within three weeks; and in ten days thereafter
dfty thousand men may be put ashore ut Har'

by fotilla of eunboats, or at West Point, on
the York river. And suppose they are checked
within five miles Of Richmond by the rebel for

may be shelled into capitulation or hasty
retreat from any one OF the numerous available
points within five miles Of the town.
Gillmore's long range Parrot guns will very
materially simplify the work of reducing both
Richmond and Mobile. We trust, AZ all events,
that the hints thrown out from Richmond in re-
ference to Lees situation will not be neglected
at Washington We have no doubt that at this
juncture, considering the inevitable collapse
of the rebel financial paper money system,
with the fall of Richmond the war would be
ended; and we are sure that by the plan Of ope,
rations suggested Richmond could yet be cap.

him to suppress the Chevalier Jewett During
the recent absence Of this erratic diplomatist in

returned to this continent and is ssoJourning upon
the Canadian side Of Niagara Falls, and his
letters are longer and more numerous and
not less trashy than ever This fact convinces
us that the high rate of transatlantic postage

hope, therefore, that he will soon go back to
Europe again. and that the next Congress will
