The most honoured and the most trusted of the Confederate leaders, the man who but a few weeks back was appointed Commander in-Chief of the whole armies of the Confederacy, expressly that he might retrieve its fortunes and establish its independence, has laid down his arms. In thus acting he has been faithful to his character and his honour. He fought gallantly while by fighting he could hope to achieve any practical re sult, to hold the capital, to save the army, or to maintain the existence of the State which had confided to him its defence, but when the course of events and the fate of war satisfied him that none of these objects could be served by prolonged resistance, he spared the useless effusion of blood. The respect which he has won from friend and foe will be heightened by this conduct. His military reputation suffers nothing from succumb ing to superior numbers, his patriotism shines the brighter for this evidence that not even the pas sionate chagrin of defeat could induce him to set personal ambition or false pride above the true interests of his country. For it must be kept in view that, in surrender ing, Lra has adopted a course which indicates his opinion of the result of the whole conflict, not merely of the army which he had under his im mediate command. He had, indeed, though ge nereliesimo, no power to direct the laying down the arms of any other than his own forces. But as generalissimo he was bound to have continued personally in the field had his presence anywhere been, in his opinion, of use, even although he could not save the troops with which he was actually present at the moment. And it wu in his power so to con tinue. His army could not escape ORANA WS, for it could only move at the rate of march of in fantry. But even SHERIDAN was only on its flank, and the Confederate Commander-in-Chief and his personal staff might, by riding a few miles ahead in the direction of Lynchburg, have made good his way to join Joussrroxs's army in North Carolina, leaving LONOSTREET to treat with the pursuers for the surrender of the Virginian forces. But LEE did not elect thus to save himself for the purpose of continuing the conflict elsewhere. We can, therefore, only draw the inference that in the judgment of the Commander-in-Chief of the Con federacy its cause is now utterly hopeless. And, in fact, we find that in the negotiations which pre ceded his surrender, in so far as we can gather them from the not very distinct language of the telegram, he was anxious to treat not solely for the object of obtaining terms for a body of troops, but for the object of contributing to the restoration of peace. He was answered by Gearrr that there were no terms of peace possible but those of lay ing down their arms on the part of the armies of the South. And Lea then did lay down his arms. It is obvious that he accepted the proposition his opponent bad stated, and admitted that the time was now come when it was the duty of those who sought peace to cease from a resis tance which could only defer it without altering its ultimate conditions. It is not strange that in this tide of success the thoughts of the North turn to the practical questions involved in the re-establishment of its power at home and the renewed recognition of its unity abroad. The Virginian Legislature is, at the instance of some among its own members, to assemble immediately to consider the restoration of peace and the adjustment of the social ques tions which have grown out of the events of the war. The Louisiana State Government has made a proposal respecting its new consti tution which has afforded Mr. Lracous an oppor tunity of expressing an opinion that no uniform rule should be imposed upon all the States, but that, within the limits the general constitution allows, each should be allowed to adapt its institu tions to its own circumstances. If this sentiment be endorsed by the Legislature, there can be little doubt that the re-entrance of the seceded States into the old Union will be a matter of small diffi culty. To foreign nations Mr. LINCOLN thinks himself already entitled to assume that the rebel lion is over. He notifies to them that if within a reasonable time they do not withdraw the regu lations to which Federal vessels of war are now subjected in their ports, the United States ACCIDENT TO TEL DUCHESS OF BIICCLEIICIL will in its own ports lay the like restrictions We regre ess t helm that *, Needs/ last bee Drees the on their ships.
