u Is claimed b. rebel sympsthisers
that the efforts Of be government in
snppressing the rebellion have prov
ed futile, ard that the subiugation al
the South can never be consnmma,-
ed Two years ago the rebels held
by force Of arms nearly the entire
State o. Missouri, the second in Tie
80 called confeleraey, more than half
Of Kentucky, the whole Of Tennessee,
about three quarters Of Virginia,
the whole Of North aod South Carolina,
Louisiana, Mississippi aud Afkansas.

the capitol was filed with traitors,
and he government itself gave only
a feeble and partial influence IN ia
los Of il, own preservation.
Hos IS il to-day The armies
of the republic have by successive vie.
tories driven the enemy from the whole
Of Missouri and Kentucky. Three
fourths Of Tennessee aud n half Of
Arkansas has been recovered while
In these States at least eight regiments
Of Unionists have entered our armies
New Orleans, the commercial centre
Of the enemy has been taken and
held, and nearly the entire port Of Lou
isiana Is In our possession. Western
Virginia, by far the better part Of
tho old dominion, has Of her own
accord united her desiiuies with the
Repub'ic--Missoa has declared in

Davis is running for congress with
every prospect Of success, endors-
ing every act Of the administration,

The National Capitol has become
loyal city.
More than this, the main stay Of
rebellion has been struck fatal blow
ard slavery is melting away like the
morning dews before the August sun
the rebel armies defeated, desper-
ate and starving are only held togelh.
or by the dcspolism Of its leaders.
Behold the southern country filled
with desoh,ion and ruin, and on the
very brink Of famine.
Where now are the sonorous and

II is claimed also by the rebel
9mpathisss, that the war against the
rebels will fail for want of suppor,
from the people. There was never
a more mistaken notion than this
In spite Of the noisy elamor and
dismal forebodings Of the peace men
