AItOsether Likely.

The correspondent of the World, de-
scribing an interview with some rebel of
fcers under the truce to bury the dead,
after the assault of Petersburgh, says Of
the rebels: -
They talked in the most confident
manner of the War being finished this
summer or fall, and that If Mr. Lincoln is
defeated this tGtt an arrangement t0iU be
made Dhseh 10iH secure peace. Many
questions were asked as 10 the prospect of
elccting an anti-abolitionist, anu as To who
thecaudidate was likely to be.
There is no doubt ut all that the rebels
expect just such peace as they want ii
Mr.. Li,.eola is defeated" We don't often
find So frank an admission of this belief in
Peace Democratic Journals. What the
rebels want to have IS independence, and
they know that they will get it If Lin
coin is defeated.
