THE WAR NEWS.

Tho Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday
says; There was fight on the Wei
don Railroad on Sunday, for the pos
session of that line, which was formi-
dable in proportions, desperate in
character, and glorious in its result
LEE gave orders in the morning that
the road must be opened, at what
ever cost. The effort was made, tfe
cost was great, but the attempt failed.
The battle is clearly and graphically
described in our special dispatches, and
to these we refer the reader. Our loss
was light, our troops fighting from be
hind their works. The onemy's loss
was very heavy, and will not, we pre-
sumo, fall short of four thousand kill
cd, wounded and prisoners. Tho enc.
my's loss in officers was also severo.-
GcneralA.P HILL was mortally wound
cd Generals HEATH and LEE (son of
b E. Lee killed. The second Corps,
which did good work North of James
river up to the close Of last week, was
in Sundays fight This shows the
great advantage of General GRANTS
present line. The Weldon Railroad is
NOW within our fortifcations, and the
opinion Of our officers is that the whole
Of LEES army cannot dislodge u.s. The
persistent efforts Of the rebels to rcpos
scss il, shows how important it is with
them. The army has gained decisive
victory On the North bank ofJamcs
river, the situation remains favorable.
The 10th Corps is highly compliment
cd in official orders.

No 'sAigger's" name could be found
on the record of inventors names at
the Patent Office The intellectual
eallbrapf the audience may be estima-
ted when tits told thatthoy applauded
this as tho hit of the day. They, as
well as the speaker, seemed scarcely
able to contain themselves for exul-
tation at being actually demonstrated
to be superior TO the negro! That
will do for STocKDALE.
Did this meeting advance the cause
of the officiating peace party? We
don't believe it. 1t had the air of be-
ing ashamed Of itself, all the way
through. Some rougbs were there,
who wanted.to be melted to open re-
bellion, and were chagrined at the
cowardice of the leading speakers, in
touching tho subject 50 mildly, when
thcyhad been led to believe from what
they knew of the private sentiments OF
those speakers, that the standard Of
civil war would be openly raised
against t&es administration. They
knew themttQ be none too good to do
this, if they were not too cowardIy,
and had not profound misgivings as to
tho result. Tho copperhead peace
leaders are evidently aiming to get the
minds ofs their followers properly in
famed, in order to use them in bloody
work, when indications point to sue
cessfil result to them Of such work, OK
pecting TO be able to easily restrain them
by soft public speeches if the signs
provo Ihtoward. They sec that it is
not yet time to raise the bloody flag
in this eommunity-and we. think
their eyes as time progresses will be,
como more and more widely open TO
that fact. q t~.... .-
In short, the result of all our obser-
vations of this peace meeting and its
attending circumstances, has been such
as to convince us that there is yet It
prcdominating weight of intelligence
and patriotism among the people, suf.
ticient to preserve the North from the
gulf of bloody ruin into which igno,
rant and brutal treason would plunge

more particularly, VIC could do it best
by comparing it with that of certain
backwcods hunter, we'll known as a
crack marksman with the rifle, who
on being encountered in the woods by
a aneighbor, just after lc had made a
missing shot, was rallied on the unusu-
al circumstance. "You see, said the
fellow, rather sheepishly, Il seed a
thing thar in the bushes, and couldn't
tell for sartain whether it was calf
or deer; consistently l sighted on it
so us to miss it if it was calf, and hi
it if it was a deer" So with Con
gresham Finck, in his speech at the
peace meeting He tried to aim his
blunderbuss so as to hit the mark if il
were one thing, and tomiss it ifit were
something else, And as might have
been expected, he hit nothing.
