ALI WILL COME RIGHT.

Dellipg the flight of his greatly outnumbered
force down the Shenandoah Valley, excited
apprehensions at Washington which, however
ard derided now, were very real,
and 10 our view very reasonable. 1t was sup
posed that the great body of tho Rebels in
Virginia, while amusing Gen. Mcclellan with
a promise Of desperate resistance in front OF
had slipped away. leaving that
place to fall finally with but shadow Of re-
while they made rush upon the line
of tho Potomac. hoping to clutch the vast
amounts Of munitions and provisions collected
in and around Washington and Baltimore, and
perhaps to naugurate their long threatened
offensive by q demonstration upon Philadelphia
or the rich region around Lancaster and Har-
risburg. II now seems that they were far less
entsrprising and audaclous than was inferred
by many few days since, but that does not
make the inference unwise or Improbable.
The Government called on tho North for
Militia TO meet the new exigency; and the call
was promptly and uobly responded to. Had
that call been simply persisted in, or lett I'M
modified, force OF fully One Hundred
Thousand Men, the flower of the North, UNI
formed and toeraby drilled by companies and
regiments would have poured into Washington
and Baltimore at the rate of FIVE thousand per
day for the next twenty days, ready for three
months GOOD service, and little preferring
that it should include some fighting than that
il should be restricted to digging trenches and
standing guard And this Hundred Thousand
would haze nowise impeded the recruiting OF
another like number to serve for the War.
All our Generals commanding in the field
ask for more men. Gen. McClcllan's delay in
front of Richmond is only applicable On the
assumption that he wants more men. Gen.
Mcdowell has stopped month at Fredericks-
Lurg for the same reason. McDowell's brigndes
have been drawn away in answer to the
urpent representations of Mcclellan, and Banks
weakened to fill the consequent gaps in Nc
Dowell's lines, until " Stcnewall Jackson

the Valley, with loss of most OF his SICK ana
wounded, a good part Of has munitions, ana

Gen. UalIeck stands stlll at Corinth, es-
IDENTITY desiring more men. Gen. Curtis is

red at Huntsville for want Of more men, and
because he, too, must support Gen. llallecks
demonstration on Corinth. And worst of oil,
East Tennessee-patriotic. heroic, bleeding, dy-
ing-must remain under the heel OF her cruel
oppressors for the want Of few thousand men.
To oil human apprehension, the One Hundred
Thousand Militia which the Government is now
offered and refuses. would suffice to turn The
scale at every doubtful point and crush out the
armies Of the Rebellion.
