FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 7.”
SPECULATIONS —Since the failure of the,
Red River expedition under Gea. Banks, .
and the repulse of the last invasion of Misqouri, the. rebéls in the South-West have
been rather severely let alone, and Kirby
Smith with his troops, reported at 50,000
quen, have enjoyed'a season of comparitive
. And not he and his immediate army but the various rebel garrisons scattered through Texas, have had a long term of
inaction. sen
There may be a reason outside of the
_ grand concentration of the national forces
for the subjugation of the Atlantic half of
the Confederacy, for the let-alone polity
towards Texas. Itis possible there is a
double object in view in leaving the SouthWeet till the last to feel the stroke of Federal power. And really we do not doubt
that there is design in it. By leaving Texas untouched it furnishes an asylum for the
-defeated_rebels, and those who seek safer
rotredts than they lave lately enjoyed in
the regions rendered hot by the presence of
* ‘The wore rebels that find their way to the
South-West the better, perhaps, because a
reason is furnished for. the concentration of
a large army there to compel them to obedience for the American government.—
When that little job is done, which will be
done speedily, what then? Our troops will
"be just in the spot. we want them for the
next business in the national programme,
and if the flying and defeated chivalry shall
eross the Rio Grande, as they will choose
to do, the change from whipping rebels on
our own soil to to that of pursuing them to
Mexico and whippibg them there, besides
enforcing the Monroe Doctrine as an additional chore, will, be so light that we may as
well, for the sake of simplification, eall it
_no variety at all. In fact, the presence of
Maximilian in Mexico and the objects of the
Southern Confederacy, are but parts of the
game acheme—the overthrow of the Ameriean Republic. The War Power at Washington, though saying little, probably looks
upon the matter in this light, and when the
necessity arrives to march a strong force to
Texas to give the finishing blow to rebellion,
it will be very convenient to settle up that
other affair with dispatch. NE
. ‘Phese ure but speculations, of coursé, but
ge should not be astonished if Grant should,
io six months, fix his headquarters some‘where on the borders of Mexico, and Sherjuan be cutting, like that-through Georgia,
Gouth and North Carolina, from Vera Cruz
te the Halls of the Montezumas.
AvreR StTRatTron Acatn.—It appears
that Governor Low is loth to give up the
Stratton war. Having been foiled in his
attempt to reorganize the Board of Trustwos of the State Library for the purpose of
owsting Stratton, by a decree of the Supreme
Court, he now changes tactics and returns
to the fight with a pertinacity worthy of «
better‘catise, He endeavors to force Strat. tonto resign by withholding his salary. It
Will be remembered that Stratton’s term of
office expired on the 16th of March. The
Board of Trustees met for the purpose of
esting & suceessor and the Chief Justice
having been declared ineligible by the Supreme Court, the vote stood twe for Perkina and two for Stratton—Low and Redding voting for the former. Stratton is en"
fitled to hold until his successor is appoint>
~ ed by the law. When the time arrived for
the payment of Stratton the Governor noti-:
ant,” whereupon Stratton applies to!
compel Oulton to issue a warrant in bis favor. If Governor Low can succeed in keeping Stratton out of his pay he may be able
‘to compel him to resign. But we have no
doubt that in this he will fail as be has-heretofore, failed ip his unjust war updén the
“State Librarian. » If Governor Low would

i A grand demonstration in honor of the
capture of Richmond will be had in North’
San Juan on Saturday evening next, weather permitting. At a-mecting of the Soldiers
Aid Society, after an eloquent address by
Rev. Mr. Haynes, in behalf of the sacred
cause, a Committee was appointed to make .
the necessary arrangements for the demonstration. Se ee
‘Hon. David Belden and Rev. Mr. Hayneshave been invited to address the people.—‘
The military have responded favorably to
the invitation to participate, and everything
indicates that this opportunijy to testify our
joy over “Babylon’s” fall, and with it the
mighty effort'to destory the government of.
our tathers, will not pass unimproved by: the
people of the Ridge.

EASTERN NeEws.—Sheridan, according to
a dispatch dated the Ist, had marched clear
around the rebel army and was near BurkesOn the 2nd, Generals Wright, Parke
and Ord's lines extended-from the Appommattox to Hatcher’s Run. On the morning
of the 3d Richmond was oceupied by our
troops; they werereceived by the people with
enthusiasm. On the morning of the sanie
day Grant started for the Danville road for
the purpose of cutting off Lee’s retreat.—
From the 26th up to the 3d the fighting was
of the most desperate character.. The
Herald’s correspondeut estimates the loss in
front of the Ninth Corps alone, at 5,000 on
Saturday Jast.
The operations of Sunday, bofore Petersburg, resulted in the capture of 12,000 prisoners and 50 pieces of artiHery. It is thought
that the enemy, in their haste, must have
abandoned 500 siege guns at Richmond and
Petersburg. Lee will probably be met in
his retreat by Sheridan, Stoneman; and Kilpatrick’s cavalry. Hancock probably holds‘
Weldon, from which point he could easily
intercept Lee before he crosses the Virginia
line. Grant seems to have provided for
every contingency, and it now seems utterly impossible for either Lee or Johnsen to
escape with an organized army. —_°
Canby and Benton are engaged in a campaign against Mobile. Beauregard is in
command ofthe rebels. The city cannot be.
held much longer,
Rovcn TESTIMONY.—The developments
of the O'Byrne investigation, says the Bee,
are not of a character to please the Quartermaster or these who have rushed to his defense and claimed that he is a very proper
man and the victim of persecution. © Yesterday Bishop Demers, of Victoria, testified
that while in that place O'Byrne went to
him and. represented that money was on the

Bishop to his security for
