Poor John Bell,

Fl was sad and sorrOwful sight TO witness
the voluntary degradation that John Bell sub
j'cted himself to in accepting the friendship of
the rebel conlederacy. The rebel leaders ac-
ccptcd his homage, but rejected the man.
There is no question that MIR. Bell has been a
most unhappy man since he abandoned the
Union and gave in his adhesion TO secession
He has not Glicd to denounce the management
Of the r chmond coIspiratorS, even while he
has commended their cause But they gaze no
heed to his sugGcs ions, nor dd.tht Y Permit him
10 have any part OF lot in their consultations.
Il is we'll Known, Iiy private accounts, that Mr.
Bell as well as MIR. Breckenridge, has fallen in
to habits of gross drunkcnne S since his ambition
was disappointed in the presidential race.
or late Mr.. Bell has been sufferer in pccu-
mary matters from the events OF the war 1t is
known that directly after the fall OF D,melson.
e1Ic OF our gun-boats proceeded up the Cumber
land TO Clnrksvc, and destroyed The Cunber-
land Iron Works. OF these works JJhn Bell
was the principal owner They were very ex-
tensve, and had been very profitable. Ever
since the war commenced these works lad been
almost entirely devoted to the manufacture OF
cannon. she Is, and other munitions of war for
the Confederate army. Having been thus ap-
propriat,d, Il, the destruction of the works was
entirely ju>tifab!e under the laws of war. OF

Cd yesterday from Tennessee, was received
in the Halls of Congress, as it WIS everywhere,
with the strongest demonstrations of gladncss
1t is regarded by all as preSaging an early ter
mination Of this bio dy desolating, and cause
less war, and the restoration of the Union.
The capture of Fort Douelson and large
army, the evacuation of Bowling Green, the
retreat Of Price in Missouri aud the capture
of a large portion Of bis force, with the cap
ture Imminent, if not already clftcted) of the
important port and city of Savannah, follow
ing immediately upon the victories at 3lill
Spring, Fort Henry, and Roanoke Island, af-
lord satisfactory evidence that the cause oi the
rebellion is hopelcs. The insurrectionary lea
Gers must themselves perceive 1lIat they have
under taken task to which they were unequal,
and Il recent lnaniicS, o of some OF them admits
that the National Government had exhibited
Il degree O, energy and power for which they
were not prepared.
Ii woui,! be unwisc, however, for the Gov
crnmcnt, even in this hour Of gratitude and eX-
uiation, 10 remit any effort for the carly and
total suppression of the rebellion. Senator
WIiL.EY took occasion to remark, in his place
in the Senate yesterday, that rejoicing as he
did at our great victories be would yet assure
the Senate that the contest was Lot cndcd.-
Even if the stronghods of the rebels should be
taken and their armies dispersed. they woud
rally in guerrilla bands and continue the strug
gle; and for the provisional Government which
might he established in the Sccelcd States the
protection Of a large force would be necessary.
Senator Wilson also declared that he should
not consider the rebellion over ill it was fin
ishcd, for an immense territory was yet occu-
pied by the enemy. In fine, there is 30 proba-
bility %lat anything will be done at present
whereby the Federal arm will any where be
weakened or the vigor of the Government rc-
luxed.-Nafonat Lfeiiige"ccf.
