trenches on the south side, is to be in a continual battle. All, therefore, is not quiet along those lines. Wilmington to be attacked. An attack on Wilmington has long been hinted at, and, indeed, anticipated. There is no doubt that a formidable fleet is fitting out at Beaufort, North Carolina, and Fortress Monroe, and troops are being collected from different points for the special purpose of making an early movement on that place. As good fortune would have it, the month of November is nigh; and terrible are the storms which beat upon the shoals of the North Carolina coast — the harbor is bar-locked and land- locked, and none but the best pilots can get in at all. As to lying off the mouth of Wilmington harbor for any length of time, it is simply impossible; no vessel can live there ten days without going to pieces. From Georgia. The enemy seem to be considerably exercised about the movements of Hood. He has, as anticipated, possession of Tunnel Hill and Dalt

As to lying off the mouth of Wilmington harbor for any length of time, it is simply impossible; no vessel can live there ten days without going to pieces. From Georgia. The enemy seem to be considerably exercised about the movements of Hood. He has, as anticipated, possession of Tunnel Hill and Dalton, and has been tearing up the railroad towards Tilton. He has been for the last week "just where Sherman wanted him," and we presume he is there now. If he should blow up the tunnel, which is nearly three quarters of a mile long, and through a gravel hill, it would interfere seriously with the operations of the Western and Atlantic railroad, by which Sherman hopes to get his supplies — when he does get them. From the Valley.

From the Valley. Passengers by last night's Central train brought no news of importance. Sheridan is believed to be moving in the direction of Winchester, as his communications are in danger, he has no means of subsistence, and he is far removed from his base of supplies. Rumors are afloat that Mosby has made another grand capture; but at last accounts the rumor was still flying, and could be traced to no reliable source. From Florida. It is said that all the troops, with the exception of a very few, have been withdrawn from Florida, and that the country is once more in the enjoyment of quiet.
Butler (search for this): article 1
The War News. Still all is quiet on the north side of James river. The Yankee and Confederate armies are still strengthening their respective earthworks, but there is no sign of an early renewal of active hostilities. Our river batteries continue to hammer away, with little intermission, at Butler's workmen on the Dutch Gap canal, and deserters say our shells are very destructive to Yankee and negro lives there, and materially retard their operations. Our only reason for doubting the effectiveness of our fire is this story of the deserters, who are liars all. To the lines south of James river, though there has been no battle, and to all appearances as little prospect of one as on the north side, still the term "all quiet" by no means applies. On the contrary, there is an incessant, ceaseless war of pickets and sharpshooters, varied, if not relieved, by an interchange of cannon shots. On many parts of the line a man cannot show his nose above the entrenchments withou
