THE TWO FA1RIor ARMIES.

in war for the protection Of their liberties,
ard they ste divided into two armies; one,
consisting Of the army and navy proper,
numbering about 25o, 900, which may be
called ths executive army and the other,
which, mky be called the supply army,
consistingof nll Of the rest OF the populs:

out the support; Of the second any mora
than I steam engine can operate without
fuel; and the second can produce no direct
effect upon the enemJIe1ceps through the

nercenarioa Or eonscripts; but patrists;
and all are animated with the sans lofty
purposea. The affects, duties, priyettons
and methods Of the first army are well un-
deretood, and hsve bean systematized by
the sciencs Of tho world for Centuries: It
is completely organized, and othcered and
sub-ofHcezed down to squads sf eight men.

Such Is not the case with thelarge army.
It has no organization exclusively for war
purposes. It has the National and State
Governments, and those Of counties, cities
and towns, but these depend entirely upon
