The Rebellion Crushed in the South- ‘Wwest—Lee’s Army the Last Hope of Davis. Had we entertained any doubt that the re- bellion was crushed in the Southwest with the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, that doubt would have been dispelled by the facts which we derive from the Richmond Whig in regard to the heavy disaster suffered by the rebels with the expulsion, by General Sherman, of Joe Johnston from the city of Jackson, Mississippi. According to the testimony of the Whig, Jobnston’s hurried evacuation, under cover of the night (which was the only course left him to save his entire army from capture), turned over into our possession all the rolling stock, including forty locomotives, of all the railroads of Mississippi radiating from Jackson, east, west, north and south. This loss to the re- bellion is truly described as “incalculable and wholly irreparable;” for it must be remem- bered that there are no railway locomo- tive factories between Richmond and the Mexican boundary, excepting, perhaps, a small cobbling establishment here and there, the business of which is the mending and not the making of engines. It follows that, with the rout of Johnston’s army and the losses of these indispensable means of transportation at Jack- son, not only is the rebellion in Missisatppi com- pletely subjugated, but that, in connection with the operations of Rosecrans, it is virtually sub- dued in Alabama and is staggering to its fall in Georgia. In fact, the army of General Lee is now the only hope of Jeff. Davis. What, then, is most likely to be the policy of the rebel leaders with regard to this army? It has been tried against our Army of the Potomac, and has nar- rowly escaped annihilation, Lee has evidently no desire for another trial as the two armies now stand in regard to numbers and efficiency.

Important from New OricamsActual Resumption of Trade om the Missis- sippi. The news from New Orleans which we pub- Mish this morning is of the highest practical importance. The Mississippi river, so long threatened aud blockaded by powerful rebel fortifications, is once more opened to free and untrammelled navigation. The first arrival from St. Louis at New Orleans on the 17th instant, was the steamer Imperial, and no wonder that the occurrence created the greatest joy and enthusiasm among the people. An- other eteamer called the Sallie List had also arrived from Vicksburg, after landing a quan- tity of grain at Port Hudson, and she reports numerous vessels as preparing for the resump- tion of their former regular trips. The Im- perial—the pioneer of them all—had started from New Orleans on her return trip up the river, amid the acclamations of thousands. These are positive and truly practical results, which have not been slow to follow the late achievements of the army and navy of the United States. By far the most auspicious results of these brilliant successes is the resump- tion of the immense trade of the Mississippi river from St. Louis to New Orleans. For the last two years all the commercial cities of that region had been languishing on account of the cessation of the river trade; but now that the surrender of Vicksburg and Port Hud- son has cleared the river of the last remnant of rebel control a great activity has sprung up among the boatmen, shippers and merchants of the Southwest. From two to three large steam- boats leave St. Louis daily, bound for Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez and New Orleans; and al- though the great cotton staple cannot count for much at present, still that deficit is more than counterbalanced by the enormous shipments of army supplies and by the passenger traffic in connection with the army; so that, on the whole, larger profits are realized now out of the trade of the Mississippi than at any previous period. The price of beats has gone up from two to three hundred per cent, and, in fact, boats can- not be procured at any price. In connection with this movement the Post- master General bas just announced his intention to resume the forwarding of the New Orleans mails by the river route—a work which will have a good effect in strengthening the confi- dence and loyalty of all the people of that re- gion. The direct and immediate advantages that must follow the resumption of trade cannot fail to have their effect even on the disloyal in- habitants, completing by the arguments of peace the work which is progressing so favora- bly with the harsher arguments of war. , Some little trouble seems still to We ap- Prehended from efforts of guerilla parties slong the banks to interrupt navigation; but there need be very little fear on that score. Ad- miral Porter will take good care that the great work in which he has borne so conspicuous a part will not be frustrated by any such means; and we may safely leave it to him, aided by Ellet’s Marine Brigade, to render the navigation of the Missiesippi as peaceful and uninterrupted as that of the Hudson or the Delaware. We are at the last chapter of the great rebellion. The Duty and Policy of the Govern- ment=The Future of the Republic. At the conclusion of the Punic war, when the Italian confederacy had been subdued by Rome, Sylla turned the combined armies of the Romans and the Italians against Mithridates, King of Pontus, and not only punished this ancient enemy of the Romans for his sympathy with the insurgent Italians, but also largely in- creased the power and glory of the Roman re- public and more firmly reunited the once divided people. This Punic war was in many remarkable respects precisely similar in its causes, its progress and its result to that now raging in this country; and, if our statesmen will but profit by the teachings of history, the parallel between these two great wars will be continued to the sequel. In a few months more the rebellion, now shattered by a-series of deci- sive defeats, will be entirely suppressed; and already the necessities the probabilities and the possibilities of the future press themselves upon the attention of all those who are saga- cious enough to understand that the end of the war is not the end of all our difficulties, and that much remains to be done after the work of subduing the rebellion by military force is completely finished. Within a few days past it has been satisfac- torily demonstrated that the recent successes of our arms and the almost entire exhaustion of the rebel resources make the speedy conclusion of our civil war a matter of certainty. But, when the last rebel stronghold is taken, when all the rebel armies are captured or destroyed, and when the rebel leaders have either sought safety in flight or are prisoners in our hands, only one-half-of our labor is accomplished. Our government will then find itself with an immense veteran army for which to provide. At the South will be another great army of ex- perienced soldiers, heartily tired of rebellion, but not tired of fighting. At the North all branches of trade, commerce and manufacture will be as seriously embarrassed by the sudden change from war to peace as they were, three years ago, by the sudden change from peace to war. At the South the insane eagerness of the rebel leaders to concentrate every possible en- ergy upon the prosecution of the war has left the seceded States destitute of any provision for peaceful times, whether as regards the eotton, sugar, rice and tobacco crops, or the usual manu- factures in all departments of industry. This state of affairs, North and South, will greatly complicate the difficulties of the government in providing for the disbanded armies; for the Northern soldiers cannot safely be.sent home to add to the distresses of a financial and com- mercial crisis, and the Southern soldiers will have no alternatives but to turn brigands and guerillas or starve. The best and most expe- dient course for the government, therefore, is to preserve and unite the armies of the North and the South and find some suitable employ- ment for this tremendous and invincible force. ‘The examplo of the Romans under Sylla, at the close of a similar war and ina similar dilemma, is consequently worthy of our imitation. Fortunately, like Sylla, we have the argu- ments of right and justion, as well as those of expediency, in support of this course. Eng- land and France have sympathized with and encouraged the rebels more openly, zealously Ttabian confederacy. ~ expestation of foreign ald there! never travebeen organized. Without the constant but delasive promises of foreign interventiow the rebellion would long ago have died a natural death. Without the continual supplies of foreign arms, munitions and manufactures the rebellion could not have s@rvived more than a year at most. From its very inception up to the present time England and France have been participants in the crime of the rebellion and have reaped all its advantages. Upon what pretence, then, can they claim to escape its punishment? They have been secretly but diligently making war upon us for over two years, and it is quite time that we began to retaliate. The United States have never provoked a war with either England or France. They ‘have attacked us, not only without provocation, but at a time when we were involved in domestic difficulties and could not protect ourselves effectually. England, de- liberately trampling upon its own Laws, has fol- lowed up its recognition of the belligerent rights of insurgents by supplying the rebels with arms, ammunition and money, and, while affecting to observe a hypocritical neutrality, has bullt, manned and fitted out rebel priva- teers, and is now engaged in constructing a fleet of iron-clads for rebel use, Our comment upon such cowardly and treacherous proceed- ings should be a declaration of war. The Em- peror of the French has repeatedly urged other governments to join him in openly recognizing the Southern confederacy, and has only re- frained from recognising it by himself because, having cunningly robbed France of ber liberty and Italy of her hopes, he has been attempting to steal part of this continent while we were occupied with our civil war, a8 a smart thief takes advantage of a ‘street fight to pick the pockets of both combatants. The honor and integrity of this republic alike demand that this imperial adveoturer shall be punished as he de- serves. In a word, then, it is our duty aa well as our interest to attack England and France as soon as this war is concluded. The Southern people are equally incensed against Europe for holding out false and deceitful promises, not one of which has ever been fulfilled, and will gladly fight with us in such a cause. Thus all animosities between the North and the South will be lost in the common interests and fortunes of such a conflict; all the social and political problems which threaten to perplex us will be easily solved; all the dangers of a too sudden recurrence to peace will be avert- ed; our gallant soldiors and brave generals will be gloriously employed; the military and naval talent of our citizens, just beginning to show itself in numerous improvements in the method and the materia of wars, will be suitably de- veloped; France will be driven out of Mexico and England from Canada, and the United States, more powerful, than ever before, will embrace this whole continent, and, like ancient Rome, practically rule the world.

It is made of solid eighteen carat gold, fourteen pounds of which have been used in its manufactare. It is thirty inches long, and otherwise shaped in proportion. The total cost was $7,000. It should be stated, moreover, that it is furnished with a music box, which performs the national airs of ‘Sweden, besides the tunes most in favor in this country. In the early part of next week it will be taken on to ‘Washington and exhibited before the President, Secreta- ry of the Navy and other members of the Cabinet. Howvor to Waom Dur.—There seems to be an error in regard to the officer named General William Hays who participated in the late battles in Maryland. The officer thus alluded to must be General Alexander Hays, com- manding the Third division, Second Army corps, but who formerly commanded the brigade consisting of the Thirty ninth, One Hundred and Eleventh, One Hundred and Twenty-fifth and One Handred and Twenty-sixth New York Volunteers—the brigade being still attached to hie division, General Alexander Hays is an old soldier; and as the only legacy be expects to leave his children ‘will be @ long list of hard fought battles in this war ‘and in Mexico, it is but fair end proper that there should be no mistake about his identity, amd that he should reap all the honors he bas won.

TERMS TO BE OFFERED TO THE SOUTH—WHY SO- LICITOR GENERAL WHITING GOBS ABROAD—OUR FORKIGN RELATIONS, BTO. Wasnincton, July 24, 1863. ‘The movement under the leadership of Mr. Seward, having for its object the offer of liberal concessions to the insurgents and the ending of the present war, bas re- ceived an impetus from the news which has just reached here from our foreign ministers in London and Paris. It is now admitted by the most sanguine members of tho administration that never were our foreign affairs in #0 menacing a state. England—so the official advices indi- oste—bas determined to furnish the South with an fron-clad navy, including ships, guus and seamen. Tt is equally certain that tbe Emperor of France lias made up his mind deGnitely to interfere in our domestic affairs. It is true that at the date of the last advices from abroad the impression was general in Europe that Lee would de feat Meade’s army, Whsbington be captured and Balti- more and Philadelphia seized, while the Northern States seemed apathetic and indisposed to continue the war; ‘but this condition of things only finally determined the English and French governments to pursue a policy which they bad all along been prepared to pursue, aud which comported with their interests and sympathies. ‘The changed condition of affairs due to the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and the rebel defeat at Get- tysburg will not, it 1 believed by the most sagacious of the friends of the administration, alter the character Of the action which France and England have hoally determined to adopt. The appearance of a fleet of French vessels at New Orleans, to protect the interests of the creole population at that point, and the sailing of a very large tron-clad fleet from the English ports, are certain to take place. Indeed, it is understood here that the real peril to the North will come whon it is @pparent to the Emperor Napoleon and the Bri- tish Cabinet that there is a strong probability of the overthrow of the South as agmilitary power. ‘So long as the contest was an even one, they could afford to be neutral and let the matter be fought out; but the ‘moment there is a danger of the North overpowering the South, then intervention will be tried to compel a separa- tion upon which both England and France are deter- mined—England to cripple the power of this great repub- lic, and France to preserve ber dominion in Mexico. There is no doubt that if the North and South were to Come together, France would immediately be compelled to relinquish her hold upon Mexico, and this Louis Napoleoa is determined shall not happen. Hence, it ts argued, he will take time by the forelock, aid the South against the North, carn « title to its gratitade, and thus retain his nold upon Mexi- co and pursue bis schemes in Central America. England also is aware that should the Union be restored it will find both North and South embittered against her and ready far war, It is a matter of cortainty—and the Eng- lish understand it well—that the American republic wil follow the example of the old Roman republic, which always embarked upon a foreign war after a civil convul- sion 80 as to induce a unity of national spirit. With these indications before them, and with the dispatches of our ministers and consuls abroad, Mir. Seward and the President are convinced that this {is the most critical time, © far as regards our relations with foreign Powers, that we have had since the commencement of the war. We cannot afford to permit England to destroy our commerce, nor allow Frame to pursue ber designs on New Urieans. This state of affairs has made the President and Secretary of State anxious to settle up our present quarrel. They see very clearly the straite of Jeff. Davis and the rebel government—indeed, their absolute despair—as is shown From what I bear | am inclined to sures are pow on foot looking to this ‘not impossible that we may see a sudden change of par- ties in Bhe United States within the next month—that Governor Seymour, Valiandigbam ; and the odds and ends of the democratic party, and the conservative republi- cans, may be found to be the warm supporters of Presi- Gent Lincola and his able Secretary of State; while the Tepublican presses and orators—the Sumners, Philiipses, Wilsons, Wades, Chandlers, with the Tribune, 2imes, Post, and all the agency of the radicals—will be brought sident. Of course the whole shoddy interest tn the war, and the enormous sums interested in the mov, ing of armies, will be bitterly opposed to any adjustment But the prospect of peace, North and South, will, it is be- lieved, rally the bulk of the people of the North to the standard of the administration, provided it witl decide upon some such course. Tho lester of the Solicitor General (Whiting), asserting that the administration must oontinue in ite negro policy, no matter what emergency arises, is understood to be the occasion of that gentleman being sent abroad. His letter ‘was a move oa the part of the radicals to commit the go- vernment unofficially to the negro policy. His being set aside at this time ts an fedication that different counsels are beginning to prevail In the White House, and there is hope that the whole abolition gang will goon be thrown. out. Of course, reunion at this stage of the war will ingolve the necessity of the administration changing its abolition policy. The programme is, that the Territories, as decided, in the recent Congress, shail remain free forever, thus proventing the extension of slavery, Mlaves (reed bythe march of our armies will remain free.

His representative in the cogerreaee lately known as that of Virginia will be Gen. Naglec, and wm the department lately. known as North Carolina, Gen. Paimer. Naglee will probably institute many much needed reforms in tbie part of his command. Captain George H. Jobnstom officiates in his old capacity as Ansistant Adjutant Genoral to General Naglee. What- ever changes, if any, General Naglee may think necessary to make in the administrative or executive officers in this region—and a very important region it is—wiil be made under due advisement, aud with a single eye to the enbancement of the public good.
