YhE END APPROACHING^
In to day'si J.nirnat it American wo givo tho details nl" nniillur of tliose glori¬ ous aoliicvouicnl.s of our nrmy unil navy, which arc f;r!i(luilly calinj; nwny tho vilnl- ity of the Southern (TonfoJcraey. Fort FLshcr, couiiiiui.diii.; llmt |;reat blocliade- runnin;.,' |oit, Wiliiiin;;tMn, is ouri. Vic¬ tories like llicso, pre,lict, uiic'rrini;lv, the speedy downfall of Iho rchelliim. It is not possible for any one lo accunituly pro Jict how soon il will eiiil, ycl a careful atul deliberate juil^uicnt mny approximate with soiiic degree of corrcctnes-i, to the hour of ultiinalo peace.
Wo derive our liiinwlcl^jo and make up our opinions by cnt|uirin^ into present nnd proxininto causes, nnd knowing thc effect of tho simple elements, we trncc thetn through their variou.s combinalions, and thus ofien arrive at very jusl conclusions, as to thc result that will be produced.
Kxamining thc profcnt condition of thc rebellious Stales aud their resources, w" find 80 iiinuy fatnl infinnifirs, thnt for them to liae to tho dignity of an independent power, i.i philosophically and politically inipo.ssiblo. Tho csscnlinl and vital olo- menls of political society do not exist, and the social dcnicnls of ."ociely are well nigh destroyed ; fo that lo ro coii.siruct or in less  equivocal   langungo   to  create anew
tion among n pooplo involved in a fierce and dcspcralo struggle to iiiaintnin tho so¬ vereignty of their country, is literally im¬ possible.
VVo know tliat n want of money or cre¬ dit must and will eventually bo disastrous to nny notion or people ; for without those thc political body is bankrupt, nnd tho ve¬ ry vitality of llie govcrnincnt is withdrawn and deciy, ruin and final destruction is in. ovitnblo. Take nwny tho nrmy and the n.ivy of a people, who aro struggling for nationality, at a timo when tlicy aro be- leagured on all sides, by u powerful and hostile foe, and tho effect is so obvious thnt wo need no argument to cgforco tho result. Thon withdraw from this self con¬ stituted governmeut the confidence of the people, at a timo when tho publio safety is insecure, nnd the physical powor is at onco so diminished that rcsislnnce is hopeless. Ulockodo tho ports of a country and drive uway her conrj.croe, lay waste hor towns, march a numerous and powerful nrmy be¬ fore her enpitol and array beforo hor cities on tho Gulf, and elsewhere, (not already oaptured) hostilo fleets, and her energy however great will flag, her hopo uf final success will go out, her prospool of indo. pendcnce must vanish.
After all this, present to thc minds of n degraded and abused race tho high hope of liberty, nnd hold out before that race tho poBiibility of breaking asunder thc banda of their political degradation, and by every rtasonable inducament encourage the oppressed to rise against the oppressor and there is uo b'iiuan power than oan avert the oalaraity of total annihilation.— Finally offer conditional torms to tho offen¬ ders, to tbat when their triuiet  have not
been too great, they may return to tho fur- giving indulgence of the nationality they havo outraged nnd again swear allegiance and loyalty to a legitimate and sovereign power, and in our judgment the end of treason nnd rebellion approaches. Take these successive steps as the Fcdcrnl Gov- crntnont hns, ngainst rebellious citizens, nnd.prcss them up to the fearful extremi¬ ties to whicii tho confederates arc now for¬ ced, and what pcojilc can endure or with¬ stand thcin.
Tho ftrugglo of death and the final con¬ vulsions may beleriililo, but the lifo of the rebellion is destroyed, and if thc last throes nf its ngony even indli^ntn n rovivinj; pulse thc instability pf a feverish cxcilonient is a double guarautcc that the end approach¬ es. Wo hnve now only partially eiiuuier- atcd tho resisting forces that havo been employed to provent thc creation of a Sou¬ thern confederacy, and when wc ndd to these the cxhuusting powers that nr* con¬ tinually at work nt her vitals, cau wo hesi¬ tate to believe thnt her existence must go out while sho is being born, Tho Govern¬ ment in the majesty of clornnl right will overwlioliu her encmioH, and out-rido the storm of rebellion and treason; and in less than six wionths dictato terms of peace nnd compel submis.sion.
«grWc make the following citraot from a letter received by a gentleman of this county from his son. It is dated at "Uedloo Island, Jnn. 13ili," nnd after sta¬ ling that he hnd been removed from Wil- Icld' I'oint to that placo, tho writer says :
"Ilnd it not been fur Iho money I took with me, I certainly would have .stiirvod by Ihis time. I wont tn tho tablo once since I came hero, and that done mc.

IlKMAltKAiiLK I'liKDlCTio.N.—Hon. Uo¬ bert J. Walker, in a speech on Thanksgi¬ ving dny, in London, l.S(ii», gnve utter¬ ance to tho following rcmarkablo predic¬ tion :
"And now thu Union troops hold Clint- lanooga, the great iiiiprcgnablo fortress of Northwestern Georgia. From Chottnnoo- ga, which may be regarded us the great geographical central pivot point of the ro¬ bellion, the armies' of tho Kepublic will march duwn tlirough the heart of Georgia, and jiiiii out iruups upun iiiu soubuuru uf that Stale, and thus Icrmiunto tho rebel¬ lion."
Commenting on this, tho Albany Even¬ ing Journal says :
"This prophecy has been fulfilled to tho letter. If the words had been framed io¬ lo a Gcnerai order issued by the Comman¬ der in-Chiof of ournriuics, Shurniancould not have more faithfully obeyed. .Starting from Chattanooga, ho has muruhud down through the heart of Georgia, and 'joined our iroops upon tho seaboard of that State.' Let us hope that the laltor partof the pre¬ diction will be ci|ually literally fulfilled ; that th^ capture uf Savannah will provo the bcginniffg of the end of the rebellion.'
J®. Twenty men and fifteen blood¬ hounds pursued some escaped Federal sol¬ diers iu Georgia bcforo Sherman's nrrivnl. Ouc poor fellow finding tho dogs close up on them, and no chance of escape prtscn- ting ilsc!f, climbed on tho porch of a house und waited till thc parly oamo up. Enraged thnt their thirst for Yankee bloud had not been grnlified, tlioy made hiiu como down to them, then knockcd'hiin in thc head with a inuskot, foinicd a ring, put tho dogs in it, nnd threw him to them. llo was terribly torn, and soon after died. Another named Pntterson, a more boy, knocled down and prayed thcso human fiends not to Ict the dogs tear hitu ; but to no purpose. Ho was forced down, then kicked in thc fuee, all his front teeth bro¬ ken out, and he rendered insen.°iblo tbrowu into the ring. Tho dogs hi>d satiated themselves with blood, and refused to touch him.

A RECOLLECTION OF 1812.
There is now a scene of luin on the margin of Lnke Erie, n fow iniles from Bufliulo, whero, in 1812, thero stood a strong fort, with walls so thick that they might seem lo defy ony foo. The fort was held by thc Americana lo ihe lastcxtrcm- ily. When tho British believed they should bo ablo to tnkc. it, thero was n tre¬ mendous explosion. Onco beforo thero had been nn explosion, which had cost tho livca of several hundreds of our .soldiers ; but only ono lifo was lost on this occasion, and thnt was thc lifo of a horo. The ,\ni- ericans fuund themselves obliged to aban¬ don the fort, and, for thc sake of the lown of IJufi'alo nnd the whole of the neighbor¬ ing frontier, ono mnn n iiiained lo blow up the magazine. Tho liuffulo pooplo knew when tho deed was done, for' tlicir win¬ dows wore destroyed by thc explosion.— Hugo frngmonts of tho mas.sy wall.i now lio overgrown with tall grasses, and brist¬ ling with bhrubbcry. The griin forest stretches it.s dark pnlisndc behind, with Iho ruins of n deserted houso wilhin its shadow; and before spreads thc wasto uf waters, with gull.i dipping and flflaling.— In the very midst of thc fort lies a pool, overhung by a single birch ; nnd nn the bulrush sways Iho solitary snipe, regard¬ less of the nicdilatlvo stranger.
This was in 1812, thc strong nnd busy Fort Krie—tho terror of Indians, nnd iho coveted of thc English ; hut Iho Knglis'i ncTcr obtained it. Nnt tho moro for this were thc Buffalo people safo. Among the families, Ihero was ono who.»c lot ia a fair sample uf thc fortunes of borderers in thoso dnys—hard as it seems lo believe thut fucli things could havo hnppenod so lately. First, tho head nf the faniily and his eldest son were drowned in crossing thc neighboring forry, on military service. When the storming uf Fort Erie wns ap¬ proaohing, the widuw sent uway her young children inlo the country, in a wagon, under tho cnre of her son in-hiw nnd his wife. The dilliculty of getting away was extreme, and the party had not gone far when Ihoy fell in with some Indians, who turned Ihcm back. Somo incident having drawn off tho allention of tho savages, thc brotherin law wheeled his wtigon into the woods and got off. But ho bad no means of sending warning to tho widow nnd her two daughters in Buffalo, whom he was to have convcyod awny the next morning.
Thc ladies wero on the w,itch, however. For three weeks they hnd lain down in their clothes—-one wnteliing while tho other slept. Thc ordinary dread of on in vading enemy is wholly unlike, in kind and degree, the loathing with which tha white Americans regard nn Indian foe—a foo which will seize a settler's fainily du¬ ring his absence and leave their limbs, tnngacs, and e:irs stuck upon tho pailings of his dwelling, tn inform him, on his re¬ turn, what has become of thom. Tho in- siduoiis nnd cruel enemy were known to bo near; und in the lown were mony who wero burning with injuries inliictcd by their barbarity. Worn out by drcod ond expectation, tho widow ond her daughters conld snnlch but a troubled sleep nt best. From this they were awakencci twico this night; once early, whon it was found that the drum hnd given a false alarm. At four in the morning, tho hoorso drum was again heard ; and, deadly sick at heart, iho lodics Sprang from their beds. Tho younger sister (sixteen) stole to a bnck window; and thc cider looked into the street. She sow by tho torchlight the soldiers pnrt and fly ; bnt her sister saw, in tho uncertain glimmer of thc dawn, something worse. An intcrminnblc num¬ ber of pointed savages wero Icnping Ihc garden fence-leapiiignlong tbo walks liko kangoroos, flourishing their tomnhnwks for a blow upon the house door. It was too lato to fly. Before tho front door oould bo opened, tho bnck windows came crnsh- ing in, und thc yelling savages seized thc Indies.
Tho captives put on tho most submis- sivc air^iissible. A woman on thc oppo¬ sita door stop lay tomahawked from hnving defied tho Indians. ,Samo squliws drove these ladies through tho streets, between burning houses, and among bleeding corpses, to tho British encampment. Tho British commander could do iiothing with helpless women in his camp, and ho sent tho ladies home, undor the caro of on en¬ sign and a privato, who had extreme difli¬ culty in saving thc women and their house. For two diys it wns n constant struggle at tho door; and al thc ond of that time tho houso was almost the only one loft stand¬ ing. Tho flumes werfr in somo places ac¬ tually slaked with blood. A fuw of tho inhabitants barricoded ihonisclrcs in the jail; others itolo out to the woods with tbeir money, ond whatever tboy oould car¬ ry about tbem. When tho Indians found nothing more to burn and destroy, they went elsewhere ; nnd tho inhabitants be¬ gan to creep to tho town, shivering and half famished. Tho window^ of the now luno houses  were oartfully darkened, tnd
a Inrgo   firo kept up all tho d,'iy nnd night : NOVEL MARRIAGE.

You nro bound to pleaso your children ; nnd your children aro bound to plesso ench olhcr; and you are bound to plensc your servants if you expect them to pleaso you. Homo men nro pleasant in thr household, nnd nowhere else. I havo known snch mon. They were good fathers and kind husbands. If you h.nd teen them in their own houso you would hnvo thought that they wero an¬ gels olmosl; but if you had seen Ihem in thc street, or in Ihc atore, or anywhere else outsido thn houso, you would have thought thcin almost demoniac.
