They urge the immediate rein i ent of his army with the earnestness of despair; for they plead that the. fate of their confederacy will be determined within the next sixty days, This means that unloss Gen. Grand shall soon olect to try the fortunes of a general engagement the necossities of General Lea will compel bim to take the in e, and that if defeated bis defeat will be the ead of the struggle. Accordingly the rebel chiefs at Richmond ave sweeping all their available forces from all quarters into the army of Lee. All thelr out- lying detachments, guerillas included, from Southwestern Virginia, East Tennessee and Kentucky, Ceorgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, are moving for Richmond and Petes burg. Such is our information from the Army of the Potomac. Lee massing 2a immense | body of troops om our left—on that Weidoa Railroad. He evidently meditates a struggle of life or death for i crashing assault with an overwhelming column, like that of Stonewall Jackson at Gaines’ Mill. To this extremity is Lee reduced by the tight- ening lines of General Graat. They must be brokea or Ricumond must.be abandoned for jack of supplies. The Army of the Potomac anticipates an attack, and, prepared at ali points, calmly awaits the opening of the crown- ing act of the drama. General Grant is not ignorant of the enemy’s movements, necessities or designs. He is ready: but he can still afford to wait; for while he is now strengthened ia everything by every day’s delay, General Lee, from his diminishing subsistence, is daily weak- ened in his weakest point. Active hostilities, meantime, in every other quarter appear to be suspended as by common consent, except at Mobile, where we conjec- ture the work of reducing the city, if not already accomplished, is actively progressing. But the grand and glorious army of General Sherman, from its arduous labors, is rest- ing at Atlanta, as an army of occupation and observation. From the railroad lines running north ang south, east and west, from that advantageous posilion, Sherman, till ready to move again, can hold the whip band over Hood. The latter would, doubtless, be re- quired, under the present emergencies of Davis, to leave Southern Georgia at the mercy of Sher- man, and repair with the bulk of his army to Petersburg, but for the difficulty of transpor- tation. As Hood is now situated, by the round- about and already overburdened roads he would have to traverse, if would occupy a month to transfer from his army to Lee a rein- forcement of ten thousand mea. At the same time Sherman, if deemed necessary, from his stronghold at A@anta, may despatch heavy re- inforcements to the assistance of Grant. It .is possible, however, that in advance of any reinforcements from Georgia to either side at Petersburg, the decisive batéle of the war, near and for the Weldon Railroad, will be fought. We believe that within the sixty days grace to Jeff. Davis allowed by the Richmond journals that city will be purged of the rebel- lion. In the meantime the present political situation in the North will destroy the last hope of the rebel leaders of a successful North- ero Presidential diversion in favor of a dis- union peace. Ig the letter of General MeCiei- lan defining bis position as the Chicago d¢mo- cratic candidate-—a letter weich demolishes the grand secession scheme of the copperheads—he has achieved one of the moat decisive Union victories of the war, and bas given the very aid to General Grant which he las most desired a “determined unity of sentiment Nortv” in bebalf of the Union. is vital Sram np Perv: APenRoN’s =Scurwes.— Our latest advices from Peru go to show that this republic has determined to abide the issne of a war with Spain, and that she is making great preparations for such a result. Thore ean be no douit that, besides the annoyance felt by the Peruvians at the seizure of the Chincha Islands by the Spanish Admiral, there exists a fear of the ulterior designs of his government; and that, in truth, Peru is making ready to bat- tle with Spain for her very existence. The people of South America must understand that Spain! urged on by France, has serious in- tentions of subverting their republics into empires, a la Maximilian, and that, encouraged by the counsels of Napoleon, the scheme will at least be attempted by Spain, who will doubtless meet with material aid from France should she fail, singly, in achieving her purpore. The King of Spain, hitherto an obscure indi- vidual, bas suddenly been foisted into great notoriety by Napoleon, who has bad the King on a visit in Paris, and seized the occasion to tender to the royal personage a reception of more than usual magnificence. This course of couduet follows—so says rumor in Europe upon the conclusion of a very close and binding aMiance between France and S affecting this continent, and in ance of Napoleon's pet scbeme—the ad- vancement of the Latin race.

ANl classes are takiug advautage of the reck- lossneas and extravagance of the day. Now that pleasure, fashion and bxpeaiiture r our people, those who cater to this. spit extravagance have becom lees as the crowds they 3 } the sharp*repot re our glorious Uuion of as daring and reck ve, and are play would have lviven the past generstion wild with disma, a game of follow ¢ Our theatres and other places of amusement have fi their prices fifty per cent; but this has bad no efvot upoa the masses. On the contrary, it is a aoticeabie fact. a sign of the times, that since the increase of prices the auldiences have in- creased in unmber. Ia short, increase is the order of the dar. Once upon a time people were content to drive two horses, aud even ove, before thelr carriages. This sum- mer nothing short of a four in band was considered the fon at Newport and such places, where some of the extra refined shoddy goutlemen drove as many as ten or twelve magnificent horses ata time. The ladies, in aspirit of emulation, got up pony teams, but were not content to drive a pair. They harnessed three, and then five, together, and had postillions and outriders, and made a show which grew greater as the season lasted. The mind becomes bewildered when reflecting upon what would have occurred had the season not drawn to a close. Taking its cue from the extravagance of the summer season, the oity is preparing to out- shine itself during the fall and winter. Tue theatres have all brightened up and refitted, and have, as we have said above, raised their prices. The Opera will be more than usually attractive and brilliant, and has also raised its price. The negro minstrels have been seized by this contagious spirit of increase, and their prices have been raised. Our fashionable shops-—milliner and such like—have given lady's bonnet—a little piece of velvet and a flower—to cap the climax, now costs one hua@red dollars, and cannot be manu- factured fast cnough to supply the de- id. Silks, satins and laces now cost eir weight in greenbacks. Gloves ace worth what was formerly considered a week’s salary for many people, while other styles of dress hbaye increased in iike ratio. The wonder of it All is that, epite of these high prices, the con- sumption.is greater than ever. But never be- fore was the general expenditure of the citizens of this metropolis so liberal, so extravagant. We are decidedly on a general raise. See the biils and posters all over the town-—the gigantic posters—and yet we kuow that paper is excessively dear. The German Opera, to eep pace with the spirit of extravagant dis- play, bas obiained the whole side of a square to paste upa huge bill in sight of all Now York. Otiier places of amusemeat emulate this reckless display. From one end of the city to the other we consiantly have before our eyes the evidences of ao unusnal and ex- travagant expenditure. We havé kept pace with this spirit—were forced to do so in self- preservation. ‘To drive away the crowds who besiege our office for more papers than we can possibly publis)—there is a limit to human energy and enterprise—we raised the price of the Hrratp. More people came than cver. We were overrun with advertisements, and raised our prices. We now have go many ad- vertisements that we don’t know what to do with them, and would like to make the for- tunes of thré& or four other journals by hand- ing them over our surplus, were it not that the public desire no other medium than the Herasy. We have no desire to check the extrava- gance we have been depicting—are well aware that it cannot be stopped. We simply wish to call the attention of thé world in general to our great prosperity, and ask it collective- ly whether such a people can be foiled, or could fail in putting down even a more formidable revolt than that of Davis and his neeguided followers. This, and nothing else, is the point of our article, and we recommend it to the careful consideration of ail our neutral friends. Tue Fart iw Goupv.—Our recent victories, the rumors of victories to come, the fact that all the Presidential candidates ave upon the wr platform, the success of the new loan, and various other causes, all combined to bring gold down to 218 or 249 on Saturday. This is a fall of twenty-one per cent in a week. if Grant should defeat Lee, a5 Sherman defeale Hood, there is no tellimg bow low gold will fatl: and the gold speculmtors and the spece tators in oval, provisions, eile and cloths will The fall of twenty-one per eont plainly showe the hollowness of this gold bubble, and convinces every one that the ex- irayagant premium is merely a trick of the epeaulators, All our merchayts and gealers--large and amiall, wholesnie and retM—have been in- creasing their pwices as the premium on gold advanced; bniti we do not notice that any of them have lowered ‘their prices now that gold bas felen. Whyis this?
