The rebellion has not only begun It's de-
cline but is now fastening toward its final hour
with constantly increasing velocity Heavy
blows are dealt out TO it by hands that will
not spare, and the place of its origin seems
about to be, and fttingly, the place of
Its final struggle, virtually of its death.
With the fall of Sumter, and the capture
of Charleston which must soon follow it, the
victories Of the last few months are crowned
with final triumph, that renders the ques-
ton Of putting down the rebellion, one
which the most traitorous will find hard TO
make debateablc.
Before the news Of Sumter had reached us,
We knew that disafiectiOn and doubts were
disorganizing and disbanding the rebel ar
mics. How wi it he now. when the strong
hold Of rebellion, the place where the pride
and arrogance of our enemies has most dis
played itself is known to have fallen
under the avenging blows of that righteoss
government whose authority has been men
accd and dcfcd ? The moral effect of tn,
lesson We count very much upon, and bcliey,
the remaining strength, and the ob-tinacy O
the foe with whom we have to deal, will b,
broken and subdued more by this humiliation
than by almost any other disaster that coul,
beiali him.

The delay Of our forces to make decisive
aggressive movements for the purpose of
crushing and destroying the rebel armies, is
gaining for US advantages second only to
those which a vigorous and eminently sue
cessful activity could secure. When VIC CON-
slider the circumstances under which our en-
emies are waiting, it seems as if waiting on
our part in its effect is almost of the nature
Of an aggressive policy. As We are waiting,
the relative strength and courage Of the OF
posing armies is changing. Hope and conf
dncc, powerful allies at all times and es-
Tecially 70 in time of war, are adding daily
to our strength. while their opposites, des-
pair and doubt Of their cause, are as constant
" operating to weaken the enemy. We have
abundant resources which are beng gath
cred in for the coming conflict, while the ef-
forts Of the coniederates to increase their eff
icctive forces only reveal more clearly their
Deficiencies The convictions which were
welcomed by loyal men and which were
forced upon the disloyal, by our victories at
Gettysburg, Nieksburg and Port Hudson,
are not weakened but strengthened by time
We are more confident Of final triumph to
day than when these victories had Just been
achieved. We sec now the effect which they
are producing in dispiriting and disorganiz-
Ing the armies Of our enemies and in awak-
enins the people Of the South to a sense of
the weakness and instability of that which
they have chosen to term a government.

The advance in Tennessee.

While Meade and Lee watch each other
across the Rappahannock, and the country
waits patiently for the next move in that
quarter while Gilmore thunders away at
the defences Of Charleston and plants the
flag of the United States on the ruins of Fort
Sumter, Gen. Rosecrans advances his forces
in pursuit of Bragg and attacks Chattanoo-

south, and Burnside advances upon Knox

termination Of the Nashville and Chattanoo-

Railroad, which connects 1t with the chief
towns of Georgia. The Tennessee river is
nayigable by steam during about eight
months in the year, and by small boats at all
times.
The occupation of this place cuts the
chief northern line of railroad, and forces all
rebel communications round through the
lower line, in the Gulf States. 1t drives
Bragg back to Atlanta Ia, and with the oc-
cupation of Knoxville completely pushes the
rebels from Tennessee.
Knoxville, which was formerly the capital
of Tennessee, and is still the PRINCIPAL CITY

If Bragg leaves Mobile and Montgomery to

EARTHQUAKE AT MASnA.-The Manila
Circular of Messrs Russell & Sturgis, Of Juno
9th, says that the earthquake of the Sd and
4th was the most destructive ever experienced
there
On the Sd instant, at half-past seven in the
evening, a circumambient fame was seen TO
arise from the earth and grid the city Of Manila,
and at the same time most terrific quaking Of
the earth took place 1t lasted scarcely minute,
but in that short space near the whole Of fair
Manila has been reduced to a heap Of ruins. We
believe that upwards Of thousand have been
killed, and many thousands wounded, but IT is
impossible TO say or TO estimate Scarcely an
ediice has escaped without dead or wounded.
The good priests, their choristers and sacristans
and the faithful who were hearing the yespers Of
Corpus Christi, have been nearly all buried and
sufocated under the ruins Of the cathedral and
other churches. The only church that has es-
capped wholly is San Augustin, the same that
with-tood the tremendous shock Of 1915. The
palace, and nearly all the public and private IS
well as commercial edIhces, have been either
thrown down or shaken from their foundations
