THE REBEL LEADERS PREPARING TO
SkEDADDLE.-A letter to the New York
Times from Chattanooga contains the fol.
lowing interesting and credible statements
as to the condition of things in the heart of
the South, derived from refugees and pris-
Oners:
Speaking of the leaders, have been told
by one who, from connection and commu-
nlcatlon with them, is well prepared to
speak on the facts, that it is an indisputa-
BILE fact that the leaders, with whom, when
the final crash comes, there will be not even
| the hope of future, have boarded all the
gold they could lay their hands on, prepar-
atory to escaping from the country. have
no doubt of this. Hundreds who, though
not among the most prominent leaders,
have been more or less conspicuous, either
as original conspirators, or in sustaining
| the rebellion after it was launched, have
| already gone to foreign countries, after
| converting their possessions into ready
means. Large numbers are preparing to
follow; and it will not be long before the
leaders will begin to leave by blockade
runners. This / know is the expectation
OF well-infOrmed persons in Georgia and
Alabama, communicated to the friends
left behind-all secessionists. Refugees
from districts in Georgia, uncovered by
the panic-stricken retreat of Bragg have
come in in considerable numbers with
in the last few days. They agree in saying
that rebels who never before admitted that
there could be failure, now confess they do
not see in what quarter the star of hope is
to rise; while the less sanguine. but more
| reasonable, confess to the beginning, of the
end. We here may over-estimate the moral
force and consequences of the blow which
Grant has dealt square in the front of the
Confederacy. We rest our opinion OH evil
| dence that is tangible, derived from va
| riety of sources. Nor is our belief based
| solely on local deduction, but on whatiss said
by 0 multitude of witnesses. Madam said
1 to-day to a rebel lady-the wife of
prominent rebel officer, herself highly in
| telligent and thoroughly informed-'what
will be the effect on the Confederacy of this
! defeat?' Alas, said she, Il fear it will
prove fatal, 1t would be madness to at
tempt to disguise the truth. There is small
| hope for the cause now. The Federal army
is too numerous, it fights too well, is at last
in too able hands; while the Confederate
army is too small, is too much broken in
spirit, is too badly led, to afford reasonable
ground of hope that the Confederate cause
can succeed. This being so, let the end |
come quickly and let the agony be over.
This, unquestionably, is the sentiment that
| is creeping into the Southern mind, leav- I
| ing the rebellion naked of all else but the
desperation of the leaders, s.. 10

~ Ever since the war began large num-
bers Of rebels from Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and other regions have been
moving, in constant stream, to Texas.
That has been their blissful haven-their
place of security from the irruptions of the
pestilent Yankees and "Abolitionists!'
These nomads must feel we'll about these
times. The yankees have gone round
and headed them off most effectually.-
They can't go any further. The coil of the
Anaconda circles them. Maine and Iowa
are on the Rio Grande. BY and by tho
coil will begin to contract, and then the
rebels will be "gone up" and alas their
"niggers" will be freed! Isn't it horrible?
Isn't it too bad that they should meet with
such fate after all their efforts to avoid
it? Wonder if they found rebellion as
agreeable as they imagined it would be?

Franklin township is not going to
stand the draft. We learn that money has
been raised sufficient to pay to each volun-
teer 5000. This, with the Government
bounty, makes over $500 to every recruit.
Of course, if money will hire men at all,
they will go for this sum.

@- The latest dispatch about General
Schofeld, we have seen at this writing,
says that he has asked to be relieved from
A great many other people have asked the
same thing, and really there seems to be
no objection to granting his request
Gen. Schofield may be very good officer
very gallant, very able, and all that sort
of thing, but it is singular that none of
the jealous Union men Of Missouri have
been able to ''see it." Lethim be relieved,
Mr.. President. By so doing you will also
relieve the public mind of sore incubus.

@- People who object to a draft in the
North, ought to certainly go down into
Dixie. Things are running on there very
smoothly. jeff. proposes to conscript all
the males in his dominions between the ages
of fifteen and fifty-five, and don't intend,
Of course, that any one shall escape on pay
ment of $500 or any other sum. OF course
when all are to be taken no substitutes
will be obtainable. We don't know
whether or not he includes the "niggers''
in his programme. We think he does not
fancy calling on the "colored persons"
Dixie to save it from impending over
throw. He don't rely upon that class
much to speak of He knows, as we know,
where their hearts and desires are, and it is
not deemed over safe to trust many of them
with arms. So oil the whites must come into
the ranks. That sort of CONSUMPTION will no
doubtsuit our Butternuts. Doubtless they
are mourning over the factthat they are not
under Jeff's blissful rule They endorse
all he does. Why don't they so to him
and fight for him?

~W. K. Sebastian, of Arkansas, is
said to be on his way to Washington, with
the intention of occupying seat in the
Senate for the unexpired term for which
he was elected. We imagine he will hardly
be allowed to enter. And from the fact
that he once vacated his seat, thereby, if in
no other way, sanctioning the Secession of
the State he represented, it is not likely
that the Senate will admit man from a
State which has professed to be part of the
Confederacy, until the people have in some
legitimate mode repudiated that act and
renewed their allegiance to the Union. We
don't know what the Senate will do. But
we guess they will not be in haste to open
their doors to him just at present. If he
can re-enter, what is to prevent JEFF. Davis
or any other Of the rascals?

w. There is said to be a combination of
Merchants and Capitalists in New York
City, holders of large stocks of imported
Cotton, Sugars, Dry Goods &C., to maintain
theprice of gold as high as possible, despite
the actual downward tendency. 1t is very
likely that there is. 1t is just as likely,
too, that their scheme will collapse when
under full Roadway, and then where will
the combination find itself? That sort of
gambling usually proves its own punish
ment. The whole gang will probably be
"fattened OUT some of these mornings, to
their own dismay and the delight of all
who have suffered in the game. We hope
so, anyhow.

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWKEYE..

va. Persons who are hesitating about
volunteering may not have considered
some important facts. The Rebellion
is in its last agonies. The coming Spring
will certainly put an end to its military re-
sistance. The armies of Dixie will then be
utterly dissipated. ALI that will follow
will be occupation and reorganization. We
shall be compelled to keep an army in ex-
istence for sometime longer, but the mass
of the troops will be discharged. With that
result comes reaction-a vast overflow of
all the channels of labor, consequent de-
preston OF wages, and diminution in the
price of all products, whether of the field
or the factory. In year from the present
time, the men who depend on labor for
support will be jealous of the soldiers pay
because they will be receiving less. The
contention then will be, notwhoshall avoid
going into the army, but as to who shall
stag in. That will then be the desirable
place for all who are not engaged in some
more than ordinarily profitable calling
That viii be about the condition of matters
a year hence, unless all signs fail. We
think the chances of their failure are eX
ceedingly slender. Another campaign will
utterly annihilate the rebel armies, and
then comes the reaction in all business
matters, which will make the condition Of
the soldier in the army, with his pay and
bounties, one of comparative ease and COM
fort and safety. The change from state
of war to peace. the disbanding of our
huge armies, the consequent change in di-
rection toall industrial pursuits, will inevi-
tably produce such results as we have men,
toned. Those wilo are making calcula-
tons on the continuance of the present in
fated prices of products and labor, are
making great mistake. Is it not best to
consider these things, among others, in de-
termining whether to volunteer or not.

NEWSPAPER TO BE SoLD.-An order was
made in the Court of Common Pleas of
New York City, on the 18th, on the appli-
cation of Stephen T. Clark against James
and Erastus Brooks, joint proprietors of
the New York cypress, by which the sale
of that newspaper establishment is COM
manded for the benefit of plaintiff and de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Clark seems to be anxious
to dissolve partnership with Brooks, but
whether on business or political grounds,
we are not informed.

we imagine no one, outside the Fancy
circles, will seriously regret it.
rs The report that Gen. Meagher was
captured by the rebels is denied. He is said
to be guest of Gen. Corcoran and the Off
GERS of his legion, at Fairfax Court House.
We guess Meagher knows how to take care
of himself. He knows how to fight and the
man who is up to that is seldom caught
mapping by rowing bands of guerrillas.
