Victory by Every Mail.

The true uen Of the country have been
cheered by the glorious news that has poured in
from almost all quarters the pust ten days, OF
the defeat, and rout and capture of the rebel
armies. From Gettysburg, from Vicksburg,
from Tennessee, and Helena every breeze bears
the dngs OF triumph on the part of the Nation
al arms, and confusion and disaster to the Re
beiion.
The capture Of Vicksburg nsnres entire con.
troll of the Mississippi to the Government, and
cuts square in two, near its middle, the great
empire over which the toulest treason ever he.
relel to the light of day, attempted to es!ab
fish an iron rule and despoic sway.
The whole nation is showing renewed energy
and zea and strengthening determination to
sweep, with bosom of destruction, the last
vestge Of rebellion and treason from every foot
of soil that the Stuls and Stripes ever tiuael
over.
There is that unmistakabe determination
evinced on the purt Of the loyal masses to push
forward the war with u renewed vigor till not
one rebel remains i'll arms against the Govern
mcnt, or one gun uncaptuied, which is cheering
to every loyal heart
Three hundred thousand men will be drafted
us soon as the enrolment can be completed
and hurled upon the lettering power Of treason
till it lies PROSTATE i'll the dust, never to rise
again.
Cereal Grant has struck the key note o.
peace in his proverbal reply to all rebel requests
for pareys and capitulotions. Unconditional
surrender or extelmnation is the only terms
that Gun be entertained by the Government in
the settlement of its bloody score with treason.
All who are in favor Of n speedy and lasting
peace will use their utmost efforts to push for
ward The war with renewed energy; and those
who profess to be for peace, and yet grnmble
against vigorous prosecution of the war, and
in favor of conference or medin, un, are simply
nulI-rolnb,uan, uniiois who have wrought more
injury to the nation and tie national cause than
half the rebel arms. Lad it not been for such
a party and policy in our midst as the peace
coppcrhead, party and policy, tie rebellion
could never have grown to the size and impor
losing, as itcollapses, shorn Of its strength by
every defeat.
The leaders of this internal plot to overthrow
Il liberal Government, have dragooned every
man into their ranks who was able to carry II
gun in order to cope with the national armies !;
and now, that the last man has been brought
forward only to be crushed before the uii-
checked march of our inviucible legions, as the
head Of their advancing columns pierce the
Cotton States, and the boom of their guns warns
the dweller3 in the confines of treason that the
day Of their doom, st'rnly and rapidly APP
proaches, their hopes, which have long since
given way to desperation, must end in despair.
With the bones of their young men whitening
every Southern plane, in their misguided efforts
to s,ibvcr the liberties of nation, the belt Of
their territory every day contracting, cut off
from the commerce of the world, pinched for
the very necessaries of life, exhausted by the
constant and hercuean efforts required to de-
lend at every point, the rebel strength is sink
ing, and ere long the monster must lie stark and
dead On the cory fields, where for thirty years
their statesmen have been schooling the rising
generations TO love a gangrene aristocracy and
hate free and liberal institutions, from which
emnaed all that wealth and power, which has
been appropriated by them, alas ! not to promote
the happiness and welfare of the human race,
but to foster pride and arrogance, and self con
ce ; and, in word, all The vices that corrnpt
the heart Of man.
