that the strength of the rebel army was
100000. which the country was unable to
feed.

campaign that will occur.
Mode, of Virginia, said his State
couldn't stand another draft. This was
the opinion of the enrolling officers who
recently assembled in Richmond.
Mr.. Holcomb, Of Virginia, thought the
weak point of the Federab was their
finances, and the policy of the Confede-
rates was to protract the war. Our last
crops were far below an average. Take
away more men and starvation will be
the inevitable result.
Other speeches were made and the bill
under discussion passed forty -one against
thirty-one.
l, amends the conscript law 50 as to
exempt farmers and planters on condition
OF their giving an additional tenth of their
supplies for the use of the army.

bill passed to impress all male free me-
groes between IL and SO to work ON for
tifcations, iu the production or prepare
ton Of materials Of war. or in military
hospitals; they to be compensated at the
rate Of eleven dollars per month. ALSO

ners to receive full pay for those who die
in the service or escape to the enemy;
also allowing the impressment Of slaves
in any military department. where they
can be obtained in the above manner, to
the number of 10000, they to be paid for
as above. 81
