at Washington did not press their id'as upon
General Grant, and that he therefore hao 'he
opportunity to carry out bis own. Ley 'ne
generals have more such opportunities Leu
there be more of the spirit in which that &C
acknowledgement was made, and there will he
more sucb successes. And while Rosecrans and
Gilmore do so much, the Army OF the Potomac
must not be left idle. II Lees men strengthen
Beauregard, Bragg or Johnston, 50 much the

REBEL STATE GOVERNMENTS ON THEIR IRA
vEIs-At last accounts the rebel State govern
ment Of Mississippi, having been smoked out
of the Capitol at Jackson, was five hundred
miles away in an obscure corner on the Ala
bama border. The remnants of the rebel State
government of Missouri were down at Little
Rock, in Arkansas, when I. the Yankees en-
tered the place and drove them out to parts un-
known, together with the Arkansas concern
itself. The rebel Governor and his posse of
State officers were. when last heard from, on
board an old steamboat on an out-of-thewav
Mississippi bayou, shut up at both ends, and
protected by swamp on each flank The
rebel Governor Isham G. Harris, with the
archives Of the capital Of Tennessee in his
breaches pocket, at the same time was reported
somewhere among the mountains of Northern
Alabama. It will, from all appearances, not
be long before another batch of rebel State
Governors, each with his Official staff, are
started on their travels, together with JEFF
Davis and the whole Confederate establish
mont; and lucky, then, will be the man who bas
sold out his Confederate scrip, even at three
cents on the dollar.

The Hon Hoss GREELEY AND THE Hon. BiA'
Wo0D.--The Hon. Hoss Greeley has made the
wonderful discovery that the platform lately
adopted By the New York democracy at Albany
does not tally with the oopperhead peace doc
trines Of the Hon. Ben Wood That such is
the fact must he admitted; but il is equally
notorious that, between the platform OF the New
York republicans and the radical abolition
programme Of Greeley and the niggerheads
the difference is quite as broad. AS the mig
gerheads have been put in a back seat Of The
republican church Of New York 50 have the
copperheads been put back by the sagacious
managers of the democracy The Hon. Ben
Wood, like an unbroken, frisky mule, IL kick
ing in the traces; but the Hon. Hoss Greeley
like an old stager. having tried long ago the
experiment of generating and splitting upon
his party platform, now tries hard to submit to
the lash of his party masters. But if be can't
kick in the traces without breaking his shins.
he can with impunity kick at Ben Wood and
Jim Brooks, who belong to - peace party.
Aud so we say let the Hon Floss Greeley, who
demanded peace by the 1st of May last, and
the Hon. Ben Wood, who demands peace at
any price, fight 1t out
