The President, in hit minimi messnge, mtiile a by no menus boastful allusiun lu the progress of our arms during Iho current year. Hut when the document reached Kicliiuond, thn nrucles of secession denied the correotness nf his statements. The campaign was then far from being nt end, and in truth it wns difficult to film up Iho result nf tho year's labor, Tho President only claimed that progress had been made, and Ihnt the Union armies were rela tively stronger nt the ditto of the message ami the rebel armies wenkcr, lhail they were pre viously. Allusion was also made to the grand expedition nf General Sherman, as alturdinj; evidenoeoflhisstulenf things ; butnnonofident prediction w as inndu at tu tho success of tho venture. Tho campaign was then in progress, and it is not yet ended'; but its gloriuut tesiills nre nu long r duuhlful. When the messnge) reached Europe, we duuht not that the London Times, uul other newspapers in. sympathy with thu rebellion, made disparaging contrasts between the results uf Ihe political and military campaigns; nud Ihe very summing up uf the hater by tho President, in his fourth nminnl coiiiniiiuiculinii to Congress, was pointed to us another nmi oonclusive proof that the rebellion cnnld never be subdued. ti , . At the dalelif tho" m'essiige Ilotid menaced Nashville with immediate recapture, Tho Union forces under Thomas hud fallen back before thu rebels' nilvuncing columns. The expedition of Sherman wns in progress, nnd al though ull loytil mey had high hopes of its suo cess, nn man could feel sine of it. Such wns the siluatiun when Ihe President was culled, upon, by the respnnsihililies uf his ufliue, in in form Cuiigren of Iho slnlu of his cminlry. Such was the sum nf very moderate suej:eses, ncnording to tho President's own nulhurity, which went out to Europe less than three weeks ago. How changer tho slulo of things in one short nmon !

All this rich fruit uf tho year's hilmr has ripened and fallen into our hands within a fortnight: and lieu the knowledge ot these great successes renchos Europe, it cannot Tail to impress tho minds uf friends nud fees tu the rebellion that the last hope of "Confedernto Independence" has lied. Humors uf recognilion and Interven tion will die uw.iy ; Cunfederatu stocks will full ; and Confederates, official and noii-uflieial will receive Ibe cold shoulder from sympathiz ing friends, Contrasting thu present condition of the Con federiito cause with that which it occupied threii years ngn, will eiinblo every render to estimuto for himself the prngrers which tho government has made in suppressing the re bullion. In December, ISIil. it will bo reincm beied, the rebels besieged Washington. They he!d nil of Tennessee to the Kentucky line. They held the Mississippi from the month of the Ohio to the Gulf, Willi the Stutei bordering upiin that river. They held Norlolk. and tho North and Somh Carolina coasts, and nearly nil parts nf East Virginia. Tho government win everywhere held at buy by the rebellious hosts whose confidence' was high, nnd their ru sources of men nud means' live-fold what they are In day. , If we recur to the condition of the Union forces nt that period, wo find them certainly no grenter ig men nnd resources than they nro at present; while in the skill mid experience of ollicers. nud in the discipline of the rank and . file, the armies uf ihe first year uf the war bear no comparison wifli thoso iif the fourth. lu view of these indlspntahlu facts, tho least sanguine friend uf the Union can no lunger lei'l n rational doubt of thu speedy rcslnrulmn uf thu t ntiuual nuthurity over ever foot of its lerrilury; while Iho most hopeful rebel will bo plunged iulu despair.

And if tnoh ii the case, it it surely a very ttrong proof lhat tne war is not iieing wngou with meracnery ana worthless lives. I tco Iho tamo care for the dead as for the living. Tho graves in the line nre decent ; mul many bodies, even of private soldiers, are embalmed and lent home to their -friends.

Tho forlifioutioiis and tho hulling might teem to indicate the campaign was at un end. Bat the chesB-hoard is now .very contracted, and the remaining move short, liichmnud it vis ible from a signal station in thn linos. Of course, 1 cannot pretend tn speak nf tha military qualities of tho armv. It must suffer frmn Hie continual rotirementuf veterans whose term hits expired, nnd Iheir replacement by raw levies, who aro umvuely formed Into regi- ntsi iustend uf being incorporated with tne old. The uligiiruhs of the Confederacy, as vim know, keep their veterans in tho field by a very simple expedient. Having induced men to enlist fur a yenr. they voted thcro in for three, und then till the end of the wnr a vjo- latum of public faith lo which it would he diffi cult to find n parallel.

Hut iu truth Iho country, to far as 1 saw in two days ride, ur from tho top of a signal station commanding a wide view, bids itcfianco to tha ruviiger. Though cloro to the capital of Vir ginia, it is, with tho exception of a parish hero and these, a wilderness. Part of it is a re lapsed wilderness, for 1 taw the traces of form er cultivation covered by trees of nbout twenty years' growth. Tho soil is evidently good and Ihe laud will he fruitful when it is tilled by free hands and npeneil to- emigration. Perhaps these armies may be conquering fiom slavery a linuic for the surplus papulation of England. Tho foot lhat tho scene ul this war is a vast and nhnnst pathless forest (tho good roads nbout the lines being tho work of the armies), evidently mukes ordinary military criticisms in--nppliunplo. It is difficult to imagine bow a lino of battle oan advance, bow it can 'bo formed, or how artillery can bo brought to bear iu a battle. A charge uf cavalry it out or the question ; and this makes the cavalry Ineffect ive, and the battle indecisive. Keoounoilcrinj must also be extremely difficult. Tho two lines of pickets wore lying date to each olher in front of tliek respeolivu jntrenoh nieiits, without auy wanton firing. Men who thus observe, Ihe courtesies and humanities of wnr may surely, when the war is nver, lire in good fellowship with each other. There seem ed to be iu this republican army all due milita ry subordination and enongh of etiquette. At tho sumo l i mo there it a ourttiiu republican equably uf furo. The abodo of General Grant at City Point is a hut of one loom, containing a camp bed, a chest marked with tho initials of tlie uwner, a table and two or three chain. All Americans aro hospitable In strangers, and the officers uf thu Army uf the James were most hospitable to nio. Perhaps their hospitality prejudiced mo in their favor ; but thoy appear ed to me. in manners and cultivation, the equals, at least, nf any soldiers whom I hare ever seen. 1 rode for son'o hours in company w it h olio uf lliem who had entered the army at a private, and I think I never met a more per fect gentleman in my life.
