PROSPECTS OF AND INDUCE
MESTSs FOR A RECOG NITION OF
THE CONEEDEkATES.

From 1e Loasnn Post Cor. organ, Oct. ~.
However the recent change In rhe tao
ties cf the Confederate COMMANDMENT
Chief may result. il cannot but exercise
n considerable influence on the future
course Of the war. The time has gone
by when either the North or the South
could view with Comparative indifference
the loss of twenty or thirty thousand of
i,s troops; and the period has cnme when
both the belligercnts must make the most
of the forces still left at their disposal.
The North has more numerous popu-
la,iou than the South; but this prcpon-
dersnce in numbers il more than counter
balanced BY the existence Of feeling in
the Confederate States which can convert
40 q n.anent's notice every able bodied
man inte valiant, If not a well trained.
soldier. IrGencral Ice effected no other
result by his late invasion of the Northern
States than that Of creating vacancies in
his opponents ranks. which it has been
found impossible to gil up. that campaign
was not undertaken in vain. The severe
loss encountered by she Federals Ut the
drawn battle Of Gettysburg. compelled the
Government at Washington TO have re-
course to the objectionable expedient OF
raising fresh troops by means Of con-
scription. and tho a,aorious failure ct
this measure may be one of the ehief
causes Of the inability Of the great Army
of The Potomac to make stand against
the Confederate a.ivatce., Those who re-
garded alone the vast numerical superior
ity of the North at TIM coramcncement Of
the civil war were inclined to suppose
that. sooner or later, the South would
be vanquished by the simple process Of
exhaustion. Aud so. undoubtedly the
South would be- if the desire at aggran-
dizcment was ne exsiuguishsble rs the
desire Of freedom and Independence. But
is IL no. 30. or. more correctly speaking.
