Having not mere. : ly tasted, but 'eaten to depletion; the fruits of secession, which have turned to bitterness and ashes, they are now realizing the gravity of their mistake they have made and the enormity of the crime committed. They find how fatal has been their confidence in their wicked loaders, and how unaccounta ble the delusion with which they had become inoculated. They begin to see-how false, and shallow, and lath- . !nous were all the charges and pledg es of the rebel chiefs, and where all their treasonable assuraneds have lan ded them. fence the, .penitence, no doubt honectly felt, which they arc • beginning so generally to evince, and the desire expressed to surrender themselves to the mercy of the Gov- • ernment which theyhad attempted to destroy, and under the benign influ: ence of which they had so long and so greatly prospered. . 'The intelligence reaching us from North Carolina, if it should turn out to be correct, is of the most decided characteras to the desire of the. pea ple,of that Btatelte 'return . to their al legiance.

I Tennessee is daily becoming more and more loyal; the desertion of her. li People'in -the rebel army is constant and increasing in numbers. Should we be able to maintain our ground in East Tennessee, as it is fully believed, against the next campaign of the reb ele to recover it, and upon which all ' their hopes -of prolonging the- Willi do pend, the rebel - lines will be forcibly contracted until they embrace scarce ly more than -three States,—South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.

But the people do more than' gladly submit to the old- flag--they enter. tho ranks, form regiment* and assist to:put down those who seek their destruction. The advance of our army and fleet have met - with but little opposition; and the probability is , that the rebel army there will steadi-. ly melt away. The truth is the rebel chiefs have practically given up the. contest west of the Mississippi, and . will withdraw their forces thence to the east side if they • can.—LMagruder may unite with Price and other Com manders 64' rebel detachments in Lou isiana and,Arkansas, with a view to attack Baton 'Rouge or some other point that may promise them a victo ry, with thb view of crossing the Mis sissippi and joining the rebel..forces said to be, augmenting in that region., Louisiana and-Arkansas aro about ta king-the preliminary steps to re-enter the Union' as Freo States. * Tennessee will very: soon do the same., -Missou ri,lientucky and Maryland will inau gurate emancipation at an early day, and. will:make-it as rapid as they be lieve their material- interests will war rant.

Why, then, on the miserable plea of State rights, should there be a single sane man, with allthese accumulating evidences of the go:n . 101%11 downfall of slavery, seek to , koop ,it alive, and hence to keep up an . excitement, • and oppose the efforts of the -Government to extirpate the rebellion, on the ground4hat Slavery_ tbp cause of 'all our woe, will be extirpated with •it ?

For the Globe.] Sectional Animosity. Many people imagine that the sad political events of the past three years will produce a_lasting jealousy between.. the Northern and Southern sections of our country; that the South can never wholly fergive: or forget the fact"Of their subjugation- and defeat, while the triumph of the Northern arms will tend to make us overbearing and intolerant: ' " - . • - Stich is by no means a necessary consequence. It is not to be supposed that the, intercourse between two con tending factions-:--One of which `has become - victorious, •and- the-other• is smarting .under its -defeat,-ean]be: to tally devoid of - bitterness; but we firm ly believe that but a very few years will be necessary to unite their con flict of opinion and soften: the asperity of political differences. The hatred subsisting between the 'Secessionists and people of the loyal States is no More intense than that of the tories and whigs:during the revolution. The people of the so-called Confederate StateS can have -no such feeling of at tachment'io their new fledged' gov ernment, as the loyalists of that Period had toward the English nation and ; Love of country requires deep root to be an abiding plant, and the love of a confederate toward, an ex-. perimental and *successful govern ment is not the sentiment that the old loyalists felt toward the land of their ancestors' and , toward a government in allegiance to which their.-lives had . been spent—a love not to be at once crushed out even by the heel of des potism. • • Indeed, it would scent to a disinter ested observer, that the Southern peo ple mustleel rather :in emotion of dis gust toward a . goVerninent, beginning its career with the leudest assurances of anticipated triumph, has in less than three years proved itself ne less incapable of protecting its own Citizens, than of - preserving its own dignity. There is, something ,almost ludicrous in the aspect of a Govern-. meat Whieh,.at the outset of a rebel lion; declares its purpose of establish ing itself as a nation' ainong nations, and spreading its victorious banners even so far North as Faneuil Hall, so. - soon collapsing by its, own inherent weaknes6; 'a government confessedly unable to meet its own liabilities, at home or abroad,—to furnish its : own armies with supplies, or even to pre serve its own territories from invasion; a government which sees its own pop ularity, day by day, diminishing, and its own territory growing day by day more contracted. When the gigantic bubble collapses;' and theynined,'deceived, and penitent Confederates shall have seen the final triumph of justice and right enforced by the Federal arms, and when the primary cause of sectional irritation shall have disappeared, ittvill take no great lengthof time "for the Southern mind to recover its tone. Once back in the bosom of the old Union; with peaceand plenty reigning where late -I.Y ruled anarchy and starvation; we sincerely, believe. that few, but the dis appointed and outlawed demagogues who organized the rebellion; will re gret the change; that when time shall have softened the asperities of tempo rary and local irritation, and the re turning streams of .commerce 'shall once more flow in their accustomed channel, even the more violent of the Southern people will see, if they do not acknowledge, their error, and that the old flag will yet wave over States more united than ever.
