry were known to have been at
Chester gap Wednesday noon. Cavalry
of Harry Gilmore were the last of the
rebel force to cross the Potomac, which
they did a little above Edwards ferry
After crossing a small force was detached
from his main command, and sent toward
Snickersville, when the main body moved
directly for Ashby's Gap.
NEW YORK, July l6.-It is reported
at Georgetown that a division of the 9th
corps captured on the 18th 5000 of the
rebel rear guard on the River road.
NEwsYoRK, July II.
Advices from Sherman's army state
that three of our strongest corps are south
of Chattahoochie, and are strongly in
trenched in the abandoned works of the
rebels
1t is rumored that the rebel General
Many is wounded.
The rebels have fallen back to the out.
er Notifications ct Atlanta, which are three
miles from the city.
The works are very strong, with 10000
militia in them.
The rebels are moving all their sup
plies to Augusta, fearing a flank move
ment and capture. Another report says
johnson has fallen back to Cedar Bluffs,
8 miles from Atlanta, thus virtually yield
ing that stronghold.
NEW YORK, July II.
The Times correspondent in front of
Petersburg of the 14th says arrange
ments have been made between the 9Th
corps and the enemy in its front to stop
skirmishing while doing picket duty, and
great relief will be afforded to men on
both sides who, are enabled to walk leis-
urely about.
The enemy are constantly making new
works and Strengthening the old ones
Deserters are continually coming in.
Senator'S Wilkinson, Chandler and
Sprague are on a visit to the army.
There is great joy inside the rebel lines,
perhaps over the Maryland raid. They
are greatly mistaken if they expect Grant
to release his death grasp on the throat
of the rebellion. (Thunder.)
I. Dispatches from Buffers headquarters
say the rebels continue to fire en- trans
ports from their moving rifle battery
Our gunboats follow the battery and shell
it. Otherwise all is quiet.

b9- 1t is said by correspondents of
English papers that the greatest feeling
of hostility and discourtesy is shown to
English travellers and tourists in Germa-
ny and that in many instances landlords
of hotels have gone so far as to refuse
them beds, for the simple reason that
they were hated Englishmen. Had the
American people pursued the same course
in reference to English tourists and also
to English emigrants to this country, we
would to-day, probably, have a united
people and an undivided country, instead
of a civil war in which the North is ar
rayed against the South for the purpose
of annihilating or subjugating it and wi
ping u every vestige of free govern
ment. It was such men as the notorious
land pirate and traitor scoundrel, GEORGE
THOMPSON, who first sowed the seeds Of
discord in this country by preaching and
~lecturing with regard to our institutions.
There is a feeling of hostility and hatred
entertained by all Englishmen to our
government and institutions, and it ap-
pears as though that feeling is born in
them and a part of their nature, for every
purp of them, almost without an excep-
ton, who has come to this country and
become a citizen is a traitor to it. They
prove themselves traitors because that in
all contests and conflicts from a dog fgh.
up to a war between the two governments,
they are for the mother country and
against the one they have adopted. They
are traitors because when once natural
lied and having the power to vote, they
always vote with the traitor party of the
country, and have always done so ever
since the naturalization of JOHN BULLS
first pup in the United States down to
the present time. They are now found
in league with the Abolitionists of this
country, and are in favor of Transforming
the American Republic into a central
despotism. How far they have succeed
ed the world already too we'll knows.
