QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

The Rebel COnscripts now confronting our
Volunteers in every quarter, have nothing that
can be called q uniform. They are very glad
to ind q covering for their nakedness. Three
fourhs Of them are in rags that would DIS
grace o scarecrow, an1 have to strip their
backs Of these TO bind up their bruised and
bleeding shoeless feet. They have all manner
OF arms, but very few good ones-lhese mainly
taken from our dead AID captured soldiers.
Tents, they do not pretend to have, nor rub
Der blankets, nor anything OF the SORT Ineir
usual outfit il some kind of a iire-lock on the
shoulder, with a hard cracker (when in luck
in one pocket and handful Of cartridges IN
the other. Thus equipped, they viii march
twenty-five miles per day on n pinch and
fight desperately on empty stomach' at the end
of it.
Our men must have the very bost Spring
field riaed muskets or Enfield rifles before
they will march at all. They must have
wooden blanket and one of rubber. KNAPP
sack, bayersack, cartridge box, csnteen, two
pairs Of stout shoes two pairs OF wooden panta-
looms, a dress coat, blouse. an oyercoat,
wooden shirt. two pairs Of wooden socks. TN
cup, &C., &C., amounting to iilty pounds
weight TO each man, exclusive OF tents. OF
course, they cannot make any thing Like n
marcn under all this load. while the plunder Of
a demoralzed Union regiment will III up a
Rebel brigade for the Winter. II a good part
is loaded upon wagons, these nFc never at
hand when wanted aud sure to be just where
the Rebels can pcunce upon them. Consc-
quently, our proiuse outfits are keeping the
Rebels from utter nahedIes' and dissolution.
We would have our soldiers made as comfort
able rs they can be; bu. at present they are
enormously overloaded. And when we hear that
some regiments refuse 20 march 10 the defense
of our inperiled capital TIL their outfit shall
have been completed, we arc led To fear that
such, when fully equipped, viii hardly be a
match. whether at fighting or running, for
Sionewa Jackson's Raunt AID ragged Icvles.
However, We will live in hope.

tily wish they were there. and that our SOL
6iers were strongly posted on the Potomac
preparing to move upon them. If they choose
to come still further North let them come
1t is one thing to come North, and quite an
other TO get safely back again.
We have no faith in their advancing into
Maryland, except for mere raid. They have
friends in that state who would be delighted
by their presence, end would help them to the
shoes and clothes whereof they are sadly in
need. They might possibly pick up some arms
and ammunition. But they are far more likely
to diminish than increase their stock of every
thing but provisions, which would seem inca.
pabe of reduction.
We do not dread Rebel advance in force
into Maryland: we do fear tho escape of their
Grand Army up the Valley or back to their
old defensive position on the Rappahannock.
Should they now glide away, they will claim a
decided advantage in the late surprises and
conflicts. And not without reason.
Let them stay where they are u month, pre-
tending to threaten Washington, and half OF
them will never see Richmond nor Winter
again. Let them advance into Maryland and
seek to stay there or come further, aud trey
will fare even worse.
We have ceased to hope for any display Of
genius or decided military capacity on the part
of our Generals commanding. The Rebellion
must he crushed out by the mere weight o.
our columns. And to this end, time is az least
on our side. Give US one little month to orul,
equip, and discipline our new leyies, and The
Rebels will flee from the vicinity Of Washington
more precpitately than they did last Spring.

TEE ARMIES ON THE POTOMAC

We are just armng and putting INTO the
field new force OF certainly not less than
Half o Million Men. Meantime, there seems
10 be o prevalent dissatisfaction that our Mill
tary leaders do not fight aud conquer prior to
the appearance OF the bulk Of this force on the
field where the Nations destnes are TO be
decided.
Now We deprecate all needless delay; bat
this looks to us Like uDjustiGable rashness.
Every day adds from FIVE to ten thousand men
to our Potomac army; every day adds 10 the
efficiency and stability of our raw Volunteers
just placed in the field. VIGOROUSLY, the
Rebels cannot increase their force on the Po-
tomac nearly so fast as we can ours. WHY.
then, should we wish decisive battle when
every day increases our relative strength
But the enemy will advance into Maryland
in force" We don't believe it, but we hone
they may. n their Grand Army were on the
susquehanna to-day, IL would simplify matters
and expedite conclusions amazingly. We hear.

CALF OiINlA.

A State Election was held yesterday in Cal
iiornia, but We have yet no mixing Of the
result. The rival parties style themselves
respectively q" Union and Democratic"-ail
the RcpubIicans being included IN the former,
and oil the Breckenridge aud sem Secession
Democrats IN fhe latter, while the Douglas
men Of 1850 are partly on ono side partly Oh
the other. But Tor the fact that u. 5. Sen
ator for SIX years IS TO be- chosen, there would
be no doubt OF | MON triumph; but Gov
Latham's Senatorial term expires next March,
and he is making very determined efforts to
secure reelection chasing himself M Union
or Douglas Democrat, aud working Lard to
bring all tho Douglas men into the support ol
the regular Democratic ticket. and he viii
doubtless secure for it thousands OF Douglas
votes that would otherwise he east Tor the
Union ticket; 50 tho result is ,cry doubtful
la case OF Union triumph. 1t IS thought that
+. W. Park of san Francisco viii succeed Mr.
Latham in the Senate.
The only State Officer TO be chosen this year
is Superintendent Of Public Instruction.
John SWEET il The UniOn. Jonathan ID. Stevenson

We DO not feel al liberty at present TO state
the facts within our knowledge respecting re-
cent changes in the chief command OF our
Union armies in Virginia, much less 20 print
the comments that those changes arc calculated
to provoke. Sufiice it that We sincerely hope,
without implicitly believing, that ali lie for the
best, and that the results VIII yinlcate the
wisdom Of the course ultimately taken. Should
this hope be disappointed, a terrible response
bility will rcst somewhere, and we shall be
able TO locate it, Meantime, let all realize
that, whoever may at any time be in COM
