END OF TEHE WAE.

If our private information is authcntlc-and
we see no reason to doubt it-Gen. Lee has no.
tilted Joh Davis that it is impossible, with the
means at his command, to make head against
the Union forces now concentrating for his over
throw. That such is the fact, we cannot doubt;
that Gen Lee realizes and has privately con
fessed it, we firmly believe. The Rebellion is
now practically confined, so far as making head
against Grant and Sherman is concerned, to
Eastern Virginia and North Carolina; and the
latter State never has been heartily Rebel and
is now decidedly Union. Eastern Virginia rs
Rebel; but her Whites were less than One
Million in 1850, and majority of their able
bodied males has since been killed or perna-
nenty disabled. If we estimate the Rebel
soldiers now embodied in those two States at
One Hundred Thousand, we give Gen. Lee more
men than can this day answer to his roll-callS;
and it is not possible TO increase their number.
The farce of calling out negroes TO swell the
armies of Shareholders Rebellion has fright
ened no one; and it never had any sienifi-
canoe except a. a scarecrow. President LIN
coin is perfectly safe in offering TO let
all the negroes who willingly fight for
Slavery remain in bondage; for there are ho'
enough of these to form platoon. III every
negro in the South had good musket III Ills
hand to-day, and was mustered into the heoel
ranks. the prospects of the Coniederacy would
he only the more desperate, because the hes'oc'
are the necessary and implacable foes OF the
Rebellion. Unprincipled Whites may be brlbed
or caioled into completely with treason; put q
negro may be ever so great scoundrei' yet IL
is scarcely possible to offer him any adequate
indictment for wishing we'll to cause whose
avowed cornerstone is the justice of enslaying
Blacks to the end of time. Here and there
negro may possibly be base enough to hurah
for JEFF. Davis, if well paid for it; but no brber
no terror. could impcl him TO pay for the
triumph of the Man-Theves Coniederaoy.
1t has been commonly predicted that the
Rebels would fight one more desperate battle,
and, if beaten, would then give up. The
leaders would probably choose to fight such a
battle; but why should the rank and hle'
Have they not long enough borne up against
hunger and cold and exposure to the inclem-
encies Of the elements Have not their wives
and children Shiyercd and famiShed for years
Have they not seen their comrades fall and die
till they who survive are but remnant! And
for what should they now fight desperate
battle, Hope being dead, why should not life
be cherished Why should they not yean to
look once more Oh the faces of their wives and
children
We are confident that theRebellicni is crushed
and further bloodshed needless. Only let Rresi-
dent Lincoln eyince an earnest desire that the
War shall now end-lct him appeal to the
people Of the South TO stay this useless, waste
ful effusion of blood aud throw herself on the
clemency Of their country, and we firmly believe
that the next thirty days may see the close Of

Fire bill, the Tax bill and the Health bill.
We are glad to see that the Union Senator and
members from this City are working vigorously
and earnestly to get these bills through Their
labors are duly appreciated by their constitu-
ents. In pressing these measures in the Assem-.
bly,, Messrs. Stewart, Reed and Van Buren,
represent the wishes Of the earnest Union men
of our City. Their party fidelity is proved by
the violent abuse poured on their heads by the
Democrats and their piratcal allies, who persist

in order to be more effective in doing the work
