strength Of the ReboIs.

Most Of our contemporaries fall into
singular and most paIpable error in es-
tlmating the actual strength of the rebels.
They tell us, for example, that there are
less than four and half millions of
white population in the revolted States,
and then proceed to talk grandiloquently
of the twenty millions Of people in the
loyal States, as IL these figures give the
actual relative strength Of the North and
South. By what authority our cOntem-
porarits leave out nearly four millions of
farmers in the resolted States we knog
not There are perhaps nearly twelve
millions OF farmers in the free States;
andif we leave the producers Of prOyi-
sions and bread-stufis out of the estimate
in one section, we must also do il in the
other The two parties viii then stand
as four and a halt millions to less than ten
millions The slaves belonging TO rebels
in the seeded States are as much an
element Of rebel strength as their masters
are; and, indeed, we must also include
the slaves Of loyal men, because they
raise meat and bread-stuils, which their
masters are free TO ell to the rebel gov
eminent We lose sight Of the most inn
portant fact that the slaves are indispen-
sable aids TO the Confederate army in
waging the damnable war of rebellion,
and that without their help the whole
conspiracy would tumble to pieces over
the heads Of the Richmond dynasty. The
twelve millions Of Northern farmers
could stop the war tomorrow If they
should revolt against the government and
refuse to furnish it with provisions; and
the slaves of the rebels could stop the
breath of the Southern Confederacy as
quickly, il they should refuse to feed it.
The agricultural population Of both sec
tons are the hfe-blood Of the armies,
and without their corporation nothing
can be done. Hence, il is plain that in
calculating the strength Of both sections,
we must take into our estimate all who
produce the necessaries of life, and espe-
cially those who supply the cOmbatants
with bread and meat The slaves OF
South Caro!iua, Virginia, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia--yes and Tennessee,
in great measure--are to-day strength
ening the arm which shall lay low in
death many a noble soldier Of the Union.
And the Federal Government-thc Gev-
eminent of the Union--ov Government
which is engaged in deadly combat with
the traitors, must not lay its heavy hand
upon this prime element of the strength
of treason. SO say the Constitution
quibblers, the men who, amid the agon-
izing throes and cries of their mother
country, and the demoniac bowls of trail
tors, can rail at the former and apologize
for the latter--can shut their eyes TO the
fact that the traitors have trampled on
the Constitution, and can insist that the
Government shall extend over them, their
armies, and their property, the protection
of the Constitution.
