(From the Lontl.m Time*, March 4.) Failure of tlieltebelliaa. At the close of the fourth year ot the war, the Federals have gained a victory which will recompense them for many labuis and encourage lliem to pursue with renewed vigor the conquest of the South. Charleston, the cradle of the rebellion, the foeus of secession, the real metropo lis of the Confederacy, has at last suc cumbed to the Federal arms and is in tho possession of a Northern army. Ihis event secni3 not to unexpected, even at the SoutV Tha tone of the Richmond journals indicated that some such catastrophe was at hand. There was an exhortation to resistance which seemed to be inspired rather by apprehen sion than confidence. The South thought perhaps, that Charleston might be saved by a rising of the people of South Caro lina. The event has shown that this judgment was incorrect, and the chief city of the rebellion has fallen as easily as New Orleans or Savannah. On Feb. 13th the Federal army had arrived at Orangeburg, and the Confederate lorccs fell back in the direction of Columbia, the capital of the State. The Federal forces pursued, and in a very short time bad succeeded in occupying this impor tant though not extensive town. Of the actual evacuation of Charleston which followed we have but meagre details. It appeals that the surrender had been ex pected by the Confederates, aud that the more opulent inhabitants of the place had taken away their families and their goods, and letVthe city ready for burn ing. On the night of tho 17th of Feb ruary the pbee was abandoned, and the Federals entered without resistance, two hundred pieces of artillery falling into their power. Part of the Federal troops crossed from James Island in boats and took possession of the city without find ing any opponents, but the upper part of the city had been fired, and nearly (5,000 bales of cotton appeared to have been destroyed. 'Die influence of this victory can hardly be exaggerated. Although the Federals may not gain military ?'!vanta ges by it, although the blockade may not be more effective now that they possess the town than when they controlled the entrance to the harbor, yet the moral ef fect of the capture of this celebrated city cannot but be most powerful on the con. duct of the war. Not only during the four years of the wai. but during the long political struggle which prcceeded it, the people of the North have constantly looked upon Charleston as the metropolis of separatist opinions. It is against Charleston that the most fervent apostles of abolition have inveighed, that the most eloquent preachers of negro rights have harangued. At last the fortune of war has placed the hated city in their power. This third i ate town —for such it would be considered either in England or Amer ica has been indentified with the opin ions of a powerful political class in the old time, and of late years with tho suc cess of an anti-national insurrection It is natural to suppose that w lien the news reached the northern cities that Charles ten had surrendered without striking a blow, they thought that the crowning victory had been granted to their arms.— The breaking of the blockade is at an end as far as regards the chief port of the Confederacy, and tho assurance which was obtained by gaining tho command ot the harbor is made doubly sure by the capture of the city itself. After having captured New Orleans, Savannah and Wilmington the Federals could not have gained a more acceptable prize than the city of Charleston, the taking of which seals their supremacy at sea and imprisons the Confederates within their own territory, to carry on the war from the resources which nature has giv en them. It is not so much, however, the actual loss to the Confederates by the capture of Charleston which is of importance as the proof which the event gives that the pop ulation of the South eastern States arc no longer able to oppose the march of the Federal armies. The advance from Sa vannah to Charleston seems to have been as easy as the march from Atlanta to Sa vannah. The Federals have now sever al armies in the field, large in number, well disciplined, accustomed to war, well supplied with all tho necessar.es of a campaign, and to oppise these the Con federates have only the obstinate courage of their population, who seems resolved to bear every extremity rather thau re turn to their allegiance to the old Repub lic. How, then, shall they continue the struggle? That they are determined to continue it can hardly be doubted. The meeting the other day between President Lincoln aud . r. Seward on the one side, and some Confederate delegates on the other, has had no other result than to make the people of the Southern States more resolute in their .policy. \\ hat. then, is to be tho new plan of defence'! We arc told that the Confederates are ready to abandon the seacoast towns and trust their destinies to the defences of the interior. Undoubtedy this is now their best, and indeed their ouly p dicy Hut whether they will be able to arrest the progress ol the Northern armies by these means is very doubtful. 'I be fed era Is by improving their means of trans port, by gaining a knowledge of the country, and by being able to make their way uuuiolested by the diminished bands of the Confederates, have now the power of penetrating every part of the South ern States. That they will go anywhere, and during their march really hold the country in submission, we must expect during the remaiuder of the war: —Never during the present rebellion hus the Government needed so large a fleet ot' transports as now. Kveryboatot suf ficient capacity is being brought into req uisition that can be obt»M ed. Such is - the draught upon the water transportation appliances of the country, that the usu als channels of trade are being seriously and the price of coal is ma terially enhaneed by renson of the im mense stock beißg bought up by the ag euto of the department for transportation purposes. —Seven of White's guerrillas, who had been depredatingon the Yirgiuiaside of the Potomac, were yesterday captured aw Fair fa* "ourt HOUSR^ i The First Ccesar by the Second AupulOOll. The following is a description of the first Caesar by the second Napoleon, copi ed froui the great work of the Emperor, renently published. To those natural gifts, developed by a brilliant education, were joined physical advantages. His lofty stature, and his finely* moulded and well-proportioned limbs, imparted to hi* person a grace which distingoiahed him from all others. Hi.) eyes were dark, his glance penetra ting, his oomplexion colorless, and his nose straight and somewhat thick. His niouth was small and regular, and the lips, rather lull, gave to the lower part of his lace an expression of kindness, whiie his breadth of forehead indicated the de velopment of the intellectual faculties.— Hie face was full, at least, in his youth ; but in the busts which were made toward the close of his life, his features are thin ner, and bear the traces of fatigue. ■ His voice W33 sonorous and vibrating, his ges ture noble, and an air of dignity pervaded hiswhole person. Hisconstitution, which at first was delicate, grew robust by sober living, and by his habit of exposing him self to the inclemency of the bad wea ther. Accustomed from his youth to manly exercise, he was a bold horsemon, and he supported with ease privations aud fa tigues. Habitually abstemious, his health was not weakened by excess of labor, nor by excess ot pleasure. Nevertheless, on two occasions, once at Cordova and then at Tliapsus, he had a nervous attack ; it was thought to be an epilepsy. Ho paid particular attention to his person, shaved .with care, or had the hairs plucked out; be brought forward Tiristieally his hair to the front o§ his head, and this in his more advanced age served to conceal his bald uess. He was reproached with the affec tation of scratching his head with only one finger for fear of deranging his hair. II is dr ss was arranged with exquisite taste. His gown was generally bordered with the latieiaiu, ornamented with fring es to the hands, and was bound round his loins by a sash loosely knotted—a fashion which distinguished the elegaut aud ef feminate youth of the period. Hut Sylla was not deceived by this show of frivolty, and he was wont to recommend that pe pie should have an eye on that young man with the flowing sash. He had a taste for pictures,statues and gems; and he always wore on his finger, in mem ory of his origin, a ring on which was en graved the figure ot an armed Venus.— I'o sum up. there was found in Caesar physically and morally, two natures which are rarely combined in the same person, lie joined aristocratic fastidiousness of person to the vigorous temperament of the soldier; tho graces of mind to the pro nudity of thought; tie love of uxury and of the arts to a passion for military life in all its simplicity and rudeness In a word, he joined the elegauceof manner which seduces to the energy of character which commands. Such was C;c<ar at tho age of eighteen, when Sylla possessed himself of the Dictatorship. He bad al ready attracted the attention of the Ro mans by his name, his wit, his engaging manners, which were so pleasing to men, and still more so, perhaps, to women. Sherman Joined by Nchallold.

Sheriditii al White House on his way tojoiu <« r,<lit. Front the correspondence of the New York Timis, dated White House, Vir ginia, March 17th, we extract the follow ing account of Sheridan's late raid. He says: For nineteen days Gen. Sheridau has roamed almost at will with his well disciplined troopers throughout that por tion of Virginia north of the James riv er, and, by the exercise of a little strate gy, thwarting all attempts of the enemy to impede his progress or interrupt his his plans, so that the expedition has been fruitful of more substantial results than any that has preceded it. During this period of time the wliole command has been continuously and well supplied with rations obtained from the enemy's storehouses, expecting only the articles ot coffes and sugar. It is true, a certain number of rations were issued to the men at the start, but after the first day's march the soldiers found what they prelcrred to their ordinary rations. Well-cured ba con and hams, sweet, fresh, flour, honey, butter, vegetables, meal, mutton, beef and molasses, were some of the supplies to bo obtaiued almost every day. . As a part of the substantial results may be classed the thorough disabling of about two hundred miles of railway— principally used for supplying the troops defending Richmond with materials of war and provisions—by the destruction of bridges, culverts and the railway track itself. This work never has been done more thoroughly before. Next, and per haps the first in importance, is the com plete destruction of the James River and Kanawha Canal, passing through one of •the most extensive grain growing districts in the world, and also used almost exclu sively to feed Lee's army. So complete ly is this destroyed that years must elapse before it can be repaired again, if at all. Some people, residents near the canal, say that no attempt will be made to re pair this great highway during the exist ing war. The same may be said of the railroads, for the enemy have not the men or material under their command. The expedition has been a success, al so, in the destruction aud use of other public property. In this is included all kinds, because everything practically throughout rebeldoiu belongs to the Gov ernment. The quantity of provisions, grain and forage actually consumed by the troop-, and the negroes who fell in with them along the route, was alone im mense, but the quantity destroyed was much greater. I n materials of war des troyed at one place (Greenwood Station) the loss was estimated by a Confederate officer at 82.000,000. llundredsof hogs heads of leaf tobacco, buildings filled with manufactured tobacco, machinery, cats, cannon, shells bridges, apple-jack aud eotton goto make up a portion of the property destroyed to the value of ma ny millions of dollars, aud isjust soniuch ot' the enemy's capital expended. The column returns to our lines after accomplishing all the work laid out for almost intact. Only four men have been killed in battle; three or lour severely, and half a dozen slightly wounded. One man died from exposure, and one was drowned in the Shenandoah river. The wear and tear of horse flesh necessary lies been great, owing to the bad roads and the continuous service employed without rest; but a large number of horses and mules were captured, and there are only a few dismounted men. The men them selves were never in better spirits, and were never more disposed to risk their their lives for the country, when neccs saVy. JoiinialiHtic ('oiirtcny. The J'ress (Philadelphia) treating of "Journalists and Journalism" in view of a recent diplomatic nomina tion, forcibly says: " It is the misfortune of tho jour nalist tli.it his own inclination makes him a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for those whom he should despise. It is the misfortune of journalism that an influence, which, combined, would be irresistib'e, is wasted and frittered away by inter nal dissensions. The strength and unity of sentiment that should be given to the public welfare is devoted to personal quarrels. This should not be. Them ssion of the press is too high and sacred to be thrown away in absurd controversy. To the world at large, such contests have no interest b yond the interest of the gossipers, and no effect but to bring our profession into cont nipt. What is there in the griefs of Ilecuba that the people should we p ?" —We are not aware that tta con ductors of leading journals in any country but ours have had the bad habit of discussing each other's pir sonal history, peculiarities and phys iognomies, instead of their respec tive positions and arguments. And, while we may have at some times been provoked to retort the personal assaults of our rivals, we have never been reconciled to the system. We all know that they are not the most eminent'lawyers who browbeat and blackguard each other in trying their causes ; aiid the presumption is very strong that those editors who delight in holding each other, up to ridicule and reprobation are not tha shining lights of their profession. We hope to see the day when a journalist who ■uses his pen and his columns to black en the reputations of certain of his cotemporaries will be severely let alone alike by his brother journalists, and by the public.— N.

Serious Accident. 3lr. Allison, who was assisting at a Threshing 31aeliiuc, in his neighbor hood, (in Centre tp.,)was seriously injur ed on Wednesday of last week. Itsceuis that the Machine had choked up, as it is called, Mr. Allison, with his rake,endeav ored to relieve ; t, but the rake becoming entangled with the teeth of the cylinder, was broken into fragments, two of which hit him in the face, one of them cutting the 1 a'l of his eye —permtinently in juring it. Drs. Neyman and Fricken stine were called in.and all that skill and care could do, was, of course, done to im prove his condition. It requires great care to avoid acci dents in the use of machinery. Indeed, after all the care that can be taken, acci dents still happen. Hiiilriiaii ( barters. Last week a friend wrote us'from liar risburg that the Bear creek Railroad bill bad passed both Houses of the Legisla ture, and only awaited the Governor's sig nature to become a law. We have since learned that it is signed, so we can con gratulate our friends in the Northern part of the couuty that they have advanced at least one step further in the right direc tion. We trust they will have no trouble in securing the influence of those whose interest it may be to speedily press the road forward to completion. Our Legislators deserve thanks for their successful endeavors in behalf of this enterprise, promising, as it docs to develop the wealth of one of the "lost pro mising portions of our county, hereto fore undeveloped for want of an outlet by which to reach the market. They also passed a bill for the organi zation of what is called the Connoqucnes sing Valley Railroad, which we believe has become a law project, we have not much knowledge, but from its name we judge it is intended for the benefit of our couuty, also, with so many charters we will surely get some improvements. Baf Our Legislators have returned once more to their constituanoe. While they were still at their duty, we refrained from sa\l ug anything that may seem like eulogy. Indeed on some occasions we took the liberty to disceut from some things that transpired. In this, however, we did not intend to be either captious or dictatorial, but simply to give expression to our opinion—not expecting it to be of a controlling influence, but simply to perform that part iu deciding the action of our representatives which each prticle of matter, however small exercises in controlling th? location and motion of the planet upon which welive—through the influence of attraction. Unlesssome uu forseen emergency, should call them to gether again, their official duties are,per haps complete. In troublesome times like these, when questions of such varied character have been passed upon; when various interests have to be reconciled and even prejudices encountered, it would be vain to hope, that in everything they have been successful—that they bad made no mistakes 1 This much, however, wo are free to say that, from our stand point, it seoms as though they had labored ear nestly to suit the sentiment of the great majority of their constituants, not only so, but that they generally succeeded in doing so. This being the case, we enn bid them welcome home, to the midst of their friends. And for the many favors which we have received at their hands, we return them our sincere thanks. In their absence we felt somewhat lonely by ' their presence we expect to enjoy the as sistance of their Counsel and influence iu the many scenes through which we have all to pass.
