shopt, and have only to learn one or two
words of command, aud a few staple
movements, to be as good soldiers as TWEEN

The superiority of our population was
strangely overlooked last year, wheu we
suffered the finest army ever assembled to
rot at Manassas, and gave the enemy time
TO drill their new levies IL we pursue the
same policy again, we shall again suffer-
But II. Congress will extend the conscrip-
ton, so as to embrace all between eighteen
and forty i've; and if the war Is then push
ed-pnshed at once, and into the enemy's
country, the new ieyies of the Yankees will
avail them nothing, but on the contrary,
being little better than rabble ront, will
prove'an invaluable aid TO our advancing
columns. 81
If, in addition, Congress- could infnse a
little Of the arlor of the country into the
President, and persuade him to disencum-
Der the departments of some of the Yam
KEGS and Jews with which they are infest-

suits at no distant day. That there are
traitors and spies in the departments, no
one doubts. General Lee, to delude them,
in planning his attack upon Mcclellan, on
the ChickahomiDy, had to resort to the ex-
traordiaary .expedieut of sending $4,000
men to jackson by way of Lynchburg and
Charlottesville, as though Washington were
the object aimed at. The ruse succeeded
Mcclellan was instantly informed of the
moyement, and Lincoln made it the ground
for refusing to send any more troops TO the
Peninsula. The same traitors nre still in
Richmond, and in Office; ht least we haVe
not heard iof any ofithem being removed.
The city of Washington itself must be
annihilated- There can be no peace until
the nest of Yankees and traitors are exter-
minated. II is q bar to any satisfactory
Intervention by foreign powers; and would
forever constitute bone of contention in
the event tof5atempOrary adjustment. The
fate of Carthage must be that ofrWashing-
