GEN kEARNEY's 8 OPINION. From the interest
ing letter Of Col. Revere, to which we referred
yesterday, we make the following extract,
which gNe- not merely his own opinion but the
opinion OF one OF our most experienced gen
erals in relation to the valor and discipline OF
the -uemy:
"As TO their drill and discipline under fire 1t
IL truly splendid. Gen. kearney, who has had
more experience ia war than any general now
IN the trmy--having served with the troops of
Scott In MoAIcU, seen several Campaigns in Al.
ger,a. and served with the Imperial Guard In
the Italian campaign, ending with Solferino.
where there were 400 900 combatants engaged
says that, at Fair Oaks, the brilliant man G u.
vering of the Southrons, with overwhelming
numbers Of clockwork men, Il never saw such
discipline under fire, even with the French }

SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN.

The Presidents order OF yesterday adds
100000 nine months drafted men 10 the 3OO,-
900 volunteers lately called for. This will
make new force, equal In itself 10 the high
est humber we have had at any time during
the war. Added to the force now in the field,
1t will make a round million Of men.
When this great array is in arms, the public
temper will tolerate no dilly dallying under
the name OF strategy. We must have heavy
blows and quick blows. And such, we hope
and believe, Is the determination Of the Ad-
ministration.
Virginia at any rate, must be thoroughly
purged of rebellion by this force, and this cap
ital Is not really safe until that is done. We
must not only drive the rebel armies out Of
Virginia, but we must drive out all the re bels
not in arms.
1t is said here, by some persons that the
President now enlarges bis call to 100000
men 10 the hope that he may be able to emo
the war without using the negro" This Il
an idle speculation upon motives. The call Il
made, az matter OF fact, and II the suppres
sion Of the rebellion is not accomplished by It
we shall then hear no objection to .using the
negro except from those who might as well
svow their wish that the disruption Of the
Union may be made permanent.

MODEL GESERAI---General Williams, who
commanded our land forces in the late not
very creditable operations against vicksburg,
Is said by correspondent of the Cinciuna II
GdE.te, to have been very efficient in guarding
rebel property and returning fugitive slaves.
His last performance n the matter OF return
ing slaves, with its consequences, is thus do
scribed:
Before General Williams went he sent the
Ceres down TO return three hundred negroes
who had been AT work on the canal. As the
boat reached Warrenton she WAS fred into by
field battery Of three pieces, and Il captain
III the Seventh Vermont regiment killed, and
two or three privates wounded"
What security have the negroes, who are i'm
pressed elsewhere into the service OF the United
States, thai they will not be returned to their
old masters after their labor is no longer need
