prize is won. We cannot doubt it. Like
an arch broken, the whole system Of the
defences of Richmond is crumbled by the
the shattering of the line west from
Petersburg, which cur forces crushed
through yesterday.
That system upon the South side of
the James, consisted OF two tremendous
lines Of works, right angled to each other
at Petersburg-the one extending from
Richmond to Petersburg, the other from
Petersburg westward, protecting the So
called Southside Railroad. These lines
supported each other. The giving way
of either was fatal to the stability Of the
other. The Southslde line Las yielded.
Broken through by Sheridan, somewhere
towards its western extremity. and hanked
by his powerful column of cavalry sand
infantry, it fell. The main body of the
army crushed through it, and is now in
the rear of the complemental line from
Petersburg to Richmond which becomes
useless at once The rebels may have
more works within the great outer system
thus overthrown, but not possibly any-
thing that can resist the victorious army
which now presses up to the rebel Capital.
If they contest its advance long enough
to permit the escape of any considerable
portion of Lees troops before it closes in
upon all the avenues'from the city, they
will do more than we believe is in their
power-Bg6a}o Express of Monday

To the Old World the success of these
Peoples Loans is one Of the wonders of a
Republic. The Government does not seek
to borrow in foreign markets; it offers no
premiums to bankers, but appeals direct
ly to the people, and with what success is
sufficiently shown by the fact that during
forty three days they subscribed and paid
the cash down for one hundred and stuiy
