e of this Government to terminate a long and bloody struggle, and it has had the result of inducing our enemies, in a moment of unguarded triumph, to disclose their real designs and purposes. There can hereafter be no sort of misconstruction of their object. They have not left a peg to hang a doubt on. We know exactly what we have to expect, and can govern ourselves accordingly. It was worth all the seeming humiliation of going on such a mission, and being cooped up in a steamboat at Fortress Monroe, to hear from the lips of Lincoln and Seward the final assurances of United States policy. These assurances, accompanied by the legislation of the Federal Congress, have presented a plain and distinct issue, on which no single soul in the Confederacy can henceforth doubt or hesitate. Hereafter, we take it, there will be no humiliation, either real or only apparent, in the action of the Confederacy. No more war hawks, disguised as white-winged messengers of Peace, will be permitte

is said, by a high official, to be that, if he were to disclose what he knew, the very purpose to be accomplished might be baffled entirely. Advices from Fortress Monroe this afternoon are to the effect that Mr. Lincoln found them more disposed to reconciliation than he had anticipated, and that he will return to-night, reachi they once dearly loved, or shall we take them back to meet the free people of the free States of America? Whatever Mr. Lincoln's policy is, whether he is at Fortress Monroe or in the city of Washington, we believe he possesses the supreme attribute of rewarding the friends of the Union, and forgiving the enemies of the Union, whot, everything else is lost sight of. The newspaper officers have been thronged all the afternoon with people eager to catch the latest rumors and reports from Fortress Monroe. There are gamblers, even, who are going about willing to bet that an armistice will be announced before to-morrow night, and that peace and re-union will fo
