The Memphis union appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-07-16

THE effect Of the news heTeabouts, says the
Charleston Mercury, is already perceptible.
Cotton is looking up, and we hear of large
amount of Confederate bonds having just
changed hands at par and interest. We shall
be a little curious to learn the condition Of
Wall street to-day, and at what figure gold is
quoted in Northern cities.

In the the discussion upon the budget of the
army in the Corps LegisEGtiT, in May of last
year, it was stated that the actual effective
force of the French army was, at that period,
100000 men. France is enabled to put into
the field in the time of war, after the proper
ton of two per cent. of the population, from
10000 to 800, 600 men.
In giving detailed account of the distribu-
ton ofthem military strength of France, through
out the various arms of the service, we have
adopted the figures which appertain to the full
strength of the army wRea placed upon war
footing. In times Of peace, however, the Dat
talions Of the active troops are never full-in
fact it will be seen from the above table that
the infantry, placed upon peace footing, is
but half the strength to which it can, accord
ing to present authorizations, be raised in time
Of war.

Forms a complete corps darmee of itself, and
it will be found to be separated from the regi-
ments of the line in the following lists

ought to suppress the New York Herald and

WAsHINGTON, Sept %. The ull in the
news Of the army movements in Virginia south
Of here, may be the usual calm before the
storm. The Confederate army, il is supposed
By many, will retreat ere long 70 (1ord0nsyilIe,
NOT being able to stand campaign where they
are at presen in consequence Of the utter dcS~
ol2ti0n Of the country. Our armies have not
yet had any success in reaching GordonSyille,
never having proceeded further than Orange
{ ulrt H3u>e and the Confe:lerateS have ma c
the former their stronghold AMI likewise their
base Of supplies. It is said that the crops in
the country south ami west Of GorcIon>y ille are
very good, owing marIy to the fact that they
have li0t committed any depredatons upon the
lands OF their own friends and partiSanS. 1t is
known that their frequent boast has been that
should Pope with his army even succeed IN
getting anywhere near Gorionsvle, when he
r,achei that place his further progress would
be impossible, as the Notifications Of that local
ity were OF the greatest strength. | may be
wrong in my calculations, yet am not alone.
/ have heard the same opinion expressed sew
eral tt1cs lately, and really think from the cir
eumstancas surrounding, there IS lI4usihjitv
in supposIng that stand for REORGANIZATION
and defence will be made IS GorC0nsyllle, and
thus will recommence the chasing and racing in
Old Virginia.
