EXPLODED THEORIES.

The Rebels with their accustomed alac
rity, We nee, are repairing their railroad
communications iD Central Mississippi,
which were 70 badly cut up by the recent
rAiu of General Sherman from Vicks5urg
to Merriam. Dispatches from the latter
place to the Richmond pagers. copied else
where. show that the ''crippliug" Of the
cueny by this process. is but temp orsry
Inconvenience, and that he will soOD re-
cover from 1t iu Mississippi. as he bad al
ready recovered from it in Virginia and
eisew here. -
There are three fanciful theories for
putting down the rebellion otherwise than
by meeting and beating its armies in the
Eeid, that were in vogue at the beginning
of the war. but which are now pretty
thoroughly exploded Oue was an upris-
ing Of the negroes on plantations in the
cotlon' States that would compel masters
aud owners to quit the Rebel .rmy IN
order to look after life aud property a,
home The next was the famous and ever
popular starvation theory. The other was
the idea that, If We c"uld destroy their
liaes of communication, the eneRy could
not restore them for want OF the necessary
labor aud material.
Now. Whatever reasonable expectations
We may have entertained in these several
respects, it is presu,ued nobody will now
assert, in ths face Of past and present tx
pcricnces, they are likely TO be fulfilled. -
Negroes will n,', break out, as they have
not broken out in insurrscfion. Their
masters will not ssarve. as they have not
starved. Railroads will not stay. as they
have not staid. destroyed. 1t but remains
tor US, then. to drop these delusions-and
to 60 to work and fight. and defeat the
great armies which the Rebels hs ,e 10 tae
field. When that work is actually accom-
plished. all will have been accomplished
and We shall no lunger need to destroy
railroads. nor to invoke on our behalf the
auxiliary help Of General Starvation or
General lusurrcc:ion.
