What Will be done with Them.

We are hourly asked what will he done

TO- l80 were called for by the President
There are now over 40 600 who have ten.
derel their services--thirty thousand more
than can DO taken out Of the State under
the present call. There should be enough
troops kept in the State to protect it from
invasion, however little we may expect an
invasion to take place; but it will hardly
be claimed that standing army of 30 600
men is necessary to protect our borders.
1t is said that they should be kept under
arms and training. This would be good
thing; but will it pay? Were Ohio inva-
ded, which is, indeed, very improbable,
two hundred thousand men would be up
in arms in less than forty eight hours.
The expense Of keeping up standing
army would not be less than one dollar a
day per man; hence an army of 81, 0,OOO
men would cost the State $50, 900 pei
day; or nearly million Of dollars pen
month. This would create tax that tho
the people are lily able to pay.

The Blockade.

Cotemporaneous with the announcement ol
the fact that, soon after the Inauguration OF
President Lincoln, the Federal Government
made contract in England for large supply
of arms which have arrived at New York, we
find it also stated that the JEFF. Davis Govern
mcnt made similar contract in Prussia for
arms to bo forwarded for the use of the Sc
cessionsts. The latter may be prevented
from procuring arms and ammunition from the
Northern States, in any large quantities; but
it is clear that they will be able to obtain mu.
vigorous measures are at once adopted by the
Administration to cut them off from this re-
source.
This can only be done by u blockade of
Southern ports. Prcsidnt Lincoln has issued
proclamation declaring the ports in the Sc
ccded States in Il state of blockade. But Il
mere paper blockade will not be respected by
fore ign countries. 1t must be followed by
stationing an efficient force at each of the ports
with which trade and Intercourse are interdic =
ted. If the Admiustrat on designs to act
vigorously, it will certainly do this, and wi itli
as little delay as possible.
One OF the most elective ways ofconJuering
an enemy, and with the least boodshed, is to
cut of his supplies from foreign sources. The
principal forts in the seven Confederate States
are Savannah, Brunswick, Apalichicola, Pen

Never Undcrrate the strength of
Your Opponents.

No more fatal mistake is ever made in
war, than that of der-estimating the
strength Of the enemy or undertaking
his courage. This great error has lost
more battles than any other. Such tao
tics may do to stimulate the rank and file
but if practiced by the commanders, nine
times out of ten it leads to defeat, both in
politics and war.
We would therefore, hint to the Re-
publians who have the management of
affairs, and the papers in particular, to
rather urge full and adequate preparation
among ourselves, than keep up the cry
that others are weak and of easy conquest.
Too many valuable young men have gone
into the army to be sacrificed by false
calculations and the misapprehension of
leaders who plan campaigns. Refresh

100 men, mostly of that State; but in part
made up of kindred material; drifting
about the Capitol, were on guard Thurs
day night of last week, armed with rcvol

cd, not only at the employment of men
of that description and the quartering Of
them in the public room OF the Presidents

the want Of dignity and decency. But

DAYTON, Ohio, April II, 1861.

DAYTON, ONO, Apfll ~, 1901.
70 he Edti0r ofhe CmcinnDG hn9irer;
have word for the Republican press
and partizans of Cincinnati and other
places abroad, who now daily falsiiy and
misreprcseut me and matters which con
cern me here in Dayton.
My position in regard to this civil war
which the Lincoln Administration has
inaugnrated, WAS long since takcu, is we'll
known, and wW be odAercd to TO Tie end.
Let that be understood. have added
nothing to it, subtracted nothing from it,
said nothing about it publicly since the
war began. | know well that am right
and that in little while the sober sec
ond thought of the people will disSipate
the present sudden and heeting public
madness, and will demand to know why
thirty'millions of people are hutchering
each other in civil war, and will arrest it
speedily. But meantime should my own
State be invaded, or threatened with in
vaslon, as soon as il may be. then, as n
loyal native bonn son of Ohio, acknowl-
edglng my first allegiance to be to her, !
will aid in defending her to the last ex-
tremity, asking no questions. Whoever
shall refuse then, or hesitate, will be a
traitor and bastard. And this same
rule l apply as well to the people of Vir-
gnla, Kentucky or Missouri, as to any of
the free States, North or West.
AS to myself: no threats have been
made to me personality none within my
hearing; no violence offered; no NAB any
where; none will be- nobody afraid of any
and every statement or rumor in regard
to me circulated orally. or published in
the Republican press. is basely idle and
false. And now let me add, for the ben
hit OF the cowardly slsnderers of Cincin-
natl or el sewhere, who libel me dal y, that
if they have any business with me, | can
be found every day and at any time either
at home, on the north west corner of
First and Ludlow, or upon the streets Of
Dayton. c. l.. VALLANDIGHAM.
