The Rebel Losses.

From the rebel account Of The recent battles,
which we print this week, il will be seen
that their losses have been terrific. loss Of
eight thousand men in a division consisting Of
fourteen Thousand, 10 truly appalling. This
single fact. more than anything else that could
be said, sufficiently shows tho fury with which
both sides fought 10 the battles. They were
struggles 10 which all were 10 earnest most in
tenseIy. We cannot estimate the effect of
these fearful losses upon the rebels without
knowing the numbers of their army, respecting
which the statements seem ell like mere
gussses. What few towns still remain ia the
hands OF the rebels in Vifginis will now be
silled With rebel sick and wounded soldiers
aud no doubt many more will be scattered over
the interior of Georges. South Csrolina and

Our check at Richmond will give fresh |
as the news Of i, reaches Europe. we shall hear
that noV England and France will certainly
recognize the Southern Contederacy, aud will
insist that the war must end.
We are not prepared to deny the possibility
Of their taking some such action. The oppor.
tuniiy is tempting. The provocaiion seems in.
deed somewhat strong The tenor of our talk
has led them to believe that we based all our
hope of crushing the rebslliOn on the defeat of
the rebel army at Richmond. Thus far we
have failed to accomplish that result and they
will be very likely to say they are net bound 10
give Us another trial. Perhaps they are not
though they have taken special pains to have
il understood that if the rebels were defeated
they would not consider that decisive. although
defeat would annihilais the last of their armies
in the field.
But We trust our Government will lose no
time in responding to auy intimstion Of this
kind, from either or both the powers concerned
by a very prompt and persmpt0sy protest.
What shape II should take will OF course de
pend on the form Of the menace. Bss any a.
tempt on shsir part to impose force on our man
