The news.
Yesterday was an unusual dull day, there being a great dearth in the news market, which was the subject of general remark.--The report which prevailed towards night, to the effect that a battle was progressing on the line of the Rapidan, we feel authorized to contradict. All was quiet when the Central train left Gordonsville yesterday evening. The cannonading heard in the direction of Germanna Ford, previously noticed, was caused by artillery practice.
