, that originally recommended by General Scott, which was the occupation of the Mississippi Valley and the bisection of the remaining portion of the Confederacy through Tennessee and Georgia. We have not before us the letter of General Scott to Lincoln, in which he laid down his plans in detail, but, as far as we can recollect, they correspond substantially with the recent movements of the Federal troops, especially those under General Sherman. The impatience and hot haste of the Federal Govehe shall enjoy all the satisfaction he can derive from that admission. We wonder how the old man, now tottering on the confines of the grave, feels as he thinks of the part he has played in this terrible tragedy. We know that he advised Mr. Lincoln, before giving him his plan for the prosecution of the war, to say to the Seceding States, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace"; and, yet, knowing that this was the course which wisdom and humanity alike dictated, he lent his powerful aid to a c

prisoners have passed, to ask them questions, and draw them out on the prevalent Yankee ideas of the war, how long it will last, and other matters of interest on that absorbing subject. We pass over the want of dignity in holding unnecessary intercourse with men who are plundering our houses, burning our mills, destroying our provisions, and seeking to reduce us to starvation. We pass over the fact that no thing can be learned from such inquiries that is of interest for us to know.--Mr. Lincoln himself has told us all that is worth knowing. But if people must hold conversation with the Yankees, they need not be at the trouble to begin it. If they will only let the Yankees alone, they will talk them to death in five minutes. Washington Irving says that the term Yankee is derived from an Indian word, Yankees, meaning silent men, which the Indians ironically bestowed upon them in consequence of their incredible loquacity. It is reversing the order of things to ask questions of a

arrying on irregular and illegal warfare. The person who testified to his confession of having set on fire Barnum's Museum and one of the hotels in the lower part of the city was not under duress or an accomplice, was a reluctant witness, and could have had no motive to make a false statement. He is corroborated by other testimony. A Yankee sensation — the "rebellion" dead again. The New York papers have a new sensation, and this time have pronounced the Confederacy dead, and Coroner Lincoln sitting upon the body. A Washington telegram of the 20th, in the New York Herald, says: The Administration has received direct intelligence from Richmond, within the last forty eight hours, to the effect that Jeff. Davis, as well as General Lee, gives up the ship. Jeff. Davis has also proposed to withdraw from the contest himself and leave the arbitrament of the whole affair to General Lee and General Grant. Let those two generals settle the terms of adjustment. This fact

and Russia because the latter has gained the ascendancy at Washington, and because it was by the advice of Russia that Mr. Lincoln consented to go to meet the Confederate Commissioners at Fortress Monroe! The logic of the thing, you will see, is inmental papers. This dispatch says it speaks by high authority, and then gives the various pretended points offered by Mr. Lincoln to the Confederate commissioners, every one of which is false, and intended to place Mr. Lincoln in an odious light beMr. Lincoln in an odious light before the European people. The last promise of Mr. Lincoln to the South is, that he is willing to unite with them in a war against France and England. The fall of Charleston — Comments of the press. In the absence of later news from AmericaMr. Lincoln to the South is, that he is willing to unite with them in a war against France and England. The fall of Charleston — Comments of the press. In the absence of later news from America, which was anxiously expected, the result of the fall of Charleston continued to be eagerly canvassed. The London Times, in an editorial recounting and eulogizing the operations of Sherman down to the fall of Charleston, says: The next ope
