The War End by Spring.


The New York Herald thinks the war
can easily be ended by next spring. 1t
says:
In order to make sure of the desired re.
suit our army will not take tho offensive
till it is fully recruited, and the six hun
dred thousand new troops swell it to q
million by the first of November next
By the same time the iron.clad gun.boats
will have been finished, and the mailed
fleet will number some fifty vessels, suf-
ficient to capture Charleston, Savannah,
and every port on the Southern Seabord,
during the winter months, when such op-
erations are more practicable, in conse-
quence of the milder temperature These
invincibie vessels moreover, can penetrate
the interior of the country by the water
courses and aid the movements of our
armies in the Gulf State. The armies put
in m otion by the first will sweep in such
overwhelming force over Virginia and
the entire South that effective resistance
will be impossible, and the rebel forces
will be all surrounded and captured or
disorganized and dispersed, SO that by the
middle of January the rebellion will have
received its death blow. and the republic
will have vindicated its title of zone aud
indivsible."

The EXEMPTION Bill.

consequence. will carry degree of talent.

very much needed. Printers at work on
papers having 500 bona. tide subscribers, are
exempt. Some of our brethren of the
press are toting on rather extravagantly
about the non-exemption of editors. For
ourself we are not very much distressed
about it. Having already realized a stu
pendous fortune at the business, we are
ready to abdicate and give "any other
man. a chance to grow rich. So fall
into ranks, boys, and no shutting.

Killing Yankees With stones.

Atthe late battle Of Manassas, North
Carolina regiment, having exhausted it's
ammunition, took to pelting the Yam
KEGS with stones. Having an advanta-
geous elevated position, they actually
held the yandals at bay, killing and
wounding considerable numbers, till re-
lief came.

circumstance as follows:

The NeWa.

From Cumberland Gap, we have the
gratifying intelligence that that strong
hold has certainly been evacuated by the
Yankees. and is now occupied by the
Confederates. Gen. (Yankee) Morpan's
forces left the Gap on the 18th, after
destroying nearly all their stores, and
blasting few rocks in the road to check
pursuit. Gen. Stevenson's advance ar
rived about three hours after the IKE
daddlers left. md at last advices was in
hot pursuit, with fair prospect of either
capturing or demoralizing them so as to
unfit them for any further depredations
in this direction. Three hundred sick
were left at the Gap. They also spiked
and left behind eight seige and four Par.
rot guns. So fades away the last linger.
ing hope, long drawn out, Of the de.
luded drcamers Of East Tennessee.
Z Old Stonewall, as usual, has been play
ing thunder with the "Young Napolean's"
plans and calculations for the defence of
the Capital" By movement which
only Gen. Jackson could execute, he very
unexpectedly appeared at Harper's Fer
ry, and after a short engagement, the
Yankee commander, Brig. Gen. White,
surrendered. The fruits of this brilliant
victory consists of 200 prisoners, an
equal number of small arms, 70 pieces of
artillery, about 200 wagons, and large
amount of camp and garrison equippage
Jackson's loss is reported at three killed
and forty wounded.
OF the later fights and movements of
our army East, reports are somewhat
contradictory. The Lynchburg papers of
Tuesday state that our army had re-cross-
ed the Potomac and was no longer on the
soil OF Maryland. Another report says
p Gen. Jackson had subsequently, entered
Maryland again and cut division Of the
enemy to pieces.
Gen. Bragg is reported to have had an
engagement with the enemy at Num-
louisville, Kentucky, and to have cap
tured between four and five thousand
Federals. Gen. Bragg seems to be mov-
ing in the direction of Louisville.
Reports are contradictory as to the
whereabouts Of Buel. The latest inteili.
gible account left him still at Nashville.
Gen. Price has had fight with Rosen.
cranz, an account of which will be found
among the kilograms.
According to the Northern papers the
whole North is wild with Joy over what
they are pleased to term the Propulsion
of the rebels from the soil of Maryland"
At Harrisburg the people were delirious
with exultation at the deliverance from
threatened capture. Maryland, my Ma
ryland," does not seem to have respond
ed as enthusiastically to the advance for
her relief as had been anticipated by our
government.
We have nothing of large local impor-
lance this week. The excitement about
enrolling the Conscripts is. dying away,
and, consequently, volunteering is not
very brisk. Breadstuffs, and everything
in the provision line, are at famine prices,
with an upward tendency.
