From these estimates and opinions the reader

strike first in North Carolina or Georgia; for
it must be remembered that Ia support Of his
movements against Richmond he can bring all
the armies Of the Union into play. Richmond
may be taken through North Carolina. or by

East Tennessee; and should Lee leave either Of
these doors open to strengthen himself In front
and act accordingly. Nor have we any serious
apprehension that the War Once or the Wash

Grant TO interfere with his plans and combina-
tions. Doubtless he has accepted his new posi-
tion with the distinct understanding that he is
to be guided by his own Judgment in managing
the grand campaign upon which he is about to
enter; and believing that. as at vicksburg, he
will follow his own counsels, we anticipate the
most glorious results
MAxMILIAN AND Hrs SEoEsH EosIFs.--It Is
positively asserted as fact that a number of
prominent rebels and secesh sympathizcrs are
prepared to accept titles Of nobility from Maxi
milan J.. Of Mexico and that Ex-senator
Gwin-has already been created duke.
And now, we suppose. we shall have immedi-
ately long and brilliant array Of notables
selected for the Mexican market from the
cream Of rebel society, aud bearing all sorts Of
titles. Look out for his Royal Highness Jeffer-
son Davis. Prince Of Rebels, and heir to the
realms Of the late King Cotton; for ex-Sena-
tor James N. Mason as the Duke de Rinaldo,
Count Palatine OF Cape Cod, and Grand Master
in keeping at Fort Warren, transferred to the
Castle Of Calomel and Xalspa, Mexico; for ex-
Senator Slidcll, Lord Of the Charleston Con-
vention. and Grand Factotum to the late High
cock-a-lorum of the White House; for Viscount
Memminger, Grand Chancellor OF the Exchequer
Of Plaadowt, who, having no sovereigns Of his
own and none for his master, is well prepared
to support the title Of Grand Repudiator Of
Two Dynasties: for ex-senator Robert Toombs,
Marquis de Boomaranz. commander Of the wine
watts of the empire. and Master Of the Roll
Calls on Bunker Hill, &c, &c. The court Of
