The success of the Government army the
past week has been signal; the rebels are hard
pressed on all sides; Norfolk has been taken
from them, and they have been compelled to
blow up their iron clad steamer Nerrimsc, and
our vessels are now Up James river making rap
id strides towards Richmond, in connection with
an immense land force under Gen. Mcclellan

our paper. At the last accounts the feet was
moving on Mobile. Charleston and Savannah
can be taken at any time, a. both places are
now completely in our power, and the capture Of
them is being delayed only, to keep the rebel
forces, holding them, from concentrating at
other points. The achievements performed by
the Government forces already exceed the ex.
pectations OF the people of the loyal States, and
instead of being frantic With joy, A. might have
been expected, they are amazed and astonished
whilst the rebels are terrified and dsmoralized
and rendered wholly incapable of making . sue.
cessful stand at any point This cheering state
Of things has most happy influence on all
classes, and there is, ~ q necessary consequence
an increased confidence among merchants, bank
ers and manufacturers, who look forward to .
time Of great prosperity, in the Northern States
which will commence as soon - the rebellion is
suppressed
The weather has become dry and warm, the
thermometer, during the daytime, being as high
as eighty at noon the last three or four days
Spring work with farmers has been prosecuted
with great vigor, aud an immense breadth Of
land soWn, the last three weeks, with oats and
spring wheat. The ground has baked some,
owing to the previous rains, aud some rain is
now needed to facilitate corn planting. The
fears of short crops Of Spring wheat and oats
i'm Anr To lata
spring-have been dissipated, and no deficiency
in the crops, for that cause, 10 now feared. The
scarcity OF labor in tie agricultural districts,
owing to the large number Of men in the army,
will no doubt result in diminished breadth of
land being planted with corn, more especially,
q the price 10 now 20 low; but good supply Of
it will be in the country, nevertheless, should the
season prove favorable as . moderate crop,
with the quantity of the crop Of 1851 still in
the hands of the farmers, will make tho whole
supply full average one. The prospects of a
large fruit crop we're never better, probably,
there having been no frost to injure the buds. -
Fall wheat looks wonderfully we'll in all the
States, and should this month and the early
part of June be moderately dry, there seems to
be no doubt that the crop will be large one. The
only danger is that it will grow too rank and
rapidly, should the weather be Of forcing
character.
