Tha State Of Virginia bring iuo the field al least hund

fon their infancy of and ready and Wiling TO
- lRiohInond Dispatch.
There is no doubt the State OF Virginia can
bring into the field" in q certain sense, 100 900
men foe tho adult whites of her population are
nearly 200, 900 in number. But the question is.
can she arm, clothe, feed and pay them
There's the rub. To arm, equip clothe and
supply with munit ons of war 100, 900 men will
cost at the moderate rate of 500 per man.
$40 900, 600. Their pay at tho rate OF Sl2 per
month Tor privates, and the usual pay for off,
Ger. will be $l5. 100000 year. Their sub.is-
enc,, at the usual allowance of 30 cents day
for raticns viii cost gil 200, 900 year. Here
IL q total of $50, OOC, COO without reckoning the
cosg OF artillery Of horses, the keep Of horses,
of transportation, and of the numerous coDtin-
service.
Now, bearing in mind that, by withdrawing
halt her adult whites from peaceful occupations,
the productive capacity of the State is greatly
dlminshed that by tho blockade of her ports her
commerce. will DO destroyed 40 that no revenue
can be- raised except by direct taxation; and that
she has no credit and cannot borrow a dollar
out of her own limits, what prospect has Virginia
OF raising $36, 900, 900 year for purposes Of
war, beside enough to meet the Ordinary ex-
penses OF Government Her total receipts from
all manner of funds and taxes for the year end.
ing Sept. 30, 1859 we're $4,326,5'9 81. Her
expe iditures for the same period were
81, 222, $50 81, and her public debt was
$40, 1856 $50 As Ii is on resources such as these
that the shareholders OF Virginia have plunged
into war with tho United States, and it is on
such n basis that they calculate upon keeping in
tho field an army Of 100000 men!
1t may further assist these gentlemen VINO
pirate so gbly about force OF loo'ooo men
TO understand What they are talking about, Ii
xo suggest to them that the appropriations for
the Army of the United States for the year end
ing June 80, 1861, were 1906 37 66, or
trlae less than 5000, 900. The year before,
thu appropriation. were $l5,279,S45 rs. Now.
by the official returns. it appears that the woe'e
number Of officers aud men in the United States
Army was only 1881, for, though the sumoer
authorized by Law was about lo.oO0. only Two
thirds Of that number were actually enlisted. II,
therefore. IN army of $4,000 mon. not engaged

LET THE GOVERNMENT UNDER
STAND AND TRUST TEE COUNTRY.

Every day brings US new lecture from
Washington on the duty OF trusting the Govern
mcnt at this crss--Of putting faith 10 its capa-
city, its energy, aud its patriotism. This is oil
very right, and we receive thcse lectures with
eminent meekncss and docllity. We beg those
who speak for the Government to understand
that We DO Lot expect great rebellion, which
has been thirty years ripening, to be crushed
out Ia thirty days. We are not quite 80 green

munitions. We know that il must have an i'm
ineuso equipage, with COUNTLESS horses and
wagons, and that the providing OF these
costs not only money. but time. We
know that jobbers and REGULATORS will
hang about its commis'arias like crows about

consider itSelf lucky II for every TWO dollars nom
