The splendid success of the plans of Gen.
Mcclellan has put new phase upon the
rebellion, and whilst we cannot yet discern
the probable issue of the war, we can dis
tinctly see that the Secession leaders will eli
ther have to change their programme, or dis
band their army and succumb to the Federal
power. That they will hardly do. the latter,
is s'indicated by the fact that they arc daily
destroying millions Of dollars worth of prop
erty, blowing up their vessels and even burn
ing sope of their towns. This would seem
Ito show that they are desperate and intend
really '".to die in the last ditch" We be-
.neye,, therefore, that it is their design to
