hue from the vast German and other European
that have come 10 that section

The Way has no taste bfthls sort of things,

TUE FEDERAL ARMY on THE JINEs.7
The Sentinel ls very positive that Gen. Granps
forces are greatly depleted by disease and
slaughter, aud predlels further calamity:
"The enemy encamped on the james are
now suffering fcarfully from diseases incident
to the climate, aud which will be increased
ten-fOld as autumn approaches. By removing
them to the upper Potomac their health would
be improved, but the facilities for deJertlon
would greatly overbalance the advantages on
account of health. Grant and his army are
nearly played out, and the question OF who 10
To succeed him Is already asked In the North.
The Yankee pichet on the Rapldan, last spring,
was right when, In answer TO q question from
Confederate as TO their object in changing
the commander OF the Federal army, he said
that Grant was getting too big, and Lincoln
bad sent him over for Gen. Lee " let him down
a butLon-hOle or two.'"
HOW TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS.
The Examiner, taking its cue from North
ern secession journal, says that the Peace Dem
ocrats indicate the only chance Of restora-
ton Of the Union:
"Let there be not only IN 'armistice,' but q
formal renuuciatlou OF all right and pretence
to coerce these states, and, OF course, an entire
withdrawal of all land and sea forces which
occupy any portion of our soil or blockade anv
of our ports, and then the Northern States will
for the first time be In position to propose to
us reconstruction Of the Union, or a couveu-
ton of States for the purpose of negotiating
that. 1t may safely be promised that such pro-
poslls would then be at least considered; At
present one cannot say what would be the re-
suit of that considerations but, in short, let our
Northern brethren try US. With such u change
in the existing relations, no doubt there may
come also a great change over mems minds" ."
RICE FOR rrFTr CENTS FOUND.
At one place in Richmond rice can be had
cheap: ...
'"Families arc informed that they can obtain,
for their own consumption, prime rice at fifty
Harvey"
THB WAR ALMOST OVER.
The Sentinel can almost be convicted of pla.
gisrizIng the following from a Northern cop
perhead paper; ..
"Nobody now apprchends subjug alton In the
South, and no one hopes fer It in the North.
The war is reduced To 4 mere question OF time
How long can the North hold QUIT Time fights
on our side, and time conquers all things,
Let's be patient, and happy, too, In anticipa'
tion OF the many epibymeuts that surely coming
peace will bring along with ITSELF"
CMFoRT TO REBEL srMPATHIzKRs.
The Enquirer has the following, which we
may now expect TO see all It's Northern friends
reiterate in horrid forms OF expression:
Sin viewing the whole military horizon
within the sweep of our telescope, we have
every reason to hope favorable termination
to the campaign, and a demonstration to the
enemy that he can only expect to conquer the
South after he shall have slain her last de.
ruin"
THE SITUATION AT MOBILE.
The Wig takes a gloomy view Of the stu,
alton at Mobile, and particularly Of iron -clads,
II says;
1.-THE naval disaster at Mobile Is unques,
tionably an unpleasant affair, and, we fear,
will tend to fix ineradicabiy In the public mind
the idea, already widely entertained, that oui
lron-clad navy is foredoomed-each ship, wher
built, either to be captured, blown up by oui
own people, or stranded. The subsequent
surrender of fortress, in the same quarter, al
strong as modern science, with the experienc,
Of the defence OF Charleston, ample time and un
stinted resources could make it, fills all heartI
with deep and laceratlng grief and ranking
spirit of Indignation"
