The additional election returns which Tepub-

the defeat of the Democracy was a. complete
as that of Lee at Petersburg. In comparing
the returns for 1864 and 1865, il will be
found that there are hardly half dozen

four Members Of Congress, but each of the 81

THE NATIONS ABILITY TO PAY
THE WAR DEBT.

Ever since the war began, formidable body
Of men, hostile TO the Government and favor
able to the Rebellion, has predicted the ruin
Of the country by the weight Of its debt.
Chorusing with them Internationally, but mis-
chieyously, vast number Of loyal souls, timid
IN the midst Of great Disturbances and rcyolu-
tionary movements, and shamelully misedu

after month, year after year Of loads of debt
that the mind was not only unaccustomed to
contemplate but its mathematical comprehen-
sion could not grasp-thc sudden and heavy
intrusion Of direct Tax to whose increase 10
limits could be assigned-the vastness of the
war, and the promise Of its duration
for years and years, all kindled in
the minds of host of loyal and disloyal
throughout the country an apprehension of the
total ruin Of the Nation. They uttered cries of
distress. They published their fears. They
moaned their warnings. They anchored TO
windward in Gold, Diamonds, and Farm Mort
gages.- They secretly placed away choice bits
of property for the eliminating day of national
and perhaps social ruin. Gold went up under
the slowly rising tide Of dstrust Of the solvency
Of the Government and despair Of the resources
Of tho country and the power of the People,
The War Loans dragged. Federal securities
went down. The credit of the Government as
q purchaser in open market declined. Green

Forks were carried, the White Oak and Boyd
town Roads were both gained, large body Of
Rebel infantry was cut off from Lees main
army, and at night Sheridan was able tele.
graph Gen. Grant that he was n rear of the
Rebel lines and earhworks which protected the
Southside Road.
Immediately came the genera assault along
our whole Petersburg line, and everywhere win
the same success. The battle OF Sunday gave
us Petersburg aud Richmond both, and sent
Lees army hurrying toward Burkesville. What.
ever munitions and stores Lee had previously
rot away from his capital might have been safe
" sent On the railroad, but whatever had not
gone on Saturday was captured. And 1t Is sun
uncertain whether Lee left Richmond soon
enough to make good his retreat even to Burkes'
vile.
1t is supposed Lee will endcavor to effect q
final junction with Johnston, but that is a matter
about which Gen. Sherman has something to
say. There can be no doubt that the columns
of the latter were in motion before Richmond
fell and that whatever combinations depended
upon Johnston must be contingent on the &C.
itiyitv of Sherman. Nor is there any safe line OF
defense or of communication remaining to the
two Rebel armies. The movements from the
West into North Carolina and Western Virginia
begin to assume great Importance In reference
TO the Richmond campaign, and especially in
reference 70 any purpose Lee may have ot es
Gaping through the Blue Ridge and so entering
on grand Southwestern campaign. II look
as if the passes of that great mountain range
were likely to be Distracted by force con
siderable enough to delay the enem!

We attach no special Importance TO tn
story of a grand march by the Rebel army
through North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, and thence across the river t
Texas, but it is worth remarking that sucl
a scheme, if seriously entertained, mus
carly find obstacles in is way. Gen. Thoma

THE GREAT MOVEMENT.

Gen. Grant was at Sutherland Station, ten
miles beyond Petersburg, on the SouthSide Road
Yesterday morning Gen. Sheridan was in adj
vance, pressing close on the rear of Lees re-
treating columns--wherever that may be. We
have as yet no definite accounts Of the line
which the Rebel army took, but it is

credited, about one half Lees forces have been
captured or are struggling through the country
waiting to be picked up Lee has an army still,
and keeps it on hand as he falls back, but il is
an army so reduced in numbers and spirit that
if it can be brought to stand-stll and forced
into line of battle it must speedily dissolve be-
fore the onset of Grants victorious and eager
soldiers. s....-
Details of the weeks work are still lacking,
but the general plan Of the campaign scear. 1t
is clear also that Gen. Sheridan has taken the
brunt Of the work on him, and that he has
added frcsher wreath to the laurels he won and
wore in the Shenandoah Valley. The task
assigned him was nothing less than to turn
the right flank Of Lees army. With that end
in view, Sheridan set out last Wednesday
for Dirwiddie Court- House-a point far
enough to the south and west to insure him
liberty to maneuver. Through that place passes
the Boydtown Plank-road. Beyond it to the
northwest is the White Oak Road, and on the
Boydtown Road Just north Of Gravelly Run are
the famous Five Forks, hereafter memorable
as the scene of one of the decisive battles of
the Rebellion. At this point the Rebels had
constructed al elaborate series Of works extend
ing three miles, and commanding by the differ
ent roads there centering the approaches from
the southwest 10 the Southsde Road. The
position was the key to Petersburg and so of
Richmond. t.rrr ,t,.
From Dinwiddie Courthouse, Sheridan
made several Intellectual attempts to move up
the BoydtOwn Road and to reach the White Oak
Road-in other words to get in the rear OF Lee
and roll him up. He tried it little on Thurs
day, with no success. He tried it again on Fri
day with Warren's Corps to help, and Jared no
better than before. In fact the result Of Fri
days battle was q serious check, and the
Fifth Corps under WaTen's handling suf-
fered itself to be driven from all the ground it

Amid the universal rejoicing there is one dis
cordant voice. Mr.. Mayor Gunther's want OF
patriotism nobody doubted; could not some
kind friend have saved him from making, III
his message to the Common Council, his want OF
sense equally apparcntl That he should rejoice
at the discontinue of the Rebels was not 10 he
expected. 1t was not to be expected that he
would simulate a sympathy he does not
possess, or pretend to disguise that which
ne heartily feels. But to attempt
to CLOAK incivism in the garb of humanity, Is
as'foolish as it is futile. 1t deceives nobody and
only shows that the Mayor is as unwise as he
is upatrotic. We do not believe he means 10
insult the hundreds of thousands OF people
whose hearts for two days past have been hliea
with Joy to overlooking; for to suppose
the insult supposes also some degree OF
logical faculty of which bis Honor can
not be suspected. fbo great pOpu-
lar heart is stirred with devout thankful
ness. akin to the deepest religious iervor, that
the wickedest attempt to subvert the, best ana
most benefcent government that the world has
ever known seems, at length, abortto be finally
and effectually dcfeated that the destruction
of human Me is about to be stayed; that the
day of peace is about to break upon the thick
darkness of war that for four years has over
Swallowed the land. But the Mayor can see
nothing in all this but display of vain glory,
an exhibition of selfish triumph, love OF graft
fed vengeance. 1t is not worth while even to
be indignant at this wretched blunder. Mere
sympathy with Rebels in such alcausc as ours
NAV move to anger; but when that sympathy
is coupled with a want Of discrimination so I'M
fortunate, with the absence Of the commonest Oh
common-sense SO pitabc, the feeling il excite
is too full Of contempt to rise to indignation.
