HOW TO RECRUIT THE ARMY.

The experience Of all natioLs in the condact Of
military operations has sufficiently verified the
observation of Jomini when he says that vigor-
GUS and regular system of recruiting is of prime
necessity to the successful prosecution of war In
our country, during the present war, the main re-
lance of the Government has been placed on vo-
lunteering, stimulated by the offer of bounties,
and in this way contingents Of unexampled magni-
tude have been furnished to our commanders in
the field according to the conceived exgencies of
the public service. To the draft, pure and sim
pie, without provision for communication, there is a
repugnsnce generally felt which outweighs, on the
score Of political prudence, the considerations Of
military character that to argue in Its favor.
1t is possible that the present may be brought
to close without creating a new demand for troops
to recruit the national armies in any field of its
operations but if this hope should not be justified
by the course of military events during the pre-
sent campaign, it strikes that the Boston Daily
Advertiser suggests an cxpedient policy for re-
plenishing the depleted ranks of the army when it
recommends follows
- The wants Of the army readily be supplied we
believe, for any exg"ncy that be conceived az
possible, without requiring any Of such severity
a CONSUMPTION without commutaton Let the Govern
ment estimate the supplies Of which it must
for the current military year, it does the supplies Of
money and let it's calls upon the States be made not for
three hundred thousand half milton recruits
but for certain monthly quota to be drawn by conscrp
ton if not otherwise supplied Every community will then
know precisely what before it, will be able to provide
for the future when labor is plenty and to Judge Of the
best for answering the requirements Of ts own
and the country will 10 be rscked by the
anxiety and alarm caused by sudden demands for vast
number Of men to meet some pressing emergency"
Besides other advantages apparent in this poll
cy it would have for its effect to fill up the ranks
of the army with new recruits as the vacancies
were created from time to time by the monthly
casualties and waste Of the service; whereas the
present system labors under the disadvantage Of
leaving the army in a state Of ineAi ,oncy dur
ing the intervals when its numbers have been
reduced by various causes and this inefhcienoy is
not repaired in the most expcdent manner by
tae introduction into the army at siagle time of
large contingent, composed Of raw recruits. The
same number Of men furnished in monthly install
ments would keep our armies always at regular
maximum, both in respect of their numbers and
their discipline.

speech of i" Parson Brownlow."

In the East Tennessee Convention at Knoxville
on the 14th ultimo, Parson Brownlow delivered
one of his characteristic speeches, of which the
following were the principle points:
Is | say that for more than eighty years slavery
has ruled this government and that for more
than three years, because it could no longer rule
it has sought, with fire and sword, and the as
sassn's knife and the dungeon, and the rack,
and the stake, and every device that hell could
suggest, to ruin this government. Since The
foundation of this government there have been
nineteen Presidents. OF these the South have
had thirteen. The North had in ALL but six,
and of these we kidnapped three, and ploughed
our cotton-felds, as we plough with bulls and
heifers. We have had most of the foreign APP
pontments, and the hind teats of the federal kline
at home; and these things we had when we were
not able to pay our postal expense to the general
government. And why? We did not solicit
things-we demanded them. In the name of
our superior manhood, or peculiar institution,
our heightened chivalry, we demanded them.
" Whence this arrogance We got it from the
negro And now am asked to let him
alone as property. fought Andrew Jackson

from his grave, | would have had him nj the
White House when the negro sent the southern
chiyalry TO hold q club over the head of that
mean, musty miserable mockery of a man, the
Old Public Functionary. Jackson would have
raised ten feet in his boots, and kicked the
wretched Pennsylvania through South Carolina
into the Atlantic Ocean And if he were here
to-day he would kick these copperhead resou-
tons into the ground and grind them opowdef
under his feet
