The Last Hope Of tho rebellion.


Mr.. Swinlon of the New York Times,
has long aud exhaustive article in
that paper, showing what progress tho
war has made. aud what grounds of
hope remain to the North aud South -
He conolndeS as follows:
The war is near its cloRo. The pres
eut font OF the rebellion. mcnscing
though be, is nothing more than a
mask, concealing The hollownesS and
roueness within. The South is liIteralIy
exhausted - exhausted Of that without
which it Is impossible 70 carry on war
--exhousted of mon. AS Gen, Grant
the other day punrcu,ly said, the rebos
"have robbed the cradle and the grave
to reinforce their armies" Out Of an
available lighting population Of three
quarters OF a million. with which tho
war was inausuraled, they have saved
an effective torce Of one hundred or one
hundred aud fifty thousand mon. The
rest are in their graves, in the hospitals,
disabled or prisoners in our hands
These ore the forlorh hopes of the re
bellion.
urterritorial coHqucsts have teclai
mod three fourths Of the area originally
claimed in the li1iils of tho Confederacy.
The Confederacy stands now twice bi-
sected--its great lines of communication
cut or in our hands. Besides its resour
ces Of all kinds are all but exhausted, -
The desperate men at its head may con
tinuO TO struggle for some time longer
they may for a while oppose formidO'
tle front 10 our bows--but the rebellion
is doomed. ltS struggle will be the
frantic final efforts OF the gladiator be-
fore be falls down exhausted and mani
mata.
The leaders Of the rebellion hayo cca
scd TO see any hope for their cause in
arena Of war. They are now looking to
the arena ofpolitics, A party has been
Set up whose creeis and aims have
their entire sympathy and moral sup
port. The platform Of that party has
nothing but expressions IF conlumely for
the sacred war, the recital Of which has
been made; for JEFF Davis and his crew
irhas hclbing but s1pre6si00s'of.syg
thy and respect. The people OF the
North have now before them the momsn
tous question OF determining, by their ac.
tion, whether they will justify all the
precious blood shed in this war by car
rying it triumphanlly through and
crowning it with glorious and honora'
blc peace, OF whether by base surrender
they will projccI it into history as q
monument Of nations folly.

Gen. Schenk made speech at the
Cincinnati meeting on Saturday even.
ing. 1t is very short, but humorous, and
we copy it:
General Schenk on being called be-.

General Garfield who w,sto make The

two hours length, made at MiddleIown

he felt like undertaking in one day. Ii
was cheering and invigorating however.
to see such vast assembIage Of citizens
present, and SO deeply interested in the
questions discussed.
He felt like taking his friend Garfield
TO task on one point. Why should lie
attack the Chicago Democrats so sharply? =?
Hadn't they enough trouble already!-
Why should he by such cogent Orgu'
mcnis, be hunting the poor devils from
corner 10 conet, as if they were not al
ready worried more than human nature
could we'll endure? Why, they know
not whether they are peace men or war
men. They don't comprehend. their
own platform. They cant tell whether
II looks TO prosecution Of the war or to
coWMdly surrender. IL they look at
tLeir candidate they have the some diff
Guilty. II seems as they were pop in
one end Of the bag and pig in the other,
There is no comprehensive or middle
ground of agreement among them, by
which they are enabled 10 settle the
question what their politics are. While
We are unanimous and united 10 sustain.
ing the Union, and maintaining the
Constitution anu the laws, they are ell
at sea. Why press them? Give them
little more lime. A week ago they were
agsinst the draft. Now they are silent
on the subject A week ago they %ere
ranting about erbitrsry arrests. Now
they have nothing to say against il
