The End Approaches.

The rebellion is in its dying agonies.
The rebel authorities have made their
last possible CONSUMPTION. The last
available man has been taken by the in
satiable and inexorabls draft. Boys Of
fifteen and old men OF sixty have been
dragged away to become food for powder
and disease. The rebel army has re-
ceived its last recruitment, and is now
daily diminishing in numbers by thous-
snds, with no sources Of new supply to
draw from. Decimated monthly by cas-
ualities, hardships, and disease, it has
fought almost its last battle.
So the military reliance of the rebel
lion is nearly gone.
Foreign Intervention, upon which the
conspirators calculated confidently for
the first two years of the war, is hardly
hoped for by them now, much less ex.
pected, Our cautious and astute Seere-
tary Of State has so managed his diplo.
matte cards that he has kept foreign in
termeddlers quiet, and now that Europa
is likely to have her hands full Of fight
ing in her own borders, our Administra-
ton win find it less difficult to keep out
OF foreign complications It is to be
hoped that we shall get through our in
testine difficulties without becoming en-
broiled in outside troubles The wisdom
Of the Administration in keeping clear
Of " entangling alliances and external
difficulties, is becoming more apparent
day by day and when this war is over
the thanks Of the people will be due to
those who have so skillfully managed
our foreign affairs. Zone war at a
time is a sensible and safe maxim, and
they have followed it.
The last hope Of the rebellion is in the
success of the Copporhead faction Of the
Nsrth. II the loyal men will defeat that
in the Fall elections, the bastard Con-
fedsracy will erumble to pieces and dis.
appear like the ''baseless fabric Of Wis
len, leaving not wreck behind When
it falls, like the cob.hause of a child, il
win go all at once. The leaders in the
the great crime against God and man
will save themselves, as best they can
from the fate of traitors Some Of
The bravest will "die in the last
hitch. Some may commit suicide
rather than to face the wratS OF an
outraged people. Some will flee from
the country and becomes sxiles in for
eign lands. The memories of all will be.
come Infamous History will catalogue
their naRss at the head OF the list which
embraces the names of Jndas Isearios,
Catalina, Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr,
and all the ingrates, traitors, robbers,
and murderers who have cursed the world
since the days of Cain.
The old Republic will come out Of the
crueible of ,afflietioA like gold seven
times refined. The dross of treason, arts
tocracy, slavery and corruption will
be separated from the precious metal of
patriotism, purity, equal rights, and uni
Versal freedom. There will be no more
rebellion against the authority of the
Union, no further attempts at secession,
for the next hundred years. One such a
rebellion is enough for an age.
The Republic has Outlived three fer
eign wars She has only to prove her
self superior to internal rebellion to rem.
der herself perpetual as the solid globe
on which she is based
There's good time esming. boys,
Wait little longer"
