THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON OITY: | TUESDAY. MAY 26, 1363. So BBADING MATTER ON SVERY PAGE SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER, | GRANT'S VICTORIES. i 3 death Grant's victories are the rebellio biows. They involve the almo-’ : ire de- struction of the great rebel army oft --outh- west, with its vast accumulated ms! il. As the success and preservation of ti army intact, was necessary to prevent our c tol of | the entire Mississippi river, its destr tion as explained above insures ‘iat to us, Wit. allits momentous consequences both to the Union | cause and that of the rebellion. Without the use of the railroads of Mississippi and Louisiana, and unimpeded other lines of communication and transportation across the river, further resistance to our arms in Arkan- sas, Louisiana, Southern Missouri and Texas, must apeedily cease, and the millions on mil- lions worth of vitally necessary supplies from the southwestern section of the Confederacy, ‘will no more reach the armies of Bragg, Lee and Beauregard. Chief among the momentous consequences of Grant’s victories is one involving & ‘vast series | by-the-by, that as yet has attracted little public ; attention. With the armies of Pemberton and Joe Johnston virtually destroyed, as they prob- | ably have been, the authority of the United States 12 re-established over the territory bor- dering the Mississippi from its mouth to its sources. From New Orleans to the Kentucky line, that region for twenty miles back on each bank of the river being the great cotton and sugar producing belt, contains the aggregation ot the slaveholding interest in whose nominal behalf this atrocious war was conceived and is being waged. That interest now lies hope- lessly powerless there, at the feet of the Gov- ernment. The result of this fact will be the enlistment either in active regiments or the ser- vice of our quartermaster’s and commissary's departments, of three or four hundred thou- sand blacks in a very brief period of time— thus subtracting so many human elements of the war’s successful prosecution from the side of the rebellion, and transfering them to our | side, to the dismay of the oligarchy and the eventual total prostration of the rebelliom Months ago we ceased to have fears of an- archy and universal ruin to grow out of the violent change in the status of society in the South, which at the beginning of the war we thought we clearly foresaw, if the contest be- came a protracted one. Southern society, hap- pily, itselfin vented a fortunate solution of that difficulty the moment it realized the awful consequences of the success of the Oligarchy’s conspiracy to the extent it had succeeded. We mean to the extent of the initiation of the de- | We here refer to | struction of the instituion. the plan suggested by the planters of Louisiana to Major General Banks, for the employment of the freed negroes not required in the mili- tary service of the Government. That plan guarantees fair wages to the late slaves, to be paid by their former owners, and also guaran- | tees fair labor on the part of the negroes, to be enforced by the power of the United States | | Government. | | No three other elements calculated to have as much influence in expediting the termina- tion of the rebellion could possibly enter into the contest as these three explained above—that | of giving the Government an unlimited supply | of troops; that of depriving the rebels of the services of their millions of slaves on the Mis- | sissippi; and that of demonstrating to the satis- taction of the loyal every where, that freeing the slaves does not result in insurrection, universal | murder of non-combatants and utter demoral- ization of society, as was so generally articipa- ted, and that it promises as valuable industrial results to the whole country as were enjoyed before the war began under the system of sla- very destroyed by the madness of those who were its chiet beneficiaries. ee LATE FROM VICKSBURG.

The dispatch further says that the mortar and gunbosts were in front of Vicksburg hard at work. Cairo, May 23—10 p. m.—No boats from below had arrived at Memphis up to nine o’clock to-night. Ail the boats at Milliken’s Bend have been sent up the Zazoo river for the purpose, doubtless, of meeting any possible contingency. It may, ‘therefore, be twenty-four hours be- fore we have anything definite. The last posi- tive dispatches came to-day by the Polar Star, which left the mouth of the Yazoo at one o'clock Thursday.

The Richmond Whi7 of the 23d, admits that the fall of Vicksburg will be attended with deplorable consequences to the Confeders cutting it in twain, creating increased « siasm at the North, strengthening Lincoln’s Government, reviving the spirit of volunteer- ing, crushing peace parties, raising our money credit, and awing foreign governments into permanent silence. With so much at stake, it is little wonder that the rebels make a desper- ate struggle for the possession of Vicksburg. The Whig, however, endeavors to keep up the courage of its readers by enumerating the resources still left them, and says: hould Pemberton and his whole ari captured, there will still left in the west materials for ay arge uriny under Johnston. Pemberton’s wien will soon be re- turned to duty by exchange, the balance being new greatiy in our favor. Besides Johnston’s | army, there will be others as large, or iarger, under Lee, B:auregard and Bragg. ‘Yhe com- hined forces of Kirby Smith, Magruder and Price make an army nearly equal to either of the above.

A Reber TuRear.—The Richmond Ezami- ner of the 23d has the following noticeable par- agraph: «There is really no occasion for panic about Vicksburg. Whatever may be the result of military operations around it, their interest will soon be eclipsed by far greater events else- where. Within the next fortnight the campaign of 1563 will be prett} well decided. The most ; important movements of the war will probably be made in that time. If the Confederate stan- dard is again victorious, as may be hoped with much and solid reason, although mere victory will not end the war, it will destroy the ef- ficiency of the enemy’s army for the Testof this year. If we gain all that is now fairly possible, an entirely new character will be given to fu- ture operations, which will relieve the country of half the suttering it ‘has hitherto endured. Now is the noble day, the fortunate hour for the Confederate army. At this time, if ever, let every man be at his post.” The Examiner has on other occasions lately attracted attention by its rather ostentatiously paraded hints that Gen. Lee purposes entering upon an immediate offensive campaign in this direction. F It has not been the habit of the Confederate papers to give us any clue to their proposed movements, and it is not supposed that the Kr- aminer is sufficiently in the confidence of the rebel leaders to enable it to speak authori- tively of their plans. But if they really do intend te come out from their defensive po- sition to challenge a fair field fight, we take it that Hooker and his army will not ba at all dissatisfied with such an aspect of the cam- paign, ete tate a7The Charlesion papers report the loss of, another of the blockading ste&mers, She ran on the wreck of the Georgiana, and was totally lost.
