THE REBELLION ABOLISHED BIZ RESOLUTION
A resolution was adopted In the House Of Re-
representatives. on Monday as follows:-eRe-
solved, That the rebellion be- and the same is
hereby, abolished The best way to begin
would be to abolish the causes thus:-Take
poor old Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Lloyd
Garrison, George Thompson, and put them into
one bag, and then take (when caughD JEFF
Davis, Bob Toombs, Fernando Wood, Ben
Wood, and put them into another bag; place
both bags in Theoretically sealed iron pot,
attach thousand tons weight to the latter,
and sink pot and contents in the deepest part
OF tho Atlantic Ocean. That would settle the
causes. And the way to abolish the rebellion
itself would b. to take an equal number Of Sc
cessionists and aboiitionists, or the whole batch
Of them together. and compel them to listen to
. repetition Of Everett's GRAFTON ON Washing
ton. If that wouldn't finish them, and there
bellion too, we don't know what would.

CONGRESS RIGHT AT LAST ON THE REBELLIoN-
The House Of Representatives begins to show
signs Of hopeful revival in intelligence and
patriotism. II has unanimously adopted Sc
ries Of resolutions declaring that the rebellion
10 wicked and inexcusable that 1t should
be effectually put down, and the causes which
led to 1t permanently removed, and that
there is no middle ground on which any good
citizen or true patriot can stand. In adopting
these resolutions unanimously the House has
responded to the Sentiment Of the people, who
are in favor Of the policy Of supporting any
administration until the rebellion Is put down,
and its causes, which have been defined to be
secession and abolition" are removed. But
these resolutions indirectly reflect discredtably
upon the course Of the present administration
in the conduct Of the war. They imply want
Of capacity, an utter imbecility, on the part OF
the managers Of the contest, and intimate that
the men In power are not able to accomplish
either OF the required ssrvicss-to put down
the rebellion or to remove its causes. There
fore IL becomes necessary that new men must
be brought forward to secure these aims and
to meet the vital national questions that have
arisen during the war. The people will fail to
6nd in the lists Of old, corrupt politicians
names suitable for the crisis, and will rally
upon some distinguished military man, such o.
General Grant or General Mcclellan, as the
one Ht for the emergency. With either Of these
names before the country for the next Presi
dency there. will DO an uprising among the
people never before Witnessed in any land The
enthusiasm will be boundless, . triumphant
election will be secured, and the country saved
from many failure years Of convulsions and
calamities.

spring campaign so far are not altogether en-
couraging. President Lincoln's experimental
Florida expedition, to begin with. has turned
out one of the most stupid and inexcusable
blunders Of the war; Next, the return to Tun-
mel Hill Of the advanced forces of General
Thomas from the mountain gorge in front Of
Dalton, Georgia, is explained Is due to their
discovery that Joe Johnston, in superior
strength, he'd massed his army at Dalton. and
was ready for q general battle, and we were
not. Next, the early retreat Of General Smiths
cavalry expedition from Northern Mississippi
back into Tennessee, pursued by the enemy, does
not look well. Next, the Sherman Alabama
expedition, by the failure Of General Smith to
effect junction with it, is, we fear, placed in o
position somewhat critical; and, next, as we
hear nothing whatever from Mobile, we must
conclude that Admiral Farragut has found that
he can do nothing in seven feet water with
vessels drawing fourteen feet.
This is not o very cheering picture for the
opening of the spring campaign. Nor does this
snow storm which visited us yesterday sug-
gest an easy road to travel for the Army of
the Potomac, now in motion against the rebel
army of Lee and the rebel capital for in all
probability this snow storm here yesterday was
rain storm the day before on the Rapidan.
We presume, however, that the government has
carefully provided for success in this movement
against oil probable contingencies, and that all
those other military operations alluded to may
be set down as mere diversions to distract the
attention and divide the forces of the enemy, in
view of this main design against General Lee
and Richmond.
The wide dispersion Of General Grants
fsroes, too, looks As If the War Office had adopt
ed q new programme, which will require Grant
to play a secondary part for some time, in or
der that be may be eclipsed by securing to
General Meade the glory of the capture Of
Richmond. Very well; General Grant has
earned reputation which cannot be shaken;
and If the administration has thought 1t poiiti.
cally expedient to hold him back now, so as to
give General Meade and his heroic army a
chance, the country will not object, should
General Meade be successful. But the disas-
tiers and misfortunes which have almost invari-
ably attended the strategy and tactics Of Presi-
dent Lincoln and the War ONCE render the
public mind somewhat anxious concerning the
issue Of the present movement Of the Army Of
the Potomac. We hope soon to receive good
news from Virginia; but we are prepared to
hear that it was only another reconnaissance.
