But the most positive proof Of the ingrat-
itude Of the rebels is found in the case Of
John G. PembertoD, of Connecticut. Th;s
man was among the first trs1tors from thu
North who Joined the rebel cause. He be-
came the intimate and confidential frieni

and patronage Of JET. Davis could not sus-
tain him, and he was compelled to resign
his commission as Lieutenant General, and
content himself with that of Colonel. He
was assigned TO duty az commandant Of

even this command. We perceive that he
has been retired, and We trust, re.ires per-
manently from the stage Of action. On the
18th inst. be was relieved OF his command
by Lieutenant Colonel Lightfoot, and his
once separate command becomes part of
that of a mere boy OF twen1y-three, son

Va The end of the rebellion evidently

Na-The end of the rebellion evidently
draws near. When it comes then COM
mences the contracting process. Then
there will be short profits or no profits
among commercial men. Then prices Of
prodnce viii recede and farmers will be
short on incomes. Then there will be
greater competition in labor and wages
will be less. Then will be harder time to
pay debts, and it will grow harder and
harder. When the Government ceases to
make the large expenditures it is now do
ing, there will probably be season Of great
dullness. But all who are oct Of debt will
be safe. Such cannot be ruined. The
present is the very best time to pay debts
and the worst time to contract them. The
man who owes money upon his farm now
and don't pay is not wise. If he can't pay
now, he never can pay, in all probability.
Commercial men ought to exact it and pay
cash. Ifthis be done on all hands, in all
directions, nobody need fail or be seriously
in the wind-up when we get
back 10 specie. We believe the people Of
Iowa are out Of debt, and in this particular
the war has been worth TO them all it cost
lin money, we mean. But If all are not
out of debt let them make haste to get out,
and the rebellion will 60 down and leave
us unscathed.
