eqaatity with those Of our OWE army
Stanton. We arc told, teicgrapbs tie Yankee
press that he has sent on rei0fsrcer,ents Il
the amount Of $500 veterans; BIZ, VIC Id

would havs tclegraphed that no had acni
on 10000. But where Was &c to get Is o0l

get no men iroGa Nav O.leans, or FROM any
point ives. OF the Mississippi Dick Taylor
has laid au EN- barge upon the whole Yankee
tcfce in that quarter, ani will nc, let
thea come On. By abanG coming New
bern, hs might relieve brigade or
two; but he could hardly obtsin a3 eco men.
In our apluion, IL he has added 1000 ester
cns to Grin.'s army since the battle, 1. IS the
most thai he has done. Ninety days men
and raw nililin-the swsepipgs Of ihe
streets Of tbs great cit!ss-he may have sept
On to the tune Of 20 eco; but they will prove
O poor reliance In the hour Of danger. We
know nothing Of the numbers sent TO Gen.
Lee, but we do know that, be they os great
or as ANAL a. they may, they are good
troops, worthy to stand side W side with
any that ever drew ralnrod.
The numbers Of the two armies, then, we
take 60 be nearly equal; but they ere une-
qual in everything else. he Yankees are
cowsd, broken spirited, aod hopeless, fsom
the result Of the late battles, IL which they
saw that no superiority of nunesrs could
prevail over the superior vaior Of eur troops.
The Confederates axe buoyaut, hopeful,
eager for the fray, confident Of victory. AID
anxious to begia. They have been 10 the
habi. Of beating the boosted army Of the Pc
tooac when they numbered three or four -
one. They feel no doub. of ,b.ir ability TO
beat them now when taey arc not g.eatly
more numerous than themselves. l. Is :or
these reasons that we entertain no fears CT
tho result. On the contrary, we feel assured
that it will be in our favor, aud il Grant IS
badly defeated here he is lost man. 1t
should not be forgotten that Gen. Lee se-
cstves the attack beaind breast-woiki. - hs
has done .arougho 1t the campaign, thereby
occasiouing to the enemy the most eror-
