The war news from America is not very important. The

Con- federates claim to have inflicted on the 19th and 20th February a check both on General Schofield's column, advancing from Kingston to join Sherman, and on the left column of General Sherman's army in its advance northwards to Goldsboro'. The former check was inflicted (if at all) by Bragg, the latter by Hardee. The Federals have no independent news of the engagement. General Hardee claims to have put 3,000 of the Northern army hors de combat at .4.verysborough, and only to have lost 450 men himself.
