Federal Military FeebIeness.

For five months the whole North has rung with
military preparation. The press has exerted all its
vast Influence In exciting the community to military
ardOr As the result of such unparalleled efforts it
was bosstfully announced three months ago that in
the Northern States two hundred and fifty thousand
men had volunteered, in the service of the Govern
ment, and were ready to take the field. We see nj
reason 10 question the accuracy of this statement
The number was aggregated from the corps of th
various States, carefully arranged in tabular form
That the number is not over-estimated is manifest
from the statement of CAMERON, the Secretary Of
Var, quoted by BLAIR in a publication in a st
Louis paper, that of 600 900 volunteers who had
offered, 100000 had been received into service
BLAIR blames the Department for not having re
ceiyed more Indeed, it has been subject Of com
plant, with the correspondents of the Northern
press that, to induce the LINCOLN Government to
receive regiment into service, required the great
est effort, of diplomacy.
From all this it is evident that many more men
have volunteered than have been mustered into the
n orthern army Certainly not less than three hun
dred thousand men have offered their services TO
the Cover Imsnt We have the data from publica-
tons of the Northern press, from which an approx
mate estimate may be made of the greatest mum
Der that have at any time been actually in arms
Asd from the highest estimate, it will be appaIe emit
that the greatest number of troops the North has
st any time had in the field falls very far short OF
the nun bers admitted to have been offered to the
Government The force was at its maximum
strength sbOu- the middle Of July, EST before the
battle Of Manassas Plains, many of the volunteers
having since returned home at the expiration #
their terms Of service.
