REBEL BoSBAsr-A few days ago we re-
ceived and published bombastic reply to the
demand Of Commodore Farragut for the sur
render Of New Orleans, signed by one John
Monroe, Mayor, declaring that he would never
surrender the great Crescent City to parcel Of
Yankees. SButths next news we heard was that
the magnificent city Of the South was actually
held in subsection and occupation by single
battalion of United States marines. Wspublish-
ed yesterday an account Of . communication
from General Lawton to the City Council Of
Savannah, declaring that he would never sur.
render the city--a heroic resolution, which we
are told the City Fathers avowed their deter
mination to sustain. By parity Of reasoning,
then, we conclude that we shall soon hear Of
the surrender Of Savannah.

The REpossEssroN OF Our FoRTs.-We pub
lished yesterday highly graphic account of
the capture of Fort Macon, which formed an
other interesting chapter in the history Of our
progress towards regaining possession OF the
forts and defences which were seized by the
rebels at the opening of the war. Thore re-
main now in the hands of the enemy only two
forts Of the least Importance to be taken--Fort
Morgan, at the entrance to Mobile, and Fort
Sumter, in Charleston harbor. There is an in
significant fort at Wilmington, and another at
Galveston, it is true; but they are of no &C.
count, and will, Of course, ultimately fall, and
then our government will have regained all
the coast defences.
The next step on the part Of our military
and naval officers will, no doubt, be to follow
the example Of Commodore Farragut, at Baton
Rouge, and repossess themselves Of ell the
government arsenals.

A GENERAL OF THE Coon OLD TMEs-Fre-
monts operations in Western Virginia remind
one Of those days Of cautious strategy when
military leaders only acted on precedent, and
studied whole campaigns before venturing
move. Those were the times when certain
King Of France gained an enduring reputation
in another mountain department. by his skilful
hillside manoeuvrss. With only ten thousand
less troops than that royal commander pos.
sessed. Fremont bids fair to win equal fame.
His head must indeed be occupied with mag
nifcent strategic combinations when he allows
the loyal people of Western Virginia and East
ern Tennessee to be scourged by small bodies
of bushwhackers and guerillas, when he could
so easily put an end to their suferings With
fourth part of the force which he has at his
disposal, General Mitchell would, ere this,
have cleared both districts Of the enemy. The
great military plans with which Fremonts
head is filed do not, however, leave him
leisure to occupy himself with such unimpor-
tant features Of the campaign. If we only wait
long enough we shall no doubt witness some
important results from his military cogitations.
But, in the meantime, is there not danger
that the war will come to an endg

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CAsEs.-Certain per.
sons regard it as revo lutionary for the House
TO express any opinion upon the manner in
which the war is carried on, or the objects to
be accomplished by it, 1t is noticeable that
they are the same persons who rel ,iced so
greatly at the passage by tho House, at the
extra session, Of Mr.. Crittenden's resolutions
disclsiming any purpose to interfere with local
institutions. 1t was then the properest thing
in the world for the House to dictate the policy
Of the war Now, 1t is revolutionary. The
apprehea ason is, that, in the changed condition
Of affairs, the House might prescribe differ
ent policy. Therefore, they must hold their
peace, or be branded as invaders Of llis CON-
stitutional prerogatives Of the President. Why
was not that thought o, when Mr.. Crittenden
was pushing his resolutions through?
IL it was competent Tor the House to say
that it did not contemplate Interference with
slavery in the Carolinas, while they were States
in the Union, why is 1t not now competent for
the House to soy, If 1t chooses to say SO, that
it 'ciu interfere with slavery in the Carolinas
which are no longer States in the Union, OF
entitled to any constitutional rights, but enc
mics fagrante bello'
Does the power Of the House to expires
opinions depend upon the character of tn,
opinions which 1t expresses?
