Volunteering has long since ceased in
the Northern States, and the heavy boun-
ties which twelvemonth since proved SO
efficacious in recruiting the Federal armies
have.ceased to prove attractive. The CO.
yernU0nt at Washington are now driven to
The alternative Of enforcing conscription
or else seeing their armies totally melt
away. In the South the effect of recent
events has been to necessitate an almost
universal application of the principle of
compulsory recruiting. The Southern
Preslden, has called upon all citizens in
the Southern States between the ages Of
Is and 45, 10 place themselves in readiness
to Join the armies of the State whenever
called upon. This in itself is proof of
he serious drain to which the Southern
population has been subjected BY the ne
cessltIes Of the present war; but if the call
!. cheerfully responded to, the South can
with ease furnish armies even more nu-
merous than those with which she has hith-
er,o struggled to secure her independence.
Thar the Southern population, however,
will continue to supply such troops as may
be demanded BY the Government, there can
be no reason 10 doubt; whereas that of the
North has in the most urmistakabe man
ner manifested is refusal to yield compli
ance 10 a measure which only extreme ne
cessity could justify. Il ! reported that
The Federal Government propose, notwiih.
standing the recent popdlar demonstrations,
10 enforce the CONSUMPTION. II this report
5e well founded, then no doubt can exist
thst the fighting population Of the North is
exhausted. Mr.. Lncoln does not possess
the means Of compelling obedience 10 his
DEGREES, and At the moment when success
appears mos, certain he will probably be
obliged to succumb. Regard being had,
therefore, to the producing pewers Of the
respective populations of the North and
South. i"r the purposes ol the present war,
we believe that the balance inclines in ia.
vor of The South. II is in the populous
cite. oi the Federal States that signs oil
exhaustion are unmistakably apparent"

which | can how give you bat hurried
sketch.
The enemy, instead OF sending aid 10
the relief OF Burnside, as supposed Gen.
Bragg felt convinced of, quietly waited
until we were shorn Of more than \ third
of our strength in attempting the East
Tennessee expedition, when on Monday
they began operations by attacking in
tremendous force and carrying by So
sault the Lockout Valley slope Of the
mountain. Our force on the Mountain,
much inferior in numbers had TO fight
their way down at night and united
with the balance Of the army en- Mission
sIonary Ridge the following morning.
Owing 70 our reduced strength, Gen.
II. advised falling back until Langstreet
and other forces sent TO East Tennessee
could unite, but it was determined 9th
erwise. On Monday morning the enemy
twice attempted TO carry cur position on
the right, but on each occasion was re-
pulsed with great slaughter; having Civ

Of the line he msssed heavily on our cen

Gen. Anderson, but in Hardee's corps,

Tended il, in overwhelming force but as
our artillery and musketry moved their
advance line down, another was ready 20
take their place. With the aid of the

two wings asunder.
At this juncture matters looked terri
bic, and will never forget the look Of
anguish written on poor General HArdee's
face. He sent me hurriedly 10 make

across the bay from tire island ;
seven in battery Immediately in front
of the Rebel barracks, and the third
battery, consistingof two heavy guns, is
placed at the shore Of the island.
The number Of prisoners there, at pres :
emit, is 2,536 all OF them officers. Packs-
ges for them are daily arriving from all
parts Of the North containing clothing,
boots, game, wine, food, and all sorts Of
luxeries. In this way their imprison-
ment has been rendered the most utter
farce, while our Union prisoners have
been starving at Richmond. This sys-
TEN has been changed. These packages

NEW YoRK, Dec. 8.-The Richmond
Wing of the Sd talks in the following
plain fashion:
With no other motive or thought than
10 advance the public interest, we would
again suggest to the President the sd-
vantage Of reconstructing his Cabinet,
and calling TO his aid the very ablest
intellec's Of the country. We have 8
Department of State that has not been
able for nearly three years to establish
relations with any other State Treas
ury Department that has failed TO keep
it's finances from running TO ruin War
Department in the hands of chief whose
studies and course Of life have been purely
and peculiarly civic; a Navy Depart
ment without = navy; POstcffice De-
partment with a very shackling system
of mails; a department ofjustice vacant.
The business Of each department sepa-
rately shows The want of = more mastery
hand, and the united powers Of the
chiefs in The Cabinet councils, If councils
are ever held, fail TO supply the quantum
Of wisdom The country needs. We are
getting to deep waters, and feeling Of
orsadis shaking the souls Of the psopls
There is nothing that the President can
do that will 50 resnimats their hearts
and stimulate their confidence in an
affection for him As the calling to his
side, as his duty advises, > cabinet OF
the wisest, truest, and most experienced
men in the country, regardless Of what
may have been their former political as
sOciations. The time is propitiOus, the
occasion urgent, and the people EnxiOUsly
expect it; and, for his continuing capac-
ity for usefulness and future fame, as
well as of the country, we earnestly press
this recommendation.

she had only seven hundred and fifty
dollars left to waste on diamonds, pearls,

TO purchase Ajewelled necklace from an

wora by only one of the three ladies.
The QUESTION was, how were the other
two to be supplied with tie indispensa-
