THE STRENGTH OF THE SOUTHERN ARMY.
The New York Herald has heard from an escaped
Yankee (ciizen) from Charleston that the conscrpt
act will put 10000 men in the Confederate army
1t says:
Now, il it be true that the rebels have these
forces in the field-even though many of them must
be raw and unarmed levies-it only shows the ne
cessity of our Government placing such force in
the field as will crush the rebellion by rapid sue
cegsion OF vigorous and decisive blows. The first
thing in order will be the capture of the rebel cap
itai This will be blow mere severely felt among
them than any other injury could infct, and
would complete the decentralization Of their affairs.
For the safety of our Government, therefore. and
the final triumph of cur armies the constituted
authorities must provide reipforcements immedi-
ately for Gen. Mcclellan Not that the noble army
under this gallant officer will be defeated if such
reinforcements net sent forward, but TO enable
the General promptly and victoriously to carry out
those very plans which he has been restrained from
executing the nnwise action Of the radical members
Of Congress in Washington.
