HOW Many Men Have tho Rebelsp

How Many Men Have tho RebelsP
The Rebels have always been wont to
brag immensely. In speaking Of their
rccources they have boasted as though
the population of the whole world was
at their back and the wealth Of the
world only awaiting their call Even
Alexander FL Stephens cannot forbear
to speak bombastically when talking of
the power of the South. 1--WE can call
Out a million IF people, if need be; and
aohen they are CIT do,on zoe can call ou
another, and still another" Large talk.
this three millions of soldiers out of a
white population, women and children
included, of 5,549,525, would be a mira.
Gle indeed.
1t is well to look from time to time,
at the statistics of the so called Confed-
crate States, in order to estimate Alright
the statements Of the Rebels and to OBJ.
tain q correct view Of the work which we
may possibly be called upon to perform.
Tho rolls of 1860 estimates the entire
militia force Of these States at 699,1
A levy en- n,asse of all white men, be-
tween the age Of eighteen and fifty,
would only give total Of LOO, ,9O9.-.
Many Of these, of course, are sick, or
crippled, or from some cause unable to
do service in the field One million of
men may safely be pat down as the very
largest number that the most rigid con.
scription act could possibly call into the
Geld at the commencement of the war.
Ofthese, official reports stated hat
three hundred and forty.ninc thousand
had been called into service before the
first Of December last. There we're left
then, at tho very turthest, not moro
than six hundred and fifty one thous-
and subject to further calls. From
these we must subtract also that large
number who are needed to furnish the
immense supplies which the army de.
mands, as also those who are imperative
ly demanded as safeguard on this
plantations to direct and control, over.
awe their four millions of slaves.
We may, without fear that the mum.
Der is too large, take away two hundred
thousand for these purposes, leaving, as
as the only possible reserve, four hun
drel and fiity-one thousand.
There is no reason to doubt that eve-
ry man who can be compelled into the
service is now driven forward by the
Rebel leaders, The armies and other
forces DOW in the field will not probably
number in all more than five hundred
and fifty thousand. These must be
beaten. then the work will be done -
It will he done, and, we trust, right
soon.-Phila. Inquirer.
