The War News. The hour of trial seems to have arrived, and although we would avoid giving publicity to anything calculated to excite alarm, or give uneasiness, we deem it useless to disguise the fact that there exists grounds for the most serious apprehensions. The news of yesterday is of the most exciting character, and a doubt can no longer exist that the gunboats of the enemy are making their way up James river.

Heavy firing can still be heard from the direction of James river, where, as you have already been informed by telegraph, the Galena and other gunboats have gone. The side-wheel steamer susquehanna has just moved up, passing the Seminole and San Jacinto. In the meandme, the Dacotah, Monitor and Naugatuock.--The Susquehanna moves up and takes the lead of the San Jacinto and Seminole. No answer from either of the rebel forts, and the Dacotah and Monitor are steaming up the Elizaneth river. The Nangatuck is lying off towards the mouth of the James river. Presently the Dacotah and Monitor approach Craney Island and Sewell's Point. The Dacotah fires every few minutes alternately at Sewells Point and Craney Island, the enemy making no reply, although all the balls reach their interded destinat
