THE WEAK POINT OF TIE re-
HELIION.

The articles which We published two or three
days ago from Rebel journals upon their pol
icy in the war, have a bearing which ID not
only significant but most important in the
present crisis of our affairs. Those journals
discern the extreme Importance Of an increase
in the numbers of their forces in the field.
All their successes they declare have been
neutralized by the want Of few additional
thousands of troops TO gather up aud secure
the fruits of victory.
For the immediate future tho picture is even
more disheartenng. The Union forces are
pressing down upon them i'll every direction,
and there is great doubt whether tho over
burdened troops that uphold the Rebellion at
Vcksburg, Tullahoma, and Richmond, can
long sustain the unequal conflict without large
reanforcenents. If within the next two
MONTHS" cries Tie Richmond Examiner, " We
do not add seventy five or q hundred thousand
men TO our forces ia the Southwest, We shall
come to grief" Accordingly these journals
urge the more vigorous execution of their law
Of CONSUMPTION, and the rigid refusal of all cx-
emptions not absolutely Indispensable. The
whole success Of the war depends, they say,
upon their ability to enforce a moro universal
conscriptlon.
Among the exemptions which they censure,
none is 80 conspicuous rs that by which able.
bodied men are left free 10 guard The negroes.
L" Able bodied men must not be allowed TO
stay at home on The preiet Of attending TO
trenty negroes" This, then, is the most marked
of tho exemptions by which the Rebel armies
are diminished. Every twenty negroes absorb
the care of one white who would otherwise
DO soldier. We can understand how many,
that else would be forced into active service
Every timid and delicate man--every one
whose pecunary affairs or whose domestic ties
are more to him than the prosperity of the
rebclon-evcry man who distrusts the success
of the Rebel arms-and, above oil, every man
who in lis heart of hearts bears an uDspOken
loyalty to the beloved old Union, stays at home

the necessity for such care, precisely at the mo-
ment when the Rebels are inquiring whether
it might not be safe to forego this domestic
