TIE REBELS IN OHro.-Some Of the city jour.
nails have been making great fuss of late with
"extras" and so forth about the rebel raid in
Ohio Now what does IL all amount tor A
mere burglarious attack upon an insignificant
village, with very small population, probably
not two hundred, in which they shot one un.
armed man. Why, we have an efficient police
in this city, and yet burglaries and highway
robberies are sometimes committed Taking
advantage Of the lowness Of water at narrow
part Of the river, the rebel burglars rushed
across to the village Of Racine, scared the in
habitants murdered man in cold blood. and
then dashed back again. Jack Sheppard and
Dick Turpin have done bolder things many a
time.

that our forces are being so rapidly reinforced
from oil the Northern States, and we are getting
great army In the field ready for the most i'm
portant operations against the enemy, the navy
should actively participate in the fnal effort to
crush this rebellion. More vessels should be
despatched to all points along the coast and in
Che Gulf to prevent the entrance into Southern
ports Of those English steamers which are bring
ing aid and giving strength to rebellion. We
cannot plead the want OF a navy now; for we
have vessels enough to-day to cover all the
waters Of the Bahamas and Of the Gulf. From
this out not single vessel from Nassau or any
other neutral port should be permitted TO touch
rebe soil We have the capacity in abundance
70 prevent them, and ii any more steamers are
allowed to run the blockade with arms and sup.

The Military Resources or the Union and
the Rebeliion-Ths Crisis Of the War.
The rebels threaten the line of the Ohio and
Potomac, and have invaded Maryland Hunger
and desperation have compelled them to adopt
this new policy. All is now cast on the single
throw Of the die One the members of the rebel
Congress proposed the other day to raise two
hundred and fifty thousand more men for the re-
bel army, and the Richmond Dispatch OF the 26th
ult calls for the raising OF half a million Of
men to invade the North. In the rebel House
Of Representatives, on the 25th ult., Mr.. Foote
offered series of resolutions favoring an ag-
gressive war, also favoring proclamation to
the inhabitants Of the Northwestern States
Offering to guarantee the free navigation of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers to their mouths, If
they will desist from the further prosecution Of
the war.
With these facts before as, and In view
Of the pending struggle Of the rebels and the
extraordinary exertions which are being made
by tho Union on one side and the rebellion on tho
other, it may not be uninterssting to our readers
to give statement Of the relative muscular
strength Of the combatants, according to the
census Of 1860, in order to show that the rebel
lion has reached its eliminating point, and is
about to be crushed by the overwhelming
power Of the loyal people Of the republic.
The whole population Of the United States in
1860 was 81 ,64l ,977-that Of tho free States
being 1892, ,124, of the slave States ,433, sos,
and ofths Territories 400, ,345. The white popula-
tion of the Southern States, however, is only
84S4,l59, the slaves being 1898, 1853. But as the
rebellious States will not and dare not put arms
into the hands of the black population, we can
not take negroes into the estimate Of their mill
tary strength. Whatever the South do with
the negroes, We have an equal power to make
use Of them for all necessary labor about
the camps. The white males between the
ages Of Is and As inclusive, in both sections,
are, in round numbers, 5,433000, who are
apportioned as follows
WHITE MALES FROM EIGHTEEN TO FoGTY.FIyE
The New York herald., 1862-09-08

Before the conscription, JEFF. Davis, in his mes
sage. said there were four hundred regiments
in the field. These regiments have been
swelled by the conscription. OF these, three
hundred thousand men are in Virginia, and
the remainder elsewhere. For instance
IL is ascertained that the rebel troops
who fought on James Island were lately on
the Rapidan and Rappahannock. and are
now on the Potomac. All the exiles from
the South agree that, previous to the move-
ment against Pope, there were not less than
two hundred and fifty thousand in and around
Richmond. One OF the Virginia opposition
papers estimated the number at three hundred
thousand fighting men, According to these
calculations there would only remain reserve
of 33l 900 out of the ss6,00O fighting men ORR
ginally controlled by the confederacy But
even from this we ought to dodu ct the following

three months the rebels have been threatening
TO invade the North with their armies. That

The STEAMER NAsHvILLE-WHY CAN'T We
CAPTURE HER?-Our latest advices from Hilton
Head report the destruction Of this notorious
rebel craft at Savannah; but the informa-
ton is evidently incorrect. By intelligence
from Nassau we learn that she was daily
expected at that port with a cargo of cotton.
It will be recollected that this steamer left
Charleston, soon after the breaking out of the
rebellion, for Europe, where she remained for
some months closely watched by the United
States steamer Tuscarora, from which vessel,
by the act of the English authorities, she finally
escaped.
On her return she was supplied with coal by
the British ship Mohawk, at one of the British
West India islands, by which she was enabled
to run the blockade at Beaufort, N. c. whence
she again escaped our cruisers when the place
was occupied by our forces. Since that time
very little information has been obtained with
regard to her whereabouts or business, except
from occasional reports that she was in the SER
vice of the rebels.
We now have information from a source en-
tirely reliable that after running into Beaufort
she was abandoned by her owners, when she
was taken in charge by the rebel government,
which, finding her unfit for a war vessel, sold
her to Trenholm, Fraser u Co., of Charleston,
by whom she is now owned; and it should be
borne in mind that this concern has a branch
Office in this city.
In their hands she has been engaged in run
ming between Nassau and Warsaw Sound, this
last being her third trip to the latter place,
with arms and ammunition for the rebels. Not
withstanding the numerous reports of her ar
rival at and departure from Charleston during
the last year, the fact has been clearly estab-
lished that she has not been at that port since
her return from Europe.
The report of her being at Savannah is also
untrue, the water communication between War
saw Sound and Savannah river not being of
sufficient depth for her to pass through. Her
cargoes are taken on board and landed by
means Of small light draught steamers and
lighters, which ply between the towns along
the shores of the long chain Of inland bays and
creeks which line the coast from Charleston to
Fernandina.
AS the rebel terminus of her route is now
definitely settled it is TO be hoped that the
Navy Department will lose no time in devising
some plan to put an effectual stop to her traffic
between her Majesty's neutral port Of Nassau
and the rebel ports of Secessia.
The New York herald., 1862-09-08

he argues, dictates some provision for the in
crease Of tGs army, In the event OF contingencies
not now anticipated. A wise foresight requires
ed during the recess Of Congress requiring in
creased forces for defence, means should exist
for calling such forces into the field without
awaiting the reassembling Of the legislative de
partment Of tho government" On the heels Of
this message it is proposed in the rebel Con-
gress to raise Immediately 100000 men. But
this additional force will avail little for line
extending from the Missssippito the Chesapeake.
1t would require every available man in
the confederacy, to say nothing of the pro-
ject Of Northern invasion with which we
are threatened, and which would require
double the number Of men. The Rich
mond papers are clsmoring for an extension Of
the draft below the age Of eighteen. down to six
teen, the youth between these two ages to be
taken into the cavalry service, and the older
men now in the cavalry to be transferred to the
infantry. Such are the straits to which tho lead
ers Of the rebellion feel themselves reduced in
view Of the call Of tho President of the United
States for 100000 more men, and the ready, en-
thusiastic response given by tho Northern
States. Against the last reserve, therefore, of
the rebels, 25O,00Os Mr.. Lincoln has called out
100000, in addition to the $4,000 previously
enrolled, making nearly million and quar-
ter in ALL The old regiments are to be filed
up to the original standard. The whole army
in the field will thus number 100000 men,
against SOC, 900. or over two to one, without,
however, including any addition to the rebel
army.
1t is therefore evident that if the Southern
confederacy should put every available man
into the field, and strip every plantation Of
every effective man, Unionists az well as rebels,
from eighteen to forty-ive years Of age
their JQvce ,oould be a quarter Of million less
than the loyal Stotes ,oM actually haze organized
and IN the field on the lst Of October nert. Add
to this the tremendous naval power suddenly
improvised by the North, equal to half a million
of troops more, and what chance is there for
che rebels? None. Absolutely none. In face
of these facts, what do the raids across the Ohio
and into Maryland mean? Nothing but the
desperate throes of the rebel leaders.
The New York herald., 1862-09-08
WHITE MALES FROM EIGHTEEN TO FonTY.FIvH

This, however, is too favorable view of the
military strength of the rebels. They cannot
claim all the slave States, but only those which
render allegiance to the coafederacy Mary
land, Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri must
therefore be omitted from the list, which
would then give the following result
Eleven Confederate States. 1o6 900
-Four border slave States ............... $50 600
But as, on an average, three-lourths of the
population in these four border slave States
may be set down as in favor of the Union, and
one-fourth in favor of the coniederacy, the
population of the military age on either side
would stand as follows:-
For the Union d ,le2 $50
For the conederacy. ,2l0 T50
The foregoing figures are at the rate of about
one in five of the population women and
children. But as large allowance must be
made for sickness aud incompetency, one in
seven Of the population would be as high
figure as either section could bring into the
field Such is the experience of nations, even
one in ten being regarded an extremely high
conscripton The ieures would stand, in round
numbers, with one fighting man in seven
For the Unon, effective men 90 ,ee4 900
FOR thc cenledaracy $50 900
We are thus nearly three and balf to one,
after making the most liberal estimate in favor
Of the enemy. This is the highest amount of
military strength, in white men, the Southern
confederacy can claim. Thus 900 is the
very utmost that il could ever command OF
this number one hundred thousand at least
have been placed hors du combat in the battles
and skrmishes of the war According to the
estimates Of the Southern papers, there are

which have not yet been received.
