A Rebel View or the Approach or
Pence.

A son Of Herschell V. johnson, an
officer in Hoods army, in an intercept
ted letter 10 his father, dated Septem-
Der l4th, says the people in the vicin-
ity of Atlanta are almost to a man in
favor Of a reunion, and he believed
fvesiKths of the army would vote for
il, if permitted
Instead Of looking upon the Con-
federste government as protection,
the people see in IL nothing but q
great tyrant crushing them TO death
He expresses the opinion that the war
will stop within thirty days after the
4th OF March, for the Southern people
viii come back on any terms"
If such was the sentiment Of the
people and,armv, as long since as Sep
TENDER the l4th, we wonder what the
feeling is now2 From that hour the
Union army has had a succession o.
victories, and the rebels of defeats
Once break the army of Lee, aud get
possession Of Richmond, and we neeC
give ourselves no trouble as to how th'
rebel States will be re-organized they
willreorgsn ize themselves.

Wilmington will fall, and pays Sher-
man a handsome compliment, by de-

BOARD OF TRADE.

The District of Columbia may at last con-
graduate itself that it has the desideratum Of q
Board Of Trade. After the action OF the spirit
ed meeting of last night it must be set down
a thing accomplished. Not only was the meet
ing large one. but it was composed OF the
right sort of men, those who are apt to accom-
plish what they undertake. And such of our
more active business men as were detained
from the meeting last night have, in almost
every instance, expressed their intention to
join heart and hand in the enterprise. 1t has
been wisely deci led by the association, we
think, to invite the cooperation of all business
men interested in the prosperity ofthe city; and
we find it difficult to believe the statement of
cOiemporary that some merchants present were
silly enough . be "very much dissatisfied, be-
cause gentlemen who are in no sense mer-
chants, dealers, or traders, were permitted TO
join the association" If such a feeling exists
to any appreciable extent amongst the mer-
chants Of Washington the prospect for a
Board Of Trade is small indeed. In any
Of our large commercial cities there are
wholesale merchants enough to organize and
conduct a Board Of Trade. The wholesale mer.
chants of this District may be counted on ones
fngers-we might almost say thumbs; and il
the association is fortunate enough to enlist in
its ranks every active business man in Wash
lngfon-merchant, dealer, manufacturer, or
what-it will even then find itself not at all too
plethoric in means, numbers, or energy, to en-
able it TO compete fairly with similar orgauiza-
tons in weather. cities. We are quite certain
that every individual not mercantile, who
has taken part in this movement has
done so simply from public spirit and sincere
desire to advance the prosperity of the city;
and We doubt not that every person Of this
class will very cheerfully leave the whole
thing to the merchants Of the District when
the latter shall express their ability or desire to
ego 1t alone" The only fear is that mis-
chievous utterances such as that made by our
contemporary shall incline them to let the
enterprise alone severely in the start
But we are quite sure, from the character of
the proceedings last night, aud of the men con-
cerned in the meeting, that no such narrow
minded feeling exists or would be tolerated for
a moment.
The meeting adjourned, it will be seen, to
Thursday night next, for the election of Off GERS
