The Last Year Of the War.

In view ofthe situation in the east
and the prospects before us, we repro
duce the following from the Richmond
Examiner of the 23d of April:
If we hold our own in Virginia until
summer is ended, the North power OF
mischief everywhere will be gone. II
we lose, the South's capacity for resist
ance will be broken The Confederacy
has ample power to to keep its place in
Virginia if its means are employed with
energy and consistency; and this is the
last year of the war, whichever wins.
A week or two VIII determine the
final result determine whether the
work so gioriously begun, will, or will
not end in the capture of the rebel capt
tai We believe it will; and then we
shall expect to see the rebels gracefully
yield, and abandon the contest. They
will have no hope, and should lay down
their arms.
There is no doubt but that Lee had
al his army, save a small force, in
North Virginia and having been driv-
en- from his intrenchments, he cannot
hopo to hold his own in the open field.
Ifhe returns to the works at Richmond,
he is lost, as Butler will prevent his
egress to the southwark, while Grant
closes in on the north

Less than a month intervenes, TIL
the Baltimore Union Convention will
assemble, and select candidates to be
presented to the country, who shall
represent the views of the Union people,
regardless Of past political differences,
upon minor points 1t is extremely
desirable that the delegates to that
body be liberal, and confne themselves
to the one great issue of preserving the
Union, and the removal Of the only
impeachment to its perpetuity, that all
patriots may unite in the support OF
the candidates nominated.
No side issues should be allowd TO
embarrass the canvass THY should
be.postponod, sill the Union has been
restored the perpetuity Of the repub-
lie established; and the rebellion sup
pressed When we have a country.
hen VIC can discuss the method OF
administering the government; but let
us settle the first issue, 80 that all pos
sibility Of further hostile strife shall be
removed
Everywhere we see evidence that the
Convention will he harmonious one
and as to a division of the Union party
after the nominations-tha is impos
sible. We have full faith in the pub
lie patriotism; it will allow no per
sonal preferences to interfere with
the paramount object-the salvation OF
the country.

MunchauSen Again.

In view Of the events now transpi-
ring, we quote the following from the
Baltimore correspondent of the n. Y.
World, written about ten days since, as
= sample Of the hopes entertained by
the Copperhead faction, Of the ability Of
the rebels to invade the North:
learn on good authority that the
President and Secretary of War, as
well as General Halleck, all disbelieve
the fact that the rebels have any idea
of invading the North on large scale
during the present year. They predi-
cate this disbelief on the alleged fact
that such an invasion is impossible on
account of want of men to undertake
it, owing to the supposed circumstance
that so many confederate troops viii be
required at the South for the defence
of important cities, and for defensive
warfare at points in the South and
Southwest. This il a grave mistake on
the part Of the ADMINISTRATION. If the
important strategic points at the South
and the chief southern cities were in
the same defenceless condition now
that they were two years ago, it might
indeed be necessary for the rebels TO
keep the bulk of their forces there for
their defence. But such is not the case.
In their preparations for defence du-
ring the whole war, the rebels have
acted as if there opponents were led by
NapOleons and Nellingtons, and as if
there operations were directed by the
most sagacieus craftsmanship. During
the two years that the administration
has wasted in its overland campaigns
against Richmond, and in its attempts
to take Charleston, they have fortified
their chief cities and strategic points TO
an extent of which we have no concep-
ton at the North, and which we can
never realize until we attack them in
earnest Then we shall find what a
people who are in earnest can do in two
years time
If the rebels only could have invaded
the North, the Copperheads would
have been delighted. Could a squad
of the followers Of JEFF Davis have
taken possession of the polls at all the
precincts at the North, Vallandigham
or Mcclellan might have been elected
President; and then the South would
be recognized
The above is not an expression of
facts, as the events of last week demon
strate; but Of the hopes entertained by
the Copperhead faction They draw
on their desires, and publish them to
the world as information obtained
through reliable channels. We know
that they have peculiar facilities for
getting information from their friends
in Dixie; there is a sympathy between
the rebels North and South; the same
that exists between the patronized and
the patron and what is asserted in the
South, is re-echoed by sympathizers in
the North; but nevertheless, we cannot
accept Jiisstcr and talsehood for truth

America and the sew Empire of
Mexico.

The Paris Temps, of the Dist April,
says: "a singular error committed by
the Moniteur this morning, shows that
the official journals can lay no more
claims TO infallibility than the common
run of newspapers. The Moniteur de
clares that the mails from New York
bring no news which merits attention
But we read in the American dispatches
of the Times that the Chamber of Rep
resentatives st Washington unanimous
ly voted on the 4th of April, a resolu-
ton, proposed by Mr.. Winter Davis, to
the effect that the United States can
never recognize or tolerate a monarchy
in Mexico. The independence Beige
gives the same news, with a variation,
according to which the Congress has
simply protested against a monarchy
established with the assistance of Eu-
ropean Power. Whichever may be
light, we can only believe it an advert
ance Of the Moniteur. It cannot have
wished to suppress news, which is by no
means unexpected, and the Importance
of which must not moreover be exag-
gerated. The Chamber of Representa-
tiYes st Washington is not the Ameri-
can Government The President is
much more independent of Parliament
than the Queen Of England. The resolu-
ton we are announcing is not SO much
an act az an indication. We may, be-
sides, be certain that the United States
will leave Mexico tranquil while the
civil war is unfinished. As to the event
ualities which may arise after the re-es-
Enlistment of the Union, the Emperor
Macmillan would have been very i'm
prudent had he not already thought of
them; and as he has accepted the Crown
we must conclude that he considers
himself prepared to brave--the hostility

mo Radicals and tse TnIon Party.

Tho Radicals and ire tnl9n Parly.
For some time past the oopperhead
press have been jubilant over the pros
psct Of split in the Union party,
which would allow them to come in and
elect their President. Fremont, they
insisted, would be candidate at all
events; and that he would secure a
large vote; and then if the enemies Of
the country could only unite, there was
a prospect Of their success.
We confess we have entertained no
fears on this suject. We claim to have
some knowledge Of the views Of the
radicals; we are readers Of their lead
ing papers, both English and German;
and we have always felt convinced that,
however much personal animosity they
may feel toward President Lincoln,
they would sink it for their country 8
good As to Fremont VIC have never
doubted but he would submit to the
decision Of the Baltimore Convention,
be the nominee who it might A truer
AID nobler patriot than he does not
I've; and he would do nothing to ieop-
ardize the Union cause
We have now something like an off
cal declaration by the German Rad
Gals as to what they propose to do. A
large meeting was recently held at the
T Irner Hall, in Cincinnati, at wlich
speeches were made by several well
known men, both from Missouri and
Ohio. We copy the following from a
report of the proceedings:
Mr.. PretOrius, of st. Louis, said:
When Fremont is chosen by the
people as the standard bearer of the
flag of the republic, it will float over
land and sea, and be a terror to the
tyrants of Europe. What Fremont did
in Missouri, no other man could have
done Coming there without money
and without troops, the prestige of his
name in few weeks brought to him a
splendid army. Now, we have to make
up our army by bounty patriotism, and
if this fails, the Northwestern Gov
ernors, order out the militia of their
States. We are for Fremont, because
he is for the great Monroe doctrine, and
true to freedom We in Missouri know
of no better man. If you of Ohio know
one, name him, that we may make
him President, and secure the future
welfare Of the republic Capt Stengel
SYiewed the bargain-and-sale articles
n the Volksblatt, which charged that
the Cleveland Convention was called
to strike hands between the Radicals
and Copperheads He said it was the
desire Of the Radicals to elect Fremont,
but they would not go for a peace
Democrat or Mcclellan, in any event
If it became evident that the contest
lay really between the Baltimore nomi-
nee and the COpperhead nominee, they
would support tho Union candidate,
even though he should be Lincoln.
The sentiments of Capt Stongel were
fully endorsed by the meeting. Dele
gates were appointed to the Cleveland
Convention, to be held on the 18th of
May; and the men chosen are not such
as will give aid and comfort to the
enemy, either by treachery, or i'm
practicability

ON Saturday most dastardly murder
and daring robbery were committed
four miles South of Brentwood. Three
citizens of the adjoining county of
Williamson, named Joshua W. Owen
Jno. Owen and - Edmondson. came
30 the city on Saturday and sold some
mules. After transacting their bust
ness, they left Nashville in the after
noon for home, and were followed by
two young men, who turned out 10 be
desperate cut threats. When nearly
home the two young men attacked Mr..
Jno. Owen and Mr. Edmondson. Mr..
Joshua W Owen having struggled be
hind They robbed Mr.. Jno. owen of
a fine gold watch and searched Mr.
Edmondson, and then let them 60. In
returning the robbers met Mr.. Joshua
W. Owen and demanded his money.
Owen resisted their attack. when they
drew their pistols and fired four balls
through his head killing him instantly.
ter searching the remains Of Mr..
Owen the scoundrels mounted their
horses and rode Oh but afterwards
rybbed a marketman named Fly. Il
Is surmised that the robbers knew the
first named gentlemen had sold mules
and thought they had money about
them, but the mules had not been paid
for.
