Thc American War.

The London Times of March 18th says,
spsaking of the American war, ,thatthe North
can. only win by inducing the South to re.en-
ter the Union. I" 1t Is evident already that
the enormous territory Of the Confederate
can never be held by ths Fe<lsrals as foland
il held by Russia, ar Ecnpt'a hy.Aus,ria. The
North has not Tie raqniSite sire.igs tor this,

that is the conviction even Of Si:rman him

In,another article theTimcs says;
= X Mr.. Bright tells US that the English
pross was mistaken On American aifaits and
Is trying to back out of its mistakes.
We aiimit that. we have been mistaken
about American affairs, but it has been il. a
sense exactly contrary to that which ne i'm
,putes us. We oeriuinly have greatly ander-
estimated the resources, the courage and the
teraeitv of THE South. When the war began
we did not. expect The. South would be able 10
offer go determineda resistance to its oppo-
nents we thought that the iumenso fasces
which the North was able To bring into the
6eld must necessarily break through the
weaker line of their opponents. We could
not anticipste--aad We arc not ashamed Of
havin. been dcoeived-the lang series Of
bloody battles which have compelled such a
succession Of Northern generals and armies
the uroess of o weak and despised enemy.
We thought that the Southern line would
have been speedily broken through; that the
nrincips cities of tho Confedsracy woald
probably fall In.o the hands Of the invaders,

mass 51f The people Of the South and the rark

did, merely as the vlcLins and sufferers oil the

not to pursue any policy which would prevent
Experimentation visiting oondigr pun

The President regards as due to the loyal
people of the country and tie thousands of
brave mcn who had fallen in defence Of the
Unio.; during the struggle, and to the claims
ofjustce and freedon throughout, The world,
that treason shonh still be regarded as the
highest crime under OUT Constitution and
Flag, aud that treason should be rendered in.
famous for alltime to come. -. =
While be entertained these views be should

ceiyed and betrayed masses oi4the Southern
people, regarding them as the proper, pale-
rial for rsconstructing the i.,surseut States,
aud to restore them tn their proper, relation
to The government. He would neither recog.
uize nor hold Official communication with
those who had occupied official stations and
acknowledged The sovereignty of thercbel gov

bseif slbjceted and it WAS his determination
to act iii such manner Us would best protect
individual rights and vindica.e the character

AGairs in Macon.

We have couyersed, says the Atlanta Reg
ister, with great many Individuals who have
recently Left Macon. From them we, learn
much of affairs.in that city.
The enemy walk sbeut as if the city and
citizens belong to them, but they. keep good
order. The latter doubtless, is owing 10 the
fact that all whiskey which couldbe discover
ed was destroyed. &C.,.
The lenienc whch>the enemy at first dis
played toward the citizens is giving way, and
the screws are coming down tighter and tigh
er everyday General Wilson undoubtedly
looks for the appointment dfmilitagy Cover
nor Of the State and expects.it. -
The people OF Macon accept their condition
with the best possible grace-but generally
they are sulen and i'll at ease under the re-
strictions they fce' themselves subjected TO-,
and the presence of the enemy.
Llrgc numbers of negroes ARE being drilled
in the old fields in front Of Fiueyille, and the
scrubby growth this side ia alive with them.
They musl have several thousand Of them. A
remarkable feature in this matter is, that
nearly s.l tie negroes arc black. 80.
Very few ade: appea: on the streets aud
| are very decided in their expressions Of dissat.
| isiacti1n ai Iie pres"iiee OF the enemy, Snc OF
their sympathis with our caasp.
The enemy oay t. tid more out-spokcn
.'rebels,' as they call us, than they have found
in any other city they haze visited.
The Telegraph & CGnfederate and the Con-
! federacy lrsVe suspended. and will probably
not resume till after tre .armlsice expires.
Very litte is doing in commercial circles,
.hc s;oves generally remaining closed.
(iocd order is preserved iu- the city. The
st.eetshre patroled nightly by Faderal squads.
Much Of the order that prevails is owing 10
the TACT that all ;he liquor in the city waS de-
sttoyed ry the authorities before occupation.
Persons are permitted to pass freely in and
our of the city, by procuring passports. They
also take in and out of the place anything
they desire.
Gen. Nelson in an order has directed the
| merchants to open their stores, and the Peo'
pie to resume their business as usual. Only
Two or three merchants have asyet done 80.
