Tub indications are that the gooil news we have beeu having lately is not suddenly to stop t-bort, and our armie9 allowed to go into wiuter quarters. There 13 every indi cation that this winter is to witness an active campaign. We have reason to be lieve that for a long lime the government hits been maturing a plan of operations for this winter in the South. We know that au immense fleet has sailed from Fortress Monroe intended tor Wilmington. We know that Sherman has Savannah com pletely invested. We expect every day to hear of bim capturing the place and along with it the 15,000 rebel troops now within it. We know that Thomas bas defeated and dispersed Hood, and that he is still pursuing bim. Hood's army is hort du combat for this winter. His loss in artil lery alone uufiis him tor activity anywhere, ? null Hfmi, bo many troops,'and s"uSere3 such a disgraceful Ji8caoi6lure. llis Array is demoralised beyond alt utility for the winter campaign. Tbese things being so, it would seem as if fortune was <e!tiug her face sternly and fatally ..gainst the rebels. We are aware of the fact that it is an easy thing to put down a rebellion and also to plan great successes, likewise to disparage your eat my, on paper, but there are notwithstand ing peculiar and most forcible reasons for hollering that the rebellion is bow in dee p-rate and hopeless straits. The army in Virginia under Lee is the only real army now belonging to the rebels. True they have (quids of armies here and there, but altogether they would not make up a large, well appointed, reliable army. Hood bats probably twenty thousand men left to him, and yet no general has we venture during this war been followed into disgrace and oblivion by such a dispirited, unmilitary and perfectly broken organisation as the troops now remaining with Hood. Beau regard has no army. He has charge of the low troops that are scattered at Macon, Augusta, Mobile, Charleston and other widely separated places, including the scat tered debris that remain in Mississippi.? Uragg commands at Wilmington and wo shall soon know what force he has there. From the failures of that general we have no reason to suppose that he can seriously combat the campaign at that point. If he does it will be the exception to the whole rule of bis career since this war began? His recent flaming dispatch about the inability of Sherman to reach the coast, must go far to disparage his in the estimation of the rebels. And the earns Is to be said of Beauregard, and area of Jsff. Davis himself. Never b?for*?wrre Ugh sunning pretences and predictions mora suddenly and completely confouoded than those of the President of the rebellion. He stands {now stripped of prestige in the rebel mind. He sent Hood north charged with a great mission, part of whish was to cut Sherman's connections and then whip 1 tiomaa, take Nashville and proceed to the Ohio river. He boasted that within thiP ty Jiji the principal part of this progrmme would bo carried out. But it was not.? i Very different has been the course of events, ft is a sma.l matter to Sherman as 10 what bas become of Atlanta's communications with Chattanooga. And it is a small matter now to Hood as to the communications of the latter place with Nashville. His anxiety and energy is nat urally directed to the best means of getting south ns speedily as possible. It is infi nitely more important to him that the Mo bile aud Ohio road, from Corinth to Mobile, sbculd remain intact. EutTeonessee is now cleared of the rebel j invaders. They have been foroed to re- I treat up into Virginia as far as Abingdon. -The whole State of Tennessee is onoe more completely ours?never more to be lost as we trust and believe. The fight with rebel dom is narrowing down fast to Lee's army. We all accredit that general with great skill and unceasing vigilance. His name is a tower of streogth to the Confederacy. He is their last hope. All others of their leaders have either fallen in death or pres. tige. They have no Stonewall Jackson as a reserve after Lee, or as a great co-adjutor with him. Longstreet, even the rebel pa. perssay, is aparalised invalid by reason of his wound. Bragg, Beauregard, Joe Johnson and Hood have all been tried and found inadequate to cooduct an indepen dentcampaign. The rebels hfve no leader but Lee. He alone remains. An* his army alone remainspowerful. Can he withstand Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and Thomas? Can he withstand the whole weight and force of the U. 3. by land andsea? Match less indeed must be the man I more than Napoleon! who,, hampered as Lee surely is?reduced as is his area for supplies thai still can so use the force at his com mand as to resist twice bis number, and bring success out of such imminent andin cessantoperatinnsasnow beset aud threaten the Confederacy. Unquestionable as are the abilities of Lee as a military chieftain be cannot save the rebellion when it nar' rows down to his army alone, no must have the wherewithal to foil onr plans of concentration against him. He must have railroads leading up from the South and they must drain a country in which 'meat for bis men and forage for his animals are to be had. Theo, too, he must have points from which to draw ammunition, clothing and all the immense, costly and perishable paraphernalia of war. Suppose that the available territory of the Cnltod States was limited to Pennsylvania and New York, and that the rebels possessed all else ol the conntry, and had ns, in add! tion, Olosely blockaded, would not our condition be desperate? An J yet they bare not one-hall nor one"third the re sources leit to them that those States would afford to as. South (Jorolina, North Carolina and a part of Virginia, are all that practically remain to them. From those three States, so tbinly settled, so ! poorly off for factories, so meagrely tra versed by good roads, they must now draw everything connected with the raain tainauce of Lee's army. The taking of Savannah by Sherman is only the question of a few days. And then comes the fate of South Carolina.? We know not what Sherman will do, but we may safely calculate upon his rapid and destructive activity. South Carolina will j be fatally exposed after the fall of Savan nah. The whole railroad system will be at Sherman's mercy. No Sta?te is moro vulnerable. We imagine that no time will be lost in visiting upon her with well com pounded Interest the desolation and waste which she is so largely responsible for in other States. We doubt if the coming Bpriog sees a railroad in use or usable in South Cttrolloa. In thus depicting the situation of the rebellion we do not overstate our prospects. Never were the sigos of the times so near ly all in oor lavor and against our ene Compared with' ihem our resources are still illimitable. The plethora of our pro* duction is the constant wonder of our selves. There is no end of oor capacity to prosecute tho war so long as faith and hope of success remaiu to our people.? The rebels see this. Tht-y feel that we are more united to day than ever against ihem. After all theirmock indifference, the sweep ing victory of the Administration at the polls on the 8th of last month, the almost unanimous verdict ot our people, went home to their hearts like an arrow of death. The letters of Stephens find Boyce and the many editorials of their newspapers beforehand evinced how great was their reliance upon a close contest at the polls. And now that tbey have been ?o completely disappointed in the result of Shermau's -great march, and iu the is sue of Hood's campaign, and in the inva sion of Kast Tennessee; and now that ihey ace Savannah falling and Wilmington clos ing to the outside world, and Sooth Caro lina made the theatre of a new and un exampled winter campaign; and now that tbey see their money at 4000 per ccnt. be low specie, and their capacity to produce the barest necessities of war completely frustrated, all hope of independence must die out amou<{ the massses, and they must soon reach a point beyoud which human nature is not proof against despair. | What to do with the slaves and the free negroes ii now the problem with the j Richmond rebels. The question is revived with more force than eversinoe the invest I ment of Savannah by 6herman and atnee Hood's failure at Franklin and before the fortificaiioas at Nashville. When they get I the latest news from Tennesse, we think all j -tfc* rebels will make up theU.mindfl meS i even their sYMfUfeanot aave tbetn. llM dirpaiches have already given us the sub stance of an article in the Richmond En ? quirer ot the 16th. The whole article is very interesting and significant. Amcng other things the Enquirer goes on to epeak thus: I I "When we supplicate European nations for help, we OlUSl bo prepared to receive it j ou their conditions; wnich will bs the abolition of slavery. If wo are prepared to abolish slavery, it will d9t be necessary to go to European nations for protection, they will give us not only recognition, but will follow recognition with such interven tion as will secure nationality and liberty." It goes on to state that Geo. R. E. Lee has written a letter to W. Porchor Miles, of i South Carolina, Chairman ot the House Committee on Military Affairs, in favor of armiog negroes. It argues that "Sherman, when be gets to the coast, will tarry there | only long euqupilfD rest -khd recruit his I men, aud then-wire shipping for City Point, I to act in the spring as a moveable column upon our lincB of communication!' and this necessitates a like column on oflr part." Continuing in an attempt*to show that their present army ir&toRble to stem the torrent, It Mjs: ,. "Shall we prolong the war for the sake of our negroes ? Shall we sacrifice our children to preserve our slaves ? Shall We exhaust our country, destroy our noble defenders and endanger every inatitution rather than test an experiment that toay give us the means of recruiting our army, of aagaming the offensive, nod of conqn?r ing a speedy pence? Neither rhetorio nor argument nor authority can determino whether the negroes will make for us faith ful soldiers. The experiment must test and decide this question. Gen. Lee asks that this experiment be made. For us this is sufficient. Never will we put our pre judices against his deliberate judgment and advice. He Is a rash man that doeB. He is not a wise man that imposes responsibili ties and yet withholds msans for their ac complishment.'* *' The Enquirer concludes the subject a3 follows.* 41 But we hate, detestand despiso the en emy far more tban we love and admire slavery. If our liberties cannot be gained bnt by the sacrifice of slavery, we are pre pared to make that sacrifice and to urge that sacrifice upon onr countrymen. We would not return into tho Union if every slave could be returned to hia master, and if every guarantee that human ingenuity could devise, were secured for the protec tion of the 'institution/ we prefer liberty with free society to reunion upon the se curest basis of slavery. Such we believe to be the sentiment of the people of Virgin ia; bnt we know that great moral donbts beset this quoation of arming the negroes, and yet the experiment ought to be tested, and the fact ascertained, whether negroes will make soldiers." Tub trial of Thurlow Weed for libels upon Bx-MAyor Opdyke, iu New York, grows io interest as the facts are exposed. It looks now as if Weed would more than prove the truth of bia charges. General Fremont is to be a witness, and is expect ed to tell how muoh of his Mariposa estate ' waa "gobbled" by his political friends and advisers. One of tbn minor indications of the ill feeling towards us chcrished by a part of tbe English people is afforded by tbe no generous allusions which frequently occur in some of Iheir bigber literary periodicals. Tbere is a perverse ingenuity displayed in tbe gibes which they go oat of tbe way to indulge in. Even ecienlitic discussion, ab stract and itnpersooal as it.is, is sometimes | degraded by uukind and contemptuous references to our national troubles. One would suppose that improvements in pho* tograpby and questionsin philosophy might be presented without introducing the names o( Generals whose manly and fearless pat* riotism has made them obnoxions to tbe Liverpool cotton merchants and the Tory aristocracy. But a recent quarterly re view indulges in tbe weak and contempti ble wilicism of sayiog: "if Muller bad never in au evil hour entered a photo grapher's studio, he might by this time have been distinguishing himself as a rising Federal otlicer under the command of Gen. Butler." And a writer in tbe Athenarum, in oriticising a Dictionary of slang, says, "The murder, and not the victim, is lifted to deathless fame or infamy. * * * In America tbe Federals have made awful* meaning verbs of tbe most savage of their leaders." Such flings as these would not be made if the author were not snre that tney wouia meet, wuu a cuiuum W? understand that Col. Latham has aeked for a thorough investigation into all the facts connected with tbe late affair at New Creek. In the meantime, until such examination c*n be had, tbe Grafton Journal bespeaks a suspension of judg ment and onesided criticisms, and 6ays everything that tbe character of a man who has acquitted himself from the com mencement of this rebellion until now as a patriotic soldier, is not to be lightly re garded. Por the Intelligencer. Mission Sunday School*. Of all the mean* of usefulness which are open to Christians, none is perhaps more extensive, nono fraught with deeper issues than mission work among the chil dren of the poor?those whose parents are so engrossed with daily toil, and so op pressed with care, as to what they shall eat, and what tbey shall drink and where withal tbey shall be clothed, that they take no thought for tbe spiritual wants of their children, butsuffcr them to grow up scarce ly hearing of Christ and Heaven?and the fatherless and motherless ones who are Still more to be pittied for tbey hare none to care even tor their temporal wants ? Why will not Christians more generally devote thomselves to tbe work of seeking out tbe homeless and friendless children, gathering tbem in to 8unday Schools and teaching them to remember their Creator in tbe days of their youih? and ere their hearts are hardened by sin, mould their impressible characters into all that is best and brightest in human nature.
