From tho Atlanta (Geo) Appeal, June ~
There Is probably at this time army OF not less than
ten thousand mcn-sslders--scatercd throughout tho
conederacy, guarding depots Of provisions, railroad
trains and On oper detailed service We're these troops
collected together they would constitute quite aormidabie
little army and the question to be considered cannot
this be done and they brought into the e while their
places may be filled with Others not IL for active field
servicor such thing mind In entirely practica

subject 10 conscrption or military service under the laws
OF the conlederacy.
This matter. conceive, Is net unworthy the aten

the present emergency, when every man, capable OF
active service, should be in tho held And In this

We have pointed of supply OF troops which
be furnished without weakening other points OF dan

acsuated BY spirit of patriotic devotion viii take
