The War News. In front of Petersburg, matters continue perfectly quiet; a state of things, indeed, which has existed for several days past, interrupted only by the severe cannonade on Sunday night. Grant appears to have commenced housekeeping with his family at City Point, having appropriated for that purpose the mansion of a former resident, and seems perfectly indifferent to the laurels won by his competitor, Sherman, in Georgia.

It is said that the hospitals are filled, and the sanitary boats make daily trips down James river, loaded with sick and wounded. Bilious and intermittent fevers are very prevalent, and the men are dosed, morning and evening, on rations of quinine and whiskey.
