The following is from. the last issue Of the
New York IndepeRdeHt: et
"Just as We are going to press, we receive
most important piece OF information from re-
liable source II ia nothing less than the express
ed conuiction of Mr.. Seioard that the Government
cannot succeed in this sOar; that the Contederacy
,vin probably be recognized By the European Posc-
ers and that peace UiH be e result in sirty days.
In view of this, Mr.. Thurlow Weed has been
sent to England, apd if he shall find the British
Ministry determined to recognize the Confeder.

once for peace 'I' ~
at was to pave the way for this that che dis
couraging seport OF Adjutant General Thomas
was allowed to be published. Wehave no space
at this late hour to remark on this information,
except to say that, If entirely correct (aewe are
positively assured), it will simply break down
the Administration and destroy the country"
There are, to say the least, strong probabili'
ties in favor of the correctness OF this nforfna-
ton. That q majority of the members OF the
| Administration, the President included, have
looked upon the termination Of our difficulties
by the way suggested, as the one imperatively
indicated BY the circumstances, there are many
reasons to believe. Itis the only one that is in
any way consistent with the policy which the
Administration has pursued; and is doubtless
the foundation Of the often-repeated prediction
of Me. Seward of speedy close OF. the war, !.
There are also Indications that this state Of
feeling has been, In some way, communicated
Southwardly, andin the published and unpub-
| lished conversations of leading Southern men,
| the prevalence of the idea of a speedily-coIn-
ing paci6catiop, by q recognition Of the inde-
pendence of the Confederacy, Is to be perceiy.

By means not easily to be discussed, the pub.
lie mind there has been preparing for 1T; and
the indisposition Of the Coniederates TO push
hostilities to forcble issue in Missouri, has
been by some, attributed to its influence. That
this has had something 10 do with the proceed
ings against Gen. Fremont is, to say the least,
probable. 90 sta- 80
What effect this policy will have upon the
Administration or the country Is matter upon
which there will be differences of opinion. II

Mr.. Lincoln will doubtless live out bis term of
Office in tho Presidential chair; and whether
or not the country will be destroyed, will depend
upon the question in whAswil consist the de-
struction Of the country. We have arrived at
that condition when the question, what is expe-
dent, has become almost as pressing as the
question, what is right; and when II becomes q
matter of doubt whether the South can be sub

not, what then is to be done2 utA 'a1a
We take the above from the Cincinnati Press
of Saturday last Nov. 0. Mr.. HENRY WARD
BEzCHrR does not saylwho ishis "reliable" an
thor, but it is fair to presume that he would not
make this ststement, gnless it was from such
source as lead him 10 believe there was some
truth in it. s5,p,44 81 est -
We have long beeniof the opinion that there
were men in the Cabinet, who favor the recogni-
tion of the Southern COnfederacy, or, in other
words, were anxious to cut loose from the slave
States. They used their influence to, and did
defeat every measure Of compromise last win
ter, which would have prevented dissolution
Of the Union and the war. They also beliey-
ed that it was impossible to save the Union by
a war; Time will prove whether they were
right. AS the Independent was selected by Mr..
SEWARD for the publication of the laws, there
would appear to be some grounds for this state
