The Campaign OF 1865.
From the U. s. Army and Navy Journal.

From the U. s. Army and Navy Journal.
Astounding as seemed the rapidity with
which the war of the rebellion was carried on
at its inception it has been waged with yigor
and velocity accelerated by the lapse of time
Each of the four years, now nearly over, has
witnessed fury on both sides more astound-
ing than that of the year preceding, and to all
appearance, the fifth year of the Southern re-
bellion will prove in intensity its eliminating
one. The North, indeed, enters on its task
with brighter prospects than ever before, and
with ultimate success practicable. And the
the South, whose plan of action has been de-
scribed as " defensive with offensive returns !"
will be forced to continue the same policy,
minus the offensive returns. But hot CAM
paign lies before both combatants. The Peace
Conference bids fair to go into history as the
lull before the storm.
To the North, the expediency of strenuous
action is obvious, not only from the general
consideration that the rebellion has already
lived too long for its honor, and too long even
for its safety and integrity, but also from the
peculiarties of its military position. The
armies of Sherman and Thomas are flushed
with victory, and fired with that enthusiastic
confidence which is an invaluable augury of
victories to come
The Confederacy has lately shown an equal
determination TO strain every sinew during the
coming spring. Unless it re0rganizes its force

crafty scheme of the Peace Conference devised
to quiet the growing peace party, the efforts
to stir up the enthusiasm of the Southern peo,
pie and to make them pledge Themselves tn
die with the harness on their backs, and finally
the vigorous effort to reinforce its armies from
the slave population, are indications of what
the rebellion is determined to do
The great scene of conflict is to be the At
lantic slope. By mutual consent, the war in
the West and Southwest Is to fall into second
airy importance. Gen. Grant has wisely deter
mined to draw large part of the inland army
to the seacoast. After Thomas brilliant one.
rations in Tennessee, it was clear that his army
of $4,000 men were capable of marching from
Corinth to the Cult, following the model set
BY General Sherman. But there was a still
more judicious disposition to make of these
forces.
The main objective left for Thoma was Mo.
bile. And how small force was required for
the reduction of that city (even were its pres
emit capture essential, and it Is not) NAV be
learned from the frequent and not improbable
results Of its evacuation already IN circulation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-It seems by the
Herdld's Charleston correspondent that
even in the hot.bed of secession love for
the old union survived all yicissitudes. The
remaining inhabitants of the city mani
tested strong love for the old flag, and
when small body of colored troops, the

the principal street., their officers could
scarcely proceed with them, being met
with a perfect ovation of men and women
thronging the avenues, ehouting, waving
OF handkerchief, and cheering for the
stars and stripes, President Lincoln and the
Yankee army. ,rFeu~E -yvg
The rebels destroyed much property by
burning and explosions before they left,
but large amounts were found left remain
ing in the city after the Union forces took
possession, including, it is supposed, over
TWO hundred pieces of artillery, and i'm
mense supplies of ammunition were found

Frantic Appeals TO Arm the Slaves.
Rebel Success In East Tennessee.

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-Richmond pa
pers are more frantic than ever. The En-
quirer calls on JEFF. Davis to arm the
slaves without authority of law. It says
these States and this cause stand to-day
in need of man who will take the power
of the people and use it for their preserva-
ton. Farther on it says, Sherman is
rushing through the Oarolinas like an avail
anche, and report says has captured one
one hundred Thousand bales of cotton at
Columbia. Grant is gradually and per-
haps surely extending his lines around
Petersburg and Richmond and threatens
every moment to burst over the lines that
intervene, and the Senate are doing the
conservative. History furnishes no par
allel to this.
The following was received yesterday I:

We learn that the raiding party of Yam
kee cavalry, who were reported to be ad-
vancing by way of Tarboro, North Caro-
lima, on the Weldon railroad have returned
to Washington. We have been unable to
obtain any information as to the amount
of damage done by them. ..
