A SPEEDY TERMINATION OF THE VAR
May we not look for a speedy terminal ion Of
the war: Events are accumulating with won.
derful rapidity, and history is burdened with
great deeds We shout over every single
success but it is only when we look at the
whole field that we see the progress we have
made, and the advantages Of our position. In
Eastern Virginia, we have seen the great army
of the traitors collected and cOncentra ted,
draining the resources of the entire Coneder-
acy by the magnitude Of its forces and the ne
cessities of the camp and field. Now it is rap
idly crumbEng away, regiment after reg inert
laying down their arms, or returning home in
response to more urgent and incessant de
mands from the menaced Cotton States
New Orleans is on drill; Savannah citizens are
flying in terror; Charleston blusters and swears,
aud talks fustian; and in Eastern Tennessee
the heart Of the loyal men is throbbing brave
ly for the Union. Yancey despairs, and
writes gloomy letters from Paris; and through
out the South there is one continued wall Of
misery and despair. Commerce has perished;
industry is paralyzed for the crops, there is
no market; for enterprise and ability, 10 in
ducement and no reward. What u terrible
future awaits them! a future WHICH success can
| only make more fearful. In the North all i:
confidence and prosperity, and VICTORY come,

An official dispatch from Chinotcague inlet
Virginia, shows that the U. $. Steamer Louis
lana has been actively at work. a party from
that vessel, together with five volunteers from
the island, went OH an expedition, and pro
ceeding up the creek mile or two, they found
and destroyed schooner and two sloops. The
party leff the Louisiana in three bouts at 10
O'Clock at night on the 9th ult., and returned
at o'clock the next morning-all well. The
whole STAIR appears to have been conducted
with so much system and discretion that the
enemy, said TO be 300 strong in and about
Horntown, was unconscious of the presence Of
our expedition.

A PARAI4EI. Casa writer in the New

Hon. Henry Laurcns, a commissioner from

Holland, was passenger on board a Dutch
vessel, laden with tobacco. The vessel was

fell in with her near the American coast, and
Mr.. Laurens was taken of, conveyed TO Lon.

OF October, 1850. Holland was al Il at time
in a state Of neutrality as between Great Brit

Captain Kettle, Of the Ecstal was sustained
and followed by rapid promotion. The case
Almost identical in circumstances with that OF

The SOUTHERN PANIc.-An agent Of George
Peabody, the celebrated London Banker, has
just returned from the South, having left Rich
mond on Thursday last. He was at Savan'
nah when the dead and wounded of the rebel
army were brought from Beaufort, and de
scribes the CONSERVATION among the rebels as
extreme Every one was prohibited from
leaving Savannah, but this did not prevent an
extensive departure of citizens; the rebels
thought their Eortifcatioas at Beaufort to be
impregnable, and could not imagine but that
some new style of projectile had been used by
the Yankees to drive them from their strong
holds.
The population all along the seaboard are
described being in a state of great fear and
suspense, having heard that the feet was pass

what point it would strike Numbers Of the
State regiments had been ordered home by the
State Governments, but the Confederate au-
thoritieS were unwilling that they should leave

arise in consequence. Three ofthe South Car

The Richmond papers announce that the
rebel Congress Las passed an act removing
their Capital from that city to Nashville, Ten
nessee. This is an ominous move. II clearly
indicates apprehension on their part hat
Richmond s not safe as an abiding place for
the leaders of the rebellion, and it is also more
than probable that recent movements on the
Southern coast and at Fortress Monroe. have
made them arprehcnsiye that if they remain
there too long their retreat 10 the Cotton
States may be cut of entirely. Tree different

The war has produced extraordinary results
in the social relations of some of our people,
especially in the Border Slave States. In
many instances father Is arrayed against son,
and brother against brother. Geo. D. Prem
tice, the able and devoted Union Editor of the
Louisville Journal, has a son ia the rebel army
under Ben. Mccullough, and his brother-in-
law, Calhoun Benham, of California, has just
been arrested and sent to Fort Warren for trea-
son-the venera bic and patriotic John J.

Union men in the country, has one son a Gen
eral in the rebel army, another Colonel in
the Union army-the distinguished Presbyte-

A PREDICTION FCLF1ILED.-A correspOn-

"On his memorable journey home from

oils, know your man Breckenridge better
than you do yourselves. Mark my word, sir;
within gear from this time j Ohm G. Bgeck-

The result shows how thoroughly Mr. Douglas
did know his.former friend. The year is but
half passed since the prediction was made, and
today Mr.. BreekiRridSe holds a commission as
