THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE.
From the very commencement of the
present struggle between the NortheI anG
Southern halves of the United States, there
are not few people who have affected tC
believe that all the earnestness and deter.
mination of purpose were on the side oi
the rebels. The North, we were told
would speedily be tired of the war. As
soon as 1t was found that the invasion and
subiugation of the South involved some.
thing more than picnic on huge scale,
the enthusiasm Of the men of the free
States would evapOrate, and they would be
glad to come to peace upon any terms, NO
matter how ignOminiOus they might be-
The consequence has been that whenever
any disaster has attended the Federal arms,
whenever gold has taken a sudden jump
upward, whenever the rebels have given
signs of increased energy, whenever the
Government has made a heavy call upon
the resources of the people, it has been
loudly proclaimed that the time has come
when we should see general "caViug in, !"
magnificent collapse, when buOyant hope
would give place to degrading servility,
when the plans of future conquests would
be submerged amid the Whirl and hub bub
of popular discomfort.
The time, we should think, has now ar.
rived, when those who have taken this
view of the case might, in the light of ex-
perience, very wisely review their opinion.
The question is not one of feeling. The
reply that should be given to it does not
depend upon the rightfulness of the North

1t resolves itself simply into this: Do the
indications of the present or of the past
warrant the belief that the war will soon
close on account Of the refusal of the
Northern people to supply the necessary
means for its prosecQtion2 III an RthEma-

1t were useless to recount in detail the
history of successive epochs in the prose-
cution of the war, each of which has DEM
onstrated the iuvincible determination of
the Northern people to subjugate the South
if within the bounds Of possibility. There
have been times when fate itself appeared
against them; when their armies have been
that the whole work, after months of severe
strugglings, had to be recommended. But
upon each occasion the spirit Of the people
has risen superior to calamity. Defeat it
self has served as a means of rallying the
immense majority of loyal meu to the sup
port of the Administrator The success
i've calls for armies have been responded to
with an alacrity never perhaps before
equalled in the history of the world. The
issue of paper money has revolntionized
the whole system of finance, and whatever
objections may be taken to it from an eco
nomical point OF view, has furnished the
sineWs of war in abundance and though
it has raised the prices of many necessaries
in greater ratio than the wages OF labor,
the consequent hardships are borne almost
without murmur. Congress has respond
ed to the popular will (; it has voted what
ever supplies have been asked for, aud has
given to the Executive Whatever powers
have been esteemed necessary to the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
Twelve months ago the democratic party
gained some strength in-the elections but
it now being understood that a section at
least of that party is more opposed to the
suppression OF the rebellion az all, than to
the mode of its suppression, they have
been thoroughly routed at the polls. Mo-
where in the North can they show their
faces with chance of success. Trade is
good; business hourishes. Granted, the
war fnds great support from those whose
pecuniary interest demands It's continu-
ance; they must still be counted in.''-
Moreover, the Republican psFty-the par
ty which elected Abraham Lincoln, and
which has majority in both Houses Of
Congress-have staked their political ex-
istence upon the successful Termination of
the war, and they are bound, from the great
est down to the least, TO carry 1t on so long
MS the remotest chance of victory remains.
The morality OF some Of these elements of
strength to the Federal power will be re-
garded according to the view held as TO
the justice or injustice Of the contest. So
but whatever the decision may be, they
must be taken into the estimate aud be ad-
mittsd to- exist, whenever IL Is sought TO
decide how soon the Northern States are
likely to acknowledge the Independence of
the Confederate SecedeFs.
We might, it may be said on the other
/ hand, take into account the elements of
resistance to be found In the Southern
States; but We are just now discussing,
not the possibility or probability Of tine
Federal Government being able TO REFUGE
the Confederates 70 obedience, but Rheth-
er or not there are any signs of diminu-
ton Of determination In the North.
In this position, then, are matters when
President Lincoln issues call for another
300, 600 Tolunteers-an immense army,
nearly equal TO the entire number Of men
capable Of bearing arms In the whole Of
Canada. It might well be supposed that
