The French Minister at Washington has
been on visit to Richmond for what pur-
pose is not known outside of purely diplo-
matte circles. But he reports that the South
ern leaders scott the idea of accepting COM
promise. OF course they do. They embarked
in the rebellion under a pledge of active
northern support, which they have failed to
receive. All they have, and all they hope for,
they have placed in peril. Their pride and
honor alike forbid tkem to retrace their steps
They mean either to win or perish in the
attempt.
1t will be well for the country when the
Northern sympathizers with the traitors actu-
ally learn that compromise is impossible. The
war must necessarily be fought out, and one
or the other side be driven to the wall.

In regard to the surrender of Fort Macon,
we have the following from a Wilmington
journal: I'VE have just learned that the fire
upon the fort was opened at a quarter before
six o'clock on Friday morning, and that the
engagement between the fort and the Union
batteries was kept up until seven O'Clock that
evening, when the fort became wholly unten-
able and WAS surrendered. All the guns
inside the fort, opposite to the side attacked,
were dismounted, and all but three of the
guns bearing upon the enemy's batteries,
were also dsmounted. The enemy'S central
batteries of preaching guns were within l,IOO
yards of the fort )" Gen. Wool telegraphs
from Fortress Monroe as follows: "Capt. Wor-
den, of the Navy, with dispatches from Gen.
Burnside, has just arrived. He reports Fort
Macon taken after eleven hours 'bombardment.
Four hundred prisoners were taken. Col.
White, late of the Ordnance Department,
commands Fort Ma :on. Loss on our side,
one killed and eleven wounded.

YORKTOWN EVACUATED.

Yesterday afternoon we received DIS
patch from the Supervisor of Telegraphs
at Fortress Monroe, announcing that
Yorktown was evacuated on Saturday
night, aud that they left large amount
Of cquipage, which they could not dstroy
Tor fear of being seen. A subsequent
dispatch from Geo Mcclellan, which, as
we'll as the first, We published yesterday
in an extra edition, says 1--WE have the
ramparts, with guns ammunition and
camp equipage. We hold the entire line
OF the works, which the engineers report
to be very strong" Gen. Mcclellan fur
ther reports that the whole Of his cavalry
force and horse artillery are ln pursuit J;
that our gunboats have gone up York
River, and that Franklin's division has
also been moved up the river, with as
many more troops as transports could be
found to convey. Our forces have also
taken Gloucester. and to this is added a
promise By the Commanding General that
he will push the enemy to the wall. A
later dispatch says the evacuation COM
menced on Thursday last, the Rebels
fearing that with the aid of the river feet
our forces might get into their rear and
thus cut off all means of retreat This
dispatch sets down the number OF guns
captured at IS.

Southern Desperation.

The sarest sign is given Of the hopeless
ness of, a cause when its adherents resort to
desperate means for the accomplishment Of a
purpose. The Rebels have been for some
months past il the greatest frenzy from the
fact being practically demonstrated that they
could not save their crops and immovable
wealth from falling into tho hands of the
UntonistS-as our army adyances-by any
other means than their destruction. Cotton
has been burned, vessels sunk, homesteads
destroyed, towns sacked, and now they are
cutting the levee along the Mississippi, inun-
dating the country aud destroying everything
that could not be removed. The people object
to this practice but as they are under the con-
troll of few crazy military leaders and the
mob-and the latter having no property to
lose care nothing for the property of others
they are powerless to prevent. Such is the
fruit of treason.

The Retiring Rebels

The Rebels in lower Virginia during
Saturday night hastily evacuated their
strong line of fOrti6cations at Yorktown
retreaiing up the Peninsula toward Rich,
mond OF course, they carried of many
of their gups and stores, but left nun
ber of heavy siege pieces, with a cousid
erable amount of camp equipage and ord,
nance stores We presume they have
retreated to q new and stronger line of
defeuses, which they have been construct
ing while Gen. VI M'Clelian was preparing
to take that before which he had set
down. We wish they had staid and tried
conclusions at Yorktown, though the ret
rograde movement must tend 10 demoral.
ize their rank aud file, beside depicting
their Scantv stores. Gen. Mcclellan
would probably have opened fire on them
this morning had they remained. He
will follow them up steadily, and bring
them to a speedy issue If possible; and
1t may be that they will find an unexpect-
ed obstable in the way of their retreat III

never landed from the transports, was
ready to start in immediate pur. nit. and
was moved at once by Gen. Mcclellan

We have the authority Of the War

that Beauregard is evacnatiug Curinth

his present line of defense with Memp phis
and Arkansas to Gen. Halleck and,
while We 90 not decide that he will or will
not try it. would be confession that his
cause is hopeless.
The last pretensc Of the Rebel organs
has been that, though we were successful
ON the Seacoast and the great rivers BY
means of our guuboats, they were our
masters on 6Tm, dry land. But DraneS.

bravely fought, contributed little or moth

us from rout The first day, but did not
help win lhe Union triumph of Monday.

Corinth, and jeff Davis runs from behind
his lntrenchnents at Yorktown, \ how will
it be possible to make the great bouy of
