= President Davis once said that II Richmond
we've taken, the war conld still he maintained for
twenty years in Virginia alone, and the truth of
the saving may soon he tested. 1t is even now re-
ported that the evacuation OF Richmond IS in con
temptation, aud that General Lee will transfer his
| command to Lynchbgrg. n the end it is thought
that Sherman may JON Grant, and that the two
Federal armies may he joined into one; but If Lee
is also joined by Beanregard it is possible that his
military genius may still give him the ascendaucy.
He himself is confident and his elevation to the
chiei COMMAND Will secure his country men the full
benefit OF his transcendant abilit es But the North
has now found in Grant aud Sherman two generals
OF a very different stamp from those tn whom its
| armies were ence entrusted. Sherman is rnteTpri-
sing and sagacioas, aud has hitherto been success
iul. Grant has been unsuccessful, but he has stub
borny refused To recognize defeat, and has proved
| thu value of this tenaelty Of purpose. The next
| operations of this most eventful war win be ex-
| pected with singular interest. The Confederate
ports are lost hut the loss deliberately accept
| ed, and their garSsols have been saved. Lee aud
i Beaurcgard are at the head OF unbroken armies
ad the spirit OF the South has rather been raised
| then depressed by its recent reyerses. But one
Federal army, at any rate; range at will over
| Southern territory, aud the feeling OF the South
| under this iAhictOn is most important point Ia be
| ascertained The FedeTals have recovered their
military reputation but, IL the Sonth is stil re-
solved to stand out 10 tho end, they have made but
little progress towards the conclusion of the war.

New YORK, July 10.-One of the

Mississippi people, which is far from fiat

chivalry to which they have so long laid
claim. On the contrary he says major
ity of them are exceedingly ignorant and
devoid Of enterprise, poor whites, in these
respects, standing on par with negroes.
What little there was of the institution
called society in the State before the war,

slavery has ceased to exist, the social cs

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The Secretary
of State continues his duties in almost
perfect health. The novel and eXtraor-
dinary splint was removed from his face
by order of his Surgeons, and proves to
have been marvellous success, aA very
few traces are to be seen of the original
accident and the subsequent assault OF
the baffled assassin, with the exception
of a slight swelling on the side OF his
cheek. Mr.. Seward rose this morning,
dressed himself and performed his toilet,
even to shaving, without assistance, for
the first time since his accident. HIS
friends and the country will be glad to
learn that he has entirely recovered the
use of his arms, one of which was fear
fully manned when he was thrown from
his carriage. During three months OF
suffering Mr.. Stewards mind has been en-
gagged in the transaction of public busi-
ness,a fact which will enable him with
comparative ease to resume. the active
and laborious duties of his Department.
