REBELLION in ninety days. In all Yal;kecdom there
were probably not a dozen persons who dill not be-
itc1e, las: April, that Grant would take Richmond
anal crush the rebellion before the first of June.
Wien deferred hope had sckcned the heart, and even
'oroc Yankees had begun to think that, after all tho
iob Of crushing the rebellion might not be accom-
