THE DAILY PRESS ON THE SURRENDER
OF LEE.

" The great war," says the Times, "on which
the eyes of the world have been fixed for the last four years
has been brought virtually to a aloes by the surrender of
General Lee with the chief army of the Southern States."
While giving the Confederate army its due mod of praise
in the hour of its miafortuae, the +Tim es does not deny the
Federal pearls end their troops the eredit of agree' achieve'
meet. "Whether the Southerners have or have not fought
better than la former yews there or be so doabt that the Fe-
dente have surpassed all their preceding efforts. Slowly but
surely troy have brought their armies to perfection. If
the lima has not gained in this struggle that mortice
for desperate valour which has been achieved by the Om-
federates, they bar shown a patieone, a fortitude, and as
energy which entitle them to rank among the very
fast of military nations. nay have now sufficiently
shown that the attempt to establish the Southern
Oenfeelerssey must be •b•adend." The Times, Ls
the full glow of the Federal sucesesse, has •
frisadly wed ern for Mr. Seward. "There seems to be
on the part of President Lincoln • desire to conciliate van-
quished fellow-citizens. Under the guidance of Mr.
Seward, who has creditably distinguished himself in the
Cabinet by his moderate counsels, and whose life will, we
trust, be spared at this crisis to the Union, he may by
gentle measures restore tranquillity, and, perhaps, before
his term of °Moe expires, calm in some degree the 1111111106 i.
tir which have been raised by these years of war."
The Mornisy Post rye lees of the aloes of the war
than of the difficulties whisk it believes are about to
appear. "If the Union is to be recoustractri, is slavery
to be abolished? Mr. Lincoln foresees the difficulty,
but doss not venture to suggest a solution." But this
is no► the only or the greatest difficulty with which
the North will have to rioted. "The Confederate
gover•seat, as such, may have ceased to exist,
sod its armies may have beau dissolved, but
there still remain six millions of people whose spirit of
resistance is unbroken, and who posers now • greater aver.
aide from Northern rule than they did mar than four years
ago, when they sprang to arms to assert their independence.
The Federal Government have proved themselves able to
overrun a vast extent of territory, to capture cities, and to
compel armies to capitulate, but they have still before them
• more difficult task than all—that of subduing a brave, •
stubborn, and an intelligent people."
The Mrrninp Herald, more Confederate than the Confe-
derates themselves, appears unwilling to wort the opinion
of General Lee as definite concerning the chances of the
war. " The answer of General Mosby," says the Herald,
" may be the answer given by • hundred period °mend-
ers in the Confederate BMW, There may be, and doubt's*
will be, thousands wbo will scout the idea that the fate
of the army of Virginia should decide that of her
sister states. When we hear the voice of the Caribou and
of Georgia, of Mississippi and Alabama, of Texas and
Western Louisiana, raised in supplication for peace—then,
and not till then, shall we believe that the end is come, and
that the wood war of independence in America is over.'
We h►ve been false to our principles, and neglected our
opportunity. "We have been guilty of a crime as well as
• blunder, and assuredly we or cur children will have to
pay for froth."
The Standard, which has always maintained that the
Southern people would prolong their resistance while they
had a regiment or a fortress left, sow says th►t General
Lee is nut a man to take this view of his duty. "A
thorough-bred soldier, be abhors all unsoldiarly practices,
and would never sanction a war which had ceased to have •
definite military object, and degenerated into a mere en-
deavour to inflict as severe • vengeance as possible among
the conquerors. He accepts the fortune of war, and cur.
renders his army when he is hopelessly beaten as he would
surrender • fortress when defence had become obviously
impossible. As • Christian commander be shrinks from a
battle which would have been virtually the suicide of his
army."

no Advertiser remarks that the Confederate cause
has been crashed ; bat •' it the Southerners have been
vanquished, they have the satisfaction of knowing not only
that they had to fight against overpowering numerical and
Material odds, but that they retire from the coollict amid
the sympathies sad ►dmiratioa of the whole civilised
world."

ACCIDENT AT THE WINDSOR STFEPLICHASYS.—
Oa Saturday afternoon a serious accident occurred during ,
the steeplechase on the racecourse at Spike', near the ,
cavalry barracks on the outskirts of Windsor. Amon the ,
homes which started for the Military Sweepstakes '
, the
third event of the day, was Major Wombwells (12th ,
Lasoers) Bell's Life, • well-known horse, the winner of ,
several steeplechase, and usually a great favourite at the
Windsor meeting. Captain Rowley, of the 2nd Life
Guards, one of the stewards, and au experienced horseman,
rode Bell's Life in this nee, and it would seem that all
went on well till • small brook running from the side of the
Osboroe-road was approached. The stream is Teri narrow,
and is, in fact, nothing but a ditch, though the jump pre-
sents some rather awkward features. It WORM appear
that Bell'. Life had made the jump and cleared the brook,
but attire the leap the hone tell deed, throwing °opts=
Rowley with great force to the ground and falling partly
upon the stunned rider. Bell's Life being thus killed upon
the spot, Captain Rowley, who had suffered severely from
the violence of the aucusaion, was picked up in an insen-
sible condition and removed to the residence of Colonel de
Los, at Queen's-villas, only • few yards of the scene of
the occurrence, and where he war attended to by Dr.
Karin, who happened to be present. Although much
shaken, it is believed that Captain Rowley has not received
any serious injuries, and in the course of the again he was
enabled to proceed to Loudon.
