LOYAL SLAVE .srArEs.

The immense disparity between the
quotas OF the loyal free and loyal slave
States, is partially explained by the fact
that each Of the latter has contributed
more or less TO The rebel army as we'll as
to the Uuion army. But making due
allowance for that, there is still dispari.
" enough 10 confirm the opinion OF the
"Fathers Of the Cons stitution" that Slave
ry carries with it military weakness and
not military strength.
While these figures encourage our pa
triotism and cheer us, they teach, TO, a
lesson about fae.gn intervention. The
article we have referred 10, says that
force of 10000 infantry, 12,O0O cavalry,
2 0O0 engineers aud 300 guns, is pr0nA-
bly the utmost thar could be devoted (by
Englahd) to an offensive war and To

words, England could send against this

more, and Of lS0 guns less Ihan that win

anthOiiiies say. Oas not a sailor may

army; hence the craving Of honorable men

1.-THE army is ever 10 lie q real army, nj!
elections mnst be abolished, and appointments
and promotions mast be made on the re-
commentators of commanding Generals
There is now, after three years war, = real
and large element Of trained military talent;
for actual war is g better school than Sand
hurst, St. Cyr, Or West Poiat. In iac', there
are far too many officers in tie service, so that
the present body of commissioned officers
might be advantageously weeded and new APP
pointmcnts made, bath under the careful re-
commerdation of the Generals. Then, .: last.
we should have q real army.
The case Of those who have heretofore hired
substitutes will certainly come before Con
gress. 1t has already been mootcd in the
press; and the argument of Governor BEoEn,
Of Georgia, in favor Of putting such persons
at once into the army, has still more awakened
attention 70 tho subject. In this matter, also,
perhaps it will be found that the experience
Of such long and desperate war, calling
forth ell! the encFgics Of the country, has ula-
tnrially altered the situation which existed,
when able bodied men were allowed to hire n
proxy cornbatant for mere tFife, and then
! to devote their whole souls to making money,
satisfied that they had done enough for their
country.
1t will surprise no ono 10 find that those
newspapers which are Coy "pcacc on some
terms" cry out gricvousiy at 'he rTop"Ta! 20
90 back upon the reserve d substituted men,
a newspaper in North C:"oiina czcl"ims-
"Such thing canno. honestly be dNne.'-
GLOW could members of Congress deliberate
" vote TO break the faith Of The government
&c. Such are tie sentiments Of tie people
who cninc that the war has lasted long
enough" But it is not the common opinion.
