VIII Kirby Smith Surrender.

A Western cotempotary is Of opin-
ion that if Kirby Smith really pos
sesses the sagacity and shrewdness
claimed for him by his ardent adj
rnirers. he will pat into practice those
peaceful professions he has advo--
cat, 4 for many months past. There
is no other course left than uncondi-
ticnal surrender. By laying down
their arms now while i, is yet time,
the rebel troops west Of the Missis-
sippi have SOME chance Of mercy.
There are reports current in Wash
;ngtpn that tho preliminaries Of ne.
gotiation for the surrender of the
i'rans-AIississippi rebel army have
been attempted, but the information
is not reliable in the shape in which.
il Is published, It will be remem-
bored that variors runsorE have been
afoat in connection with Kirby
Smiths army. but they wero as con
Trajectory and improbable. as that a
negotiation Of this character could
be concealed long time from the
public. There is. however, an evil
dent discont.nt aad characterization
in the rebel ranks. which is favorable
to an early disbanding Of the whole
army. Virginia. North Carolina and
Alabama. The rebel leaders havn
accepted this fact by repeated adj
missions, and it needs no arguue it
10 prove the correctness of this view
Of their situation. The Union SEN
timent CT Texas has been moro &c.
v-reiy crushed. probably. than in
any other seeded State. The hang
ing and shooting commenced there
before the election Of NJ. Lincoln in
1860, and has been carried out with
more perseverance, and cruelty than
in any other quarter. All we may
hope for is that the leaders may be
discouraged and relax the oppres-
sions which have ground the inhab-
.t,nts to the dust.

when you reach her shores that her
