Ger, to have the armies dilIy daily along till
the country is exhausted and willing to ac-
cept almost anything MS a termination of
the war. even an acknowledgement of the
right of secession and the independence of
The rebeliiOus States. Ifthey had the pow
sr to carry it through Congress, it would
bot be in session week till proposition
would e.mads to arrange with the rebel
States some sort of compromise by which
they should. have all their rights, the
right Of secession included. Perhaps there
would be a restoration of the Union AS it
was, by the United States assuming the
debts of the rebellion, and making good all
the Confederate scrip counterfeit as we'll
as geuuine) or by mutual reputation of
all the debts of both, or some other patch
ed up compromise equally infamous and
fisgraoetnl. Something like these we know
from the declarations of the leaders of this
self styled Democratic party to be their
purposes. We know by the Southern news
papers that the rebels SO understand them,
aud on them build great hopes of their
own ultimate success.
There never was less real occasion to
think of a surrender than now. There is
not the least necessity for even change
of base. The measures of Congress aud of
the Executive have put the country upon
such war footing as it has never stood on
before. The army is larger than ever be-
fore, better drilled and better equipped /;
and there is a fire in the rear of the rebel
lion threatened which fills it with the ut
most alarm. All that is wanting is one
grand, general advance of our legions be-
fore they are bound by winter, to enable
them to winter in the heart of the rebel
territory. Such an advance we believe is
impending.
Something Important In the wind.
1t is eODjectured that the following which
appears in the Washington despatch

late to either tho removal of Halleck or
Mcclellan.
An interview of Gen. Halleek o.day
with the President in the presence of the
Secretary of War is significant of the
events forsshadowed in our dispatches OF
last week, and which cannot much longer
be delayed.
The anxiety prevailing in official circles
is intense. All who are in the least behind
the scene, know clearly enough that mat
tiers cannot long continue in their present
shape. The constituted authorities must
either surrender or enforce their orders
The air is densely charged with rumors;
and each journalist here is sort of light
ming conductor toward which all the sparks
of Intelligence and guess-work converge.
It is believed that we will have a thunder
| storm before many days-or, at least, one
vivid and powerful fash-which. striking d
lofty peak, will illuminate many dark spots
in our recent history, aud do much TO give
US healthier, more elastic and less oppres-
sive atmosphere. fittings cannot go on
as they are" is everywhere the cry. "Tbe
country cannot stand it-cost what it may
the matter must be settled at once" These
are the perplexed utterances which We now
hear on all sides-each speaker seeming &c
find relief in the knowledge that onr entan
clements have reached crisis which mus
be decisively and promptly met.
