The Prospects of the Rebels.

ten long letter to the London Time
the English organ of the Secessionist
We copy the following paragraphs, cal
ing especial attention to the paragrap
which makes known, prematurely W
think, the part Vallandigham is to play
He announces first, that instead :
the prospects of the South looking blue
they were never brighter He declare
also that The Union is forever DESTROYED
and then adds:
Since, then, the Union is gone, an,
neither party can subiugate the other, i
follows that the war is not to be endet
by the sword
Other agents have to be called in play
What are they? Let us inquire. The,
are, divisions in the camp of the enemy
dlssensions among the people of the
North. There is already a peace part,
there. All the embarrassments with
which that party can surround MIR. Lin,
coin, and all the difficulties that it can
throw in the way of the war party in the
North, operate, directly as SO much aid
lana comfort TO the South.
As an offset, then, against the tide OF
military reverses which in the first weeks
OF July ran so strong against the South,
and from which our friends in England
seem not to have recovered, let us look
to those agencies that are to end the war.
and inquire what progress has bee n
made on the road to peace, and, conse-
queLtly in our favor, Notwithstanding
these military reverses.
Notwithstanding these, the war is be-

conduct Of the Pennsylranians duri,,o
Lees inuasion Of that State, to the riots
in Neic York, to the organized resist
ance to the war in Iowa, and to other
circumstances with which the English
public has been made acquainted by the
newspaper press.
New York is threatening armed resist
ance to the Federal Government. New
York is becoming the champion of
States rights in the North, and to that
extent is taking Southern ground. Mr..
Lincoln has not onlyjudged it expedient

and deemed it prudent to give vent to
free speech there, but he is evidently
afraid to enforce the conscription in
the Empire State" The Conservation
act, itself, moreover, seems to be so
abortive throughout Yankee land genel-
ally that he cannot now muster fore
enough to follow up his July successes.
Grant has become afraid of Johnston
decoy, which aimed to entice him off to
the swamps and canebrakes of the Mis-
so-called pursuit and taken to his darling
gunboats. Lxfhs
Banks has left Port Hudson, to be
routed. it is said, beyond the Mississippi
by Tailor, with severe loss.
Rosecrans has not sufficiently recover
ed from the blow that Bragg gave bim
last Christmas in Murfeeesboro, to fol-
low up that retiring Confederate, while
Brag has forces in the Gederal General 8
rear.
In the attack upon Charleston, the en-
emy is losing ground. He is evidently
giving away. He has been driven from
James Island, and we are planting bat
teries which will sweep Morris Island,
which is nothing but sand beach. So
Charleston Cnay be considered safe.
As for Meade, he simply stands at bay
behind Lee.
Thus the military tide which set in
with so much promise on the young food
in July, and which has SO dsmpened the
spirits of our English friends and de-
pressed southern securities, appears sud
denly to have slackened, and to be on
the point of again turning in our favor.
and that too, under auspices that seem
more propitious than ever.
Vallandigham waits and watches over
the border, pledged-if elected Governor
of the State of Ohio, to carry it against
Lincoln and the war, and to go for peace.
What the result of the election there will

is going on, and we know that opposition
to Lincoln and his war party is becoming
more and more popular every day, and
throughout the whole North Witnes:
Burnsides decree, putting, in violation
of all legal right and Constitutional pow
er, the State of Kentucky under MARTA
law, and that, too, just as the elections
are coming off In that State. He order
the commissioners of elections to lie
none vote but friends of Lincoln and tn
l. Union; and the last steamer brings tn
announcement, in the jubilant rhetori
of the Yankee press "The Union ticke
has been elected in Kentucky BY a larg
majority" Well it might; there was n
other ticket allowed.
Why, but for this growing hostility t
Lincoln and the war, put Kentucky ur
der martial law at all2 Simply becaus
of the growing activity and increasin
energy Of those influences which are {
work in the cause of peace, and ther

battles that have been fought since Il
