those which follow:
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-03-12


In this estimate we include all able
bodied white men between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-five years. Making
liberal allowances for the able bodied
young men between eighteen and twen-
ty, who are excluded by the act, and for
all other exemptions, we think the avail
able white militia forces OF the loyal
portions of the Union-States, parts Of
States and TerritOries-may be safely
set down as. fully up to tie grand aggregate
Of four millions u meil--aiaOst equal 10 tie
entire aOhite populatioa men, aoonsen and
children, Of tIe rebel States From this
sum total, under the Presidents several
requisitions-lrst for 10000, second for
100000, third for 100000, and fourth for
300OOO-there have been drawn an ag-
gregate, We dare say, not exceeding enc
million of men and of this aggregate
there are now some 100000 in the field
The killed, wounded and missing, and
those who have died of disease, and those
who have been Withdrawn from the field
in consequence of the expiration of their
terms of volunteer service, will make up
the difference of three hundred thousand
men.
Thus it appears that, with 100000
men in the field, and naval force equal,
for the purposes OF this war, to an army
of half a million of men, we have a
militia reserved force of three millions
10 fall back upon. The armed forces Of
the rebellion in the field on tho other
hand, can hardly exceed four hundred
thousand men, and they are unsupported
on the water except by two or three pi-
ratical Flying Dutchmen, roaming about
on the Atlantic, and few extemporized
irOn-clads Of the MsrrimRc and Arkan-
sas construction at Richmond, Charles
ton, Savannah, and Mobile Nor have
the rebelious States any militia reserves
from which TO replenish their armies in
the field. The latest official returns re-
oeived at the Adiutant Generals Office
at Washington represent the enrolled
militia Of the States now involved in the
rebellion as follows:

We may safely say, therefore, that
while the cOnscriptions Of jeff Davis
during the last twelve months have ex-
hausted the available forces of the re-
yolted States, and have brought them all
into the field, President Lincoln has a re-
served militia force of three millions of
men upon which to draw, and from which
he may draw million of soldiers with
out very seriously disturbing the essen
tial industrial operations Of the country.
But believing, as we do, that our land
and naval forces now in the field, if man
aged with ordinary ability, are sufficient
TO put down the armies of the rebellion,
the question ecurs, why, then, this
sweeping Conscription act We conjec-
ture that il is designed 70 meet the pos
sihle contingencies of foreign interven-
iion; and in view of powerful military
diversion into Mexico or Canada, should
the future proceedings of France or Eng
land call for it.
In late number of the LondP Post
Che mouthpiece of Lord Palmerston, } the
editor, commenting on the latest aspects
of this war, says that the federals are
divided and dispirited, ashamed TO con-
fess themselves foiled, yet anxious for a
decent preteXt for Withdrawing from an
undertaking they feel to be hopeless !"
that that grand army (of the Potomac)
on which their hopes principally were
based is so d0moralized that two-ihirds
of the msn have doggedly refused to fol-
low their generals" and that in England
!" the little diversity of opinion which
may be found in regard TO the issue Of
the war must now speedily cease TO
exist" We suspect, however, that this
federal Conscription act, and the facts
and figures which we have produced in
connection with it, will tend rather to
increase than to diminish this diversity
OF English public opinion until the scales
are changed. Let US have q single tell
ing victory upon the heels of these late
comprehensive war measures of Con-
grsss, and they will be sufficient TO con-
vince even Lord Palmerston that JEFF.
Davis is tottering to his fall, and that
European Intervention is utterly out Of
the question.
Hence we concur in this Conscription
act as the most effective stroke of diplo-
macy that could be employed towards
the South, and towards England, to con-
vince her of the strength and determine
ton of the government and loyal States
of the Union to put down this Southern
rebellion even against tho possible con-
tingency OF European Intervention.
