The steamship America from Southamp-
ton, arrived to day.
The Times says: The end has come, and
the American war is virtually closed by
Lees surrender of the Virginia army. The
tone of the correspondence between Grant
and Lee is honorable to both. The condi-
tions wera such IS it was no disgrace for
sR overmstched army to accept Not even
Nspoleon's grand army could count q
series of more brilliant victories than the
army of Virginia. They were victorious
until victory was no longer to be achieved
by human valor, and then they fell with
honor. Two years ago Lee might have
escaped TO LynchbuIg, but now the Fede-
raj generals made moves with rs much rs-
pidity and attack as NspoleOn's marshsls
The Federal government Is entitled TO rank
among the very first military nations.
All attempts to establish Southern Con-
federacy must be abandoned.
The Times says: With the defeat of the
Southsrners the dificu' ties of the Federal
Government Government set in. After
the restoration of the Federal authority,
and the reduction of the South to obe-
dience, an overwhelming prospect will open
before Lincoln's administration. Much
lies between the conquest of the South and
the restoration of the Union. In the face
Of political problems of unexsmpled diff
Guilty to be confronted, such questions ss
the regeneration of the currency, reform Of
the tsrif,snd the management of the na-
tionsl debt, important as they are in
themselves, may appear insignigcsnt.

confidence in commercial circles.

in honor of late Federal victories. An i'm
mense procession repaired to the Federal
Consurs residence. The Consul received
the deputation and made a speech. A con-
grstulstory serensde followed.
The London Times says there seems
to be on the part Of President Lincoln a
desire to conciliate his vanquished fellow
citizens, under the guidance Of Mr.. Seward
who has sreditsbly distinguished himself in
the Cabinet by his moderate cOunsels, and
whose life will, we trust, be spared at this
crisis to the Union, that he may, by gentle
measures, restore tranquility, and perhaps
before his term of Office expires, calm in
some degree the snimOsities which have
been raised by three years of war.
The News of Monday evening, after
complimenting US on the surrender,
slluding to Mr.. Lincoln's notifications to
foreign nations to withdraw the regulations
to which federal vessels of war are now
subjected TO in their ports, rays this notice
will not effect US, as with our hsrbors at
Halifax and in the West Indies, we have
no occasion TO enter, much less to remain
in a port of the United States. II is there
lore probably directed against other nations
whose constantly impending threat of the
recognition of the South, has throughout
the war 80 added to the difficulties and per-
plexities Of the North.
