The com limn people nf tlie South begin now to comprehend that their iiileresii have never been consulted by tho leaders of the rebellion, and that their welfare will not he in any way Rromoted by Hi success. Many titties, 1 liuve card perrons of this ol t ay of the jtisurreo (ion, that it was "enginiiprcii" by the alave hnlders fnt ; their own -Wenentthaf It was "a rich nian' war hut a poor muti'i fight" that "Hie old government was good enough for thetn, and had never in any manner injured thetn." But these people are compelled to yield an un willing allegiance to the despotism which yet rules the South with eitretnest militnry rigor. The people of the Norlh often ppeuk of tho willing tacrilicea they are mulling lor the pres ervation of (lie life of the nation ; of I lie inval uable lives and the treasure which they con-' tribute ungrudgingly to that end. Hut Ihn people of the Sunt It have sacrificed fur mure in tlie mad attempt to destroy Ihe n itioti and to blot it out from the map of the world. Almost the entire properly of the South has been con sumed during this war. and Ihe destruction of life has been so grout as to he without a par allel. In a conversation with a Pntithcrn gentleman upon the causes ami consequences of the war, he remarked tlmt one nf the worst effects nf it to Ihe South would he. that all those n ho should survive it would return to th-'ir hmnes greatly demoralized by camp life, while great numbers nf tho best, among tliem. capable of setting good examples and exerting a good influent), hud lost their lires. Mis remark was. There are none left to set proper examples !" Since Ihe c iniueiicemeiit of Ihe war. the' North has been prosperous iu every branch of industry fh. an extent that has scarcely been equalled before in tho history of Ihe country. Our population, products and wealth havo steadily increased, notwithstanding the prodig ious drain upon them by the necessities nf the time. Everywhere, in city, town, villnge nnd hamlet throughout the North, arc to bo seen evitlences nf great prosperity. In the South, on the contrary, arc to he seen the plainest in dications of tho perfect prostration of every br.inch of industry, aud of ruin more or less complete. 1 have passed through the South in different directions, within the last three years, more than three thousand miles; have been in many nf its principal cities, and it great many of its minor towns and villages, and have seen much of its country life ; lint have not seen, nt any time or in any place, even a solitary workman engaged in constructing or repairing n build ing of any description except by tlio United States forces, fur army purposes. Hut I have seen many towns and villages ravaged, and deserted almost entirely hy llieir inhabitants, and vast regions of country la d waslo by ad vancing anil retreating armies, find permitted to run to waste fur want of laboring force all able bodied men, white and lilueli, having been compelled into the rebel service. In extensive- regions of coiinlrv, iu the most fertilo parts of tho South, I havo seen fences swept away not even a fragment remaining ; crops lett tinharvosletl ami trampled nud ground into the earth by myriad feet nf march ing hosts, and ponderous wheels of artillery, and trains nf great armies. I havo reen great plantation houses, having in and about them every sign of recent life, elegance and luxury, hut deserted by every occupant j the stripped aud bare apartments, the broken windows nnd doors, tho rtiiind gardens and grounds, testily ing. mutely lint elmiienlly; to the merciless wuste of wxr. I havu seen the slaves nf great estates left sole guardians nnd custodians uf vast crops, yet unhnrvested, who welcomed with boundless joy tlie men of "tie Norf," front whom their masleia lied, and, loading them selves with such plunder aa they could carry, would march away with our armies, abandon ing home aud friends iu the hopo of gaining liberty. Iu the suburbs of cities and towns occupied by our forces. I have seen innum erable houses, of almost every iuuli ty, razed or ruined, sometimes by rebel author ity, totuetiiiies liy lot ul, ns a means of defense, or to deprive Iho hostile forces of shelter. 'inched lit- cold, in a bivouac, rebel soldiers, as well ns loyal, demolish fences and out-houses and sometimes coinlortnlde resideiici s, tu feed the camp lires. without which our armies can mil sleep, inarch or fight. The needs of an army are confined hy uo law.except that of su perior force, and cannot lie. The soldiers must bo fed, and must be sheltered or wanned, and these necessities am restrained in tljeir supply by no consideration, except that uf the impossible. I'arlica of rebel guerrillas traverse the Southern country, and destroy everything in the neighborhood of our armies. Hut they cuu uot carry nway, that may he useful to our forces. Vast amounts of cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, nud other forage hnvu been thus given to the flames by Ihe rebels, while they seize and carry a'wny, for army purposes, all the horses nnd mules they can find, thus leaving the agriculturist with no means of pro ducing any crop, even for the most limited domestic supply. These gueriillus. nt the same time, scire, without warning and without war rant, except that of force, every iiniu and liny whom they think old enough and not loo old for any army work. I have seen in the rebel service hoys of twelve years, and men uf sixty five and seventy, thus almost literally, in the words of Geo. Grant, "robbing the cradle and the grave'1 fur the purpose uf filling their ranks. The devastation aud ruin nf which I speak, as seen everywhere in the South, aud wronght hy both the rebel and loyal armies, is the or dinary and iicoeeaary work of war. A rebel forces retires before tlie advance of a body of our troops, aud destroys in its rapid retreat all bridges, aud stores nf hay, grain, strnw, provi sions of every kind for man or henst, that can not he carried away aud drives lieforo it nil the cattle that can be collected, that their pur suers inny not Dud food or forage. To the ut most nf their power, they leave behind thetn a country utterly desolated. The rebels being strongly re-itilorced. turn upon their pursuers, who are compelled to retreat, choosing fur this purpose a linu leading through a fresh country, if this bo possible. Our force, now retire rap idly, on as ninny parallel roads as mar he con venient, destroying as they go, ns tile rebels did on another route, every bridge aud supplies of every sort that may be useful to the pursu ing enemy, and driving off nil horses, muh s, and cattle that can he found. Thus, between both armies, the entire country is impoverished and laid waste, and the women, children and old men are thus exposed to extreme suffering. OI alile hod led men, there are none all being forced away in the rebel service, or lying out in the forests to avoid const riplion. In a considerable Southern city, I saw the reins of an extensive conflagiatiou more than half the place was destroyed. Aud tl was in this a tse : Alter a sharp battle. Ihe Union forces enter ed Ihe city, the rebel forces running nway. Some of our officers stent to a line looking ho tel and askeil for dinner, for a Inch they would pay. The landlord insvletilly refused lo serve OREGON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27. 18fii5. "any d d Yankee !" The ollicors went qui etly to another hotel, and had dinner at the oominnn table. They wero charged four dol lars each, hut, on producing greenbacks with which to pay, the landlord said, "One dollar in that money." A Southerner, standing by, swnre bitterly at the landlord for depredating Confederate currency, but the officers checked tho How of his eloquence very suddenly. Al ter the Union forces retired, this hotel was fired by the rebels and destroyed for this conduct of the landlord. A Union army passed through the place two months afterward. niter a severe battle of three days, anil some of Ihe soldiers, learning Un title of the friendly lintel, destroyed the oilier. In both uf these conllagriuions a great many buildings were consumed. It sometimes oc curs that Union men of the Soutlt disuover their sentiment on the) advent of n Union army and Welcome our forces warmly. It not tttifre quently happens that the loyal force finds it neoefsary or expedient to retire, when tho reh els take possession nnoo more of the place.und visit the Union men vrh- eevrerest vengeanoe, often destroying all their property that cannot he carried away. When a loyal nrmv appears retaliation is sometimes etiforoed against open nnd well known rebels and their properly. During all this tcrrildo conflict tlie South' has been tho theater of the war, and all history shows that every country so situated is wasted, desolated, destroyed. The Southern leaders were mad to rush into rebellion, knowing, as they must have known, Hint the contest, would he fought out upon their territory, and not upon ours that their cities and towns, and not ours, would he filled with terror hy I lie approach ol hostile forces, and ami destroyed by contending armies. History contains no example so striking nf the truth as the adage, "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." Iu tho iiisitue attempt nf Southern slave holders to destroy our nation, that they- might he able lo perpetuate slavery and extend it In definitely, they have brought ruin down upon their heads, have subverted tho institution which they cherished and loved more than home and beaveu, and have caused their coun try to he wusted. desolated and iu many places almost depopulated.

Of the diminished vote nu Hie ralilicatioti of tlie new Constitution, ho says there was tin material op position to it, ptihlio or private, nud some failed to participate from apprehension that Congress would not. ratify the form of government.

Of 40,000 men enlisted in Ihe rebel army, it is reckoned that not more than l.flOO mo now living, probably three lourths uf Ihe population uf 1,0 State are in tho lilies nf our nriuy.
