favor was one of economy. 1t WAS better,
so the authorities told US, to incur great
expense and crush the rebellion 1t once.
than to operate with smaller fnrc.-, aud
allow the war to spread over two or three
years. The idea was to call out force so
overpowering that nothing could stand it.
The rebellion, for long time after this
enormous levy, was always within ninety
days of its extinction. Finally, one year
ago, promise of this kind was made by
Secretary Stewards agents in Europe to
the impatient foreign powers; but when the
time was up, the Government suddenly
discovered that it needed more than twice
the soldiers it had already in the field. A
vast levy Of three hundred thousand men
was ordered, and, TO make the success per
fsctly sure, there was an immediate add
tional call for another three hundred thou
sand by draft for nine months, within
which time this rebellion would beyond all
peradventure, be crushed out. The rea-
son for these vast levies was the same as
at first: 1t was better to exert the whole
strength of the nation at once, than to per-
init the war to be protracted for another
year. The time for about half this great
levy is about 10 expire, and no progress
whatever has been made since it was call
ed for. We have had the wholesale butche-
ry at Fredericksburg; repeated repulses
and utter failure at Vicksburg; and now
the mortify ing repulse at Charleston. We
hold no more of the rebel territory than we
did on the day the first three hundred
thousand were called for, at the pretended
instance of the Governors of the loyal
States. The Governors urged { 10 obedi-
snce to Al intimation from w ashington)
that these men should be raised TO "spee-
Oily crush the rebellion" The President,
in his reply, said: Il entrast they may
be enrolled without delay, so as to bring
this unnecessary and injurious civil war
to speedy conclusion To-day the spec
dy conclusion, SO sften bearded from
Washington, seems further off than ever.
