The JED. Davis rebellion wars on principles

MILITARY RESOURCES OF TEE
GOETIy.

The absurdly exaggerated notions which pre-.
vail at the North as we'll as in the South about
the military resources Of the Slave States can be
efectually dispelcd by little precise attention
to the statistics OF that section. Let us look at
tho figures.
Toe number of men that State can bring
into the field. and keep them, depends upon its
population and its resources in money ard mate
rials of war. We hear and see every day loose
assertions that this or that State can raise 5OOOo
or IOO 600 soldiers, and that this section or that
section can equip 100000, or 100000 sol
diers. The Charleston Courier not long since
stated that South Carolina had 10000 men IN
arms at Charleston, 1900 in other parts OF the
State, and had beside $1,000 enrolled and orga-
pzed-in all $4,000 who were effective for SER
vice. Again let us look at the figures.
The following table EXHIBITS the population Of
tie principal countries OF Europe, with the
amount of their armies in time Of war, and the
proportion of these armies to the population, the

No doubt the Government at Washington
ia as well aware as we are that the unstned

what has been offered yet is but as the iltst drops

that they were ready to lead the people who
were eager to be led against the Rebels. The
Government will find the North ready to sustain
it with men aud with money and with votes Of
indemnity, if it be necessary to cut the Red-tope
of routine with the edge of the sword. They
only ask that no time be lost in waiting when they
are ready to move. The Chivalry are never eager
to fight on equal terms. They would not attack
Sumter until they had huldred men and ten
cannons to Major Auderson's one. Even the old
fashioned duel, with it, accuracy Of alr-play, has
given way to the street-iight, where one may
shoot his adversary in the back if nc can get
chance. If the Rebels be not able to outnupber
the force at Washington, and that largely, there
will be no attack on the city. Failing OF that,
and of the capture Of Fortress Monroe, the great
object of their desire, their next move Will

average rather high, that as Prussia brings int
the field one in AZ, and Austria one in SIS Of her
population, South Carolina can raise, equip, and
maintain one in so. Now, az her whole p"pula-
ton, by tie census Of 1860, including 4O7 900

rate that South Carolina can be expected to raise
for military service just H,30O. In making this
calculation, however, We suppose her wealth and
credit to be prcportionaly equal to those Of Aus
tria and Prussia, or rather, we should say,
greater in proportion to tue greater expensive
ness of military undertakings in this country.

Our advces from Washington assure us tnat

has long been strongly in favor Of this policy,
and so have Messrs. Blair, Chase, and Cameron
Messrs. Seward and Wees at first dssented,
but have at length yielded to the general voice
of the people. In allusion to the recent attacks
in the newspapers upon the Administration, Mr..
Lincoln said Yesterday: We can afford to pass

1t is reported that Mr. John Minor Bolts has
written public letter urging that hostillties
should be suspended in order that a NatioL al
Convention may be called to consider the condi-
ton Of the country. We do not believe this re-
port The John Minor Bolts whom We have had
the honor Of knowing, is both brave man and
d sensible man, and could never have written a
cOwardly and foolish letter. He understands per.
fecty, for he has repeatedly expressed it in terms
Of igorous eloquence, that the Nation cannot be
destroyed by tue COnsprators Of South Carolina
and the Regulators of Mississippi. lie knows
that the people Of the loyal States Will never allow
the Mexican system Of rebellion after lost cleo
tions to be established in American politics. He
knows that they will rise in one overwhelming
mass to defend the Constitution, maintain the
Union, and enforce the laws; and that they will
spend their last dollar and shed their last drop Of
blood soouer than see the Republic divided. Know
ing, and understanding all this, it is impossible
that Mr. Bolts should have put forth the propO-
stiOn attributed TO him. On the contrary, we
are confident that when he addresses the public,
il will be TO declare that there is no alternative
except to crush treason and preserve the Govern.
ment; and that if tho seeding States wish to
avoid forcbe reduction TO order and obedience,
they must hasten tO abandon their reasonable
conspiracy aud return to their duty and TO peace.

could be obtained in New-York. 1t takes care
