MEN WANTED FOR THE REBEL ARMY.
That the rebel army is not overwhelmed
with recruits is clearly proved by the fol.
lowing extract from leading article in the
Charleston Mercury:
We protest against the suicidal system
which has been in operation in our War
Department OF rejecting all twelve months
volunteers. But, for this fatal policy our
army might now have been double, almost
quadruple its present number. The emer,

squeamish silence on the part of the people
and of the press. What generous and
almost unbounded confidence and support
could give, has been accorded freely to the
Executive and its various departments,
But, in the face of our present fearful odds.

at the North, and the fierce and ruthless in.
vasion promised US, it becomes necessary
for US to speak, and for the Executive and
Congress to act.
We want men-men and horses nothiDg
else. They are but to be called for to be
had. They are at hand, and ready. We
trust more extended policy to meet the
wants of the country will be at nnoo entered
upon. We trust IL is already inaugurated.
Let all twelve months volunteers be ac-
cepted without days delay and long be-

and driven headlong to the northernmost
borders of his sterile region.
Men are wanted-cavalry is wanted.
MOURNING IN CHARLESTON.
The obsequies of Bee, Barton and Johns
son were celebrated with great pomp in
Charleston, on the Goth of July. The Mer,
ewy says:
Yesterday was a day of mingled gloom
and stern pride. Mourning for the honored
dead occupied and stilled each heart. Our
whole people uprose with one instructive
feeling to lay the tribute of homer upon the
tombs of our dead heroes, stricken down in
the cause of their country-in defence OF
our homes-in the wild shock of battle-on
| the field of blood. Never since the inter-
ment of our venerable, great and immortal
statesman has so universal gush of sorrow
welled up from the heart of our people. All
business in the city was suspended the
stores, seemingly with pre- arrangement,
were all closed. Thousands upon thousands
with grave faces assembled-men and wo
men-on foot and in carriages; the windows
were blocked with female faces-all had
assembled at the shrine Of the dead.
"LET PHILADELPHIA PREPARE
So says the Charleston Mercury. Here is
the paragraph
1t is to be hoped that within very short
space of time the army of the Potomac will
be increased to an extent that will render
all efforts of the enemy futile beyond con-
tiDgency, and enable our skillful generals to
carry the war across the border. In this
latter point of view the obtainment of so
many fine wagons and horses is an exceed
ingly fortunate circumstance, saving much
time and great expenditure of money
When Washington falls, and Maryland is
redeemed, let Philadelphia prepare, for this
is game of two countries.
WORD FOR THE SIXTY NINTH REGIMENT OF
NEW YORK.
Ar ticle in the Memphis TENNESSEE
Arg sses thus:
No Southerner but feels that the Goth
maintained the old reputation of Irish valor
on the wrong side through misguidance
and not treachery to the old cause; and
not one of Us but feels that the day must
come when true understanding of the prin'
ciple at issue will range their fearless hearts
in line with their brethren of the South.
All honor to the Sixty ninth, even in its
