see, the Almighty Dollar Is the pow
er more potent than armies. That will
settle the hash; and the sooner we put
these bcasting Bobadils in position where
it can be brought to bear on them with all
the force it is capable Of exerting, the
sooner will this wicked rebellion come to
an end. -Four expeditions are needed for
October. In November, the shipment Of
cotton must begin.
STRENGTH OF THE L0YALrsTs
AND REBELS.
The numerical strength Of the 1oyalists
and rebels may be thus stated:
Fer TIKI UNION.
Popu:atiou Of Free States IL. 600 1fo
Lcyaliste in Border Slave States. Loo, 600
Total Union strength. e, ,0oo, 900
Rebels N Slave States 500 900
Total Rebel strength. III, ,5oo, 600
This states the respective belligerent
forces in round numbers; but there are
scme notifications that ought to be taken
into account. OF the nineteen millions of
whites in the Free States, there are from
one to two millions Of rebel sympathizers,
who give the enemy all the aid and COM
fort they dare. Their treason crops
out in peace-meetings, and white flag dis
plays. They have much to. say about
" abolitionism," and insist On using the
name and machinery Of the late Democrat
ic party for purposes Of opposition to the
Government They are very active in
dissuading men from volunteering to fight
for the Union.
On the other hand, there are many
Cnicn men in seeded States, who give
but reluctant support to secession. They
are mainly in Tennessee, North Carolina,
and Texas. It would be safe to estimate
them at one million Of people. We think
the Unionists in the seeded States, may
be reckoned as az Offset against the tories
in the loyal States, though they are not
permitted to express their sentiments one
tenth as boldly for the Union as the white
feather gentry in the North do again st it.
The slaves We put down as all on the
side Of the rebellion. There are few
loyal shareholders, but the number Is SO
small that it is scarcely worth computing.
The free colored inhabitants in the seeded
States, are ali forced to render assistance to
the rebels They will fully counterbalance
the slaves Of loyal masters in the Border
States.
The mest liberal estimate Of the num-
ber Of people who may be classified as
friends Of the Union, is twenty millions !;
and the number who are trying to destroy
it, eleven and half millions. This Is a
formidable host ef enemies; but more than
cnethird Of them are unwilling enemies.
They are obliged to take sides against the
| Union by Northern connivance and CON
sent. The masters have forced them all
into the rebel service, and are making
them supply the rebel armies with rations
and other indispensable military necessities
By the uses to which the slaves are put, the
whole as1e-bodied adult male population o.
the seeded States can bear arms and art
taking the field against the Union forces
The rebel soldiers are not only main
tanned by the slaves, but their families ar
fed and clad also. The labor of the slave
man and lis wife and children keeps hi
master in the rebel army, and supports hi
mistress and her children, and pays th
taxes on the plantation. Deprived 0
the labor Of his slaves, the maste
would be obliged to leave the cam
and return home to work with his ow7
| hands for The support ofhimself and family
From the surplus product Of the slave:
labor the masters are enabled to send al
the able bodied "poor white trash" to th
: army and make provision for the mainteu
ance Of their families during their absencs
: The slaves consume but little of their carr
, ings. They are led On the cheapest fooi
clad in the cheapest raiment, and worke
to the fullest extent. The negro woma
labors in the field as well as the man, and a
: the children from eight years and upward
must work. a thousand negro fanilie
produce as much surplus, over and abov
, their consumption, as two thousand Nort1
efn white families. -Four millions Of slave
contribute as much material aid to the II
bellion IS eight millions Of loyal whitt
can of.tet- If the rebels were deprived
The labor Of their s1aYes, the loss to ther
would be IS great as il the whole Nortl
west, with its eight millions Of inhabitant
should withdraw from the support of th
Government and call home its soldier
ALI the efforts which the eight Wester
States are making to put down the rebe
, lion is neutralized by the help which th
, rebels derive from the slave population.
The rebels employ this mighty engine
, military power against the Governne,
, with the full knowledge and consent
n the people Of the North. The reasonir
that justi1es this singular policy, talks
t this way: ave can't prevent the rebe
E from using their slaves against the Unit
