NORTHERN OPINION OF THIS WAR.
The Chicago Tnnes one OF the leading
papers opposed To Lincoln, speaks thus Of
the war aud the prospects of its continu-
ance:
What inducements have the South to
give up the contest and return to the I'm
ion? What have they to gain by it? What
have they that they will not lose by il?
Do not the possession OF al, their rights OF
property and all their civil rights depend
upon successful rcsistance1 What is sub
mis-, ion but acceptance of onlawry? Are
ttsy not placed in that position where ex-
termination is preferable to submissionl Is
anything left for them but desperation to
the eud.
II is imma,erial how many or how sig.
nal victories we may obtain, SO long us The
Abolition policies of the war are retained,
they will not bring peace; they will bring
no accommodation OF the difficulties. The
war will continue while the policies CON
tinue H may, and we doubtless shall
reduce stilI further the boundaries of the
rebel territory, but as the rebel line shall
be cicumscribed. the desperation Of the
contest will be increased. It will become
literally u war Of determination on one side
and Of self preservation on. the other.
There is no earthly way of peace and
the reunion but withdrawing the Aboli-
tion policies-none. We surely believe
that if they wero twithdrawn, and this
wicked Administrator at Washington
were out Of the way-or Administration
as has been justly sssd, as incapable of ma
king honorable peace as of conducting sue
cess,uI war--the war could be closed in
ninety days.

on information that Sheridan was
withdrawing his forces, portion hav-

proposed that Early should rush out

army and fall suddenly upon Sheri.

could get into position. Sheridan was
in Washington at the time, consulting

informed that there was an attack on
the rear af his army. He FASTENED

ly twenty men, and reach his retreat

general rout. He soon turned his ar

markable achievement of the war and
