The Prospect of Peace.

We. wish our. ."state sovereignty" friends joy of the near prospect ofpeace, ''on the basis of the Federal Union. It really looks as though Sherman was conquering peace on that base with a celerity and a certainty that have had no parallel since the Young Napoleon drove the enemy to the wall" He will also be more likely to pin the ensmy there, since be makes no move backward. and uses no gun.boats to lead hia army over dry land. The demonstra, ton too which the people of the conquered provincear make, Rhen they look once more upon theFold baoner of Union andsLiberty, the reception of our troops with shouts of welcome and tearssnf joy. seems very much us if this < abolition crusade" was not only successful but eninentiy satisfactory to the parties inti; mately concerned [,
 Seriously, the joyous news which we chroni- ele this werk. the nnmolested and triumphant march of Sherman from the seaboard into the interior of the old North State, the occupation Charleston, Columbia and Wilmington, the raising of the old flag upon Sumter and Moul' trie and Anderson, the flight of the rebel ar miess the shouts of acclaim and welcome which go apt tfrom thousands of loyal men of the Soufal released frem their long bondage and eager to, greet the armies of tke Union-all this betokens that the end is not far distant, the rebellion confined to narrow limits and the supremacy of the government well nigh fully established.

 We, DO no, however, suppose that the rebel leaders and those whom they hold by force of armsini their defence, will give over all resist snce without at least one more show of 6ght. We. take 10 heed of rebel boastings, indeed, thatShermauis is being lured on to his destruc- tion,g ,ger that the world is to be soon as.onished with az exhibition of rebel prowess; but we do not shut our eyes to the fact that concen. siationsof Lees armies may be possible, that it may be abe, and desirous to oppose itself to Sherman before be crosses North Carolina is possible. .!but thut it will check or even swerve bis triumphant legions we do hot believe.
 But the evidence that comes up from the South from every ,quartsr-from Charleston and imington, from Pe,ersbulgh and even from Richmond, the dissensions among the rebsls. the wrangles of their ,Seuate, the mur- mufs of their, presses, the joyful exultation of their masses released from the oppression of the srshslliea, all go to show that the South nre tired ofthe war. that they feel the :. Con. federacsf is a failure, that they. are anxious to return to their allegiance to the old fas and the sold Union, and that the era of Peace ia just sireadv,to dawn.
