The Russian news is excellent. During the past week the

Russians have made a good deal of pi ogress against the Germans-. on the river Stokhod, and have taken large number of prisoners. It is said, indeed, that in the five days ending last Sunday these numbered over twenty-one thousand, and there have been fresh captures since then. Fifty guns, heavy and light, and ninety-three machine guns were also taken, besides trench guns and over ten thousand rifles, " with quantities of ammunition and stores of all kinds." But though these successes are very encouraging, and reflect great lustre upon the Russian aims, the Russians have not yet put their hands upon the great railway centre of Kovel for which they are striving. That, we do not doubt, will come in good time.
