! A comprehensive view of the pending war in
its present aspect, contains everything not only
10 excite hope but to inspire glowing confidence
in he triumph of the Confederate cause. OuI
enemies have not oaly run up public debt So
vast thai with sll their ports open and oil 'helr
avenues to trade nndistuThed, they fear to lay
tsx sufficient to pay the interest but their ex
penditure of men hss been enormous.
Senator Grimes of Iowa, ii a late speech ad'
vocas;ng tbe enlistment OF negro soldiers, re-
isrred 10 the dele,eT0us tifa;ts OF the Southern
81 mate on tn. Nouthern soldiers, and said, that
! Iowa, a wear ego, had sent five full regiments

(. IS th. boast of the Northern papers that
tl.-y enlisted at the beginning of this war,
seven hundred TO seven hundred and fifty thou
sand men. Al that are L I. CT them are now in
the field The enemy have no reserves. This
Is proved by the fact !hst when IN lately con-
sder,d their capital IN daHger, they had 70 call
lof the militia, sad 20 sCduce them by the prom
Use to keep them only three months II IL cor
roboratsd by the farther fact, that when hcClel-
Ian aud Hslleck have begged for reinforce ments,
and they have been constant baggars, they could
only be era;ified by weakening otLer com
m2nds. la this manner it was that Banks says
he was viclimzed; perhaps, however, in that
case Jackson was meEely robbed OF greater to

The forces CT tie enemy are NcClellan's and

Dow5lrs, Shields ani Fremonts, say $1,000;

foregoing figures add up 800 600; aGd we think
they are too liberal. But putting the aggregate

The HsTald states The present strength Of the
northern army a. 100000, and the Confederate
army at 10000 IS above stated. We do moi
believe that Lincoln has near ,0C0 nen in Lis
camps; but even that number wODid show di
miuution Of 250 coo on what the Hrad says
they STATED with. Where are The rest! Thry
