| open from its mouth to its source. The fed
eral cause has triumphed. There can be no
doubt that Gen. Grant has seized the key of
the place that is hung up in the fortress at
! Vicksburg. Now is the time for mediation
instead of indulgence in the idea of sympathy
or in vain hopes of the war continuing. Eve
ry one who wishes well to England and to the
world at large, should promptly unite in an
appeal to Lord Palmerston, requesting him
not to lose moment in proposing terms not
injurious to the south, yet acceptable to the

eratiOns at some other points they seem to he
| intent on soidly securing what when the war
ends may be called the lines of frontier. The

| the suppoSition that the recognition OF south
ern independence is not excluded from the
mediatiOns of the statesmen at Washington,

| day. A cabinet council was held Yesterday

| Morning Herald says that Mr.. Mason's pres
| ence in Paris has strengthened the report of

correspondent of the London Morning Post
also reports that fresh efforts are being made
by Messrs. Mason and Sldel to obtain from
the European governments the recognition of
