His situation is a perilous one already, and growing worse every day ; for he is losing men-in battle, by disease and de serti`on,and by expiration of terms of service -alrnost hourly. His army is dirninish,ing,onrs rapidly increasing ; and his will continue to diminish and ours to increase. If he cannot take Atlanta to- day, he will be still less able to capture it to-morrow, and the next day and the next. urn. I ' - No one would grieve for the loss of the city of Atlanta more than we; and few, perhaps, less apprehend its `loss. We learn from both public and private sources, that new troops, in large num- bers, are daily joining Hcod s army. Vl'e hear thattliere are many more on the way to join it; and expect, daily, to hear that all Sherman s lines of commu- nication with his base of operations are cut. We hear of no fresh troops on their way to join him. Kentucky is full of `rebel guerillas. A general rebellion against the Federal government is daily apprehended. More Federal troops are needed there, and are earnestly called for; but the United States government , can spare none to send. If Kentucky be lost to them, Sherman's army is cut o 3 and must be lost also. Better savvKen- l tucky than lose both Sherman and Ken- tucky, by sending troops to him and leaving her undefended. To lose her would involve the loss of his army, no matter how large it be, for it would be cut off from supplies. (L `If. LA--- .I.., 1 .1 ,vuu5 luau an uu: uuucx-slluly.

Was not the first Mrs. Gilbert specially happy to have died young? was it an enormous privilegeso to die, and to be renowned ever afterwards as having done something meritorious, when, for the matter of that, other peo- - ple would be very happy to die young if - they could`! Isabel thought ofthis with - some sense of injury. Long ago, when her brothers had been rude to her, and her stepmother had upbraided her upon the subject of a constitutional unwilling- ness to fetch butter and "back tea- ` spoons, she had wished to die young, leaving a legacyof perpetual remorse to those unfeeliug relatives. But the gods had never cared any thing about . her. She had kept `on wet boots some- times after backing spoons in bad weather, in the fund hope that she might thereby fall into a decline. She had pictured herself in the little bedroom at Camberwcll, fading by inches, with be- coming hectic spots on her cheeks, and imploringherstepmother tocall her early; which desire would have been the con- verse of the popular idea of the ruling passion, inasmuch as in her normal state of health Miss Sleaford was wont to lie late of a morning, and remonstrate drowsily, with the "voice of the sluggard, when roughly rousedifrom some foolish dream, in which she wore a ruby-velvet gown that wauldn t keep hooked, and was beloved by the duke who was al- ways mconsistently changing into the young man at the butter-shop. nvpnincr Iknhnl nnnrlnr-or` nnnn been nothing unkind in his manner of spenkingto her; indeed there had even beenaspecial kindness and tenderness in his. tones, a sorrowful gentleness, that went home to her heart. he thought_j._of her hushand s dead .a`nI 2. ;`'-` `-'..`1- ._`_'.l .-o_ - `Tobe continued. lvl IIVBI In .9_f Tent 1harTg'hY:1ua' rev-W ~ inf uyifln u On."-L At` ........ . un.vuulauJuI: ;_u uuulu \ Illlluuo " III!!! I for you, oldfgreenbacks !-this was the rejoicing shout of those who believed that there was no God but Mammon,and that paper was his prophet. Now, a l few are so poor as to do Mr. Chase rever- ence. The Post belands him; but of l the Post anon. Throughout the length and breadth of this land Mr. Chase and ` his greenhacks are daily and nightly cursed; everywhere, save in the State of California, whose citizens have always scornfully refused to consider greenback: as money` at all, and have only deigned to buy them at a discount, as we do Spanish. bonds or other waste paper. Even Shoddy, gorged as it is with paper inouey, begins to tremble and to enter. rain. the awful doubt, suppose they should` never be paid. The redemp- tion of these curious securities is, of course, a mattcrwith which the future can `only deal ; but Mr. Chase's nancial collapse may be due after all to other causes than the inordinate ination of the current: Indeed; I have heard many shrewd men of Vbuxsiness airm that he,..'pnr're_ncy `is not so, _v_e_ry` excessively ed""a'ter _nll_. _ Nt_'imerous - as the sands of ithegea, as the greehhacks ,rn__a`y -be,jthef'grenrt.lne};d! on the epublio tag "5?!3!.*! f9r.*,liI"nj9ll3 !!8.84.m13. ` ` thBttian_tls- are oscfr Tdestrtiyd` 9 my` wsI$l.1ry `u'tf-`riffs `~.=ii'rfe.1`eie,-n`, , 7 ' hi #0`! etdegm) ,m`utila ' _ n,- -*for_y; `: A dis.` u'6u;;ig'nsjs_`gi$w ' * ` !2' '`r2tf%`e!*: 3? ` t , _ : `g, ' "!.?:i ;l...~ V ' _f.. ` It is not, on the whole, at all impro- bable that we may this full invade the North, and on her soil dictate the terms of peace. At all events, it is worth try- ing. The North isjust about to become bankrupt in men and in means, and now is the time to push her to. the wall. A just retribution demands that we retaliate on her the crnelties she has iuicted on us. An opportunity of doing so may soon occur. GR!-IENBACKS AND CURRENCY 13 TH] UNITED STATES.

After the middle of September what ' force will _they have with `which to repel invasion! Their veterans term of ser- vice will havc expired, and they will have returned home. The hundred thousand hundred days men will also have returned home. A body, composed almost entirely of raw recruits, decient in numbers as well as discipline, will be all they have with whicli to repel inva- lend their homes as they do in the South, for Northern soldiers are common laborers, without houses or homes, and who live and support their families from their daily wages. A war ofinvasion of the North will suspend their wages; their daily ay as soldiers, in greenbacks, will amougt to nothing. No bonus is offered to them for `enlistment; no hopes of Southern plunder will any longer be held out to them, or, if held out will any longer delude and deceive them, th'e ex- pense of living will have uadru led and to enlist as soldiers will bg to starpve their families.

In like maner they keep Sher- man iu Georgia to keep Hood out of Tennessee and Kentucky. 'l`hey are faintly hammering away at Petershurg and Atlanta to save Cincinnati and Phila- delphia. They have been for some time busy withdrawing their troops from the trans-Mississippi,and from all along either shore of that river,also trom many points on the Atlantic coast, and concentrating them at positions uearer'to Washington.

Among the t signs of the times noneis more encour- aging than the altered and subdued tone of the Northern press and Northern politieians. We hear not a word now of crushing the rebellion in sixty or ninety y days,or even within the present year. Few, very few, politicians or editors are so impudent or so impertment as to hold out hopes of crushing it ont at all. They are in terrible dread of an invasion by us i of the North, and more busy in trying to devise ways and means to repel such ap- prehended invasion than in renewed at- tempts to subdue the So`uth. They have lost all hope that Grant will take Rich- mond, but are in`deadly fear that Early will capture Washington. They keep Grant s army, at this sickly season, in the most sickly hole in the South, merely prevent the innntinn of um . .....i . , There are many unmistakable signs and evidence: that the war is fast draw- ing.to a close; Not, however, that a formal peace is at band.
