zer's grocery, Allen & Legon's store, and Graves

pins forci5Iy taken from The gentlemen on
the street. Negroes from 300 to 500 were taken
from the city and asii&cert country, and as an in
ducement for them 60 they promised
commissions in the Yankee army, and about 100

OUR RESOURCES.

The R;chmcpd Examiner, which is never prone
TO error on the side of praise or approval, gives
very cheering account of our resources. For the
benefit of the long faced occupants of street corn
ers. who are always smelling mice, we present the
following extracts:
The military resources of the South we're never
more ample than now; and the present condition
of the Confederacy, with reference to material ele
ments of success in the war, is one Of varied ana
lively announcements
It is estimated that we have arms enough to put
in the hands of million of men, and available
military strength is rated at but little less than
million and half We have now in the Cohtcd-
crate service from 100000 to 650,GO etectlTe
men; the irregular organizations and State militia
would probably add 100000 more. These figures
are authentic; portion of them are derived from
such public data as appear in the debates OF Con
gress; while the estimates Of the additional forces
that might be called out in circumstances OF para
mount necessity is probably not out of proportion
to the well-ascertained statistics of population
The recent alarm with reference to the resour-
ces of subsistence in the Confederscy has, IN a
great measure, subsidized, and given place to better
Informed and more confident views of the stocks
of provisions on hand, aud vast capabilities OF
production, which are now IN exercise. The gram
crops in the South were never more promising
than at the present time. The crop of wheat like
ly to be harvested this year Will be without par
ael in the South. From all parts OF the Conted-
eracy from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, and
the re motest Western boundary, we have cheering
news of the growing grain crops.
Extending our survey. of the internal condition
of the Confederacy, We have also cause for con-
graduation in its improved finances; the excellent
results of the tax bill; the Withdrawal Of the cur
rency; the reduction of OUTLAWS and the enlarged
revenue of the Government. We learn that a.
ready 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there have been at least eighty millions withdrawn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 wei! as CONNER
cal benefits of renewed confidence in the credit
of the Government.
These traits in the general condition of the
South, which We 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 a hundred thousand arms. Surely, since we
have accomplished SO much under the disadvanta-
ges of the past, may look with confidence to a
future 10 which we shall contest the fortunes Of
the war with armies more numerous than we have
yet brought into the field; with we'l-disciplined
industry ut home; aud with revenue large
enough to pay off our present war debt in five
years, and therefore to put the credit Of our Gov
eminent beyond all doubt.
