when the fate of their rebellion, for veal
or woe, is within two weeks of final de-

haste, that the rebel papers of Richmond
mock them for towards and fugitives that
will never return. The next result is the
abandonment of Yorktown by Gems. Lee

VIRGINIA ON CoNFIsCATIoN.-Att the
close of the war of the Revolution, the
Virginia House Of Delegates resolved !:
"That coniscation laws, being founded
on legal principles, were strongly dicta-
ted by that principle of common justice
which demands that if virtuous citizens
in defense of their natural rights, risk
their life, liberty and property on their
success, vicious citizens who side with
tyranny and oppression, or cloak them
selves under the mask of neutrality,
should at least hazard their property,
and not enjoy the labors and dangers of
those whose destruction they wished"

This war has been without parallel in
history in many respects-not the least no.
ticable of which is that the Government six
per cent. securities are now at par, and its
3 10 Treasury notes command a handsome
premium. Was there ever an instance in
the history of European nations in which
Government stocks attained anything near
their par value = That the high prices of
or national securities are not due to the in
faton Of the currency, is proved by the fact
that gold commands but trlHing premium.

The PENINSULA OF VIRGINIA. few
words on the topography of this locality
may be rendered necessary by the uncer-
tainty of the position to be taken up by
the retreating rebel army of the Potomac.
The peninsula is the narrowest of against
Yorktown, it not being more than seven
miles in a direct line from the York to
the James rivers. Thence the area grad
ually widens towards the interior. At
Williamsburg, ten miles back of York
town, the peninsula is about dozen miles
wide, and at the mouth of the Chickaho-
miny, ten miiess further on; it is nearly
twenty miles wide. This last named
river rises northwest of Richmond, and
for forty miles runs along nearly parallel
with the James river, at the distance Of
from eight to twelve miles. In this area
woulo seem to be the best ground for the
new rebel lines of defence, if the borders
of the Chickahminy are of good defensive
character They would thus be located
ten or dozen miles from the York river,
from which it would require some time to
transport the materials for attack, while
their right flank would rest on the James
river, which the rebels rely on the Mer-
rimac to close up against our approach.
tits possible, however, that Richmond it
self is the next point designed for rebel
defense. 1t is about sixty miles from
Yorktown, half OF which distance can be
easily traversed by our transports on the
York river.
