We must now wait FOR what nothing but
time c4n reach usvth" solution Of the great
problem Of Secession. ttas this terrible drama
b,tn simply war. or is it q reYGlntiOn ? IT.
it Is wor, the end must he ne;ir-li, indeed,
it has not been reached already-for, bey yoml
The feeble f,,ce under Johnston n Raleigh
and the r~ui.ant of the Richmond garrison
mnder lee the South has no organized armies
in the field, nor is it probable that any can
he raised. This stage Of the great struggle
h;,. been accomplished. The North. by its
de,er:nned will, and lately, it should DC ad-
dod, Ly the excellence OF its Generals, has
oc.rcome the South, has defeated lis armies,
and occupied It's principal towns. 1t has had
.argreatcr difficulty in doing so than was an.
ti:ipatc,'. and it appeared, indeed, at times rs
if even ths portion Of the work could never
be accomplished at all. Ba.. If the exlaus-
tipa consequent on this protre;ted struggle
Should terminate the resStanre Of the South
altogether, it may be fortunate t"r the North
that Richmond was not CAPTURED t,l tue 9Th
year OF The war.
