Volunteers for Uta n.

There are great numbers of volunteers In ali
parts of the country who desire to serve the gov
eminent in the Utah war. One of our contempora-
riss 10 of opinion that maBy sixty thou
sand could be raised to morrow If the government
wouid say the word The city of Brotherly Love-
the capital of the peaceful land of Penn, has a
thousand choice spirits who have already prefer
ed their services for the fray. We doubt not that
Virginia could contribute fair proportion to the
Holy War. The only question is whether the
government will give up its darling scheme of
employing only regulars, and consent to avail H.
self OF the services of the citizen sodsry tits
welded at present to the idea of a large standing
army, but the representatives OF the people are OF
different opinion. The experience of large stand
ing armies Ia the Old World is not calculated to
recommend such establishments to Republican
aud economical country.
It IL gratifying to perceive the eagerness with
which the militia OF the country embrace every
opportunity TO servo the nation in the tented
field. They do not make much Of display, II is
true, muster days, but they have the mettle
and the stamina for any amount OF hard fighting;
ali they need being military discipline. which
they can readily acquire under competent officers,

Mexican war. Our present regular army OF

policy OF the country against vast military estab-

Republic. Our main reliance must be q volunteer
force, Of which We eau raise q million, and these
gathered around the nucleus OF the regular army,
and Offered by graduates OF West Point and other
Military Academies, could bid defiance to world
in arms.
Evan if the government consents TO accept the
services OF volunteers, probably not onetenth Of
those who will offer will be needed for the srbtu
CATION Of Utah. The Mormons can only bring ten
Thousand men into the feld and these with no
opportunities Of attaining a formidable state of

themselves with pelting the crowd with oranges.
