THE EFFECT OF THH VICTORY.
In regard to the late overwhelming
triumph of the National arms, the Gin
clnnati Commercial says:
That therebcls will feol in thoirboncs
tho fall Of Richmond-that the event
will be accepted at homo and abroad
as fixing the failure of tho rebellion
is certain. And we may now conf
dently expect that the deep despon.
dcncy that has bccn noticed recently
in tho hoinsurgent districts, and tho fierce
hostility to JEFF. DAVIS, that has been
rapidly spreading, will appear in tho
form of movements of tho Southern
people, looking to the abandonment OF
the hopeless cause oftho clique Of whip
ped conspirators just driven out Of
Richmond. The rebel military organ.
zalion will suffer moro than ever from
desertion. twill be difficult, perhaps
impossible, for them to keep large
armies together, owing to tho want OF
transportation to gather supplies. And
as the war takes more of the guerrilla
character, We are made comfortable in
contemplation Of the inevitable end
by tho consideration of tho fact that
our cavalry force is Overwhelmingly
superior to that of tho enemy, and can
ride down the marauders wherever
they show themselves in force. But
we must caution our readers against
infusing such enthusiasm into theil
opinions as to neglect to take into nc
count tho fact that the rebels have still
q considerable military forco and {
largo territory at their disposal. JoI
JonSsToN's army in North Carolina
probably amounts to thirty-fvo thou
sand men. 1t is not unreasonable L
suppose that LEE will get away from
Richmond with as many more. /
these forces can be Joined and PLACED
within co operating distance Of eacl
other, they may still give US gooc
deal Of trouble; andwo may look upol
u as certainty, that the war will no
terminate at once, and with genera

The Latest News.


We avail ourselves of the summing
up Of the latest news, furnished by
the Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday.
An official dispatch from General
Grant, dated yesterday afternoon. at
Wilson's Station, twenty-seven miles
from Petersburg, ninety.six miles from
Lynchburg, and twenty five miles from
Burksville, the junction Of the South
side & Danville Railroad, shows that
Lees retreat became complete rout,
The houses along the line were occr-
pied as hospitals, and the country was
filed with stragglers, singly and in
squads, who were generally pushing
for their homes. The fragment Of the
rebel army that maintained any sort
Of an organization was Eorth of the
Appomattox, heading, apparently, for
Lynchburg Lee was pressed so close
ly by our cavalry that he was compel
led to destroy most Of his Transports
tion, and TO free himself generally
from membranes. Our troops were
pressing forward, and would continue
the pursuit as long as there was any
hope of success. Our forces, of course,
command the Danvile Railroad, SO
that Lee cannot use that line to 20
South, or bring Johnson North and
to stay long at Lynchburg will bo to
lose what remains Of his army. He
may try to move down the Tennessee
railroad from Lynchburg, but he
might run against Thomas, in that
event. To move North would bo Ger
tain destruction. To stay any place
would be destruction. The fact is tho
rebels are in the worst kind of fix
can neither go nor stay. They have
found the last ditch, we think, and the
only thing they can do, conveniently,
is to lie down and die. Our cOrrespon-
dent estimates the number Of prise.
ners taken up to Monday at twelve to
fourteen thousand. Since that time,
two thousand more have been captur-
cd. Add to this five thousand killed
aud wounded and ten thousand scat.
tered, and one.half of Lees army is
disposed Of Lees defeat and rout is
fully as disastrous as Hoods defeat
and rouL by Thomas. Hood, in fact
does not, by comparison, appear near
80 bad, since the battles of Petersburg
as no did previously. This is some
thing for Hood. Gen. Grant puts our
entire loss from the 2Sth of March,
when the movement commenced, to
tho Sd inst, whom the victory was
achieved, ut seven thousand. OF this
number two thousand were prisoners,
and considerable number only sight
ly wounded. These losses arc small
for tho amount of fighting done, and
the victories gained.
General Weitzcl found at Richmond
twenty-eight locomotives and one hun,
dred and fifty ears. Tho rams in
James River went tho way of all the
rest-thcy were blown up. Only one
ram remains. That is up the Roam
oko River. II will soon be blown into
tho clouds. That will finish tho reb-
el navy, which has been so powerful in
promises, but weak in performance.
