In January, 1862, the military lines of JEFF.
Davis, extending from Harper's Ferry through
Northwestern Virginia and through X entucky
and Missouri, enclosed and held about 10000
square miles Of this territorial area claimed by
the rebellion. BY January, 1868, excepting q
few bands Of thieving guerllas, the armed
forces Of Davis had been expelled from one
third Of Virginia, the whole Of Kentucky and
Of Missouri two-thirds of Arkansas, one.half of
Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas, and from
smaller portions of oil the other rebellious
States.
the capture Of Vicksburg and Port Hudson
we have disposed of the rebel armies of the
valley Of the Mississippi; and with the liberia
tion Of the splendid army Of General Grant,
and the equally heroic though smaller army Of
General Banks, we have at least one hundred
thousand veteran troops added to our movable
forces in the West, with only q contemplate
squad Of a few thousand armed rebels here and
there between Alabama and Texas. Practi-
cally, therefore, we may already consider Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas as res
cued from the rebellion. Next, with the expul-
sion Of Bragg from Tennessee, that State may
be pronounced as wholly recovered from the
gripe of King Davis and his instruments. The
area Of the States and parts Of States, there
fore, actually remaining under the control Of
the armed forces Of the rebellion at this time
may thus be summed up

Everything Qaiet i'm the City-The AL
legged Cause or the Draft.
The peace of the city yesterday was not dis
turbed by single act which could create any
alarm. Perfect quiotness prevailed in all
quarters. General Dix, who has arrived here
to take command or the Military District of the
East, had a long interview with Governor Sey-
mour, which was said to be of most satisfac-
tory character. General Candy was present at
the interview. 1t was apparently understood
by the parties to the conference that no trouble
between the State and federal authorities was
imminent. Indeed Governor Seymour init
mated that no interference between the two
authorities had occurred up to this time and
that he presumed that all the administration
had done in sending troops yet was merely
from their desire to protect property here and
prevent its destruction, adding that there was
q large amount Of government property in this
city.
1t will be seen by the statement of our cor
respondent in Washington, published In another
column, that the reasons for the present draft of
three hundred thousand men may have diff
ferent complexion from what is supposed; that,
in fact, the government are satisfied that con-
scripts are not needed to put down the re-
bellion, now that the armies of General Meade,
General Grant, General Rosecrans and General
Banks have obtained such signal victories over
the rebels at various points. 1t is intimated
that an anxiety to be prepared to meet the
threats implied by the recent significant
speeches in the British Parliament the hostile
tone of portion of the English press and
the indications inferred from the decision
in the Alexandra case, has induced the
President to inelease the army and strengthen
our seacoast defences in case of contingency,
which is how regarded by the administration
as by no means improbable. It is said that the
government at Washington has come to the re-
solution to suffer NO longer the fitting out of
armed cruisers for the use Of the rebels in the
ports of Great Britain, and that the confrma-
tion of the decision In the case Of the Alexandra
by the higher court Of England-which Is con.
fdently expected-will be considered as a de-
claration of war on the part Of the British
government.
In this emergency 1t is said that the Presi-
dent deems call for three hundred thousand
men paramount duty.

-Or ABOUT OncIOurtn OF the terrltOrl0l area
represented in the Congress Of the so-called
Confederate States" Grant has only to move
with fifty thousand men, in conjunction with
Fsrragut's fleet, and, with the fall Of Mobile,
Alabama goes by the board; Rosecrans has
only to push to Atlanta after the skeleton Of
an army left with Bragg, in order to liberate
Georgia. and, while General Gilmore and our
iron-clads are satisfactorily prosecuting their
case before Charleston, it will require only
another meeting between the army of General
Meade and the army Of Lee to settle the ques-
tion in Virginia and North Carolina. And how
are the rebel rulers ut Richmond to prevent
these closing misfortunes to their sinking
cause? The losses in men Of the rebel armies,
East and West during the last three weeks
will afford the satisfactory answer that, con-
sidering the diminished resources, forces and
gloomy prospects Of Davis and bis confede-
rates, these closing misfortunes to them and
their hopeless cause cannot, by any human pos
sibility, be avoided.
The casualties in General Lees army, from
his late "grAnd entree" into Pennsylvanis
down TO the return OF his shattered columns to
the Virginia sid6 Of the Potomac, are thus esti-
mated by Surgeon General Hammond, of the
United States Army

Total Losses 10 Lee. c.....................46 46,5OO
This, although the principal, 10 only ene itesu
In the account The entire bill Of the rebel
losses ia men killed, wounded, prisoners and
missing during the last three weeks will hardly
fall short of the following fgures:-

thousand to Bragg, twenty thousand to Jo
Johnston, ten thousand at Charleston. i've

remainder scattered about In small dctach-

The End Draws Nigh-Ths Rebellion
and Its Diminished Boundaries, Ar
mics and Resources.
When the experimental Southern confede-
racy under JEFF. Davis was first organized,
In February, 1861, at Montgomery, Ala, 1t en-
braced seven States, known as "the cotton
States"-to wit: South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas. The bombardment Of Fort Sumter, and
the secession of Virginia two mouths later, en-
abled the Southern revolutionary oonspirators,
by terrorism and by fraud, to drag into their
sanguinary embraces the additional States of
North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. They
also claimed the States of Kentucky and Mis-
souri, under the most impudent false protences,
and for considerable time stoutly resisted by
arms the will of the people Of said States and
the authority and power Of the federal govern
menk AS represented in the rebel Congress at
Richmond, from 1861 down to the present day,

from the main body of their contederates they
may be simply considered as rebel stragglers
within the Union lines
We believe, therefore, that within two or
three months the rebellion, in view of its
present crippled, exhausted chop-fallen, de-
moraized and hopeless situation, must inev-
taby collapse. Only let Gen. Meade push
vigorously after the shattered and demoralized
army of Lee, and bring it to final settlement
on the road 10 Richmond, and il is altogether
probable-nay, it is absolutely certain that,
from the general collapse of the rebellion East
and West, this formidable monster known as
"the draft" will dwindle down into a very
harmless affair with the disappearance of the
necessity for any extensive employment of the
conscription. We cannot be mistaken in this
that our armies in the field have the rebellion
within their grasp, and that the end draws
nigh.
IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CARoLINA.-We
publish elsewhere highly important news
from North Carolina. The letters OF our New
bern correspondent, corroborated by the Ra-
leigh State Register, show that there is formi-
dable organization in that State to bring It
back to the Union by reconstruction, and that
the members Of it are only waiting for some
happy opportunity to do so. JEFF Davis has
thus q fire in lis rear. The old "North
State" begins to see the error Of her way,
and is preparing to wheel into line, If the
radical fanatics will only permit her, by return
ing to the original programme of the war and
abandoning all other issues.
The statement of our correspondent and the
North Carolina journal is supported by other tes-
timony that every man is willing to discuss the
question of the reconstruction of the Union.
Let the most ordinary craftsmanship bo ex-
hibted, and the thing is perfectly feasible. not
withstanding all the blood that has been shed;
for the Southern men, as well as the Northern,
must feel that in the Union are strength and
greatness and peace; that in disunion are weak
ness and the seeds Of future wars; and that the
heritage Of the Union belongs as much to the
South as to tie North, under the one great
magma charta Of the constitution. The recent
losses and disasters Of the Southern States will
dispose the population towards peace; and, il
there is any common sense, moderate co1nsels
will be adopted, and an opportunity will be
given to the wandering sheep TO return to the
fold.
