ss5@The Yankees have had great rejoicings over
the fall OF Eicksourg, and predict that "the rebel
lion will be crushed in few weeks. Congratu-
atory speeches have been made by Seward, Lin
coin and others. Seward tells the world, and he
wishes the world to believe it, that Louisiana and
Missouri and North Carolina, &c, have pettioned
to be restored to bis Union. He knows this to be
false, and he ought to know that he will not be
believed IN Europe, for which market his lies
designed. He told the Emperor ofthe French
the same story six months ago. and it was received
with hiss Of derision. \ State means the ma

MONAHCrE1CAL MOVEMENTS AN
SOUTH AMERICA.

We notice in the papers we receive IRON
South America considerable uneasness at the
prevalence in several republics of monarchlcal
tendencies. The state in which these serti'
ments seem to be strongest is Ecuador The
President, Moreno, and most Of the high func'
tionaries of the state are said to bo favorable to
the idea of French protectGatc, and several
Of the newspapers openly advocate the restora-
ton of monarchcal rule IN South America.
A lato number Of the Nercnrio of Valparaiso
makes some remarkable statements on this sub
iect which, if true, show the monarchical move
ment to have become Of greater Importance
than has been generally supposed, end deserv-
ing of greater attention than it has hitherto
received. The Mercurio says that the present
President Of Peru, Gen. Pezet, seems to incline
toward the same policy. Gen. Pezet was III
France, when, in consequence OF the death OF
tho former President, San Roman, he was
suddenly elevated TO the Presidency Upon
tho receipt Of this news he was saluted
by Louis Napoleon os prince Regent,
and this elevation Is supposed to have had
on him pernicous influence. II is certain
that having returned to Peru, and actually
assumed the functions Of President, he ap'
pointed two avowed monarchsts TO important
diplomatic positiols-Gen. Niyanoo as Minister
Residen. near the Court OF Madrid, and Don
Jose Antonio Layallc, Secretary Of Legation at
The same Court Gen. Viyanoo has manifested
monarchcal tendencies, ever since he, in lS42. de-
clarcd himself supreme Regenerator' in Peru;
and Senior Layallc has not only in his drawing
rooms boasted OF his arstocra,ic views, but has
even in the National Assembly declared that, in
his opinion, tho tedu idCa! Of agoyernment is
monarchy.
At present, the monarchical party in thC
South American Republic is only a small one,
but it can hardly bc doubted that the successful
and permanent establishment of an Empire IN
Mexico would give strength to it in every, oI
nearly every, South American country. The
destruction Of republican institutions IN Mexico
would bo follow cd. al least. by attempts TO d.
the same thing in some OF TIE states OF Central
ard South America.

refrain from ono thing or the other save that it
must, with the peoples help, put down the
Rebellion as promptly and thoroughly as
its means will allow. We give no
heed and no credit to the idle tales aacat ns to
the conservative part of the Cabinet urging
this or demanding that in behalf Of Slavery;
while we feel very sure that the President not
only ardently desires, but confidently hopes, to
suppress the Rebellion and extirpato its cause
long before the close Of his term. We believe
he will be rather embarrassed than aided in this
by the committal of his supporters to any special
theory as to what is to be done, or how it is to
be done. to restore bcneficent peace to our
country. There is no man III it moro anxious
for a speedy, genuine, lasting peace, than its
President; and SO are at least the great majority
Of his official councillors. Let the loyal people
leave the President unfettercd as to mode,
while doing their utmost to supply him with tho
means, Of achieving such Peace.

With good management in this District loyal
and capable men may be placed on the Police
and Civil Bench. The Tanmany Convention
has lad a "spht," the delegates from the
Eighteenth Ward nominating Mr.. James Ma
honey and those from The Twenty-frst Ward
Mr. Weare u. Parsons. The latter has been
taken up by Mozart HALL and, as the District
has not a very large Democratic majority at
best, the chances are strong that. with some
strength gained By The candidate for CiyilJus
ticc, Police Justice Kelly may be reelected.
For the Office OF Civil Justice in this District,
Mr.. George c. Barrett is in nomination from
several sources, and through lis own good
qualities aud those of his respected uncle--Mr.
Wilinm G. Barrett. of the law firm OF Barrett
4 Bun.madc, Wall stIset-has nearly all the

ary of our city, and who has receiyeda thorough

The Rev. Henry Ward Beechcr will address

repeats himself the address will not be rcpetl-
ton of that given the other evening in Brooklyn,
though the topic we understand is the same--hiS
experience in England. The lecture is for the
benefit of the Sanitary Commission and nobody,
therefore, will regret-nay, will rather rejoice
that the price of admission is high. Could the
Academy contain twice as many as can crowd
into it, it would still be too small to hold tho
thousands who wish to hear Mr.. Beecher, and
will be glad, at the same time, to swell the

The latest election returns from Missouri
indicate that the soldiers vote, as far as heard
from, not only wiped ont the Conservative
majority on the home vote, but elected the
Radical State ticket by a majority OF some-
where between 1900 and 1000. Tho united
Conservatives and Copperheads are making
desperate efforts to throw out q sufficient num-
Der Of soldiers votes TO elect the anti-Radical
ticket. Secret circulars, postmarkcd at st.
Louis, have been received by the county clerks,
in which studied efforts are made TO induce the
clerks to reject such votes and as the contest is
so close that it would be sufficient 10 gain over
few of the county clerks for this plot, it is
greatly feared tha, the Radical party may still
be cheated ou, OF their victory. The time when
soldiers votes may be received expires to-day

on the authority of the case of The People agt.
