An Important OTder--HEOpeGnI
Prospect.

The Secretary of War has issued an
important order, looking to peace and the
immediate reduction of the military estab-
lishment. The chiefs of Bureaus are to
make out statements of practicable reduc-
tions of expenses; all ocean and river trans
portation not needed to carry home troops,
&c. is to be discharged md the purchase
Of horses and forage is to cease; no more
contracts for supplies beyond what is need
ed to support the troops to the first of
June; the purchase of arms AMI ordnance
stores is stopped, and the manufacture to
he reduced; work on ordinary field iortifi-
cations to cease; old soldiers in hospitals
not needing further medical treatment, all
paroled prisoners, and all recruits in rem
dezyous not for the regular army are to
be honorably discharged; n complete re-
turn of the forces in the field is to be made
with view to reduction clerks, nurses,
and attendants not required are TO ue dis
charged the proper officers are to return
the public property in their charge and sell
all not needed; and list of rebel prison.
ers proper for Executive clemeucy is to be
made ont, that they may at once take the
oath and bo discharged.
This looks ms If the "Govelnment' con-
sidered the war substantially at an end,
and Peace at hand

Strange story About NIr. Lincoln

Correspondence OF The Country Gentlemen
Three years ago the gentleman l spoke OF
told us II story of Mr.. Lincoln, which have
not thought Of since, until now. When Mr.
Lincoln received the news OF his first election
he came home to tell Mrs. Lincoln about it,
She was up stairs in the bed room, and after
telling the news, in walking about the room,
his eye fell upon the bureau glass lmme-
diately he threw himself down upon the lounge,
and told Mrs Lincoln he thought he must be
i'll, for he saw second reflection of his face
in the glass which he could not account for.
1t was perfect, but very pale.
ooh" said Mrs Lincoln, 'thnt means that
you will be re elected-but | don't like its
looking pale" she hdded; "that looks as If
you would not live through your second
term"
Mr. Lincoln himself told this to the friend
| mentioned, and this gentleman told il TO us
in our parlor, soon after the first Bull Run
battle. II made quite an impression upon me
Mt the time-but one foigets such things.
Was it not singular

Emigration Ia Mexico.

A very considerable number of officers
and men, of both the Federal and Oonied-
era te armies, are said to be going to Mex
leo, ostensibly As "emigrants," but really,
it is limited, to Eight the battles Of the re-
public against the Emperor. Authorized
agents from Mexico are said to be in most
of our principal cities for the purpose of
obtaining these invaluable recruits Gen.
Ortega and his son are at Washington on
this business paying large specie bounties
to officers who are recommended TO them
by board of examiners. It begins to
look as If The experiment of an Imperial

The End Approaching.


We published yesterday the thrilling
announcement of the surrender of Gen.
LEES army to General GRANT, and the
terms given to those who laid down their
arms. This morning we have the re-
mainder of the correspondence between
the two Generals. There are to- day but
q comparatively small number of men
still in arms against the government
BEAUREGARD and JOHNSTON have per-
haps fifteen or twenty thousand soldiers
under their command; there are about
eight thousand in Mobile, if they have
not already surrendered to General lis CAN
BY and GRANGER; and in the Southwest
there are perhaps five thousand rebels in
arms. These are all, and probably more
than all, who remain attached to the
armies of the Confederate States 1t can
not be doubted by any reasonable man
that, in view of the hopelessness of their
cause, the few soldiers that remain will
speedily disband and that, ere many days
roll by, the entire structure of the Con-
federate States of America, both military
and civil, will become only thing of the
past, and that throughout all the borders
of our land one flag will wave, one gov
rnment be acknowledged. and blessed
peace will resume her sway.
1t is, therefore, with feelings of much
joy, towhich we have been four years
stranger, that we pen these lines. Thank
COP! the long agony is well nigh over
and the hour of deliverance draws nigh
The heart of every true lover OF his
race and his country throbs to-day under
the quickening impulse of hope that the
time is fast approaching when the air of
our land will no longer be tainted with
the sulphurous smoke of battle. or bur
dened by the groans of the wounded
and the dying; and every American citi-
zen must feel glad today that the reign
of military force, the day of bayone IS
and bastiles, is about to pass from this
land forever The plea of necessity"
under which freemen have been despoil-
ed of their rights, is now made useless
and vain, and men who love their coun-
try, be they called by whatever political
name they may, can breathe freely and
walk proudly in the consciousness of
- q
We rejoice most heartily in view of the
near approach of peace, unity and har-
mony, both political and social, and trust
that our hopes may soon be crowned with
a full fruition of gladness. For that day,
soon to come, when peace shall be offici-
ally proclaimed and the civil war declar.
ed to be ended, we wait with eager ex-
pectation.
