THE PRo.EcurIoN or Tue VAR.

The Gov 81 Dment mas Deep P5osecu'0
ing tho war ~ ainst the rebellion tor
about eighteen months. The success
which has attended our arms has not
been h.ttering to the degree expected,
though it must be confessed that large
amount of work has been done. We
have counted too uch on the weak
ness of the enemy. That has been the
Oh let error. Instead Of calling ont .
handful Of men at first, when the con-
sp,racy Was weak, the President should
have called for . million. But the
country has had to les' o its lesson. The
school has been . long aud costly one,
bot is evident that the people Of the
loyal States have become pretty thor
oughly educat. d as to their duty. We
c. n oil see at this time what might have
been done months ago, had We only
kuo~n then as much as We do now.
Nvso Ne know it all, and from the
vigorous action inaugur ated by the Ad-
min,stration, the country has reason to
expect that the rebellion will be crushed
within the coming nine months. In
that time the Southern army, as an or.
gsnized institution, will have ceased to
exist. In one month from the present
time the old regiments, numbering
about .eveu hundred, will be filed. This
will make an army OF seven hundred
thousand Of itself. The 100000 requi
sition will soon be ready for service, and
the 100000 draft will shortly be under
marching orders. Here, then, We have,
Independent Of the navy and regular
army. . force of one million and three
hundred ,hous md soldiers ready tor
service. With such . force, such an
overwhelming mass Of muscle, it cannot
b. otherwise than that the southern le
gions will be crushed. Our army " II
outnumber that of the South, two t.
one, and with proper management will
bring the bloody work to . speedy
close.
But should ito happen that million
and q quarter of men are unequal to the
task, II is certain that there 10 Just as
many more more to come forward to
their assistance. There is no such word
as fail in this matter. The sinews Of
war are with US, and if 1t requires every
able-bodied man in the country to re.
store the Union and maintain the Con.
stitut,on, let them be used for that pur
pose. No turning back /; no wavering
must be tolerated. To give up the
cause at this time, or at any time, would
be the most cowardly and detestsble &C,
on record. What we have failed to dc
heretofore must be done now. The way
is clear and the end must be reached
though rivers Of human gore intervene
