Union armies would have to be long and DIFF
fcult to maintain. The proclamation of
Kirby Smith, and the speech of Gen. Ma
gruder at Houston, a month ago, indicate
determination to make the most of these
advantages ; and both say that they
expect help from a neighbor near at
hand, meaning France, through Macmillan
But, on the other hand, the rebel generals
had not then heard of the complete extin-
gui hment of armed resistance this side of
the Mississippi, nor of the capture of JEFF.
Davis Kirby Smith, who has been practi-
cally supreme in command, and who is prob
ably the only man who could keep his rebel
army together, if any man could, is reported
killed. The people there, as elsewhere South.
can now have no object in continuing the
war. The probability is that the rebel forces
are rapidly dissolving, and We shall expect to
