Increase Of the Army.

Newspaper accounts from Richmond saw
that, the report Of the Secretary of War has
been sent into Congress for consideration in
secret Session. That the Report shows that
l9i Regiments and 80 Battalions have already
been received into the Confederate Service, be.
sides various detachmehts of Artillery and
Companies OF Cavalry; and recommends that
IN view OF the immense additions to the forces
oi the Lincoln Government, the Confederate
Congress now accept and call invo service three
hundred aud fifty additional Reg imen.s, or such
number as added to the force now in the

dred aud Hity thousand men.
Inc white population of the Confederate
States is about five and a half millions the
proposed army, Therefore, will be Just ten per

Under this basis Il will bc cas-, for every se,.

be required to furnish. South Carolina with a
white population Of about three hundred thou.

thousand men. She has perhaps half Of this
number now in the feld-about ten thousand
In Virginia aud Eve thousand at home. The
number of persons in the State capable ol
bearing arms has beer estimated at sixty thou.

Handouts for the So nth.

The Southern press (says the Richmond Di4,
pdtch) should keep before the people of the
South and OF the world the astounding and un,
paralleled fact that the army which invad cd
virginia brought with them THIRTY THOUSAND
HAsDcuprs, which were taken with the other
spols from the enemy This surpasses all that
we have ever heard OF Russian or Austrian dcs
potism. 1t is almost impossible to realize that,
in the United States, boasting itself Az the
ireest and the most civilized of all nations, the
most deliberate, inhumau aud atrocious plan
should have been formed to degrade aud en-.
slave free people Of which there is any record
in this or any other age. Who ever heard.
even in despotic Europe, of all invading army
travelling with thirty thousand handcuifs as
part ofits equipments?
