patton and control of the States of Alabama and
Mississippi
1t used 10 be said that the extent of the Rebel
territory made its conquest impossible. Since
the vast operations which divided it by the con-
quest of the Mississippi River and which more
recently have riyen aSllnder its armies east and
wcst, the maxim is likely to be reversed; and
when the Rebel ard Anglo. Rebel organs instead
of predicting the triumph begin to cast about
for excuses for the approaching defeat OF the In
srrgentS We shall BE- told that the extent OF the
Conredcracy made Is defense impossible. The
genius of Grant and Sherman has reyOlutionized
already many Tell-tried rule Of war. The
triumphal march Of Sherman across Georgia en-
larged the limits OF military possibilities, and
revealing The internal weakness Of the Confed-
eracy, will stand hereafter not less as the eyl-
dcuce Of that commanders consummate ca
pacty for war. than ~ the assurance that the
superior resources of the Government can be
made cifrctual against all the immense natural
advantages possessed by its enemies The
brlliancc of Sherman'S success throws radiant
light on the path which Thomas Is about to
tread and tho anxiou, apprehension which
attended the unknown steps Of the former Is
exchanged for an undoubting confidence that
his successor will repeat with comparative ease
that unprecedented feat Of arms.

TIE BATEMAN GoNCERT,-The concert
which takes place tonight ut Washing
ton Hall promises to be the most bril-
liant musical treat ereJ afforded TO our
citizens. This may seem like q reckless
assertion, but we are fully satisfied OF its
exact truth. The verdict of all who
have heard Mile Parepa sing, is that OF
unqualified admiration. She has created
in the eastern cities an enthusiasm SINH
lar to that produced by Jenny Lind, and
received such praise as has been accord
ed to no other songstress since the visit
ofthe famous Swedish Nightingale, >
She was in Pittsburg last week, and
achieved a wonderful triumph. The
press of the city has been unusually
lavish in its commentator of her sing
inc. The Commercial, of Saturday morn
ing, says:
Increased delight npon the repeated
hearing of an artist is certain evidence OF
Genuine merit. If the first concert was
y complete success, the second must be
a perfect ovation. Mile
Parepa is undoubtedly the greatest vo-
calist which has visited us since Jenny
Lind. and while she can boast OF. the
mastery command ofvoice and brilllancy
of execution of the fair Swede, she tar
surpasses the latter in that inestimable
Gift of nature, a glorious voice. One OF
The most beautiful effects imaginable
was produced by the combination of the
voice and cornet in the "Alpen Horn"
especially III the last verse where the
echo tones fingered on tho ear like
Horns of Elfland family blowing" 1t
was delicious. Her encore song Five
O'Clock in the morning" ELECTED double
epc0re. and was rendered with indescriba-
ble archness andRdiCete. Herr Carl Rosa
confirmed our favorable first impression
by his imprisoned rendering of Ernst.s
"EIepie.o Nothing could he more poeti-
cally sad and tender OF Hr. Levys cor
net PLAYING we can only say it brings the
audience TO their feet as one man, and
puts them in the best possible humor
with the performers and themselves and
the rest OF mankind.
