The Coming Struggle.

There are many indications and strong prob
abilities that the impending struggle between
lie Federal and rebel armies will be the ending
struggle of the war-in which case, ii will still
be an imp ending struggle TO the iulps of treason
and rebellion Who reeklessly, and with deyillsh
determination to rule or ruin, plunged our
country in The horrors of war, and who, like
the original secessionist, Lucifer, have sealed
their own doom, and must abide the conse-
quences. There has been 20 period in the
history of the rebellion which has afforded an
equal promise of definite and fruitful results to
the Union cause. Our armies are flushed with
the achievements Of the past year, affordng a
prestige which is of the first Importance, and
which, with the additional source Of strength
that confidence of soldiers in their commanders
always inspires, should render the Federal
troops invincible On the other hand, the
rebels demoralized by their defeats, and
thousands OF them are only waiting favorable
opportunity to desert the Confederate cause and
take the benefit of The amnesty proclamation.
The hero of Vicksburg, with subordinates of
his own choice, is marshalIng his forces, and
with that unmistakable determination which
has marked his past course-a determination
which refuses to admit the possibility of defeat
Gen. Grant will ere long open campaign
against the enemy of far different character
from any we have had thus far in the war.
That it will be far different in its results-that
it will effectually crush out the rebellion-we
confidently believe for we have faith in that
commander who has erased the word fail from
bis lexicon, and proven its uselessress by every
one of his undertakings in the field, which have
been crowned with success. The hour and
the man. are with us-it only remains to be
seen whether the abilities of "the man" have
been over estimated

The Future of the South.

Those fre-eating and mud sill" despsir g
Souhrons, who, in the beginning OF the war
boased so loudly that they would sweep the
North with fire and sword and "call the roll
OF their slaves 10 the shadow OF the Bunker Hill
monument" are Of late beginning TO discuss a
subject more intimately connected with their
own domain, under the existing state OF affairs
in Dixie. The Richmond Enquirer, in article
intended to show what must be the result to the
South Of the triumph Of the Union armies,
adduces the following historical illustrations
Had Napoleon waged not merely war of
change of dynasty, but one of conquest, IN
Spain and had his country beld a surplus pop
ulation, greedy Of gain and wishing new lands,
the domini9ns of Ferdinand would soon have
become Frank, and the army of invasion would
not have been needed by the army of emigrants
to retain the new possessions. When Pompey
entered the same country, conquered eight
hundred cities and then returned, the republic,
bv force of the laws of war, then recognized,
had no difficulty in holding and governing their
new lands and captures. Behind, and close to
his army Of eighty thousand. armed with the
implements Of war. followed an army of emf
grants five hundred thousand. some say two
millions, strong, armed with the implements Of
agriculture, commerce. peace and permanent
government. The cities became Roman the
lands were divided among the citizens OF the
army of emigration, according TO the sgrarisn
law the army of invasion was safely withdrawn
for new conquests; and Spain. instead of being
an expense to her couQueror, was a source OF
strength and revenue TO Rome. The merchant,
emigrant and land receiver soon relieve the
regiments Of the line and Hindostau and Aus
traa make England rich. Wars for conquest,
supported by heavy population flowing IN TO
seize the new possessions, are cheap and
enriching.
The Enquirer predicts that, if the rebel
armies be beaten and dispersed, the army Of
INVASION" four hundred thousand strong, will
be followed by an army of emigrants, four
millions in plumber, gathered from the 81.
Lawrence to the Mississippi The inevitable
result of the war is becoming apparent to the
mos, fanatical Of the secessionists. as any one
must become aware when he considers the wide
difference between their boasts, a few shor,
years ago, that the war would be carried Oh on
Northern soil, ard their discussion now of the
possibility Of the South being taken possession
of by four millions of emigrants from the land
cf "mrd sills." \ more significant confession
o. the failure of the Confederate cause, and
with it the dream Of great empire founded or
the corner stone of slavery, could rot be made
than this The minds of the Southern people
are becoming prepared for the revolution from
slave to free society which is about to take
place, and which is destined to give wonderful
impetus to its hitherto dormant energies; and
tie masses of them, when freed from the
restraints Of the JET. Davis despotsm, will
welcome the change.

BRAGG AND GRAsT.-Braxton Bragg has
just beea appointed to the highest military
Office under JEFF. Davis, and Ulysses Grant, by
bis appointment as Lieutenant General, assumes
the highest rank OF any officer in the army of
the Union. The respective careers and fortunes
Of 10 two military men could be more opposite
in character than those of these two ranking
officers of the opposing armies. Bragg's name
is synonymous with disaster-Grant's with
victory. The Richmond Examiner says that
Bragg's "career has been q long, unvaried and
complete failure" the very reverse of which
statement would be nearly the truth concerning
Grant Braggs first undertaking of any i'm
portance resulted in his failure at Pensacola
Grants first large action vas his triumph at
Donelson. Braggs last battle was at Chatta
nooga, where bis whole army was routed by
Grant. Against Grants Vicksburg we have
Bragg's Murfreesboro. Against Grants Cham
pion Hills we have Braggs Perryville. Grant
fanked the rebels at Bowling Green and Shell
byville. Grant began operations at Cairo, and
the sweep of his successive victories, as he
marched onward, extended thousand miles.
Bragg once had his army upon the Ohio, and
his successive retreats from there covered
several hundred miles. So we might 90 on
