"Midwinter," says the London Daily News
of January Sd, "briugs no pause in the shock
and hurry of war in the American campaign"
and the came paper adds:


fthe North still remains able to keep up
its armies to at least their present standard,
while the South cannot renew its regular
forces, nor rouse the patriotism OF its mem
bers to further sacrifices, it is evident that the
end is at length coming within sight. 1t must
not, indeed, be looked for suddenly. A great
and tried army like Lees cannot be suddenly
disposed of by any opponent less than Napo-
leen. Even Hood may rally portion of his
force, and make a stout fight still in the strong
positions ON the Tennessee. But, on the other
hand, it is impossible not to see in the ac-
coutns of the fighting that now reach US that
knowledge Of their fate has greatly altered the
morale Of the contending forces. There is at
once dash and a stubborn energy in the at
tacks of the Federals which were not traceable
in their first encounters; while the Southeners,
whose wilder manner of life, whose reckless
contempt of death, and whose skill as shots
gave them in the opening of the war distinct
superiority, now fight as brave men do, who
are ashamed to yield, but who yet know they
fght 10 vain. And those who are still with
Hood or Lee are, it must be remembered, the
] hsartiest who are left. They are those who
