TARBORO': NOV. 21.
' : The Neivs.
There is a quiet now prevailing in
army matters, and if there arc any im
portant movements taking pUce the
press are ignorant cf thcoi. Gen. Lc
has his old position upon the Rapid a o
and Mead has his, and there they wil
rcmaiu, we presume until the -winter
is over, but still there is uo telling whu
a day may bring forth.
Affairs around Chattanooga remain
unchanged. The advantage gained by
Gen. Thomas in tie possession of
Lookout Valley, has placed General
Bragg in a very uncomfortable position.
We rather think, that Bragg will Iijvc
to fight shortly, or the flank movements
of Thomas will force him to fall back.
At Charleston the bombardment con
timus as usual, bujt the enemy arc ma
king bui little headway in reducing the
city: We would think that they would j
g(t tired and give it up, but these Yan
ices arc a persevering race.
