2;', There are soaie rumors here ot suffi.:icot in
terest lor a comuiuuitiation. One coming through
tho linci st)mehow, from the Norih, i.-i, that the
South had been reooguizcd by France and Kag
land. 1 think it had originated from httters
which have been iieisundcrstood, but which were
certainly recoived frotn Washiijg.ua. v.ne at

from’ that District, and the other at Dre*len,

sayinc th;K h-ijiuiti s would coa.se next month,
or at all ev^^^nl ■ ^a-hat an armistice would be pro
posed, and begg-ng their respective Iriend*. to use
their utmost endeavors to have those States to go
with the North. I had this iaforraation two
days fiiro but would not write it for publication
for lear the gentleman who 1 rought it. a very
tr-athful Irirnd ot mine just down from Jaokson,

is ccruinly important enough, or publication, for
surely a Congrcs.-^man or even an ex-mcmber,
writing from WasLiag‘oa, ought to speak by the
card.
Let me warn your readers, however, le.-.l uiiduu
imporuncc be attached to the rumor, that .Vuder-
800 and Ktheridgo may be writing merely hypo-
thcticftUy, knowing perhaps that Grant has been
allowed till the 4th of July to take Richmond,
but being satisfied that he will inevitably fiil. I
think wc should feel pretty san^ino ourselvM on
such a hypothesis. The question arises, if Eng
land and Frince have interposed, is it among
their propositions to have the bcyder Stales de
cide for themselves, as implied by tho action of
these ]>romin''nt chiracteri*?
Ktheridgo says “wc arc whipped,” and Ander
son that ‘ the present Congress will recognize the
Confederacy.” This is positive.

Th^. Crisis of the Campulijn.—Gsn. (irant, in
fifty days of almost continuous battle, in a cam-
patgn mark’d by more subli-ue tenacity of pur-
pjse than was ever before seen, haa brought the
rebellion to a great turning poin' in its carccr.
He has finally compelled the •tlcbel leaders to ad
mit that their oniy chance f»r safety lies in ihe
abandonment of tho whole of tho Confederacy for
Virginia, and he has brought thoiu to the distibet
acknowledgment that they can no longer ' hope
to rcBist him in Virginia, without tho presence,
in that State, of every man that the Confederacy
can muster. It is a great deal to have done that,
but it is not enough; lor the rebels acting on the
necessity made so plaiu by G Bunt’s cpcratious,
are engaged in the re-orgaaization of their powers
of resistance; and while they admit that they must
have more men in Virginia, it is possible that,
with more men, they will be ab'e to re*ist and
hold out a great while longer. W'ith a large ac
cession ol force to Lee’s army, and no correspon
ding addition to ours, it is possible that they
will he able to resist so long that tho su.'mnier
will pass away, and lliehmond still be beyond
our grasp. Aod they are making such addi ion
to Lee’s army. The corps or division, lately under
Polk, is in Virginia, and appearanees irtfltnofn

appearances indicate
that more men from the Southwest are being
aent forward, and t^at the halt Gen. Grant hat
been brought to at Petersburg is likely to con
tinue for days and may be months. Stanton
will keep for a while, with his bulletiQ«, the
silence he has kept for some time past, and it is
uot likely that even the visit of the President to
th > army will be fruitful iu foreing a further ad
vance. Wc do not believe Grant will fail. We
not believe that cur hope for the fall of Rich
mond must be relinquished; but apparently it
must he again deferred', and hope so many times
deferred may sicken the heart of a nation as bit
terly as it will the heart of any person in it.

The Yankee Conscription.—The passage of the
200,000 couscription law, without the exemption
clause, alluded to in another portion of this day’s
i-'feue, produces neither surprise nor alarm. It
confirips the terrible loss«2d ot Grant and Sher
man, and was, indeed, passed in view ot the lat
ter So at leasu says the New York Herald.
Grat;t aud Shermau have lost, within the last t^’o
u:onth6, nearly men enough to balance the whole
nu'uber raised by thia law. Put them in their
bands, and they will get them killed off in a very
t«hurt time. In the meantime the conscription

Grant’s caaips are pitched oa the most un

of what is called sora marsh, covered every day

Wilson’s Yankee Raiders.—Yankee papers of
