WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 24.
THE WAR NEWS.
The. peouy’s budget, which appears in this
a paper and which we issued yesterday
ca cates, will not give much satisfaction
to those of our readers, who ate hungering
and thirsting for big battles, and who think, .
the Federal Government ‘too slow in-its motions: The news, however, to: those who
regard the course of events with a. military
rather than a political eye, possesses considerable interest. It sows that Gen. MeClelian is ready to fight Gen. Beauregard
whenever the latter gentleman shall see
proper'te attack him. Every day of quietude
seems to strengthen McClellan while it has
a reverse effect upoti his antagonist. Fresh
‘troops are constantly augmenting the Federal forces and every available moment is
employed in drilling and disciplining them.
If Gen. Beauregard ever seriously contemplated an attack upon Washington City,
every day that passes only makes the achieve
ment less within, the scope of possibility. It
seems that he has promised the North and
contigency, i. ¢., a failure to make a demonstration upon the Federal Capital before the
first of October, they may return home.—
The first of October has come—and gone— .
but we do not believe that. Washington , has
been exposed to the slightest danger. The
probability is—provided Gen. Beauregard isa
man of his word—that the North and South
Carolinians are, at tbis moment, on their
warch from Manaseas homeward. Such aa
example of defection will have an exceedingly
depressing effect upon those who still remath in the secession army.
Gallant Old Kentucky, in spite of her secession Governor, is about to vindicate her
loyalty to the Union by opening a bloody ac~
court current with her Tennessee invsders.
Theré are also a considerable force of Secessionists,in her own bosom, that await her
chastening hand. Gen. Anderson, we opine,
Will not permit either domestic treasop or
Tennessee invasion to transform his State
into such a devastated field of war as has
been made of Missouri. Should Tennessee
prefer breasting the storm, to gracefully retreating from the soil she has violated, there
wile some desperate fighting, for both the
belligerent states have enough and to spare
of chivalric pride, The next budget of the
pony will bring us something worth the hearing trom Kentucky.
If the news is to be unreseredly credited,
there have lately been several inconsequential affairs of outposts, in which, with one or
two exceptions, the Unionists have been the
victors. Aa these little successes are too
often the creatons of newspaper reporters, it
_ie seareely worth while to make much lori.

has learned, by this time, that it is not. good
