Condition of our Army.

The condition Of our army is such as to excite the
deepest feeling, and to call forth the most active ef
forts for their relief writer in the Charlotte
Democrat says:
81 had conversation few days ago with Col
bnel on furlough direct from the army, and he cor
roboraes the report Of the Savannah correspondent
and remarked that many of the soldiers needed eve
nv kind of clothing-many had not change since
August and the consequence was that they were
covered with vermn which they coutd not divest
themselves of, that great many were barefooted,
that blankets were very scarce and totally INSULT
Gent to keep the troops in tolerable comfort and
unless aid was extended soon he could not predict
the consequences that our boys needed everything
but indomtable bravery and ardent love of country
and concluded by saying, give US food clothes
shoes and blankets, and we will take care of the
Yankees"
The Richmond Wing thus notices the efforts
made by the government to clothe and shoe the ar
nv. 1t is obvious, from the following statement,
that the government will not be able to provide in
this respect for more than half of our troops The
Wig says.
ave understand that the government has already
forwarded to Gen. Lees army over 80 900 garments,
and a large shipment of shoes. This number of
garments, allowing Soa' pau VI p'''''s' anu n
to man, will furnish suits, say, for 10000 needy
men, This will 60 far towards relieving the more
| destitute. The government has in its employ, in
this city, So taiors who cut OF the CLOTH and 700
| women who make it up into garments-the whole
turning out on an average, 5000 garments per
week, or coats, pants, and shirts for 5000 men,
There are other establishments, in other parts Of
the Confederacy, where clothing is being manufac
tured for the army, and the force engaged is sufi
Gent, perhaps, to turn out 10000 garments week
At this rate, estimating army in the field al
400, 600 men, it would require more than year te
furnish each man with single suit of clothes! i
we suppose the various government establishments
will be able to supply 100000 men by Christmas
there will still be 100000 left, who will have tt
look to the people at home for their outfits, or g
without clothing. If the government should pro

South.CarOlina Troops.

We are surprised to learn from the Columbia
Guardian that South Carolina has only 10000
troops in Virginia. These are said to be in bad
condition for clothing. The State authorities have
turned over the clothing &C., in their hands to the
Confederate authorities but the clothing on hand is
poorly suited to the troops in Virginia The State
had no Shoes shirts or drawers to turn over and
the suits on hand will only supply one-thlrd The
greater portion of the troops raised by South-Car
olina are in the State to defend their own SOIL with
one of the best generals in the Confederacy to COM
mind them. North Carolina, who has sent $4,000
men to Virginia and clothed them, cannot get the
nledge of having a sufficient force to defend her,
nor the promise of a Major General to command
our troops whom our people can confide Ill., Yet
North Carolina makes no attacks upon the Pres
dent, while the South Carolina papers have for
uauths expressed the opinion that President Davis
is UNEQUAL to the crisis. The Guardian hints, and
yery truly too, as the whole country is now ready
to believe that the President believing himself fully
equal to the task, has CALLED to his aid the
first minds of the Confederacy, and therefore, may
be said to shoulder the whole responsibility.
The South Carolina papers begin to think that
that State will be made to feel severely this winter
the iron heel of Lincoln and calling loudly for
help. A State that de6ed the whole power of the
United States and went out alone, ought to be able
to help herself and have something for surplusage.

A Public Necessity.

The exigencies of the war IRE forcing upon US
great changes in our population. Many persons Of
vicious character hitherto living in Northern Cities,
have come South, and under various pretences en-
tered the Southern army but soon deserted and
are now rowing the country. They are not Of US,
and may not be trusted. Many of our own popu-
lation have deserted and fearing apprehension have
not returned home, but seek to elude the officers
search in strange neighborhoods. Men who are
untrue to their country's flag cannot be trusted
Besides this the occupancy Of the seacoast by the
Yankees have necessarily driven out many Of the
black population into other districts and hence the
discipline which formerly controlled them has be-
come more lax. Moreover, what may be the pre-.
else effect of Lincoln's proclamation upon the black
population generally, the period draws neaI for
its proposed execution cannot be fully determined
So far their past conduct since the war began ar
CUES anything, we may expect no difficulty yet tho
mixing Of new and strange associations. and
knowledge of the proclamation itself, which many
OF them undoubtedly have, may work mischief
among them, demanding the most rigid police.
At all events, it is not time when our domestic
discipline should be overlooked or indi fferently at
tended to. We beg, therefore, to call the earnest
attention Of the County Courts of the State, and
the authorities of all our towns to the immediate
and pressing Importance Of establishing and organ
'sing at an early day, strong and efsctiue ARMED
police throughout the State to be Kept up during
the war. The necessity for this is so obvious that
we need not argue the point. Let it be done quick
ly if We would avoid contingencies of the most
rious character. This police in the Counties and
towns should be as large as possible, embracing
every able bodied white male from 16 to 60, not
physically or mentally incompetent; and in the
country, especially, it should be foot and mounted
armed police. The labor might be so arranged as
to make it light burden to all, and yet preserve
an efficient organization for any emergency.
