FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, Aug. 81.
The New York Tribune's Washington
special says;
Farragut is to remain at Mobile as his
work is not done with the capture of Fort
Morgan.
As important as the capture Of Will
mington would be, it would require the
combined attack of the army and navy,
and Grant and Sherman have need of every
available man.
Richmond papers of the 28th, admit the
loss of nearly 4, 900 in the attack at Reams'
Station. Prisoners say their loss is over
5000. Another attack is expected, Lee
having recalled his troops from the Shen-
andoah for that purpose.
The indications are that heavy battle
will be fought near Atlanta, on the Macon
railroad, before the close of the present
week

The London Times, in an article on
Grants repulse at Petersburgh, credits
both sides with great valor, and winds up
as follows; s
We, from this distance, while we de-
plore the racri6ce may admire the heroism
which for three months has sustained the
comb4tants in this deadly grapple, and
we cannot but believe that the American
character must gain ground by the moral
qualities that have been called into action;
but as enough has been done for this, we
should rejoice to see the belligerents sepa-
rate with mutual respect
We may depend upon it that no man of
General Grants army thinks meanly or
maliciously of his Southern adversary.
War, among its other lessons, teaches foes
to respect each other and we sincerely
hope that the feelings which must be thus
generated, may lead, ere long, to concilia-
tion and peace.

with all calmness and sobeTness, that the
