learn that Systematic efforts will soon
be made, both in Congress and BY the lead
ing Administration papers of the country,
as we'll as in certain long deferred report,
to convince the public that the war IS ap-
preaching its termination; that the mill
tary strength Of the Oonfederacy is almost
exhausted, and that the rebellion Is on its
last legs. I tEust that the readers OF the
World will not be deceived on these points.
II only requires a candid examination OF
facts ss they exist to convince any one that
both at home and in Europe, the rebellion
or the Confederacy, call 1t what you will,

for their credulity. Gen. Grant made q
statement to that effect on the 10th o.
August last, and added that even at that
time the rebels had been compelled to rot
the cradle and the grave for recruits. The
| events OF four months have shown how
radically he was mistaken. During that
period Gen. Price has raised thirty thou.
