visited by IN April shower.
The Cabinet ct Washington have had several
consultations over the propriety Of rsmov-
Ing oil restrictions ct once from COM
mercs with the Southern States. Why
should this not bs done, with the exosp-
ton Of oontraband goods, and commerce
be permitted to exert its all-potent influence In
the immediate restoration ofamicable relations
between the two sections The re-establish-
ment Of trade will furnish an opening for the
enterprise, capital and manufactures Of the
North which have, since the commencement Of
the rebellion, been directed In sustaining and
supplying the government with the necessary
articles Of war. which now, with the dawn Of
peace, are no longer needed In that direction.
The rebellion II over, and the sooner com.
merce Is allowed is full sway the sooner viii
eli vestiges Of the mighty contest disappear.
Aside from this, there are charitable reasons
why trade should be resumed with all possible
speed. The great interests Of the South have
been nearly exhausted, and unless something
of the kind is done the approach Of another
winter will bring with It an enormous amount
of hardship and suffering there. The North
will hear Of horrid details, accompanied with
appeals to furnish Of their substance to relieve
the distress Of the people. This can all be
avoided if the government acts now. With
the resumption of commerce the people can
obtain seed to plant and sow, and secure the
necessaries Of life. The fields and plains OF
the South, devastated by the stern events Of
war, will again blossom as the rose, and pro-
duce the sustenance Of life for the millions Of
Southern people oppressed by the wicked re-
bellion. These, with numerous other reasons Of
equal force, appear to us to make plain the path
of duty Of the government We have shown
ourselves mighty in war; let us now exhibit
our greatness in readjustment

which occurred some years since. About
twenty years ago thcre WAS an impostor -four
ishing around this city, swindling everybody
whom he met Our attention was called to his
transactions, and we immediately exposed his
tricks. On tho day on which the article

revealed the true nature Of the impostor, and
showed with what consummate GOODNESS, self
possession and impudence he swindled the pub
lie. Sanders and Tucker are disciples in the
Same school. The proclamation of the Presi-
dent has had the same effect upon them that
our article had on the New York impostor.
The proposition Of Sanders and Tucker,
however, shows that they have taken higher

evidently taken long stride in advance in the
art of impudence. After spending year or

We have received the report Of General
Robert E. Lee Of the operations Of the rebel
Army Of Northern Virginia, from juno 1852 till
the middle Of December in the Same year. 1t is
document full Of interest, viewed simply as
o contribution towards the history Of the war;
for it includes the rebel account Of some Of the
most important events Of the great struggle.
The report recites in considerable detail the
story Of the seven days. battles before Rich
mond, giving full account Of the disposition
of the rebel troops on the memorable fields Of
that series. In the light Of this report 1t is seen
moro clearly than ever that the rebel victory on
that occasion was not due to the genius Of
Robert E. Lee, or to the courage Of the rebel
soldiers, but to the excessive caution OF
Mcclellan, which characterized that Gene
rails whole career. Had our armies on
that occasion been under the command of
q fighter like Sheridan, or Of calm, open
eyed and resolute soldier like Grant Cen
eral Lees movements on the right and rear Of
our army. by Mechanicsville, might to-day have
been written down as one of the greatest blum
ders In military history. BY Lees own show
ing. Longstreet, A. p. Hill and jackson were
all three on the north side Of the Chickahominy
on the 9th of June; and when Mcclellan with
drew his whole force to the south side Of that
stream Lees three generals remained on the
north side whole day before they could get
over. On that day, therefore, the Army of
the Potomac was in the country between
the Chickahominy and Richmond, compara-
lively alone; for the only rebel troops on the
same side Of the river were the divisions Of
Magruder and Huger-two incompetent gene
rails. And on that day, when Grans would
have walked over these two divisions into the
rebel capital, Mcclellan thought only Of re-
treat, with the fear Of losing Washington con-
stantly on his mind. =
General Lee also tells with considerable de-
tail the story OF the campaign in the Valley of
Virginia, with Popcs overthrow on Manassas
plains; rccounts the advance to Hsrper's Ferry
and into Maryland; the battle Of Antietam, and
finally the defeat of Burnside at Fredericks-
burg. II has been considered o virtue on the
part Of soldiers not to know when they were
beaten, but that sort Of ignorance II not praise.
worthy in q general II is moreover, apt to
make him little ridiculous In history. And
General Lee, who evidently supposes that he
gained the battle Of Antietam, will be, by future
times, moro laughed at for that supposition
than he will ever be praised for any battle that
he really did gain. Though this report is valu-
able a. " the other side Of the story" II Il

have given us pictures or the South quite DIFF
ferent in tone from those that were so common
few months ago. Tho awful terrorism that
lately dominated the whole Southern country
is done with. The formal surrender of Gene
rails Lee and Johnston has been signed, and the
two great rebel armies have gone out of cx-
istence. Kirby Smith is the only general Of
whose surrender we have had no account, and
his surrender has doubtless been agreed upon
before this. And the rebel elgovemment-the gov
eminent that was to be strong in the love Of the
Southern people, even without armies--that was
to be the same when Savannah, Charleston,
Columbia, Wilmington and Richmond were
taken-that government now that its military
power is lost, Ii broken TO pieces and scattered
to the four winds, and its leader il fugitive,
eager only to save his miserable life. Through
out the South there is none 80 poor to do him
reverence. As this state of affairs dawns upon
the minds Of tho Southern people the sense Of
relief that they experience, and the joyous,
| simple, almost childish expressions of that
sense that our correspondents hear everywhere,
| IL very grand tribute to the idea upon which
the North has wagod this war. II Is the most
perfect possible evidence that We were right in
our declarations that this rebellion was not the
movement Of the Southern people, but that the

these fine spring days the happy soldiers march
