this the country has had but little to cheer
its dropping spirits, for sometime. ofexpe-
ditions --by land and ssa that weresxpect-
easo do something, there has been no lack.
OF their achievements, We may no. dwell,
except to state, that they have not accom-
plished anything as vet very decisive.
This is the view we fast people OF the
North take Of the conduct Of the war. Now
lc. US see how the rebels look at the same
state of things, and then conclude, j: we
can, that We are no nearer the end than y e
were at the beginnine. Hear the Me,nphis
argus on what has been accomplished By
the Federal armies, and what it thinks Of
the prospects Of the rebels! ia

"Day follows day, and in li0 OF being

"We see access to peace rendered more and
more distant by the woudrousiy aecumulat-
ing power OF the Federal armies and navy
We see the advance that WAS easy six months
ago, d,ficult to-day. and likely to be impos-
sihie tomorrow. We see that, from shoa
latchet TO steam engine, We lack every
thing. and that the families Of our obedient
soldiers are suffering from the seeming fab
uians prices they have to pay for every thing
of domestic use. We look to the future,
and see nothing but war;"
That is pretty good showins-a fair
acknowledgement, and we think i. shows
that the Federal GoYerument has progress
ed to!erably fast in squslchiug he rebellion,
when it has succeeded 10 crlppling the reb
els to the extent that they are forced to
