Pennsylvania Telegraph:
By our special dispatches from Washington
it will be seen that the survivors of the PennSyl-

with the Army of the Potomac until Richmond
has been captured This action, while it will
sorely test the patience of the friends of the Re-

welcome, still reflects the highest credit on those

cations to God for protection -

Hopeful Signs,

One year ago, on the anniversary of our Nation
ii independence, sftera long and bloody series
Of battles, The Army ofthe Mississippi marcheed
triumphantly into vicksburg, While from their
ranks as the banner Of The Republic was raised
above the Court House dome Of the fallen city,
a swelling chorus broke forth, joined in by every
voice in that vast throng, Well rally round
the Flag, boys 7, While this scene was being
enacted at the rebel stronghold in the North
west, another not less important in its bearings
on our National future was witnessed on the soil
of the free State of Pennsylvania. The flower
of the rebel army, led by its abest officers, in
their attempt to transfer the scene of conflict
from their domain to that of the free States,
were beaten and driven back with loss of men
WHICH proved most deadly blow to the unholy
cause in which they were engaged. 1t was a
glorious day in the annals of our country !;
doubly glorious from the hallowed remembrances
with which the day was already invested. The
power of the rebellion was weakened, its hither-
to invincibe army crushed and had the victory
been followed with decided action before the
enemy had time to re-organize and rally his dis
spirited forces the results would have been much
greater.
A year has passed since that day, and the
Union armies have marched on steadily to vic
tory. Slowly but surely in every quarter they
have gone forward, and beating the enemy each
time on battle-ields of his own selection. have
planted themselves in the heart of their country,
and threaten the few strongholds which are the
last hope of treason. The scene of the war is
transferred from the banks of the Potomac and
the Mississippi to the outworks of the rebel cap
ital, and the heart of the Empire State of the
South. The Hero of Vcksburg, elevated to the
position to which his high deeds enttle him, now
confronts the hitherto invincble leader of the
rebels with his chosen legions, and driving him
and art have rendered doubly strong, now holds
him at bay in the devoted city. In the South
the victorious armies of Sherman are driving
the enemy before them from one stronghold to
another, and that portion of the South which
has hitherto escaped the effects of the war which
horrors. Add to this the capture of Semmes
and the destruction of his piratical vessel, which
has so long been terror to the merchant marine
of the North, and we think the situation is more
cheering, more promising of decisive success
than at any time in the history of the rebellion.
With Richmond once in possession and
Lee army crushed we have everything to hope.
The power of the South has been exerted to the
utmost in this campaign, and if it proves fail
on her part all further hope of successful re-
sistance must be dispellcd. With Grant and
Sherman to lead gallant armies, doubly
strong in the business of cause, we can have
no fears as to the result.
