strength Of the Rebel Army The
Southern CONSUMPTION Bureau.
The following editorial from the Rich
mond Wing, of May 81, confirms the
reports OF deserters, that an invasion of
the North is contemplated by the rebels,
and that Ice has been reinforced since
the Chance, orsvil.e batlls
A cotamp rary informs US that there
are now Ia the Confederate service from
100000 t) GjO.OO0 effective men. This
intelligence is equally startling and
agreeable. 1t would have added to the
stunning effect Of the pleasant surprise if
tabular statement of the present local
ity of these $4,000 effective men had
been given. A third of them is, doubt
less, with Lee, having reached him Just
after the late battles. Another third is
with Johnston and Pemberton, who APP
pear, however, to have hidden them away
for stragetic purposes. The rest are in
Louisiana, reposing after their easy vic
tory over the handful of men under
Banks. On allsides the greatest paucity of
Yankees is seen. Why, then, do not our
armies carry the war into the Northern
States, and why is not the CONSUMPTION
Bureau, which has completed its work so
handsomely, closed and its clerks and
officers returned to the field?
In reply to these heterogeneous a
skeptic would say that ii IS Doubtful
,0leiIer tie Coye3eracy could boast the half
of $4,000 effective men in the fell. He
would add that the Consumption Bureau,
so far from having completed its work,
had scarcely begun it, The skeptic
might 60 further, and declare that there
were now in the Confederacy at least
100000 men who have escaped conscrip-
ton by the merest preteXts.
The Chief of the Consumption Bureau
has done all perhaps that his limited
means enable him to do. But every
member of Congress, every influential
citizen, every surgeon and every weak
hearted and soft headed enrolling officer
have been in conspiracy against him.
Any man who wants 10 keep out of the
army, or TO get out after he is in, can get
certificates and recommendations with
out end from the best aud highest men in
the land. How can a poor oonsoript
general war against these? The only
cure for this state of things is public
opinion wlicl tOiH driUe men, especially

but this or the fall of Viclsburg and
Richmond will arouse thispublic opinion

rho Attack on franklin.

We saw many gloomy and more indig-
nant faces on the streets yesterday
morning. A report wac widely circu-
lated, brought it was said by some officer
that the garrison at Franklin had sur
rendered 70 the rebels under Forrest,
some 900 in number; and that gnns,
munitions of war, stores and our entire
force had fallen in the enemy's hands.
Hundreds of tongues circulated this
doleful story with celebrity and ayidity'
II was reported also, on the other hand
that largo achievements had been sent
to the garrison during the progress of the
fight, which was prolonged, till past
midnight, from two different directions.
II was deemed incredible that franklin
should be allowed to fall so ingloriously
when there were large bodies of troops
lying idle within two and three hours
march.
At present nothing is definitely as
certained, save the fact that the rebels
must have attacked the place in very
considerable force, and that there was
eight or ten hours of desperate fighting
We shall probably hear the result def
nitely before going to press.
Later reports state that the rebel force
was some 10000. Troops under Generals
Morgan and Turchin came up and drove
back the rebels, capturing some 600
prisoners. Fighting still going on at
noon, beyond Franklin.

Major Gen. Rosecrans has issued an
important General Order, requiring all
rebel Officers now in his hands, or here
after captured, to be closely confined.
The object of this is 20 protect Union
Officers now in rebel hands, who are held
by them as hostages for spies shot by
order of Con. Burnside or who are threat
ened with death because of connection
with negro regiments. Capt, Mckee of
Kentucky is one Of the hostages in rebel
hands.

Judging from the language and state
ments of the many Missouri newspapers
which we see, that State will very likely
adopt immediate, or virtually, immediate
emancipation. The slaves are running

The rebel General Tilghman was killed
at the bloody battle of Champion Hills,
by shell fred from the brigade of our
old friend General Burbridge. General
Burbridge will accept our hearty thanks
for killing q violent rebel aud a very
great dog. We made Tilghman's ac-
quaintance near two years ago in South
ern Kentucky. He sent for US to come
to his headquarters, where he received
us with much pOliteness in his private
room, end bored us for over one mortal
hour by trying to prove that we ought to
follow his example and turn rebel. lie

stitution, and love for the "Union as it

had retired from the Southern Confed-
eracy in utter disgust, and were whist

and the Star Spangled Banner" on our
winding way to the Ohio river, while we
travelled with accelerated velocity.
Tilghman was a man of education, but
of very little mind. He was self-con,
ceited, treachcrous, revengeful, tyranni-
cal and dishonest and we are not sorry
to hear of his death. We rather guess
that the devil has got him, and that he

Ameeting was held last week, in Phila-
delphia, to protest against the arrest Of
Mr.. Vallandigham. Judge Lewis pre-
sided and speeches were made by Ex-
Senator Bigler, Elk Congressman Biddle,
and Charles Jared Ingersoll. Their tone
was rather tame, and in favor of quiet
protest, their remedy lying in the ballot
box The resolutions call the arrest a
violence that the people ought not and
will not submit to, and propose the res
toraton to power of the Democratic par
ty as the great remedy, The names of
Yallandigham and George b. Mcclellan
were frequently cheered.

This fear Of irritating rebels reminds
us of a story told by Carlyle. Once
upon time two brothers were carrying

son. One held the infuriate man with
firm determination the other begged
him not to be SO harsh, as it must irritate
their patient; he had scarcely said these
words when the drunken fellow got the

stairs, mastered him, and finally put him

sAys:
The very seditious partisans who are
clamoring that the Government has
changed the object of the war, and is not
waging it to put down rebellion, do not
pretend to believe that the Government
has any surplus force to be diverted from
the object On the contrary, they de-
clare that we can never put down the
rebellion by force. The same treacherous
partisans in the earlier stages of the
war opposed the use Of the assistance Of
the blacks, because, they magnanimous-
ly argued, twenty millions of whites
were sufIicient without the aid of blacks
In pursuance of the same double-tongued
treachery now they declare that the
military power of the Government which
ia inadequate to put down the Southern
| rebellion, is dangerous TO the liberties Of

But we are told by these destructive
conservatives" that these black soldiers
will destroy the liberties of the country,
and aKentucky neGo-worshipping organ

black troops was enough to excite the
gravest apprehensions, that the Admin
istration intends to create despotism.

that if the loyal people can subjugate,
say 100000 of white rebels, they can
certainly keep 100000 of black people

Treasurer looks for heavy drafts throughout the
week. To-day the money market was unchanged.

In gold, and an inquiry for a sale Of two or three
hundred thousand affects the market quite SEN
sibly. Bankers asked 1917 q l62 for their bills

these rates, and later in the day lsO lsl was
