The End of the Rebellion.
At no period of our four years of war
lias there been so much unity of sentiment
as npw among intelligent men North and
South. The point of agreement is that the
rebellion is: doomed, and cannot last many
Weeks, and probably not many days. Our
reasons for this observation do not depend
upon rumor. They are based upon feets.
Enough is known to the general public to
induce the confident expectation of the
Speedy triumph of the Government. But
exclusive of the admissions of the Northern
presß and politicians who have sympa
thized with secession, and of the letters
written from abroad exposing the de
spondent spirit of the rebel emissaries, and
of the published confessions of Jefferson
Davis, the conspirators in Congress, and
many of* the soldiers and politicians in
the insurgent section themselves, there
is a deep secret element, move powerful
than either or than all of these agencies*
i ohich is doing the work with fatal and or
daintd precision. This instrumentality is
a silent process-working like the seed
in its rapid germination in the spring time ;
like the still yet wonderful life of the trees;
like the ever-growing and never-dying vi
talities in the mould of the grave ifeelf.
‘And When’it bursts into flower and into
fruit, into vindication of principle and into
Vengeance upon Treason, we shall admit
how far more potent it has been than
the louder public manifestations of . this
Wonderful and warlike epoch.
Defences of Canada.
The recent discussion in the British
House of Commons, on the relations be
tween the United States and Canada, re
veals the fact that, after all, England is
not much disposed to go to any considera
ble expense to retain British North Ame
rica. Mr. Lowe, who has successively
been Indian Secretary and Tice President of
the Board of Trade and Education, and
will probably soon re-enter the Govern
ment, frankly declared that it would be
better to part with Canada than heavily tax
England for making defences there which
would be indefensible against American
monitors. The cost of providing such de
fences would be immense, and, while the
peril to Canada is supposed by some short
sighted politicians across the water to be
imminent and immediate, it would take
years to complete them. To spend a com
paratively small amount, such as fifteen to
.twenty million .dollarß, in colonial defences
ona small scale, would be merelythrowing
money away. To expend large sums on what
may never be o,f any use, would be to burden
the tax-payers of England for what they
feel little or no interest in. If England
were polled this-day, nine hundred and
ninety-nine persons • out of. a thousand
would ask -“what is Canada to as, that
our hard earnings should go to protect it ?”
Mr. Cardwell, the Colonial Secretary,
raised a Government cheer in the Com
mons when he exclaimed, during the de
bate in question, “ war with Canada is war,
with England!" We do riot know that
any person or party here wants to war, with
Canada, though her spasmodic and inter
mitting sympathy with the rebels cannot
go far to make her popular here, but if war
were carried thither, who can doubt that
Canada would be conquered before a single
red-coat from England could arrive to re
sist us ? We do not want war. We seek
amity, if we can obtain 'the genuine
article. But we repeat with Mr.
I own, Mr. Forster, and other British
Statesmen, that the defences of Canada
against our arms. The best defence of
Canada is the American principle that the
increase of territory by conquest is not
right. Our forbearance is a stronger de
fence of Canada than, an army of ViC
tobia’s red-coated, pipe clayed, and stiff
necked armed mercenaries. The know
ledge of this fact probably induced Mr,
Lowe to. recommend, on the ground of
Imperial policy and as a means of extin
guishing all pretext for hostilities on the
part-of the United States, the entire aban
donment of Canada to self-defence-in time
of war, and as the best indication of that
policy, the withdrawal now, in time of
peace, of all the British troops from that
Bolony. So, too, thought Mr. Bright.
Humiliation of the British Tory Press,
The assured and palpable ascendency of
the Government of the United States, and
the gigantic forces it has evoked and the
Wonderful inventions it has originated and
organized to overthrow its rebellious chil
dren, having had their due effect upon the
statesmen of Great Britain, as shown by
the recent debates in the British Parlia
ment, we may now look for a responsive
repentance on the part of the Tory
newspapers and periodicals. As long
as calumny, , falsehood, and ridicule
could be indulged, when our struggle
was undecided, these were the choice
morceanx set before the British public;
but when the Titanic blows of the Federal
Government struck the beast of slavery
in the forehead, and brought him bleed
ing to his knees, there was no time for the
cheers and jeers of the aristocratic classes,
who, in their eagerness for the murder of
a great nation, resembled the insensate
crowds in the seats of an ancient amphi
theatre, who were regaled at the death of
brave and holy men. As these humanita
rian Sybarites cannot laugh at what is se
rious fact, nor deny what is passing
before their eyes, lest they may rouse
the contempt of their audience, or rather
their readers, they must change front,
and meekly unsay their slanders and their
lies. To this most humiliating work such
papers as the London Times, such pe
riodicals' as Blackwood and the Edinburg
Review, and their echoes and followers,
must now reduce themselves. We could
wish our worßt enemies no severer punish
ment than to see them forced, as the
writers of these foul and shameless false
hoods will now be constrained to do, to ad
mit their own shame and to beg pardon
for theif own debasement,, in order to save
themselves from desertion and ruin.
A Loyal French Newspaper,
Of two French daily journals, published
in New York, the Messager Franco- Arne-
Ticain is distinguished not only for the va
riety and value of its foreign news, its spe
cial Paris correspondence being particu
larly full and reliable, but for the honora
ble part it has taken, in its report and
discussion of American events, since the
,war begun. It has not trusted alone to the
Statements which it found in our leading
journals, but has established correspond
ents at New Orleans and other important
places, from whom it frequently receives
exclusive details. Its comments upon pub
lie events and characters are always in
good taste, and it has no sympathy with
or its leaders. We think it only
right to point out to the public here, whose
business or inclination may make if desi
rable to take a paper in the French lan
guage, that the Messager Franco Amen
min is loyal to the cause of Order, Truth,
and Humanity. Its agents here are John
Pbkihotoh & Soil, South Seventh street.
As we watch the pulsations of the
popular heart, in the South, we must not
forget that if they aTe feeble it is because
the patient is much depressed and, has
been very ill. Our knowledge of the
anatomy of the people of the seceded sec
tion is that when they are permitted to
act for themselves they soon show vigor
and courage. Let them once feel that
their limbs are free, and they will seek
for the “gentle butchers” Who have'been
backing and haling them with a fierce zeal
fhat will contrast strangely with their dog
ged submission to the crime of secession.
Victoria and Maximilian.
Queen Victoria has followed up her re
cognition of Maximilian, as Emperor of
Mexico, by sending him an Ambassador,
in the portly person of Peter Scarlett,
third son of the late Lord Abinger, (bet
ter known as Sir James Scarlett, the
ablest advocate at the English bar, than in
his later position of Chief Baron of the
Exchequer), who is a regularly bred diplo
matist, having commenced his career as
at Constantinople, in 1825, and
having been employed as Secre
tary of Legation, and Envoy, at Paris, Rio
Janeiro, Florence, again at Rio, and Tus
cany. He is a steady rather than an able
man, somewhat more of a bon meant than
the Mexicans are accustomed to entertain,
and is now in Mb sixty-first year.
According to cußtom, he was accredited
to Maximilian in letters written by Vic
toria's own hand. There are two letters.
The first, dated October, 1864, acknowledg
ing the receipt of a missive from Maxi
milian announcing his having personal
possession of the Mexican throne, on the
12th of last June, and the second, written
on the last ninth of November, (Lord
.Mayor’s day, of all dajs in the year !) in
troducing Mr. Scablett as her Envoy Ex
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary,
and beseeching him (Max.) to place entire
confidence in all that Mr. Scablett
should communicate to the Emperor in her
name. Each letter is addressed “To my
good brother, the Emperor of Mexico,”
concludes “lam, brother, your Imperial
Majesty’s good sister, Victobia,” and be
gins “My Brother.” This is the etiquette
among Sovereigns,:the idea being that they
constitute one great (and somewhat ex
clusive) family. It will be remembered
that the Crimean War is popularly be
lieved, by European politicians, to have
originated with a deviation from the stere
otyped. style of the late Czar. Early in
1853, (so runs the story,) Louis NapolEon
sent an autograph letter to all the rulers,
European and foreign, with whom the
French Government had diplomatic rela
tions, and addressed each of them, except
those who were elected for limited periods,
as “My Brother.” This circular an
nounced that Louis Napoleon had been
elected “Emperor by the Grace of God
and the will of the French people,” and
elicited the usual complimentary response
from'all who received it— Nicholas of
Russia excepted. Intolerable pride was
the chief drawback on his personal
character, otherwise very _ amiable,' and,
besides, remembering how the elder
Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, which
made the surrender of Moscow, the “Holy
City” of the Muscovites, a stem necessity,
he had no great liking for the French
least of all, for a new Napoleon at the
head of a renewed Empire. Probably, too,
he had fallen into the vulgar error (not
quite exploded in this country) that the
new Emperor was not only an adventurer
and a parvenu, but also a profligate and an
idealist. At all events, Nicholas, when
acknowledging Louis Napoleon’s letter,
wrote “ Mon Ami” (my friend) instead of
the usual “Mon Frere” (my brother),
which monarchs use in terms of perfect
equality. Napoleon, it is said, turned
this off with a very bitter joke, saying,
“ 1 Mon Ami '.’—well, this it pleasant. We
cannot help brotherhood, but we choose
our friends.” He soon manifested his
amity, by inducing England to join with
him in espousing the cause of Turkey, the
.Czar’s “sick man,” whence sprang the
War in the Crimea.
When Queen Yictobia sends an auto
graph letter to our President she ad
dresses him, not as “My brother,” but as
“My Good Friend.” It may be remem
bered that her despatch to President Bu
chanan, over the Atlantic Cable, in Sep
tember, 1858, commenced “My Good
Friend.” In the late Mr. Rush’s very
amusing and instructive “ Memoranda of a
Residence at the Court of London,’! the
form of a letter from the President of the
United States to the regal authoritv '
i" Her
liU üb" rrince . igent; the
first, in 1817, Mr. Rush’s letter of credence
as Ambassador, and the other, in 1818,
a reply to the Prince’s announcement that
three of his brothers (the Dukes of Cam
bridge, Kent, and Clarence) had been
married. In these Presidential letters the
Prince is addressed as “Our Great and
Good Friend,” and. the conclusion states
that it was written “by your Good
Friend.”
Besides the two letters by Victoria to
Maximilian, she addressed a third “ To
my good Sister and dear Cousin, the
Empress of Mexico,” also accrediting Mr.
Scarlett. As the lady .addressed is
daughter of Leopold of Belgium, and
first cousin of Victoria, the mention of
the real as well as the imaginary relation
ship may be accounted for.
It is the belief among a large and power
ful section of the Parliamentary politicians
of England, that Queen Victoria was pre
cipitate in this acknowledgment of the
new Empire and Emperor of Mexico, and,
early during the present session, notice
was given, in both Houses of Parliament,
that motions would be made and debates
raised upon the question. They maintain
that Maximilian ought not have been ac
knowledged by England until he was un
doubted ruler of the whole of Mexico,
reigning over that country by the free
choice and with the good will of its entire
population. On the contrary, Maximilian
has possession of a comparatively small
portion of Mexico, and would not he able
to maintain its occupation without the aid
of Napoleon’s troops, Juarez being un
eonquered, and, with a large force under
his command, a troublesome customer.
Maximilian is playing Emperor after
the old " legitimate” fashion. Though he
has not sufficient money to pay his troops,
he has ordered (and it is to be presumed
paid for) a service of plate from a Parisian
silversmith, so beautiful and costly that
thousands of curious persons flocked to
look at it-before it was packed up and
shipped off for Vera Cruz. Moreover,
following the example of his predecessor,
Iturbide, of most unhappy memory,
(who founded the Order of Notre Dame
de Qaudaloupe, in 1823, remodelled
by Santa Anna in 1858, suppressed in
1855, and revived by the Provisional
Government in 1863,) Maximilian has
created anew Order of Knighthood, that of
the Mexican Eagle, and has conferred its
Grand Cross on the Emperors Napoleon,
Francis Joseph of Austria, Alexander
ofßussia, and Pedro of Brazil, and also
upon Victor Emmanuel of Italy, and
Charles of Sweden. The nominal chief
of a new Empire, who employs his money
and time in getting up such a trifle as’ a
pss-udo-chivalric Order of Knighthood, is
not precisely “ the right man in the right
place.” It may turn out, ere long, that
England and some other Powerß were a
trifle too hasty- in acknowledging the crea
tion of the Imperial Frankenstein of the
Tuileries.
We have seen a private letter from
one of the most illustrious military men
of the times, in which, after speaking with
much humanity of the betrayed Southern
masses, he says: “ Now, mark me! Davis,
Hunter, Cobb, and the rest, will call
upon onr armies, the Union armies, when
peace has been conquered, to save them
from their own people.”
Whenever yon hear it said that the
American Government cannot conquer the
rebellion and bring baek the South to Us
allegiance, remind the objector of the fact
that foreign nations not only admit that we
can do and are doing these very things,
but fear that we shall have enough surplus
of muscle and money left to look after their
concerns, even before the war 1b entirely
over!

liETTEK FROM “OCCASIONAt.”
Washington, March SO, 1863.
As the main armies of the rebels, under
the command of their two boasted Gene
rals, is steadily pressed -within narrower
limits, and as the forces of Grant and. Sher
man (with Sheridan, Schofield, Kilpatrick,
and Hancock, Stoneman supporting or com
ing to them,) are closing and consolidating
around the enemy, it will compensate you
to look at the other portions of the military
theatre. - You realize almost at a glance
the grandeur of the system of Lieutenant
General Grant and the boundless resources
and energies of the American Government.
It is believed that Sherman will have, if he
has not now, ninety thousand fighting men
“in the field,” in his immediate com
mand, and this without stripping Grant
or borrowing from Sheridan. The
squadron in the James and in Hampton
Roads is itself a large navy, and yet it is
one of the most inconsiderable of the co
operating elements of this demonstration.
But, as I have said, “Look elsewhere 1"
We may gather light sometimes in the
darkness; we may learn at intervals from
our enemies. The rebel newspapers tell
us that the Yankees are preparing a formi
dable simultaneous invasion of Texas, via
Galveston, Sabine Pass, and Arkansas;
Thomas holds Tennessee in his grasp,
and laughs at the rebel rigged battalions;
General Yogdes, of the Regulars, (a
Philadelphian, and a descendant of the
Revolutionary Yogdes,) takes command
in Florida with a splendid body of
men; Washburne is in strength at Mem
phis, holding that important key to
the interior; Dana has the Department
of Arkansas and the State of Mississippi,
watching the rebels under Price and Kirby
Smith; Pope and Dodge have Missouri in
charge, and have completely overawed the
traitors, reorganized the civil courts, ex
pelled guerillas, and disciplined the militia,
the best defenders, when loyal, of the ho
nor and property of a State ; Canby has
an army and a navy in co-operation at Mo
bile and around Hew Orleans (and both
very large), and we dally look for news of
the capture of Mobile; and Wilson’s ca
valry, 10,000 strong, was reported at
Chickasaw, Ala., on the 21st instant, to
cut off the retreating column of. the enemy
from the chief city of the State. In this
look beyond the immediate operations in
Virginia, you must not avoid the fall and
occupation of Charleston, Savannah, and
Wilmington, and the important Mississippi
strongholds of New Orleans, Vicksburg,
h atekez, &e., each demanding the pre
sence of an army and the aid of vessels of
■war. And these numerous parts of the
great science of war, each essential to the
other, and all acting in easy yet gigantic
harmony, are understood and moved by
the great mind at the head of the- army,
who watches them with a solicitude that is
as sleepless as the vigor and rapidity with
which he uses them are tremendous.

This is one of tie questions of the hour; It is

important DECISION.
The Second Comptroller of the Treasury has de
cided that the instalments of bounties under gene
ral orders of June 26,1863, are payable on regular
pay-days, with an alternative founded on time of
service since enlistment. In fact, the Instalments
are Intended to Indicate the time far which they were
severally made payable. If an enlisted man, enti
tled to.bonnty, be discharged ’alter a service, from
date of muster-In, of two months, six months, one
year, eighteen months, &c„ he is entitled to the par
ticular instalment based upon each of these respaa
tive periods of time, although the regular pay-day
referred to In the general orders has not occurred
In regard to deserters, paragraph 16S ‘of Revised
Army Regulations has been amended to read as fol
lows : Deserters shall make good the time lost by
desertion, unless discharged by competent au
thority. Non-commissioned officers or soldiers who
have absented themselves without authority from
their companies, regiments, or posts of duty, shall
also, In fulfilment of their contract or enlistment,
make good the time lost by reason of their un-.
authorized absence, upon such absence being found
by a court martial.
A soldier deserted January 28, 1863; returned to
regiment April 4, 1863; last paid to October 31,
1862. He was restored to duty without trial, with
less of pay and allowances only during period of
absence, and olaimed pay, &0., from date of last
payment to date of desertion. The Second Comp
troller decided aa fpllows: “ When It Is olear that
a man Intended to desert, an order from a general
officer osnnot give to a deserteflmoney belonging by
law to the United States. The pay and allowances'
of this man up to the time or his retnrn were for
feited, and cannot be paid, exoept ln p violation of
regulations having the force of law, he haring been
so long absent as to show that he was a deserter both
In faet and In Intent.”

THE CAPTURED SAVANNAH COTTON.
Collector Simeon Dbapbb has made an elaborate
official report of all the facts concerning theootton
taken at Savannah by Gen. Shbbman;, The total
number of baiea was 38.560, six thousand of which, I
wore of “Sea Island." It had been gathere<|fh ]•
from various Confederate States, partly to prevent
Its falling Into the possession of Union raiding-1
forces, but mainly to enable It to bo easily shipped I
by the blockade-runners. The greater portion of it l
belonged to'the so-ealled Confederate Government.
It was found stored In different seoti.ons.of the„olty. |
Scon after General Shbbman took possession of 1
the ootton many persons wont Into the warehouses 1
on their own account, in Savannah, and marked a j
large number of bales. Many of these marks
presented persons who were dead. Tire persoor f
who thus marked the bales and professed *o bet I
genuine claimants of the ootton wore not thelegiti- I
mate living representatives of the former-owners. I
These facts being known, an order waß Immedlat y -j
lathed to prevent persons entering *^ e
where (the ootton was stored. The statement that I
private marks have been obliterated slnoathe cot- j
ton referred to has come Into tho possession of the j
Government is pronounood untrue. The rebel Go- |
vernment brand was removed from a large number
of bales by the rebels at the time of the evacuation;
with the Intention of claiming the ootton them
selves. j
Many such persons are undoubtedly among the
bogus claimants, . In removing those brands a great
portion of the bagging eras destroyed, and new bag
ging was necessary, which was furnished-under the J
superintendence of Gen. Mmos, quartermaster
general. Tbe United States agentaor officers did
not obliterate any private mark upon a single bale
; of the Savannah ootton. The order forbidding
| persons from going Into the warehouses where
the cotton was'stored, besides the. reason sta
ted! above,-. was . to prevent- the, rebel Govern
ment agents from destroying' It -by fire, which
was several times attempted by. them. Mr.
Dbapbb, in a public notice, announced that any
statement that ans party des.lred to make concern-'
lug the cotton taken at Savannah would-be re
ceived by an agent designated for that purpose
I Many statements were made and have been caro-
I fully filed by Mr. Dbapbb, and at the proposed time
1 will receive due.eonslderation by the Secretary of
I the Treasury. Within the next ten days a part of
this cotton will bo advertised for sale In Now York.

You have already been apprised of Sherman’s

of every kind, varying widely from each other,
and undoubtedly: just as widely from the truth.

ttouse To march out In the open field would be
rertain defeat and a wholesale murder of hitmen.
There Is no reason, just now, to say that this Is
true! bnt some consistency Is given to the Idea of a
peaceconference being In session by the fact that
-Sectetary Seward left this afternoon for City Point,
lit Company with the British and Spanish totals,
tarsi This departure, like that of the President,
and the unexpected arrival of Sherman, has given
hew: Impetus to rumor, and what was before a hub
bub has now become a storm. Although., of oourse,
the preolse objeot of his departure Is not knotm,
yet most people believe, very naturally, that it has
, something to do with the conference and Its sup
- DOMd object—peace negotiation. Meantime the
trnoßt improbable stories find eager listeners and
ready believers. - —;
SMBBIDAM HBAED r«W.
; Xf a conference between the President, and the
deputies Of the Confederacy Is not In session, ltvery
will be necessarily, A despatch has come here
Iroffi -New York announcing that Sheridan had
started 1 on smother raid on the 27th. That .18 three
days ago, and the objeot of the match can he reached
In muoh less time. The despatch, when It was sent
to New York, was contraband; now It to old, for the

with sad emphasis, lu Slohmond. When every end
ol his expedition Is carried out Richmond wßj be

And-while the cells are helng drawn arouud Tj»q,
Johnston lies at the mercy of the combined armies

Though the movement of Grant at the very mo

Is really nothing conflicting. Our peace terms are
unconditional j they have been stated many times,
and It Is well for the benefit of the rebel leaders
that while argument la being employed and the
dictates of duty Indicated to them, our .bayonets

01810 RAILROAD.
On the 23d of December. 1853, an expedition, called
the “ Willing Mining and Exploring Expedition,”
left New, York, arriving at San Francisco thirteen
months later. After recruiting a little the expedi
tion left for Arizona, where it has been ever since,
in;the midst of the wildness and solitude of nature.
Aletterta the St. Louis Republican fays that it has
made important discoveries, among them a natural
pass for the great Pacific Railroad, which avoids
the Sierra Nevada entirely. The line of this pass,
or rente, 1b from Los Angelos to the Owens Lake, on
easy grade, thencq>up that river to the Big Pine,
thence east to Deep Spring Talley, on the trail of
tlje expedition to Providence Springs, thence across
the Great Death Talley to Santa Clara, Los Tegas,
pkrowan, Provo Lake, Borth'ond’s Pass by way of
central City, Denver to Junction Olty, Fo.rt Riley.
Between the Big Pino Creek and Owens river and
Los Angelos there la not a hill to cross. The grade
irfnot over twenty fceDtothe mile. The resources
of the country through which the road passes are
EOifßUcii&g* ,
ashling,iSetripof the expedition numerous ruins
of ancient settlements of the country have been met
with. Broken pottery is found Btrown "over all the
parte travelled over. Ancient forts, situated on the
highest peaks of hills and mountains, ate nume-
and towns of considerable size are seen, in al
most every valley of note throughout the entire re
gion of Arizona, proving that the country was set
tled in former times by a better and more industri
ous race than the present tribes of thieving, mur
derous Indians called Apscheria; It Is not much a
matter of speculation to define the causes which an
nihilated the people who have left such marks
of civilization behind them. Volcanoes of more
force than Stromboll or Vesuvius existed here, and
, it is probable that the bread and lengthy volcanic
mesas, the surface of which is covered- with tups,
•may conceal ia their great depths cities ol greater
magnitude in Arizona, to say the least of the im
mense ruins - left visible. - -Here, from all the
appearances’of former settlement of'the coun

oivilized race of people, rich in the great re
sources of a country, which, perhaps, in a
month wss made desolate by the throes of
volcanoes whose huge craters make a large gap In
the contour of tbe earth’s face. These volcanic
eruptions happening at different periods, and loosen
ing tbe earth’s crust, together with the upheaval of
the igneous rocks, have created immense seams in
the rocks, and tbe disintegration of the rocks so up
heaved formed a light porous sol). Consequently

.AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS AT THE WBST.—A
gentleman who has travelled extensively In the
West and Southwest reports that in the States of
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio fuller crops will be
plantcdthis spring than perhaps during any of the
past three y ears. The places or enlisted men are
faßt being supplied by young persons growing
up, and the refugees from the South are very
numerous, and will furnish mush labor, which
they will be obliged to do through neces
sity rather than inclination. In Kentucky
ICBB than an average crop of grain and vegetables
will bos planted this spring. In the celebrated
“ Blue" Grass” region, the decilne will pro
baby be o&e-tbird, which may be taken as an
average for the whcle.State. Farmers evince a dis
position rather to hire out their lands for a year or
two than to plant for themselves, and are more
feady to sow grasses than grains. Labor is neces
sarily “demoralized though, perhaps,less so than
might have been expected. In some parts (armors
end planters offer their late “servants” regular
wages.
, Tennessee, In the counties below Nashville, where
the soil is of the first quality and the demand enor
mous, very little can be produced the ensuing sum*
mer, and the supply will have to come Chiefly from
the. North. Mon from this section who lease
abandoned plantations are apt to turn their atten
tion rat her, to -the raising of cotton than to either
food or live stock. Considerable numbers of oattle
from tbe North will be Imported during the spring
months, aid s beginning Be made for luture de
velopments. The orders for'larea Implements are
unusually heavy In the Northwest; especially in In
dianapolis and Chicago, where reaping and mowing
machines,’ &o'., are made in immense quantities,
while in cities south of the Ohio river orders have
gregtly fallen off.

tcrjr
The spring campaign* which Is momentarily ex
pected to open, will be not only the final, and, there
fore, most Important one of the
which has evidenced the superlorsklllandresottrow
of the generals and people of the North. The last
oampalgn-the first In which Grant controlled and
our armies moved In ohedlenceto one
merely preparatory to the one wMeh Is about to
open. Now all our great armies are moving
towards one centre, enclosing the weakened rebel
armies within the/great olrole, and the centre ib
Richmond. There are at least five combinations
against Richmond, nil powerful. These are the
armies ,of .Grant, under Meade and Ord, and the
simles of Thomas, Sheridan, and Stoneman. The
latter, os the despatches thlß morning Inform us,
started on the 2Tth on a new expedition with
that well-equipped, well-drilled cavalry which
rained Early’s army In the Talley. We will
hear from him soon, perhaps on the hltherto-unap
proachable Southslde RaUi oad. On the sncoess of
this raid and Sherman’s movements will undoubted
ly depend an early and successful movement or the
Armies of the Potomac and the James. While
four great armies are menaolngtho whole available
military, power of the Confederacy from Raleigh
and the lino of the James and Appomattox, from
another point is advancing the victorious army of
General Thomas. The Richmond papers of March
27 “ General Thomas la preparing a formidable ad
vance either into Southwestern VlrgUda or Western
North Carolina;as the requirements of the opening
campaign shall seem to indicate. Ho Is now re
ported to be.at Knoxville, with
men, while a portion of his force 1b thrown forward
as far oast as Morristown. He has repateed the
East Tennessee Railroad to Bull’s Gap.andla stlU
engaged in putting It In running order In the oi
rectioD of Bristol*” • - ■ ■ '
General Etonoman is also moving towards tko
east with large and well appointed bodies of oaval*
ry. A despstoh from Wautuga bridge, Tennessee,
says: “ The forces under Stoneman are rapidly
advancing. They have recovered one hundred
miles of railroad, and are driving the scattered
troops of the enemy in. confusion before them, (wo*
Stoneman will soon strike tko enemy wkere tkey
least expect It. Probably when this despatch
roaches Philadelphia the Richmond papers will
have chronicled the advance,” ' '
The rebels hare now no coast line* Mobile is an
isolated city, and will fall when we choose to strike.
General Sherman is not yet ready to move, as tho
following field-order, dated near Bentonvllle, on
tfaeKM,testifies: ’ ' ' ...
‘• The General commanding announces to tne
army that yesterday it beat} on its chosen groana,

“ On the same day Major General Schofield,from
Newbern, entered and occupied Goldsboro, and
Malor General Terry, from Wilmington, secured
Cox’s Bridge Crossing and laid a

But his army will rest and be ready when the
time for striking cornea.
The rebels admit their defeat at Averysboro, bat
Contend that* the main' object of the' battle was
achieved when Hardee joined with Johnston at
Raleigh. Ha opposed two divisions of Slocum’s
ar my, the’whole of Kilpatrick's army, and an lm
mensenmenntof artillery, and retreated wlthhonor,
after having placed 4,000 of our men hurt da combat,
and only cop of his own. A victory Is claimed,
however, at Bentonvine, for Johnston over Sher
man. The rebel papers are endeavoring to keep np
the oonfidenee of the rebel people and soldiery by
setting Sherman’s army at low figures. The Kloh
mond Dispatch of the 2fth says:
The following statement of tho strength of Sher
man’s army was found in tho headquarters of one
of his general's after its owner had Jett. Thisrepre

The Newburyport Herald lately had an article
about an old edltornamed Mycall, who kept school

Marriages of Cousins. —Some very interesting
facts in connection with the subject of marriages of *
consanguinity have just been'put onrecordbya
French statistician. He carried on his Investiga
tlj-KS In the town of Batz, in the French department
of the Loire Inferieure, Having selected forfcy
e ._ c ®, Be !, ° r consanguineous marriages, “he ex
amined thchusoande, wives, and ohiidron, both
in regard to their physical , and intellectual de
velopment, and made Inquiries concerning' rite
families examined; and their ancestors, through
tbe mayor, pastor, and oldest Inhabitants. Oom
bining tbe statistics , thus collected, he has found
that Intermarriages dp not bring about disease,
idlotcy, or malformation. However, It Is Important
to Mark that these results are attributed by the
writer to the favorable climate of the locality, and

CITY ITEMS.
Millinery Opening:*—Prevailing Styles,
Ac., Ac.
The semiannual “ Opening Day” of our city mil
llnery establishments has become so regular and
stereotyped an event,.that to pass it by unnoticed
would he a newspaper misdemeanor scarcely less
flagrant than a failure ;to chronicle a Union victory
orapanlo In the gold market. There was a time
when the success of these openings was largely de
pendent upon the state of the weather—when the
absence of old Sol’s smile was to milliners an omi
nous frown. But under the new order of things
established by the war, shoddy fortunes, and specu
lations In oil, a more auspicious day has dawned
upon the fashlonablo caterers In this department of
female attire. Multitudes, who had formerly only
to choose between a walk and a ride In a rickety
omnibus (both decidedly unpleasant to a lady in the
rain), have attained the luxury of a private car
riage, and our complete net-work of oity railways
has made all points of the city so accessible to all
others, with comparative comfort, regardless of the
weather, that the latter maybe said to have been
superseded, at least so far as regards millinery
openings. We Infer this froa\what took place.yes
terday—the Spring Millinery Opening Day for 1864,
Although the streets were sombre, and the heavens
unpropltious, the ladles thronged the various bon
net emporiums at high noon aB bees beset flower
gardens In June. At the several establishments
of Mis. Nichols, No. 102 South Eighth street;
Mrs. E. Dillon, 333 rad 331 South street;
Miss S. T. Morgan, 408 Arch street; J. P.
Gill A Co., 720 Arch- street, and the Misses
O’Bryan, 110 T Walnut street, there were novelties
exhibited evincing taste and eliciting admiration,
and in many instances orders were given for dupli
cate of the most expensive bonnets displayed. It
was, however, at the leading house In this Hire, the
BetaiT Warerooms of Mosbes. Wood A Cary, No.
726 chestnut street, that the tide of fashion lor the
day reached its flood. The attendance of lady visi
tors during several hours was very large, and the
whole tout ensemble of the opening must have been
in the highest degree satisfactory to the proprietors.
The excellent taste Indicated in their variety of new
Bonnets rad Hats was endorsed by the most accu
rate critics, and, In the matter of trimmings, we
doubt H there has ever been a more successful open
ing In this country. Many of the Bonnets shown
.were superb specimens of the mlllnery art.
The change In the shape of Bonnets has been radi
cal, being little more now. In substance, than avery
small, triangular piece 1 or material, with two corners
drawn down on the sides of the head, In half-hand
kerchief style, rad some light, tasteful trimming
descending ftom the drown, or the place where the
' crown ought to be. The new Spring covering for
itt AhatUtt-moru an ornament for the head
~t w rr- - y—.-, yet their light and
gracelul appearance mSethraaHSHes-JorEraSßaua-'
ness of material. But oh! ye fathers, husbands, and.
members of the sterner Sex generally whoare pri-.
vilsged to Indulge in the luxury of buying bonnets—’
j. a, paying for them—do not flatter your purses
with the mistaken, notion that because the bonnets _
are so small the prices must necessarily be ditto,
nuallty. not quantity, Is the prevailing idea. The
good taste of this Is certainly unimpeachable. The
arrangement of the various styles of bonnets pre
sented by Messrs. W. & G. yesterday rendered their
spacious rooms, for the time being, a gallery of
millinery art, to describe which In detail, would, we
fear, extend this article to the exclusion of much
matter which, though important to the ladies,
is neoessary to the making-up of a dally paper. We
will tbereforecontent ourselves with a brief descrip
tion of a few novelties that may ba regarded as
types of the exhibition: .
No, 1. A white French chip bonnet, one of the
moßt. elegant to the collection, trimmed , with a su
perb bouquet of straw-colored flowers on the crown,
and a fall of real lace, and long ends rib
bon hanging down the bach nearly to the feet, the
color of these flowing ends, or streamers, matching
the ribbons of the bonnet. Over the ribbons, to a
considerable depth, there fell a barb of real laoe,
greatly enriching the effect. The face flowers were
of scarlet and huff, dotted with delicate red berries.
No. 2. A white straw bonnet, trimmed with a band
of green across the orown, and covered om-the bach
with a black yell coiffure, the ends formtog-the
strings, the Inside trimming being of buff roses,
fastened by a knot of green ribbon.
No. 3. A puffed illusion bonnet, ornamented with
pearl heads, and an exquisite bunch of white flow
ers mingled with leaves of fem, the whole being
sprinkled with a shower of pearls.
No. 4. A white French Neapolitan bonnet, orna
mented with a profusion or ooral and guttering
beads of cut glass.
No. 5. A black sllk bonnet covered with a French
straw coiffure, and trimmed with.au elegant scarlet
and black flower—a decided ndvelty.
While we have spoken thus freely, or bonnets
which struok our fanoy as pretty, It must not be
imagined that we did not see any to the exhibition
that struok us as being deoldedly the reverse. We
hope the “ house » will excuse us for not expatiating
more fully upon the merits of the latter.
Weimay remark that to colors, maize or Hght
straw color, together with pearl and green, will
constitute the predominating shades this season.
For early spring a very light straw, poetically do
signaled “ moon-on-the-lake,” will ba much to fa
vor. The ornamentation Is rich and expensive—
steel ornaments, ent glass, coral, real laoe, fringed
ribbon, grasses, and the finest flowers being used
without stint, but to a manner to retain the light
and airy character of the bonnet Itself. The variety
of fact trimmings In the “ opening ” fully sus
tatoed the reputation of Messrs. W. & O. to this pe
culiar line,: and attracted much attention.
We would also add that, to addition to the flue
bonnets above referred to, the house displayed a
good assortment of a less costly character, embra
cing a variety of colored straws, brown and gray
hair, very neat,.for hack and travelling purposes.
In Hats the “opening” was also large and oom
plete, though In these the elegance of trimming
more than the novelty of shape attracted our notice.
The Shapes, however, are varied and pretty, and
wfth their tinsel, to the form of glittering steel and
gHumbead,,- fine laces, flowers, grasses, birds, and
ribbons, are an Improvement upon former seasons.
In point of age, Hats wUI to the main only he worn
by' misses under twelve, ihe present style of bonnet
being quite aS well adapted lor misses over that age
as for ladies. •;
In the Trimming department this house displayed
Its usual super lor assortment of flowers, feathers, ct
cetera, at prices conforming to the current rates of
gold* . _
Thb Dion in the Path.— The Hon In the path
ofGonoral Sherman seems to be something of a
“Bully Bottom” to Ms way of performing Ms role
of the king of beasts. If ho does roar a little loud
he at least fights as gently as a sucking dove, and
he shows a good deal more aptness at running away
than atgivtog or taking hard knocks. The nebs had
