The LONDON Index even yet expresses hopes
Tor the South in the second act Of the war,
which tt says Is about TO commence. Il
II The London Tines of the Doth says every
one must hope that If The South can no longer
contend with regular armies, it will accept
the abilrament of war, return even to a hated
political connection rather than shed blood to
no purpose; but it is Impossible TO say what
desperate resolve may be taken by men under
the influence of such threats as the North has
continually uttered, and of such laws as Con-
gress has enacted; for this reason we hope
that the leaders of the Gonfederates may con-
sent to bring the struggle to close If they
really believe that their military power is at
an end, and that the North may meet them as
conquerors should meet an honorable foe.
The Daily news regards the contest as vir-
tually closed SO far as the armies In the field
are concerned; and in the rapid melting away
OF Lees army, 1t sees no ground for hoping
mat there Will be no attempt at guerilla war,
The globe considers 1t probable that Lee
will reach the mountains, if at all, with mere
handful OF men, and that although some time
may elapse before all resistance is put down,
yet the end is not less sure. naeo e 7g9.@
