However much the administration may
have underestimate the strength Of the
rebellion, it is plain that it has now taken
hold Of the matter in earnest and that the
gigantic powers Of the loyal States are to !
he energeticany employed to crush treason
and to sustain the constitution and the |
laws Of the country.
The orders to fill up the old regiments.
when executed, as they eooa will be, will
give us at low estimate six hun
dred thousand men in the field; and when
the two calls for three hundred thousand
more are filled, as they certainly will be,
within the next three OF four weeks, kr.
Lincoln will be ommander-in-chief Of one
million two hundred thousand men. With
the means and resources at the command
of the government, the new recruits can
all be ready for the field by the fifteenth
cf October-certainly by the first Of No:
vember. Suppose hundred thousand
men he left in and about Washington to
render that "valuable institution" per
fectly safe, fifty thousand be assigned to
the seaboard south Of the chesapeake, and
ffcy thousand more be scattered about
Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky to look
afler and hang guerillas, we shall then have
two armies OF half q million Of men each,
one cast and the other west Of the noun
tains, to commence their triumphant march
to the Gulf Of Mexico.
With such an army-embracing moro
intelligence, patriotism ana courage than
WIS ever before massed in any army in the
whole history Of the world, who can doubt
that this most wicked rebellion can and
will he crushed out by the first Of January!
1lr. Lincoln aud his Cabinet, as we are as
sured by gentlemen just from Washington,
are fearfully in earnest. They mean work
in the fullest sense Of the term. There IS
TO be 10 more guarding rebel cora fields
and hen roosts, while the owners are in
the rehel army, No more " contrabands' ~
are to be returned to their rebel masters.
The kid glove pol;y, all are now salts
fed, has utterly failed, aud war with all
its ter1ors is soon to oEertake the traitor
crew who have so long and SO madly de-
fed the best government on earth.
Let no one be discouraged If during the
next few weeks some rcverses should be
fall our armies The wiley enemy know:
full well that now if ever Is the time tt
strike. Whenever an opportunity offer
he will mass his forces and fight with ma
lignant desperation. The recent at
tack Of Brcckin1idge upon Bato1
Rouge, and Of Jackson upon Pope
are but foretaste Of what we have ever
reason to expect But let no friend of th
Union for one moment doubt the re
suit. With million Of men il

EDUCATING THE PEOPLE

Never was people in more rapid pro-
cess Of education tlan the citizens Of the
loyal States. The rebellion is doing this
work more tffectually than ten thous-
aud orators and a1l the newspapers
in the land could have done.
Men, who year ago were cursing the
government and all republicans as abo-
liionists, are now the most ardent advo-
Gates for the vigorous prosecution Of the

truly wonderful and significant, showing
how the war is bringing patriotic men of

such measures should be adopted. The dis.

European dates to the lob uIgimo bring some

In France great activity prevails Three iron

Orders had also been forwarded 70 Portsmouth

Austria is also moving, and a special committee

We observe that enc of BUTLER orders com

nor the banks thereof, exchange their notes, bills
