The War News. The news yesterday was very meagre. All was quiet at Petersburg; but it is said that the movements of the enemy's wagon trains, and the unusual dust hovering over his camps, showed that some movement of troops was taking place. It is probable that Grant is moving more men to Washington. It is further stated that he is removing some of his heavy guns from in front of Petersburg, but this is hardly probable. Directly those guns leave the front of Petersburg, Ulysses cases to be a Lieutenant-General. From Mobile there is nothing further. It may be proper to state that the enemy's fleet menacing that city is very much in the same position, as far as chances of success through its own efforts are concerned, as a fleet menacing Richmond from below Drewry's Bluff would be. On this side of the river all is quiet? From General Early, commanding the department of Pennsylvania and Maryland, there is no intelligence which could, with prudence, be made public

ebted to a friend for Northern papers of the 6th instant, from which we get some additional intelligence of interest: Grant's last disaster at Petersburg — the official Report. The Yankees are just beginning to comprehend the extent of the d advantage in numbers at the point of contact was ever more admirably contrived or more successful than that by which General Grant got the bulk of Lee's army over at Deep Bottom at the time when this assault was to be made; but it was a great failuion of the North. Perhaps a real invasion may accomplish what so many demonstrations have failed to accomplish, and draw Grant from the James river. But if Grant is still to stay there, who shall repel the invasion? No confidence would be felt byGrant is still to stay there, who shall repel the invasion? No confidence would be felt by the country in any other man than General McClellan. But from General McClellan it seems the President requires "pledges." McClellan must relinquish one of the rights of a citizen before he can be permitted to serve his country. But we shall see.

From Petersburg. Petersburg, August 8. --Since the explosion of Friday evening there has been nothing of interest. There was some picket firing and shelling to-day, but resulting in nothing. Grant is certainly sending more troops from his command to the Valley.--Grant, however, is not believed to have abandoned mining, but is still persevering in digging. From Petersburg.

cceed at all. The generation of Yankee correspondence remind us forcibly of this planter whenever a new scheme is on foot. No matter what it may be — whether Grant be trying to "outflank his own shadow," or to storm the Confederate batteries by a direct attack in front — whether he determine to fight it out on this line, if ire than the Yankee instructors in the art military usually are, when their last piece of strategy follows in the footsteps of all the rest, and turns out, like General Grant himself, to be neither more no less than a gigantic fizzle. Not more, we venture to say than was the pupil of the New York Herald, who, after having sat for monsole them and to re-kindle the war spirit in the midst of the most overwhelming and most dispiriting disasters. The capture of the Alabama caused them to forget Grant's 150,000 men slaughtered to capture Richmond, and the capture of a few ships at Mobile will entirely obliterate all lingering recollection of their heavy failures
