seven hundred. thousand men in aud preparing for

Let every true Southerner to day rest assured
that the South will triumph. Calamities may bo.

THE YANKEE ARMY.

We fnd the following in late United States
paper:
,sMr Stanton, in his report, says he has 300, 900
menf Under arms. This statement suggests some
figuring. Under the three calls of the President
there were 1,175,000 men ordered out. 3O0,-
600 of whom to be drafted. These, if all are
in the field, added to the regular army, would make
total of, say 100000 But of the 100000
drafted men there are not probably over l50, 900
vet mustered into service
; DR. Bellows, Superintendent Of the Sanitary
Commission, states that 10000 men are sick,
and according to the New York Times, 1870 900
are stragSlers and deserters, making In these
three items alone, 100000 men, which, deducted
from the 1850 900 of the entire levy, would
leave 10000. From this we must further deduct
the dead and wounded during the existence of the
war; which few readers will be disposed to place
at less than 100000, and many considerably over
that number These are plain facts, and would
show that the War Department keeps troops
in pay on paper, who have probably never been
in service. and dismisses, as it did within a week
past, in disgrace officers and men killed in battle,
and dead six months, without its knowledge or
record
Another statement Of the Yankee army is sug-
gested by Stanton's figures. He says he has
900 men under arms. We presume this
means that this is the number now on the muster
rolls Now if / 100, 600 have been mustered into
service, as above stated, since the war commenced,
the figures confess that three hundred thousand
men have been killed, wounded, and permanently
disabled on the part of the enemy since the war
began A fearful host Of sacrifices, but probably
under the true number
Of the 500. 600 now on the rolls and drawing
paw, We are told above I50 900 sick and ls0,-
900 Struggling or deserted. Add 10000 for our
surplus Of prisoners, and We have deduction OF
$50 600 to make in order to get at the efficient
strength of the army. So that the enemy would
seem to have only 45o 900 men actually with arms
in their hands.

sec the necessity Of putting an their children to
school and keeping them there constantly until
the war is over The minds Of children should
be kept as calm as possible aud improved for fu.
ture usefulness. The boys Of the present age will
be called for at the age Of early manhood, and II
should be the pride Of our Southern friends TO pre-
pare the minds Of our youth, male and female, for
the stations they are TO assume. by all means, IN
all part. Of the Confederacy, build up schools.
