THE APPROACHING END or THE AMERICAN
WAR.
From The London Daily News.
The most ardent friends OF Secession are admitting
that the project Of establishing separate Govern
mint in the South never was so gloomy ar now.
Even TIE Times seems bali inclined 10 sound the
retreat, and to seek refuge in the Federal lines.
The penod has nearly arrived for Iesos,lne 10 the
weli-kuown exVedient Of Publishing contradictory
articles In contiguous columns, with the consong
certainty that some at least OF tho views advocated
Will turn out tOlerably correct. Inc hos IN New
York will serve 10 distract public attention for few
asys; bat, unless We greatly misuse the character
o. the events which have .tsly occurred IN America,
the failure Of the South Is due not 70 any temporary
difficulty but TO permanent causes. And, therefore,
10 timo should be lot by those who lave hitherto
supported the South in trls country IN placing
themselves where they may see things IN their true
light.
1t is fact universally admitted that the Southern
Rebellion las been admirably mau~geG. From the
time wien the fret gun fired against tort sum

been most sagacOusiy formed and the oest use has
been made of such resources ~ they could lay their
hands upon. On The other hand The Northern Gov
eminent have been guilty Of grleyOus mistakes. In
the beginning they had serious belief in tue
reality Of gigantic Rebellion. An army was 10 o.
created, and the officers who were 10 command ere
without experience.

and the capture OF important poiuis has been de-
