CONSUMPTION AT THE SOUTH
The Richmond E1Gminer OF Nov. - contains
an elaborate leading article, evidently paving
the way FOR general conScription. 1t begins
/ by saying:
"Tbe campaign Of 1861 may he considered as
over. Ia fortnight the enemy can do nothing
more. The early danger Of the South that II would
be overwhelmed before il could organize and pre- pare
for defense by superior numbers and transportation
ia ut an end. We have go much advantage. But in
the struggle an unexpected feature has developed
itself In the temper Of the United States. Before the
war began al zane men believed they would COM
promise the political quarrel with the South, and
had the North offered the South tbe poorest terms
corrupt was public sentiment in Virginia, at least
that those terms would have been accepted.
! When the war begun but q few thought would
last six months. The six months have gone. The
United States have endured defeat after deieat made
sacrifice after sacrifice and have closed an unsuccess
full campaign without the slightest signs Of an
approach 10 reason. he Peace party OF the North,
like the mon party of the South, has entirely dis
appeared. The whole people are completely under
the hand of the government ard all togeti er people
and Government bent on the prosecution Of tins
war even il the consequence be collision with
England and national bankruptcy. Under this inl-
pulse they have steadily increased, and are stiil
increasing then vast regular force. Not less than
500 900 men are enlisted for indefinite period and
equivalent in all its parts 10 regular army"
After enlargiBg upon the faults Of all militia
and volunteer systems, 10 which alone the South
has hitherto Iesorted The EzOminT says that
{" the only way to meet the North with any
prospect of success is 10 raise regular army
by some meaIs resembling the conscripti0ns Of
all other nations in the world except England
and America" claiming that by this means
" 500, 600 men could be put into the field"
