Tho pressure of want and misery throughout
tho Confederacy is fearful. The rich are quite
generally reduced to the bare necessaries OF
life. while the poor are everywhere in rags and
most of them suffering for food. Corn and
fresh pork have long been their chief resources;
the pork begins to fail; while the scarcity OF
salt has prevented much preparation Of cured
meats for the warmer season already opening
on the Gulf The enlistments Of their best
regiments are beginning to expire, within q
few weeks fifty Thousand of their veterans will
act their faces homeward; and no hundred
thousand raw leves can make good their
places. As to the conscription now proceeding
in some States and threatened in others, We
do not believe that the men it will send into
the field will be worth tho inevitable cost OF
arming and supporting them. In the defense
of strong position, the militia Of the vlcinsge
may be Of some value; but in answering the
varied requirements Of campaign they will

that they have been msled. In every county.
there are white men who dare not speak out,
but who secretly pray for the triumphant ad'

like the capture or dispersion Of the rebel
army at Columbus, would convince Thousands

THE RKCONQUKsT OF MEXICO.

The news from Mexico which NO publish
this morning promises but little for the early
fuGlnent Of Gen. Gassett's intention to " re.
formerly his brethren. The expected sympa.
thizers appear 10 DO slow In making their
nppearaDce-if, indeed, they exist ut all. And
although the Minister Plenipotentiary Of Spain
His E1cellency Gen. Prm-has taken early
occasion to congratulate his soldiers on the
glorious victory they have achievcd--the sum
Of the achievement thus far, 10 neither more
nor less than that previously rcported-the &C.
cupation Of San Juan dUloa without loss
either of life or blood. Aud. indeed, if the
Minister'S words could, by any stretch of
courtesy be supposed to hive meaning, there
nesd como of this invasion nothing that fails to
comport with peace, friendship. and the
best OF good will. Says Gen. Prim, with
patr0nizing tenderness: elf their (thc

" their dissenslons divide aud pcrturb
I" them, uono the less. therefore, deserve
"they the consideration Of nations, which.
" through good fortune. enjoy peace and stable

" land in which we find ourselves" Afraid,
however, that these generous reflections, and
the accompanying advice TO the soldiers, may
be insufficient ASSURANCE Of his sympathy, the
General further apoStrophses thus: Behold,
"ye who judge US {" invaders and rulers.
" that We come not hero with tho spirit OF

" the good name Of our country, as mobiles
" aud gentlemen, to demand PREPARATION for

TIKI TURNING POINT.

/ The Nations destiny visbly hangs on the
events of the next few weeks. On every side,
the armies Of the Republic are in motion, OF
wait but for favoriDg weather and roads to
advance upon the strongholds of the rebellion.
For good or evil, the long and sckening ordeal
Of delay Of waiting to get ready, il ended.
We are either about to beat the rebels, or the
world will conclude that we can never beat
them, and act accordingly. If our armies now
advancing shall generally be stopped or beaten
back, France, England, and Spain will make
haste to recognize Jeh.'s Confederacy as an
independent power. That recognition does not
necessarily involve an active and positive inter-
vention TO our prejudice; but there Gun be
little doubt that the animus which dictates the
recognition will impel the Western Powers to
extend still further and more palpable aid to
the rebellion. Union victories-prompt signal,
decisye-can alone prevent that foreign inter-
vention on which oil the hopes Of the traitors
are slaked, aud for which they have fawned
and ,chemed and lied with such desperate as
siduity.
One sentence, promptly spoken, might even
yet discomfort all their Vaccinations. Could
our Government but rise TO the sltitute imper-
atvely demanded by the crisis, and say,
Slavery is hereby abolished throughout the
United States with reasonable compensation
" to loyal Shareholders alone" tho occupation
of the rebel emissaries in Europe would be a.
al end. Even Louis Napoleon does not favor
q rebellion openly, unequiSocally in tho inter.
est Of Human Bondage. Palmerston dare not
even think Of such q complication. Let our Gov.
ernment tomorrow clearly identify the cause
Of the Union with that Of Impartial Freedom,
and all the gold aud all the craft of the traitors
could not win for them tho cOuntenauce Of IA
sinsle foreign State but Dahomey. Their allies
and converts in Europe would shrink In an
hour into q party neither larger nor more
respectable than if composed Of the inmates Of
the several State Prisons. A month hence may
for this purpose be too late; but to-day 10 not.
Alas that we should fater and hesitate Willis
the sands of destiny are SO rapidly running out !
We mau beat the rebels without Emancpa-
tons; but If 50 it must be sOoD. We must
have accomplished facts ready to oppose "

ARREST OF GEN. STONE.

Each day now brings forth some new testi
mcny to tho vigor and stern principle which
mark the administration Of the War Depart
ment. The arrest Of Gen. Stone, which wn'
made on Sunday morning, while it must sub
due men to gravity, will also give them
courage and a strong faith, which will react
most beautifully upon the Government.
The charges upon which Gen. Stone Is now
in confinement at Fort Lafayette. are reported
from an official source. They are startliDgly
serious. and will cause sharp papg to shoot
through some hearts which have long bled for
the loss of sons aud brothers in the terrible
battle of October 81. In Brief these charges
are: F,rst--of misconduct at the battle Of
Balls Bluff second-Of holding correspondence
with the enemy. before aud after the same
battle, and of having received the visits OF
rebel officers in his camps third-of treachory
in suffering tho enemy to build fort under
his guns, since tho aforementioned battle;
fourth-of . treacherous design to expose bis
command to capture and destruction by the
rebels. under pretense Of orders from the
General.in. Chief, which orders were never
given.
Such 10 the dreadful catalogue Of crimes, the
mere mention of which causes ono 10 shudder.
For mouths, fathers and mothers in Mnssacbu-

Day after day, week after week. tho prss,

some sort. The Balls Bluff tragedy wa'
shrouded in mystery from the hour when the
