PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

II has been stated that ever since Shcr-
man commenced his march from Chattanoo-
ga, Joe Johnston had appeared famous
trap fos him, and would catch him in it be-
yond doubt. While we have waited pa
tiently for the springing of his trap John
ston has been superseded by Hood.
Now let us examine the matter, and see
how affairs stand with regard to that grand
attack which is said to be preparing for us.

pillov's division 1000
Whceler's division, 5000
Roddv's division. 1000 d"
Forests division. 5000
8. d. Lees corps, 10000
From Charleston, 5000 "
Total $4,000 men.
Add TO this o full corps of Lees Virginia
army, say O,o00 men, and we have the fol-
lowing result:
Hoods, as above estimated, $1,000
Kirby Smith's troops, $4,000
Detachment from Virginia, 10000
Total, 100000
This is largcr than any rebel army in the
southwest has ever been or is likely to be.
The largest rebel army ever gathered there
did not exceed 10000 men, namely: Bragg's
force at Murfrcesboro. But allowing the
above estimate to stand, it still does not
reach the aggregate of Sherman's army, and
we can reinforce the latter thus:
ROusscaus column, 10000
A. j. Smiths column, 10000
At Huntsville 5000
At Chattanooga &C., 10000
Sherman's army, 10000
Total, 100000
Gen. Sherman, however, will no. need
these rcinforccmcnts to enable him to mair-
tain his position. His army is superior in
every way to any that can be mustered
against it in tho southwest Its prestige is
equal to an army of fifty thousand men, and
the generals in command are so far superior
to their opponents that there is no compa-
risou between them. This splendid body of
men has now maintained its reputation and
its triumphant career for three years under
Haileck. Grant. Buell.. Rosencrans and Sher-
man. and has beaten in succession A. s.
Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg and 10. John
ston.
1t is quite manifest that the rebels are
thoroughly alarmed at the irresistible pro-
grcss Of Sherman, and that they have at
length determined to change their policy.
By the removal of Johnston they have signi
fed this, and already Hood has commenced
| fighting severely, though with no better
fortune than his predecessors.
The operations of the war on both sides
are now conducted in three great zones, of
which the first is composed o: the States of
Virginia and the Carolinas, the second of
the States OF Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi. with northern Florida, and the third
of Arkansas. Louisiana and Texas. In the
first zone. where the commanders are Grant
and Lee, the armies fight in Virginia, with
subsidiary actions by detachments in the
! Carolinas. the fate of the whole field depend
/ ing upon the contest in Virginia. In the
second zone, where the commanders are
! Hood and Sherman, the armies fight in
Georgia, with subsidiary actions in Alabama
and Mississippi by detachments. In the
third zone, where the commanders are Can
by and Kirby Smith, the armies fight in
Arkansas by detachments. 1t will thus be
perceived that the fate of the war now de-
4 pends upon the crushing of the three rehe-
armies led by Lee, Hood and Kirby Smith
! for if they he disposed of the rest must sub
/ nit of course.

of Virginia, who are at the Clifton House,
on the Canada side of Niagara, have been

Horace Greedy, on the subject of peace.
They were not authorized by the rebel Gov
ernment to offer negotiations for a treaty of
peace, but they assume to speak for jeff
Davis & Co., and asked for safe conduct
to Washington to see the President. The
