ly err in our estimate Of the man if Gen.
Grant gives the rebel chief rest until his
army is thoroughly routed and dispersed.
Grant, it is true, had fought for three
DAYS, but his men are veterans. They
have been in comparative isaction for
months. and during this time al of Lees
army was engaged in constant and ex-
haus,ive duty, while such was Grants
position that while vigilanuy holding bis
lines he could relieve and rest his whole
army. Hence our troops are in much
better condition for pursuit than the
enemy. We believe this pursuit will be
made, pressed vigorously, and result in
the annihilation of the rebel army in Vir-
ginia.

the second division. Our artillery played

NeW Aork, ApIil o.
The Herald's correspondent has the
following account of operations on Sun
day:
At midnight Saturday General Wilcox
had orders to demonstrats on the right of
the line, SO as to draw the rebels the left
preparatory to operations in that quarter.
The next morning Admiral Porter aud all
the artillery in the works on the right
we're oil set at work. Wilcox's skirmish
line was advanced, tho rebels we're arons-
ed, and soon sharp vollsys Of musketry
were heard, indicating that they were al
work. Amid the noise and smoke the
skirmishers pushed on until reaching the
outskirts of Petersburg, where they met =
heavy body of rebels advancing upon
them. A brisk engagement followed, hut
our numbers were 30 small that We we're
compelled to withdraw.
Wilcox then got orders to attack Fort
Malone on the left. He nassed col
umn for the purpose.
While this was being done similsr dis
positions we're making further to the left,
and system of cannon signals had been
sgreed upon to fix the moment of starting
tha. all might assault simultaneously -
Owing to a mist which hung over the
ield the preparations had been concealed
from the enemy. At o clock the signal
was given. The men advanced quickly
and in perfect order with fixed bayonets
That they went TO stay was Indicted by
being accompanied BY q detachment Of
heavy artillery prepared to turn and work
the enemy's guns.
Presently musketry was heard; the
rebel picket line vas reached; now .
hearty cheer followed by the roar Of mus
ketry--the cheering and musketry firing

Instantly the artillery on both sides is

FOUR YEARS or wAR.

The Copperhead Peace party maguates,
assembled at Chicago last summer, pro.
claimed that they had lost faith in the vir-
tue of war against treason and rebellion.
They announced to the world that four
yeaIo Of war had proved failure and
now the time had come for peaceful RENE
dies. The rascals added several months
to the length Of the war in order to make
ou. case against the Union armies and
the government Of their country, as the
four years will not expire till the l4th Of
this mouth. And now the four years Of
war which the Chicago Convention in the
epiriL of treason and in the interests of
rebels in arms, declared q failure, hsve re-
rulted in the utter overthrow of the rebel
lion as civil and military power and the
practical subjugation of the rebellion. The
effect of the final blow is described in
the following very truthful terms by an
ticipstion in the Richmond Examiner
some weeks ago. Speaking of the posi-
BILE evacuation of Richmond, that organ
Of the rebel power said:
stIts loss would be material ruin to the
cause, and, In moral point of view, abso-
lutely destructive, crushing the heart and
extinguishing the last hope of the coun-
try. Our armies would lose the incentive
inspired by great and worthy object OF
defense. Our military policy would be
totally at sea; We should be without a
hope or An object; without civil or mill
tary organization; without . treasury or q
commissariat; without the means of keep
ing alive wholesome and active public
sentiment without any of the appliances
for supporting cause depending apon :
popular faith and enthusiasm; without the
embIems or the semblance. Of nationality
"From the hour of giving up the seal
of Government. our cause would sink in
TO a mere rebellion in the estimation o.
foreign powers. who would cesss to accord
to us the rights Of belligerents.
"Once gained by power having com
mand of the water, it could nsseR, aude'
any contingency, be recovered BY the Con
federacy."
Does this description, Of which We nov
witness the entire realization and ful6ll
meot, look like failure 70 put down th
rebellion BY four years Of wsre And ar

nest and our armies and prcchimed th
