The Now Regulation

The telegraph has story that the President has
called for about eighty thousand more men-Part
CT them 10 be enlisted for five, and others for three
years-and alsO for some twenty-five thousand men
for the Naval service. This is the sheerest non
sense, and IS only intended 70 Keep up the excite
ment among the Northerners, who, having no other
alternative than to starve for want Of employment
are ready 10 go into the service of the United States
on any terms. There Is no law to authorize the
enlistment of any such number Of Iaen into the
army for any such length Of time Mr. Lincoln
went to the end of his tether when he recognized
the provision which restricts his employment of
volunteers to thirty days after the meeting of Con-
gress, which will expire the 9Th of August next
Then ali the volunteers who have enrolled them
selves from the different States will be disbanded
and they will be sent home, unless Congress should
after its meeting tie 9TH of July, provide for a
re7eRstment By that time the novelty of the
thing viii have worn off, and the respectable por-
ton of them-tkose who have wives and children
starving at home-Will be ready to take their leave
of Mr. LncGlns army.-&. {6lliS Republican
