The death of Major General McPherson (who won all the victories ever won by the Yankee army under Grant) is confirmed, and will prove a serious blow to the enemy's operations in Georgia. McPherson was the ruling adviser with Sherman, as he had been with Grant, and was possessed of great caution and much ability. He is the man who has led all the flank movements which have resulted in the flanking of Gen. Johnston from Dalton back to the rear of the Chattahoochee river.

The War news. It is more than probable that Grant is making preparations for that "brilliant move" which we have been so often assured he had in contemplation, and which a Northern paper of the 22d announced as about to commence. On Tuesday night it was known that a large force of the enemy was crossing to this side of James river on their pontoons. From two to three corps, it was supposed, crossed in the darkness, and yesterday morning a very large wagon train followed. Yesterday morning their advance deployed in front of a body of our troops, who fell back from the line of breastworks they occupied near New Market, about nine miles below the city, to a stronger position, where they could not be flanked by the largely superior force in their front. During the day, in some skirmishing that took place, prisoners were captured from the 10th and 19th (Canby's and Hancock's) army corps, showing that a large portion of the Yankee army has crossed to this side. It would a

The Washington Chronicle, noticing the failure of the late "peace negotiations," says: After considerable correspondence between the parties, it was concluded to refer the whole matter back to the two Governments for reconsideration. All negotiations having been terminated Mr Greeley, in company whit Mr Ray, Private Secretary of Mr Lincoln, catted upon the Commissioners at the Clifton House, on the side, where a protracted and pleasant interview was held, and the various questions under consideration were discussed at length. Mr Greeley left the Falls for New York on this afternoon's train. It is understood that the Commissioners, with Sanders and Jewett, who are both here, are to remain and carry on negotiations with the Democrats.--A letter is to be prepared for the Chicago Convention, in which the Commissioners will ho

sat down in his study and wrote a letter to every preacher in his conference, urging each one to help him in the project of obtaining men enough for a regiment, and informing them that be would command it. The result was, that in two months he had raised not one but nearly three full regiments, and in the one which he commanded every captain, it is said, was also a Methodist preaches. Col Jacques was sent with his men to the Army of the Cumberland, where he fought under the eye of General Rosecrans, who, as we have reason to know, thought highly of him as an officer, and found him useful in the management of certain religious questions which came up in Tennessee, and in the arrangement of which we believe Col Jacques has been for some time engaged. The reporter who tells the story of Colonel Jacques's visit to Richmond assert that it was no respect official in its character, and that he had no warranty whatsoever to enter into any negotiations between this Government and th

re soon reconstructed, and telegraphic communications are soon restored — Destruction of property and robbery of stores do not involve impoverishment. Moreover, they have no natural effect upon the main movements of the armies. They are at most an interruption. We do not know of an instance in which they have compelled an enemy to retreat or to yield a strong position. Our own raids have been more or less failures. At the time of their occurrence we had glowing accounts of the raids of Stoneman, Sheridan, Averill, Wilson, and Kautz, and of the dash and brilliancy of their opponents. But beyond the loss of hundreds of gallant men, and some of our finest officers, and horses without number, to what did they practically amount? How will the columns of profit and loss when added up balance? We can have no better illustration of the practical result of these expeditions than that afforded by the recent visit to our doors. On the one hand, we have lost property, but we are very far
