The administration at Washington have q,
last awakened to something like realizing
sense of the magnitude of the rebellion. iThsy
have issued another call for three hundred
thousand men, to b raised By draft, and have Or
dered that if the former call for three hundred
thousand be not filed by the 18th of the preseu.
month, the draft shat be resorted to for tie def.
cheney. faag.s ,af MI E..s...
This is first indication BY the administration
since the war began that they comprehend ths
magnitude of the rebellion. Hitherto they have
exhibited ridiculous confidence in the power Of
q certain number of troops to suppress it. and
few months ago checked volunteering, dis
banded partly formed regiments, and announced,
in substance, that all that was necessary to I'm
ish up the work of suppression was to march
the army of six hundred thousand men down
the hill. We have witnessed the march and the
result Of it. son ..f ia ;a.e.s.-T .ra be
The pending calls will place an effective force
of about one million of troops in the field. The
three hundred thousand embraced in the present
call will probably be employed in holding places
already captured and which shall be captured b
the progress of the war, thus leaving some sew
en- hundred thousand for active fighting serviea
The force altogether is immense, but none too
great fos the service required of 1t. We trust
it Will be sufficient for the service required of il
The last call being for men for nine months
service, it may be reasonably inferred that The
administration have made that the period d.

The administration are right, finally. Tn
only way to crush the rebellion is to put . crush
ing force into the field. If there be any doubt
that the force now provided for is not crushing
the administration are criminal in not calling for
q million Of men, or whatever number would
constitute an overwhelmingly crushing force

PREVENTING rHx WAR TO TIN PuRPosEs OF
FANAr1crsx.-A Surgeon Of the SD Indiana
regiment, in the South, writes that "our msa
have killed many blood hounds valued at $lOs
apiece. These dogs, kept to hunt runaway n
groes, were pat after some Of our men, and beue'
their slaughter"
This is 80 gross departure from the conservs
tive method Of prosecuting the war, that it car
not fail to excite alarm in the bosoms Of all thos
who revere "the institutions of the States

should take notice of this infraction of the

property, inviolable. By what authority doe'
any military commander presume to destroy
property in this ruthles, way! The Constitu
ton of the United States affords no warrant TOT
such procedure. 80 70.
Again, these particular dogs are so important
an auxiliary TO the institution of ths Southern
