philosophical, which looks forward, through
the war clouds which now envelope our land,
to day when the passions, slaked in blood,
shall at last permit reason to resume her sway,
and when the South as well as the North shall
be both proud and happy that an oppressed
race has been converted from chattels into
free laborers, and the only obstacle removed
which has ever lain in the path of our united
nation to prosperity and true glory.
Even if these be dreams, / for one would
not exchange my faith for that short-sighted
materialism which, in either hemisphere, can
see any good to the world in the downfall of
our great and free Republic.

REBEL RECRUITING.

We Gre in the frequent receipt of the leading
journals from nearly every important city in
what remains to him OF the late dOminions Of
JEFF. Davis. Various topics engross the edito-
rial columns of these oraces OF secession
topics financial military mechanical, topograph-
jc. marine and Neutrality-suspicious. Of them
discussed in o manner Mt all indicative OF

is 20 sanguinary that Mrs. Malaprop might
possibly term it sangune. The various organs
play various tunes; but one stavc il absent
from none of them and runs thus: Enlist

clutch your $50 to 500 bounty; for If you
- do Mt the militia orderly will be after you to-
morrow with draft, ana then you must serve
" in the army anyhow and will receive no bounty
" A. anr And notices Of drafting in this OF
that section prove that very large portion OF
the Rebels now in arms have been dragged
from their homes by conscrip!ion or compelled
to enlist under pressure which differs barely
in name from downright coercion.
Now, the Southern Whites are prominently
martial people. They are trained TO tho use OF
firearms from early boyhood, aud are familiar
with peril and death. Were they embarked in
cause which commanded their general and
hearty approval, they would find little difficulty
in calling out Half Million Volunteers. a

rho,,.nds Of them rushed pclImell into seces'
lion a, . sure way of bullying the North INTO
concadiue what they funnily style their rish1s'
.,n.ctine that We should suesumb az usual,
s.f N. Union be restored without less OF
hlood. Those who enlisted at first did 80 IN
order TO carry out the game; and thousands
rushed to their standards after Bull Run, sup
posing that the North had now got enough,
and would be glad to concur in an adjust
" mentn which would preclude further blood
shed.
Since Port Royal, Dranesville Mil Spring,
Fort Henry. Roanoke Island, Fort Donelson
and Pea Ridge, they see the matter in Diff
ferent light. They now understaDd that the
West will surely fight for the Union, and will
soon be- convinced that the East will do Ike
wise. They realize that DIsunion can only be
achieved, if at all. through Rebel victories
which must cost an enormous eilusion OF blood.
And this blood the greater number OF them are
by no means eager to SGT flowing, especially If
is 70 be their own. They may hate the Yam
KEGS franticaly; but they do not Ike to die
fighting against the old Stars and Stripes
Hence their reluctance to enlist; hence the in
cessant ding-dong for recruits; hence the
meagerness of their regiments and the ieeDie-
ness OF some Of their fighting. They are some
times rallied at by their leaders as towards,
when their real repuguance to conflict flows
from their dislike to die as traitors, fighting to
discover and DESTROY their native land.

Sl3. 900 900 for the same period is surely not
an extraysgant proportion for all that was
done and all that was prepared for in tho West
results We have already reached.
Or look at it another way. The army that
Gen. Fremont raised and equipped, and armed,
and that now holds peaceful possession in Mis-
souri and has defeated and driven Price into
the wilds of Western Arkansas numbered about
90 900 men. The army of the Union IS about
900. 900 men, or ten times as large. AS
two hundred millions of dollars for 600, OOO
men ore spent in q hundred days, then the
proportion spent Of that sum for $1,000 men
for the same period would be twenty millions.
But Gen. Fremont expended only fourteen mil
lions to put on foot, to organize to arm MS
60 900 men, and to build the gunboats which
have since done such signal service, and 10
do all the other things that signalized that
campaign, instead Of twenty millions. There
is no getting away from such fact as this.
He expended actually one-third less, a
thousand miles from the seat Of government,
surrounded with obstacles, aud harassed on
every side, than he was entitled to according
to the standard set up every where else. And
vet with all this he actually did, and was
on the point of doing, what elsewhere months
of preparation were still necessary to accom-
psh. Now, isn't it about time that gigantic
slapder, with all the rest, was dead and
