THE srRENGeHENIyo OF, OUR ARMIES.

q prevalent idea that Scents 80 he liked as tate
in tho minds Of scmc Southern statesmen. 1
refer to the notion that size IL proof OF
strength. or that the. military capacity AMI
efficiency of our armies arc exactly deternin-
cd by the number. Of names we can SHOW on

70 perform more hard work. aud exhibit great
or fests Of activity and physical SlrcL 9Th. than
the man of smalke Dimensions, who lives in
conformity TO the laws Of health, aud is IN

respect for the opinions of others. l. think

and experience Of the world, euatlcs Va to
understand the difference between large macs
of starving, iN-clad and ill-'iisciplinnd men,
Observation-Disclosures With blcod-an army, and
Il wellsfed, well-clad and thoroughly disci-
pliued army, placed where nurs has never

ing neither the legislative wisdom OF u SDiun.
nor the military genius Of 6: Napoleon, vet.
am bold enough to venture = few piain spg-
gcstions, looking directly to the Improvement
of the Southern armies, and of, at least,
doubling their present strength and efficiency,
without placing tho namc OF anotirr man,
foreign or native, upon the muster-rolis:
As hal occasion to remark in another az
ticle, there are many able boaiel young men
nov bravely clamorins against Ma.ylanders,
who themselves have never looked grim
