REBEL PAPERS NORTH AND South AND TEE
MILITARY SrruArroS.-Tbe rebel papers down
in Dixie who know the exact importance Of our
victory at Atlanta are silent about IL. They
appear TO be dumbfoundered, and know not
what to say. But IL is very different with the
rebel organs at the North--such as the Ne'os,
the World and others. These boldly try to
brazen It out and declare that the victory Ia
Of no consequence, and that tbe capture OF
Atlanta h q merA hAuatelle.

Smith, Regius Professor of Modern History In
the University Of Oxford, is among the recent
European arrivals in Boston. Professor Smith
is one of the moro liberal Euglishmen of the
present day, who, like Messrs Golden, Bright

our political and social system, where the herd
Of Eoglish writers condemn at once. He comes
to take a look at the practical life of the ma
ton, and will remain through the period of the
Presidential election. He should receive a
hearty welcome.

PRICES AND CuRRENcr.--The theatres have
raised their prices and still the people throng
those places OF amusement. II must not be
supposed, however, that this patronage will be
extended to such theatres az do not, with an
increase Of price, furnish more attraction. An
addition Of forty or fifty per cent In prices
must tell against the smaller theatres. The
same rule Is applicable to journalism. In
crease Of price will kill or many papers which
have been forced to demand more from the
public than their former rates. Such well es-
tablished journals as the HERALD, which have
from the force Of circumstances doubled In
price, find no decrease>of patronage, however.
The circulation Of this paper is even greater
than when IL sold at two cents, while our ad-
vertising list is larger. The lesser journals
must, however, perish, as they can AFFORD no
increase Of attraction with increase Of price.

The ARMIsTICE IN RIcHMoND.-TLe proposal
for an armistice frightens the Richmond En-
aminer dreadfully. 1t considers that an arms
tice would be more perilous to Southern inde-
pendence than Lincoln's war to the knife"
because it would give the South chance to
wake up, and create in the Southern States ga
Union party once more" and that that party
would make troublesome discord.''

The FRENCH IN MExIoo.-It will have been
seen by the advices which we published
yesterday, that the French have met
with severe reverses in Mexico. In
four pitched battles the French and AL
gerian troops were defeated by General Diego
Alvarez, while other Mexican commanders had
successfully resisted the attacks of the in
vaders. This news completely relutes the
rebel rumors of French successes lately set
afioat by the agents of the Maximilian admin
istration. and proves that the Austrian has
bard work before him yet. In fact, it seems
now more than ever likely that the Mexicans
will successfully resist the French until we
shall be at liberty to give them helping
hand, and clear from this continent the hordes
Of French and Austrian ilibusters

SECRETARY SEwARD's CAMPAIGN SPEECH-The
stump Grafton which the Secretary Of State de-
livered to his fellow citizens in Auburn, N. Y,
on Saturday evening last, aud which will be
found in full in this days issue of the HERALD,
is an important pronunciamiento He opens the
Presidential campaign with the announcement
that the salvation OF the Union depends upon
the re- election of Mr. Lincoln, and that the war
must continue until the rebels are forced to sue
for peace. He intimates that slavery is no
longer an issue of the war, and that the instilu-
ton will not be interfered with after peace is
declared. He is severe on the radical aboli-
tionists, and directly charges the delegates to
the Chicago Convention and the peace demo-
Gratis generally with being aiders and abettors
Of the rebellion and the supporters Of Jefferson
Davis. lie also makes the welcome announce
ment that there will be no draft, as the Union
armies are being reinforced by volunteers as
fast as necessity requires.

The Military situation q Simple One
Grant and Lee.

The confederacy has but one army left
Fifty general actions, skirmishes innumerable
and the hardships of three years Of terrible
warfare have exhausted, have destroyed en-
tirely, the ignorant but hardy population upon
which the rebel leaders counted to overthrow
the government Of the United States. All that
is left of that population now is the rabble of
Hoods last thirty thousand and the one army
under Lee Nearly million armed men have
in the three years Of its career fought the bat
ties Of the great rebellion, and we have de-
stroyed all but the last tenth Of that immense
power. Putting down the rebellion is now
narrowed to the question Of beating Lees
army. 1t must be apparent to every reasona-
BILE person that, with our present power, it can
not be very difficult to destroy that one army.
Writers in Richmond may refuse to see this,
and politicians in our Northern cities, blinded
by party zeal, may refuse to examine the facts
as they are but no one disposed to use his
eyes can deny, that the government which has
reduced the immense power Of the rebellion
down to what is left Of 1t can by only ordinary
exertion finish the business for that crippled
remnant
With the military situation reduced to the
simple issue in Virginia, we find that matters
even there are. in the position that we could
desire. Lee cannot apparently spare an effec-
tive force to strike for the Weldon road, lest he
should weaken bis line at other vital points,
and thus put himself even more completely
within Grants power. He is helpless except
for stolid resistance there is no longer any
offensive power in the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia; it stands at bay, the only one of all the
rebel armies that seems disposed to make the
last ditch bloody one. 1t is with the govern
ment to do the rest. Give Grant the requisite
number Of men, and let him go in and finish it,
and put the confederacy out of its misery Our
war policy is the simplest that government
ever had: it is simply sending men to Grant.

That is spoken in the language which

should be discharged at The end OF two

of solemen agreement, by arbitrary force,
and without law, they are detained for
another year. Instead of an indignant

Important News which thS PeO-
pIe have not been Permitted
TO know.
We learn this morning, that an import
ant letterof HoRAcE GREELEY's concern
ing the Peace negotiations has been sup
pressed. It is easy enough to conjecture
the reason why The rejection by LIN
COLIN Of all terms Of Peace which do not
include Abolition, and his svowed de-
termination to prosecute the war solely
for the freedom Of the negro, has opened
the eyes of the people, and there is danger
of their rising Indignantly and en- nasse
aud demanding a changeo Of both men aud
measues. Il is known that in this GREE
LEY sympathizes with tho people. Hence,
they will not let the public know what he
has to say concerning the matter.
Again We are advised by II dispatch
from Petersburg, that "the report OF
GRANTS death is contradicted. Now,
if there was such report, it must have
been confined to exclusive circles in the
vicinity Of Washington.

ported engagement between the Keersargc
