LONDON, Nov. .5.-5 a. m.-Thus far
the special dispatches describing the
battle OF Belmont bear a stereOtyped
character proving that the hands Of
the censor have been at work upon
them. They ara too incoherent to en-
able the reader to form an accurate
idea of any event or TO place a proper
estimate upon the value of the victory,
All accounts agree respecting the
splendid fighting qualities exhibited on
both sides. All admit, however, that
the victory could not be properly fol-
lowed up and utilized, owing to the
want Of sufficient cavalry
As all evidence tends to show that
the enemys retirement was orderly

the same time we are confirmed i'm our

average "reunion" is more likely to do
harm than good. The trouble is, that
