.sssE 81 Our Resources. -. ,.:ss.zl q ~
The Richmond Examiner, which is never
prone to error on the sidesof praise or ap-1
proval, gives a very cheering account Of our
resources. For the benefit Of the long
faced occupants Of street corners, who are
always smelling mice, we present the fol.
lowing extracts:
The military resources Of the South were
never more ample than now; and the pres
sent condition of the Confederacy, with
reference to material elements of success in
the war, is one Of varied and lively encour.

Its estimated thatwe have arms enough
to put in the hands Of q million of men,
and our available military strength is rated
at but little less than million and half
We have now in the Confederate service

the irregular organizations and State militia
would probably add zoo, 600 more. These
figures are authentic; q portion Of them are
derived from such public data as appear 10.
the debates of Congress; while the estimate
ofthe additional forces that might bescalled
out in circumstances Of paramount necessis
ty is probably not outsof proportion to the
we'll ascertained statistics Of population. I
= The recent alarm with reference to the
resources Of subsistence ia the ConfederacY
has, in great measure, subsidized, and Civ
ing place to better informed and more con-
fdent views of the stocks Of provisions on
hand, and our vast capabilities of produc-
ton, which are now in exercise. The grain
crops in the South were never more prom..
Using than at the present time. The crop
Of wheat likely to Be harvested this year
will be without parallel in the South. = =
From all parts Of the Gonfederaey, from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, and the reno.
test Western boundary, We have cheering
news of the growing grain crops.
Extending our survey of the internal con-
ditiou Of the Confederacy, we have also
cause for congratulation in Its improved &.
nances; the excellent resultsof the tax bill;
the withdrawal of the currency the reduc.
ton of outlays and the enlarged revenue Of
the Government. Welearns that already,
under the operations of the funding system,
there have been at least eighty millions
Withdrawn from circulation and returned to-
the Treasury. The consequences Of this
reduction are already felt in the decline Of
prices, the encouragement of speculation,
and the moral as we'll as commercial bene..
FITS Of renewed confidence in the credit Of
the Government. - .5s ~
These traits iu the general condition Of
the South, whichwe9h have hastily reviewed,
are full Of patriotic encouragement. We
commenced this war without manufactures,
without access to- the markets Of the world,
and with scarcely more than q hundred.
thousand arms. Surely, since we have 40;
complished so much under the disadyanta.
gesof the past, We may look with confidence.
to future in which we shall contest the.
fortunes Of the war with armies more nu.:
merous than we have yet brought into the.
field ; with we'll disciplined industry. at
home; and with revenue large enough to
pay off our present war debt in FIVE years.:
and therefore to put the. creditso Of our GoY-
ernment beyond all doubt. Z
