TIE UNION WINS {!

Of the speedy discontinue and overthrow OF
the Shareholders Rebellion had been very
greatly strengthened within the las. few days,
we should not expect the fact TO mako any
strong impression. For, though our readers
know that We never affect confidence we 90
not feel nor encourage them TO hope when we
are constrained TO fear they will naturally say
that our feelings and wishes warp our judg-
ment, and that men are always easily per.
suaded that that will be which they greatly
desire should be. But the operators in Gold
and in Pus,ic Securities cherish no snch mis-
lending fancies. 1t is their aim TO make money.
and they subordinate every other consideration
to this. Liberty, Union, Nationality, Peace
War, Public Faith, are TO them simply counters
in their absorbing game. They play TO win,
and ask not whether their dice be made
of the bones Of martyred patriots or
tho skulls of justly executed traitors.
They are a secret brotherhood, with lodges
in every capital, hswk-eyed agents in Wash
ington and Richmond, as well as masterspirts
in New York and London; their Geographic
iargon defes alike detection and detention; for
what jealous aid will Say that "WhoAt looks
well in Tennessee" means thai Rosecrans has
badly beaten Bragg, or that Exchange stin

vices of all important occurrences ahead of
the Goyernment-often ahead even of the Press.

When, therefore, We point to the fact that

which went begging when 5000 In gold would
bay 81, 900 of them, are now in ravenous de-
mand, though $500 in gold for $1,000 will
barely purchase them, and that operators
are VIGOROUSLY selling ont and depressing
other good stocks in order to buy into these,
we state what has many times the significance
Of our own opinion to tho same purport
Briefly, tho Moneyed Interest which has its
emisSaries throughout every portion Of tho
country-loyal or rebel-bas come to the DELHI
crate and unanimous conclusion that the Re-
beion is "played out'-that it is on its last
legs, and about to be knocked off them irrevo-
cably. So Confederate notes and promises have
sunk below zero, while every day witnesses a
wild, increasing rush to invest in the securities
of the Union.
Of course, we know that it is possible for
imbecility or treason even yet to delay if not
absolutely avert the glad conSummation-almost
as easy as it was for the same qualities to
draw down upon us the needless disaster and
disgrace of Bull Run. But our faith is strong
that imbecility and treason have lost their
grasp on our National forces, our National des.
TIMES, and that the next Fourth OF July will
be celebrated throughout restored and peace

mon now in tho field will probably
suffice to deal decisively with tho Rebel
armies. Raids, dashes, sudden concentrations
in overwhelming force, may yet inaiCt losses
on tho National cause, but il seems to ~ Just
