THE REBELS DESPONDING A late limos of the Richmond W/wg con Ilium the following miler despondent edito Hal : All the Indications point to a long war. At one time we had boped that, the dub-- the elms of our volunteers unrestrained, but simply guided by able Generals--would bake planted our banners before front in the heart of ths enemy's country, end conquered an hoittrible mace. But dillerent police has obtained.. We of the South who were to attack, have adopted a system of defence, and, so far, have uniformly awaited an ad• vamp of the foe. ThM may be the safer policy, but we have neves' been able to up melte it. Out conviction iv, that a victo• rains advance into the enemy's country is the only road to a lasting and honorable peace. We must fight and we must conquer to f ire we can make a treaty. If we cannot do this, we must submit to Ihe fate of the weaker party. The enemy have dominion * over the sea, he can assail us at almost in numerable points ; he can plunder our coast and penetrate our rivers. Ile is supreme in the Chesapeake Bay ; he commands the Po ' ionise ; he has possession of Maryland, of North western Virginia, and is contending for Missouri and Kentucky. While he 4.lyeatena our whole coast, he may assail us at any point of out extended frontier. The whole situation must be altered before we can have peace on any terms compatible with honorand safety. We have never heard of any plan sug Igemed for affecting this alteration short of ,currying the war into the enemy's country. While we stand ou the defensive, and the lenemy is entrenched on this side of the Per tomac, it is impossible fur us to dstroy his supremacy at sea or prevent his predatory incursions on our coast. We are subjected to all the disadvantages of a defensive war, of indefinite duration or to peace dictated by an enemy. The possibility of our success is not within ranee of an acCident. To pis.- vent our sublup, it extermination is all that can be hop. LI tor, We have no skill in strategy, and know nothing of the incline at the command of our Generals, but if this Is left to us, we had as well be looking out (or terms of submission, and the sooner the better. An endless war which affords no opportunity for victory or revenge in a bootless undertaking. " The Southern people who have offered themselves and their all for she prosecution of this war, and have reposed ImplaCit con tideuce in the men entrusted with its corduct have looked for something better, It is nut to be disguised that a sense of uneasiness and distrust is gradually supplanting that generous confidence. A suspicion is gaining ground that all the advantages of our pan - ion have not been profited by as they might have been ; that the war has not been pros ecuted with the vigor-and energy demanded by the emergency. We hear mutterings and complaints apart from those connected with th, quartermaster, commissary and medical departments glowing out of the appointment of so Many civilians to high commands.— Many of th. se aramitments have filled the country with -I,preliensions of some great disaster ' FALSIS Nanotis. —That the rebel army to bad!) , equipped, tb t it is deficient in food, that it la not so large as our own. Ttc southern papers that reach us give a differ ent statement of fact. The rebel army cannot be different in these things. The ad Teruo:rig columns of the Richmond papers contain accounts of all kinds I military goods to be hail, recruiting a large number of blankets. Tle prices of loud prove that there is a large abundance. In regard to arms, we know that an immense number was stolen from our arsenals by Floyd bin in addition to that a large supply has been re ceived by way of Matambras, and up the Rio Grande. That they hare plenty of men we if now whenever a fight occurs fait they generally outnumber us in every engage ment. Nr'rth Carolics has aent no leas than thirty regiments tutu the field, and when she can do that, other arid rhiber States, like Georgia and Louisiana. can send s great ma ny more. It is about time that we had got rid of the notion of the weakness of the South, and, made up our Minds to fight the rehisla earnestly as the only way to tint down rebellion.
