ar the river as they seem to desire for the present. From their batteries, which are situated on very high and commanding positions, they shoot smells promiscuously ever the bluff along the river, though their effect has been trifling thus far. Sherman still passes to our left, and threaten by flask to displace us again. It is idle to speculate on his prospective movements or his apparent manœuvres. The heavy demonstrations is the direction of Campbellton are not indications that he intby either party. It is evident that the enemy is making this sudden and persistent demonstration for the purpose of attracting attention away from their operations in some other important quarter. There cannot be the slightest probability that Sherman will force a battle in the present position of both armies.
