Indeed, true, that Harper's Ferry, after
having once come into our hands, was
again possessed by the enemy; but this
solitary instance is hardly an exception,
for Harper's Ferry was not wrested from
us by force, but treacherously surrendered,
aud, moreover, it quickly returned to our
hands, as II to make good the invariable

Now We may account as We please for
these two facts, that the rebels have ueith-

The sure End or the Rebellion.


If there be a man who is still doubtful
about the ultimate fate of this rebellion,
unless be is positively blind, he may read
it unerringly in two simple facts.
The first fact is, that with the exception
of Sumter, the rebels hare nsUer gained a sin
gle position 6y force of arms. All the posi-
tions that came into their possession before
or at the beginning of the war, experienced
that fate simply because there was nobody
to defend them. Their seizure was no mil
itary achievement it was simply Il pedes-
trian exercise. So fell the forts at the
Passses of the Mississippi, Galveston, Mo-
bile, Barrancas and McRae at Pensacola,
Pulaski below Savannah, Pinckney aud
Moultrte Mt ChaFleaton, Macon at Beaufort,
the two forts at Wilmington, the arseuals
at Baton Rouge, Augusta and Fayetteville,
the Navy.Yards at Pensacola and Norfolk,
and every point that fell at all, with the
single exception, as we have said, of Sum
ter and that case only makes the general
fact all the more forcible, inasmuch as it
there required a force OF several thousands
to overcome D lgarelsou Of only eighty, all
told. No other position which had defend.
ers, however few, was taken by the rebels.
The Old Flag has never, to this day, ceased
to lhoAtOver Fort Pickens, the forts at Key
West and the Tortugasi Fortress Monroe
and Fort McHenry, for this good reason,
that their gates did not stand open, and
there were mento manage the cannon with
in. As it began so It has continued. TIE
rebels have gained no territory by fighting.
What they have came to them not by con-
quest, but by the fact that there was no
army to oppose them. From the everglades
of Florida to the chapparal of the Rio
Grande, they do not hold an inch which
they have gained by the sword, They have,
indeed, tried to enlarge their limits by the
sword. They have done their utmost TO
get Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland into
their possession in this way But it has
all been in vain. They have made noI ad-
vance which was not quickly followed bya
retreat, and this, too, In spite Of the fact
that; in the first stage Of the rebellion, they
had the good win and material aid Of
large portion of the people of those States.
Whether We take into vieR the territory
originally covered by secession, or that
which they have struggled 70 attach % il,
1t is equally true that military force has
accomplished nothing for them, 10 any
positive sense, The sword has failed 20
add to what,they originally had; aud what
they originally had, the sword did not give
them. ,5t-lJ 'rES-s1I I-T FoT ,sXef3sf
Our second fact is, that what the Ilb6ls
once lose they never regaiR In nota sin-
gle instance, since the war opened, have
tthey wreste5 back from .us sposiion bl
any account which I've have once carried.

The indian Rope Feat.

The following communication appears in
the London Field of a recent Saturday. II
is signed F. 7. Buckland:
Sir: have been requested to be present
at, and give my opinion on, performances
which hardly know whether TO call feat
of strength or feat of Ingenuity. I was
challenged to tie the performer of this feat
into a chair with rope, in any number of
knots in such manner that be could not
get loose, q -oer afes aid
Accordingly, I presented myself at the
time and place appointed, aud, half sus-
pecting some sleight Of hand trick, pro-
vided myself with several yards of very
strong rope. The performer, an intelligent
and rather good looking young man, sat
himself in a common wooden kitchen chair,
and presented ne with his rope. asked
if be had any objections to my using my
rope. "None whatever" was the reply,
and you may tie me il anyway and
with as tight knots as you peaseY
Having examined the chair 10 see that
all was right and above board, | proceeded
first to pinion the arms of the young man,
who sat down in the chair, pinioning them
"Jack Ketch fashion" behind bis body. |
then dashed them, tied as they were, tight
", with many knots aud twistings, to The
back of the chair. | then tied the two
wrists tightly to- the legs of the chair, pull
ing the ropes, fear, cruelty tigbs, as the
man afterward showed me where | had cut
the skin but he did not complain of this
bit, az belhad offered the challenge
then, by means of double bitches" fas-
teaed each aukIe to the corresponding leg
of the chair, then tied both legs together
finishing of the rope with an attachment
to the back rail or rDe chair. / then tied
up his body, twisting the rope round and
round, aud fastening it wherever could
get chance.
The performer was now, indeed bound,
hand aud foot, aud could hardly move in
any direction whatever. A large linen ex-
tiuguisher was then placed over him, tied
as he was, and and the other spectators
stood round, at little distance, to see that
no collision took place. la four minutes
and a half the performer gave the signal,
the extiuguisher was removed, and there
sat the young man perfectly free and I'M
bound and the ropes at his feel. | had
tied him with seven pieces of rope-the u.s.
uaI number is four-and the seven pieces
of rope lay at his feet, in no way injured OF
cut, except at the places where | had Gu
them off the main piece, and ] had taker
the precaution to mark my own cuts, 80 a:
to know them again.

cy that he must use actual physical strength
in so doing, as be seemed exhausted aud il
profuse perspiration. Perhaps some o
the readers of the Field, who have seen ih,
trick in Iudia, where | believe il Is FIRE
quently performed, may be able to throw
some light on the matter. Iunderstan,

is now engaged at the Cremorne, and tha
