FROM NEW YORK PAPERS.
The World editorislly advises the South
to lay down its arms at once and t5ust tc
chances.
The Times editorisIly says in all proba-
bility our future relations with Mexico will
be determined mainly by circumstances
quite beyond our control Whatever the
policy of our Government sixty days will
not eispse after the disbandonment of our
armies before Msximillian sees the CLEAN
of American bayonets. Many soldiers af
Ter abandonment of our army viii doubt
less go to Mexico and join Juarez.
The Tribune's Washington special says
a sub committee from the Committee on
the Conduct of the War, consisting of Rep
resentatives Julian and Gooch, is to visit
Fort Fisher this week 10 make examinations
on the spot about disputed Dnin'- VVHcern-
ing Buffers movemenJs.
rKUBABLE CAUSE AND EFFECT nF LEE s
ATT4eK.
The Times Washington special says it
is the general accepted opinion of Lees at
tack that it Wss made under the spur of
desperate necessity, and having failed, the
evacuation of the Petersburg lines aud Of
Richmond itself, cannotlong be postponed.
Military men look on it as a mask to cover
the retreat of the rebel army.
The Worlds Baltimore correspondent
says In few weeks the Southern Con-
fedelacy will be numbered with the things
of the past, and the rebels will have neither
army, capital nor government. News
from eteldom has produced feeling of
deep depression among Southern symps-
thizers, more than any previous events of
the war.
The Southern army is $4,000 strong. No
more men can be raised.
Richmond will be held as long as the reb-
el army consists of $4,000 men. Nearly
half of the Southern army have deserted
since the fall of Wilmington and Charles
ton. The ruin of their railroads renders
it impossible for them to make use of their
resources. The closing of the last fort
cuts off their supplies from England. They
have few munitions of war, and limited
and reduced means of manufacturing them,
and all hope of foreign intervention has
been finally dispelled.
The Newbern Times says that during
COUGHS march from Wilmington the army
passed through three different lines of
works, all of them facing northward in the
direction General Couch was moving.
WHEREABOUTS OF FOREST.
The HeraLdS special from Gravelly
Springs, Ala, with General Wilson's COM
mand, says that at latest intelligence from
Forest he was encsmped at West Point
with eight regiments, four of which were
negroes.
PROVISIONS AND CLOTHING FOR ExCHANe-
ED UNION PRISONERS.
The same correspondent says that q
train of fifty wagons, loaded with provis-
ions and clothing, were about starting to
meet our exchanged prisoners on their way
from TupelO.
FROM REBEL PAPERS.
The Richmond Examiner has a letter
from Fayetteville which says: Fayetta.
vile is ruined All the arsenal buildings
the market court house, printing office,
both foundries, all the mills, cotton fac.
tories, and alI the oil works have been de-
stroyed. They robbed the people Of
everything in the wsy of food. The de-
struetion in Chersw is said to have been
extensive.
The Raleigh Democrat says: Judging
from what we hear of the operations in
Eastern and Middle North Csrolir a, We
consider the signs mora encouraging if moi
decidedly cheering. Sherman will be pre-
vented from crossing the North Csrolint
Railroad. Sherman and the Yankee na,
ton will soon learn that marching through
the country is not conquering it.
The Raleigh Progress says; Much un
just abuse has been hesped upon the cavalry
under General Wheeler. Much of tn,
marauding and plundering charged Il
them has been perpetrsted by others. Sew
eral of them have been at the house of the
editor of this paper for nearly a weel
past. We can with truth say, we havt
never seen a more orderly or well behaved
set of men.
The Eran1iner, of the24th, says On thu
lines before Richmond and Petersburg
there is On unbroken quiet. Our troop
have, within the last few days, been ad
dressed by various speakers, though poll
ticians have more need to be encouraged
by the army than the army by politicians
There is an impression that Grant is pre-
pairing or pretending to send portion o
his army to North Carolina to help Sher
man out of his troubles; this gentleman j
decidedly brought to a stand. Thos
wonderful marches of his, in which tn
Yankees so much exult, seem to be owe
for the present. Instead of burning town
and rObbing people he finds armed men il
front.
The Examiner abuses Foote for his pub
lie address to southerners abroad, anC
