We are now without later dates from the North than the 31st, and yet so engrossed is the mind with the insidious foe lurking unseen in our midst, that a very moderate desire only is manifested for war Some express a desire to know what has followed upon Pope's rectory of the 30th upon the battle field of Bull Run, where our news ceases. At this moment, I am advised of the death of Lieutenant Newton, of the Ninetieth New York Volunteers who but three months since returned from a trip to his home in New York, where be then was married to a young lady, who may from this writing get the thousand news of her man.
